TheQueerIdeasThatPrevail!

"Chrysogonus,"Sydney:OnSunday,July3,accordingtoa"Telegroph"report,Mr.AlanDalziel,aPresbyterian,addressedaSunday StudentSocietyaftertheRev.BernardJuddhadspokenonthesubject:"IsRomanCatholicismamenaceinAustralianpolitics?"

R.:Mr.JuddisanAnglicanministerofLowChurch views,andsecretaryofthe N.S.W.CouncilofChurches. He,ofcourse,cannotthink oftheCatholicChurchexceptasamenace,whether inAustralianpoliticsoranywhereelse.Hehasthe"No Popery"outlookusuallyassociatedwiththeLord GeorgeGordonriotsin1780, whichDickenssopilloried inhisnovel,"Barnaby Rudge." ButIhavedealtsufficientlywithMr.Judd'sutterancesinprevioussessions.

Q.:Mr.Dalzielsaid"areligiousorganisationseekingtouseitshighlyorganisedminoritygroups tofurtherthecauseofa particularChurchwas badfordemocracy."

R.:I'msurethere'snothingbadfordemocracyin Mr.Dalziel'sownPresbyterianChurchusingthe Presbyterian Fellowship UnionasanorganisedminoritygrouptofurtherPresbyterianinterests.But,of course,hewasnotconcernedwithpurelyreligious societiesforpurelyreligious andsocialwelfarepurposes.

InkeepingwiththeRev. Mr.Judd'sownlecture,his purposewastoattackthe CatholicChurchandtosuggestthatthatChurch,to furtheritsowncause,had engineeredpoliticalpenetrationoftheAustralianLabor movementbyorganised minoritygroups.Which happenstobequiteuntrue.

Q.:"TheAustralianLabor Partywashesitant,"he said,"becauseitsmind wasdivided andundecidedwhattodoincertainsituations."

R.:Mr.Dalziel'sdiagnosis ofthetroubleis,ofcourse, thattheinfluenceofCatholicsintheA.L.P.istoo great,preventingatakeoverbyLeftwingelements withCommunistsympathies. Hencetheremedyheatonce proposed.

Q.:"Protestantsources,"he said,"mustgivemore favourandencouragement totheLaborParty.".

R.:Theideaseemstobe sothatProtestantsinthe A.L.P.wouldtend,owingsea theirreligiousantipathies,to

pittheirinfluenceagainst Catholicmembersofthe Party.That,however,cannotentirelybetakenfor granted. Forexample,Mr.Kim BeazleyisaProtestant, everybitasmuchopposed asCatholicstoCommunist effortstoinfiltratethe Labormovement.Hence theeffortsofMr.Dalziel's fellowPresbyterian,theRev. KeithDowding,toreplace himasFederalLaborrepresentativeforFremantle,in ordertogivemorefavour andencouragementtothe Leftwingelementsinthe Party.

Q.:"BoththeRomanCatholicChurchandMoscow," Mr.DalzieltoldthisSundaySchoolgroup,"inspire greatdevotionandimpose muchdiscipline.Wemust imposeagreaterdiscipline."

R.:Thatreallyspoils things.AfavouritecatchcryofsomeProtestantshas beenthatdemocracyand freedomarethreatenedby thetworigidly-disciplined totalitarianpowers,Rome andMoscow. Surelytheremedywould beworsethanthediseaseto confrontpoordemocracy withyetathirdstillmore rigidlydisciplinedtotalitarianpower-Protestantism! Ofcourse,that'sanidle dream.Religiously,Protestantsareincurablydividedamongthemselves,and areaslikelytobedivided intheirpoliticalviewswithintheLaborPartyasare Mr.KimZeazleyandthe Rev.KeithDowding.

Q.:Don'tyouyourselfthink Mr.Dalzielhasmisunderstoodthegreatdevotion anddisciplineprevailing amongCatholicsgenerally?

