R.A.G.,Queensland:Althoughformanyyearsaconverttothe CatholicFaith,therearesomethingsIcannotbelieveordonot understand.

R.:AsyouareapracticalCatholic,regularlyfulfillingyourreligiousduties, youhavenoreasontoimaginethatyoulackfaith inanyoftheofficialteachingsoftheCatholicreligion. Itisamatter,therefore,of thingsthatpuzzleyouand thatyoudonotfullyunderstand.Butthatshouldnot surpriseyouforwhileall Catholicshaveexactlythe samefaithasCatholics, theyvarygreatlyinthedegreeoftheirinstructionin andunderstandingoftheir religion.

Q.:Assailedwithdoubtsas Iam,,anIcontinuereceivingHolyCommunion?

R.:Youarenotreally "assailedwithdoubts."To thinkthatistoconfuse difficultieswithdoubts. Theyarenotthesamething. CardinalNewmanrightly saidthattenthousanddifficultiesdonotmakeone doubt.Thoughyouwould haveathousanddifficulties intryingtounderstandnuclearphysics,youdonot doubttherealityandefficiencyofnuclearpower.It iswelltoremember,also, wheretheCatholicreligion isconcerned,thatother

Butthatdoesnotmeanthat theyhavedoubtsabouttheir religion;andjustasthey continuereceivingtheSacraments,soyouneedhave noanxietyaboutdoingso.

DoesGodTempt Man?

Q.:IbelievethatGodis Wisdom,Truth,Love, BeautyandGoodness.

R:Youarenotmistaken indoingso.

Q.:ButIcannotunderstandwhyIshouldask HimIntheLord'sPrayer nottoleadmeintotemptation.

R.:Whenyousaythe Lord'sPrayeryoudonot askthatinthesenseofthe wordsastheystand.The wordsarealiteraltranslationfromtheGreekofSt. Matthew,6:13.ButOurLord Himselfspokethemin Aramaic,ofwhichtheGreek isitselfatranslation.Sowe

ProtestantChurches

CatholicInquirer,Sydney:What,shortly, arethemaindifferencesbetweenPresbyterians,Methodists,Congregationalists,Baptists,Episcopalians,andtheAnglican Church?

R.:I'mafraidtheanswer tosocomprehensiveaquestionwillhavetobetoobrief tobeofmuchuse.

Episcopalian:

TheEpiscopaliansare simplyAmericanAnglicans whotookthatnamein 1776,whentheAmerican ColoniesdeclaredindependenceofEngland, Anglican:

BOOTANDSHOE REPAIR

TheAnglicanChurchcame intoexistenceasanational ChurchofEnglandin1534 whenHenryVIIIbroke awayfromtheCatholic Church.In1559,Elizabeth I,byan"ActofUniformity,"triedtocompeleveryoneinEnglandtoacceptthe nationalChurch,withthe outwardformofBishops, PriestsandDeaconsforits ministry,togetherwiththe teachingsandpracticesof theProtestantBookof CommonPrayer.

Congregational:

In1581,groupsofPuritanrebelsrefusedtoaccept Elizabeth,herStateChurch, herBishops,Priestsand Deacons,andtheBookof CommonPrayer.Theydeclaredthemselves"Independents,"saidtheybelievedintheBibleonly,and metinsmallassembliesfor prayers,hymnsandBiblereading.Theyheldthat eachlittlecongregationwas self-sufficient,andthatthere wasnoneedforanorganisedChurch.So,later,they becameknownasCongregationalists.

Baptist:

In1616aCongregationalistpreachernamedJohn Smyththoughthehaddiscoveredthatinfantbaptism iswrong,andthatonlyadult believerscanbebaptised. Hethereforefoundedthe BaptistChurchwhich,save forthisonepoint,differs littlefromCongregationalism.

ISTHEREAN AFTER-LIFE?

"Catholic,"Sydney:Peopleoftenask howoneknowsthereisanafter-life.I wishyouwouldsuggestawaytodeal withthem.

R.:Itisnecessarytopointouttothemthat therearethreewaysofknowingthings;byactual personalexperience;orbybeingtoldofthemby otherreliablepersons;orbyreasoningfromwhat weourselvesalreadyknowtotheconvictionthat somethingelsemustbe,asforexamplewhenwe argue:Wherethere'ssmoke,there'sfire.Now wecannotknowofanafter-lifeinthethefirstof thesethreeways.Towantthatwouldbetoseek thekindofproofthatoughtnottobeexpected.

"SeeingIsBelieving"

R.:Theyare''expectingtoomuch.Theyknow ofthispresentlifebybeinginit,andtheonlyway wecouldgivethemthesameawarenessofthe nextlifewouldbebyputtingtheminit;andwe arenotallowedtodothat.
