ThefatherofJohntheBaptistwasZachary,his mother,Elizabeth.Theyhadgrownoldwithouthaving childrenand,likeanyJewishcoupleofthattime,they boretheirstigmawithheavydisappointment.Zachary wasapriestandonedaywhenhewasofferingincense intheTemplethearchangelGabrielappearedtohim andsaidhewouldyethaveason.Moreover,thisson wastobecomesomeonequitespecial,hewadtobethe forerunnerandprecursoroftheMessias.

ISTRUCK DUMB UNFORTUNATELY,Zacharymadethe mistakeofaskingforasigntoconfirmthe authenticityoftheangel'smessage.Did hereallydoubttheangel'swords?Or, inrequestingverification,washemerelyactingasother goodmen,suchasAbrahamandMoses,hadactedin similarcircumstances?Wedon'tknowwhatZachary's motiveswere,butweknowthathegotasignallright, andonethatliterallylefthimspeechless.Zacharywas struckdumbformorethanninemonthsuntilhisson wasborn.

Fromthebeginning,thischildofZacharyandElizabethwasextraordinary.WhenMarycametovisither cousinElizabeth,JohntheBaptistleaptinhismother's wombwhenherecognisedtheunbornChrist.

Johnwassanctifiedwhilestillinthewombandso wasbornwithoutoriginalsin-althoughhewasnot conceivedwithoutoriginalsin.Mostofhisyoung manhoodhespentinsolitudeinthedesertpreparing byprayerandmortificationforhisgreatvocation.He livedamostausterelife,wearingacrudegarbcommon tothenomadicshepherds(aroughcloak.ofcamel skin)andeatinglocustsandwildhoney.

AboutsixmonthsbeforeOurLordappearedinpublic, Johnbegantopreach.Hehadonetheme:Repent, changeyourwayofthinking,forthekingdomofGod isathand.Unlikethepreviousfalseprophets,John's preachingwassosincereandhadsuchastrongmoral tonethatheattractedalargeaudience-enough,at least,toincurthejealousyofthePharisees.

Inspiteofhispopularity,thereneverwasanydoubt inJohn'smindabouthisfunction.Heknewthathewas simplythemanchosenbyGodtointroducetheMessias. Hedescribedhimselfasavoicecryinginthewilderness, onewhowastocomebeforetheMessiastomakethe roughwayssmoothforHim,makestraightHispaths.

Later,whenhisownfollowerscomplainedofthe popularityofJesus,Johnsaidbluntlythathewasto decreasewhileChristwastoincrease.Hesaidhewas notworthytountiethesandalsofChrist.WhenOur LordcametobebaptisedbyJohn,ittooksomeconvincingbyHimbeforeJohncouldbepersuadedtoperform thatsymbolicact. *

ItwasAndrewwhointroducedhisbrotherPeter,soon tobecomethefirstPope,toChrist.So,inadditionto hisotherlaurels,JohntheBaptistwasatop-notch scoutandrecruiterofvocationsforhisMaster.

Towardstheendofhistime,JohndenouncedKing Herodforlivinginadulterywithhisbrother'swife, Herodias.Ashisrewardforpublicisingthisembarrassingfact,Johnwasclappedintoprison.Thatwas notenoughforHerodias.SheknewJohnwasherenemy andwouldnotrestuntilshehadhishead.

ABRIDGE TOUNITY

DESPITEtheseriousdifferencesthathavebeen aggravatedsoseverelyintherecentlycompletedpoliticalcampaignintheUnitedStates, itwouldseemthattherewillbesomegoodeffectsfrom theinjectionofthe"religiousissue"intothepolitical arena.

IthasmademanyCatholicsrealisethatinsomevery importantaspectstheyare"different"fromtheir brotherAmericans,andthatitisnecessaryforthem toknowthebasisofthisdifference.Theymust,therefore,haverealisedthenecessityofbeingbetterinformed ontheirownFaith,notonlyinordertoanswerobjectionsmadeagainstit,butalsotosupplytheright answersforsincereinquirers.

COMMON ENEMIES

ASFARastheaverageProtestantisconcerned,weare convincedthathewasrelativelyuntouchedbymuch ofthescurrilouschargesbeingmade, andthatformany,therewasoccasion seriouslytoexaminethetraditional 'imitationsunderwhichtheirCatholic neighbourshavelaboured.Actually, althoughinhigh-level,intellectualcirclestherehas beenconsiderableandamicableexploratoryinvestigationofthepreliminarystepsthatmightleadtoa reunionamongProtestantandCatholicChristians,our countryisfarbehindtheprogressmadeinsomeEuropeancountries,notablyinGermany.

There,wherethevariousChristiangroupssuffered equallyundertheoppressionofNazism,andmore recently,ofcommunism,therehasbeenextensivecollaborationandco-operation.Theresistancetocommon enemiesofallreligionhascompelledsincereChristians toworktogetherandtodevelopasolidfront.

Interestingly,itappearsthatitwillbetheliturgy, whichistheworship-lifeoftheChurches,thatholds suchgreatpromiseofbeingabridgeoverwhichreal reunionmaybeaccomplishedbeforetoolong.This, withtheannouncedintentionofreligiousunityproposed byPopeJohnXXIIIforthecomingGeneralCouncil, offerexcitingprospectstoanticipatewithinthenext fewyears.

OurCatholicworshiphaskeptsacredsomethingthat mostoftheProtestantChurcheshavecompletelyabandoned,andthatisthefundamentalnotionofsacrifice. Mostoftheirreligiousservicesinvolvecommunity prayer,communitysongandasermon.Buttheyhave losttheprimarycharacteristicofreligionwhichinvolvesalsoasacrificeorofferingmadetoGod.

AWAKENING

ONTHEOTHERHAND,thoughwehavemaintained thisindispensableelement,toanunfortunateextent wehaveabandonedthenecessary notionofparticipation.Fortoolong andfortoomanytheMass,which isthecentralactofourCatholicworship,hasbeena passivethinginwhichourgoodpeoplehavesilently letthepriestgohiswaywhiletheywenttheirs.Their waytooeasilybecameadistractedindifferencetothe sublimeactiontakingplaceinwhichtheyshouldhave sointimateapart.

WeCatholicsarenowrealisingthegreatvalueof activeandintelligentparticipation.TheProtestant Christiansarefindingthattheirreligiousserviceslack acertainessencethatwetakeforgranted.

R.:Thesurprisingthing is,notthatalargemajority repliedinsuchaway,but thatalldidnotdoso.

Q.:TheGallupPolldidnet dealwithmixedquestionswherepoliticsand religionoverlap.Could yougivethegeneral principlescoveringboth aspects?

R.:Thepositionhasbeen clearlystatedbyPopeLeo XIIIinhisEncyclical"On theChristianConstitutionof States."Therehewrites: "TheAlmightyhasgiventhe chargeofthehumanraceto twopowers,theecclesiasticalandthecivil,theone beingsetoverdivineand theotheroverhuman things,Eachinitskind issupreme withlimits definedbythenatureand specialprovinceofeach."

Otherthingsareobviously