R.:Itisquitecertainthat hehasdoneso,orhewould notbracketthemwiththe devotioninspiredandthe disciplineimposedbyMoscow.ThedevotionofCatholicsisessentiallyaloveof Godissuinginpiety,whilst theirdisciplineisdueto theiracceptanceoftheWill ofGodmanifestedinthe teachingsandpreceptsof Christastaughtbytheir Church.

B.C.,Warner'sBoy:Inhisbooklet"The RomanCatholicBiblehastheAnswer,"the Rev.OswaldJ.Smithputsthequestion:"Do wegotoPurgatorywhenwedie?"

R.:Inaccordancewithhis Protestantoutlook,theRev. Mr.Smithsaysnotothat. Butmanythinkingpeople aregettingovertheirprejudicesinthismatter.

Inhisbook,"TheChristian Faith,"theProt/stanttheologian,Dr.C.B.Moss, writes,p.440,thatsuch pejudicesareduetothe theoriesofJohnCalvin. Calvin,hesays,"deniedthe existenceofany'intermediate'state,andtaughtthat allmenwentimmediately afterdeathtoHeaven,if elect,andtoHell,ifreprobate;andthatineither caseprayerwasuseless,and thereforeforbidden.There seems,however,tobeno basisforthisdoctrinein Scripture;itiscontraryto thetraditionoftheChurch, anddoesnotappeartobe reasonable.Mosthumanbeingsareamixtureofgood andevil,anddonotseem tobefiteitherforHeaven orforHellwhentheydie."

AsaProtestant,Dr.C.B. Mossspeakssomewhathesitantly,buthemakesitquite clearthathedoesnotshare intheRev.OswaldJ. Smith'soverconfident denial.

Q.:"Wecouldreadthis RomanCatholicBible throughfromthefirst wordtothelast,"declares theRev.Mr.Smith,"and wewouldnotreadone singleverseaboutpurgatory."

R.:2Machabees,12:46 reads:'Itisthereforeaholy andwholesomethoughtto prayforthedead,thatthey maybeloosedfromtheir sins."Thiscan'trefertothe soulsofthedepartedin

heavenwhoareinnoneed ofprayer;nortosoulsin hell,forwhomitisuseless topray.Itcanreferonlyto soulsinanintermediate state,stillneedingtobe loosedfromtheeffectsof theirsins;inotherwords, soulsundergoingpurificationorpurgatory-astate rightlycalled"purgatory," inwhichthecharitable prayersofthefaithfulcan affordthemrelief.

Q.:"Machabees,"declares theRev.OswaldJ.Smith, "isnotGod'sWord."

R.:Thatwon'tdo,ina bookletentitled:"TheRomanCatholicBiblehas theAnswer."Ear/herhe wrotethathisbooklet"isa sincereefforttopointout whattheRomanCatholic Bibleitselfhastosay"; andhedeclared:"Itisa beautiful,accuratetranslationandtruetotheoriginal theinfallableandauthoritativeWordofGod."Yet heforgetsallthatanddeclarestheBookofMachabees,whichispartofthe CatholicBibletobe"not God'sWord,"sinceitcontainsapassageclearlyindicatingtheexistenceofthe purgatoryhedenies.

TheRev.OswaldJ. Smithcan'thavethings bothwayslikethat.Hemay saythattheProtestant BiblerejectstheBookof MachabeesasnotacanonicalpartoftheOldTestament.Butherulesthat pleaoutbyundertakingto provehispointsfromthe "RomanCatholicBible" only.WhethertheBookof Machabeesshouldbeacceptedasacanonicalpartofthe

OldTestamentisanother matteraltogether.Andon thatquestionhecouldgive nosoundreasonforthe exclusionoftheBookfrom theProtestantBibleor againsttheacceptanceofit bytheCatholicChurch.

Q.:"In1Cor.3:8-15,"he asserts,'Tau'speaksof oursalvation.Heistalkingaboutrewardsfor faithfulservice.Thesewe willreceiveattheJudgmentSeatofChrist.Purgatoryisnotevensuggested."

R.:Firstly,theideaof "rewardsforfaithfulservice"soundsdangerously liketheCatholicdoctrine thatgoodworksaremeritoriouswhichtwopages latertheRev.OswaldJ. Smithdenies!Buttakethe passagehenowmentions. Accordingtohim,ithasto doonlywithourgood works,toberewarded.It containsnoreferencetosalvation,andcertainlynotto anypenaltiesforevilworks. Nowlistentothepassagein question,whichtheRevMr. Smithdoesnotquoteand probablyhopesreaderswill notcheckupforthemselves. Itwillbeenoughtocite verses13:15;andIwilldo sofromtheProtestant AuthorisedVersionofthe Bible.Thewordsareas follows:"Everyman'swork shallbemademanifest:for thedayshalldeclareit, becauseitshallberevealed byfire;andthefireshall tryeveryman'sworkof whatsortitis.Ifanyman's workabide heshallreceiveareward.Ifanyman's workshallbeburned,he shallsufferloss;buthe himselfshallbesaved;yet soasbyfire."Leavingthose wordstospeakforthemselves,I'llreservefurther commentsforlaterdate.

OnWhiteAustralianPolicy

AmericanVisitors,Turramurra:The"DailyTelegraph,"July22, quotedyouassayingthatthe"RomanCatholicChurchtooknostand ontheWhiteAustraliaPolicy."

R.:Inresponsetoapress inquiry,Istatedthefact thattheCatholicChurch hasmadenoofficialdeclarationeitherforor againstheso-called"White AustraliaPolicy."Ispeak ofitasthe"so-called" WhiteAustraliaPolicybecausethetermappearsnowhereinanylegalformulariesofthiscountry.There isnolawforbiddingthe entryofnon-EuropeansintoAustralia,inordertosettlehere.

TheAustralianLabor Partydoesincludeinits platformasanobjectivethe "maintenanceofaWhite Australia;"butthathas neverbeenwrittenintothe lawsofthecountry.The lawasitstandsleavesit whollytothediscretionof theMinisterofImmigration astowhetherornotan entrypermitshouldbe grantedtothosewhodesireone.Inpractice,the ImmigrationDepartmentrestrictspermitstothoseof Europeanasdistinctfrom thoseofnon-Europeanorigin,atleastasageneral rule.Exceptionsconsidered reasonablywarrantedby, theDepartmentarefrequentlymade.

Q.:AsguestsfromAmerica, itmayseeminappropriate forustoenteranycontroversyontheWhite AustraliaPolicy.

R.:Controversialaspects ofthatsubjectarereally outsidethescopeofmysession.InexplainingtheattitudeoftheCatholicChurch, itwasenoughformeto saythatnoofficialruling hasbeengivenbythe Churcheitherfororagainst thepolicyoftheDepartment ofImmigrationinthis matter.

Q.:YouarequotedassayingthatCatholicsare free,asfarastheCatholic Churchisconcerned,to formanyopinionthey wantonthesubject.

By CARDINAL WISEMAN CHAPTERXI-THEWOLFANDTHEFOX.

Threatenedbymoreferociouspersecutions, theChristiansinRomedecideatameeting todisperseintothecountryside.Polycarpis toleadthemandSebastianwillremainin Rome.Thestorynowmovesfromthelightof thefaithfultotheevilcreaturesofdarkness.

THEhintsoftheAfricanslavehadnotbeen thrownawayuponthesordidmindofCorvinus.HerownhatredofChristianityarose fromthecircumstancethataformermistress ofhershadbecomeaChristianandhadfreed allherslaves;but,feelingitwrongtoturnsodangerous acharacterasAfra,orratherJubala(herproper name),upontheworld,hadtransferredhertoanother proprietor.

CorvinushadoftenseenFulviusatthebathsand otherplacesofpublicresort,hadadmiredandenvied him,forhisappearance,hisdress,hisconversation.

Butwithhisuntowardshyness,ormoroseness,he couldneverhavefoundcouragetoaddresshim,had henotnowdiscoveredthat,thoughamorerefined,he wasnotalessprofoundvillainthanhimself.

Fulvius'switandclevernessmightsupplythewant ofthesequalitiesinhisownsottishcomposition,while hisownbruteforce,andunfeelingrecklessness,might bevaluableauxiliariestothosehighergifts.

Hehadtheyoungstrangerinhispower,bythediscoverywhichhehadmadeofhisrealcharacter.He determined,therefore,tomakeaneffort,andenterinto alliancewithonewhootherwisemightproveadangerousrival.

AbouttendaysafterthemeetingoftheChristiansin theabodeofSebastianCorvinuswenttostrollinPompey'sgardens.Thesecoveredthespaceroundhis theatreintheneighbourhoodofthepresentPiazza Farnese.AconflagrationinthereignofCarinushad destroyedthescene,asitwascalled,oftheedifice,and Diocletianhadrepaireditwithgreatmagnificence.The gardensweredistinguishedfromotherbyrowsofplane tress,whichformedadeliciousshade.Statuesofwild beasts,fountainsandartificialbrooksprofuselyadorned them.

Whilesaunteringabout,hecaughtasightofFulvius, andatoncemadeuptohim.

"Whatdoyouwantwithme?"askedtheforeigner, withalookofsurpriseandscornattheslovelydressof Corvinus.

"Tohaveatalkwithyou,whichmayturn'outtoyour advantage-andmine."

"Whatcanyouproposetome,withthefirstofthese recommendations?Nodoubtatallastothesecond."

"Fulvius,Iamaplain-spokenman,andhavenopretensionstoyourclevernessandelegance;butweare bothofonetrade,andbothconsequentlyofonemind."

Fulviusstarted,anddeeplycoloured;thensaid,with acontemptuousair:"Whatdoyoumean,sirrah?"

"Ifyoudoubleyourfist,"rejoinedCorvinus,"toshow methefineringsonyourdelicatefingers,itisvery well.Butifyoumeantothreatenbyit,youmayas wellputyourhandagainintothefoldsofyourtoga. Itismoregraceful."

"Cutthismattershort,sir.AgainIask,whatdo youmean?"

"This,Fulvius,"andhewhisperedintohisear,"that youareaspyandaninformer."

Fulviuswasstaggered:thenrallying,said:"What righthaveyoutomakesuchanodiouschargeagainst me?"

"YouDISCOVERED"(withstrongemphasis)"a conspiracyintheEast,andDiocletian-"

Fulviusstoppedhim,andasked:"Whatisyourname andwhoareyou?"

"IamCorvinus,thesonofTertullus,prefectofthe city."

Thisseemedtoaccountforall;andFulviussaid,in subduedtones:"Nomorehere,Iseefriendscoming. MeetmedisguisedatdaybreaktomorrowinthePatricianStreet,undertheporticooftheBathsofNovatus. Wewilltalkmoreatleisure."

Corvinusreturnedhome,notill-satisfiedwithhisfirst attemptatdiplomacy;heprocuredagarmentshabbier thanhisownfromoneofhisfather'sslaves,andwasat theappointedspotbythefirstdawnofday.Hehad towaitalongtime,andhadalmostlostpatience,when hesawhisnewfriendapproach.

Fulviuswaswellwrappedupinalargeover-coat, andworeitshoodoverhisface.Hethussaluted Corvinus-

"Goodmorning,comrade;IfearIhavekeptyou wailinginthecoldmorningair,especiallyasyouare thinlyclad."

"Iown,"repliedCorvinus,"thatIshouldhavebeen tired,hadInotbeenimmenselyamusedandyetpuzzled bywhatIhavebeenobserving."
