Inthelightofthecurrent controversyoverStatefinancialassistanceforprivate schoolsinAustralia,abrief analysisofthesuccessful arrangementsachievedin EnglandandWalesmaybe ofinteresttoAustralian Catholicswhoaresodeeply concernedinthismatter.

AUTHORITYAND ADMINISTRATION

AUTHORITYinprimary andsecondaryeducationin Englanddiffersfromthatat presentexistinginAustralia inthatitischaracterisedby amixtureofcentralised directiononbroadpolicy mattersbythenational Government,andlocalautonomyinworkingoutthe details.InEnglandand Walesthereare146local educationauthorities,each onehavingbeenformedby aboroughorcountycouncil underthe1944Act. Administrationofthe wholesystemofprimary andsecondaryeducationis dividedbetweenthecentral Government,thelocaleducationauthorityandvarious "voluntary"organisations. Relationsbetweenthese threegroupsarebasedon co-operationandconsultation,bothbydirectcontact betweenthepartiesan:i throughHerMajesty'sinspectors,whoactasliaison officersbetweenlocalauthoritiesandthecentraldepartments.

Themajorityofschools inEngland(about70per cent)arewhatwewould call"State"schools,orpubliclyownedandoperated schools.Thesearecompletelyadministeredbythe localeducationauthorities, withinthebroadratlines laiddownbytheMinistryof Education.

VOLUNTARY SCHOOLS INGENERAL,a-voluntaryschool"inEngland meansaprivateschool,that is,oneestablishedbyaprivateauthority,usuallyone oftheChurches.Thereare over10,000oftheseschools inEngland,themajority, about8,000,beingcontrolled bytheChurchofEngland, andalessernumber,about 1,900,bytheCatholic Church.Thereareabout 900,000pupilsintheAnglicanschoolsandabout 550,000inCatholicschools. Thusthereisamajor differencebetweenEngland andAustraliainsofarasin Australiathevastmajority ofprivateschoolsareCatholicschools.

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS FUNDSforexpenditure oneducationinEngland comefromtwosources. About60percentof'the totalexpenditureisdefrayed bythecentralTreasury. Thisispaidtothelocal educationauthorities,and insomecasesdirecttothe schools.Theremainderis paidbytheboroughor countycounciloutoflocal rates. PrivateschoolsinEngland aregivenfinancialassistance bythelocaleducationauthority,andinsomecases bytheMinistry,theextent ofcontrolexertedbythe publicbodybeinginproportiontothefinancialsub-

sidyaccepted,andtothe conditionsunderwhichitis given.

Thusthecardinalprinciplewithregardtoprivate schoolsinEnglandisthat theirextentofindependence ofpublicadministrative bodiesisinverselypropor-. tionaltothefinancialassistanceacceptedbytheprivate school.Thelessassistancea privateschoolaccept,,the greaterisitsautonomyin thematterofstaff,policy, inspection,andsoon.

Forpurposesofconvenience,theprivateschoolsin Englandmaybedividedinto threecategories: IndependentSchools, DirectGrantSchools, VoluntaryAidedSchools.

INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS

MOSTofthewell-known "GreatPublicSchools"df England,suchasEton,Harrow,Winchester,andsoon, arecompletelyindependent, acceptingnopublicmoney andnotbeingunderpublic controlexceptforoccasional inspectionsfromtheMinistry-Whichtheyundergo voluntarilyasaself-check ontheireducationalstandards.SomelargeCatholic schoolslikeAmpleforth, StoneyhurstandPriorPark areinthiscategory. Theadaptationofsucha systemtoAustraliawould completelysafeguardthose privateschoolswhichvalue highlytheirindependent statusandareunderstandablyapprehensiveofthe GovernmentDepartmental controlwhichtheacceptance of"StateAid"mightbring initswake.

DIRECTGRANT SCHOOLS

THESE"GrammarSchools" whichcorrespondfairly closelytotheAustralian ideaofaCatholicCollegeor ConventforSecondaryeducation,areindependentof thelocaleducationauthority asfarasadministrationand staffingareconcerned.All theChristianBrothers'SecondarySchoolsinEngland, withtheexceptionofPrior Park,AltrinchamandSunderland,comeintothiscategory.

Itresults,asarule,from theecumenicalsummons andtheecumenicalassembly;anditisabsolutely essential.Incaseofnecessity,itmayactasasubstituteforthetwoothers,but nothingeverreplaceit.The firstandsecondCouncilsof Constantinople(381and 553)wereneitherofthem ecumenicalintheirsummonsortheiractualsitting, sincetheEasternsonlywere invitedandwere'present; buttheybecameecumenical throughratificationbythe Popeandtheresultingacceptancebythewhole Church.

ACouncilonlypossesses ecumenicalauthorityifitis theafithorisedorganofthe wholeChurch.ThisitcannotbeapartfromtheparticipationofthePope,for withouthimtheassembled teachingbodywouldlack itsvisibleheadandorganic centreofunity.Thatisthe reasonwhythedefinitionof thepapa]primacybythe VaticanCouncilhasnotin anywayalteredtheauthorityoftheCouncils.There hasneverbeenajuridically ecumenicalCouncilwithout thePope,thoughhiscollaborationhastakenvarious forms.

IntheChurchofthefirst milleniumitwasauniversallyacceptedprinciplethat nodecisioninmattersof faithcouldbefinaland bindingonallwithoutthe consentoftheBishopof Rome.

Thedecisiveauthorityof Councilsrestsontheinfallibilityoftheirdecisions.The theologicalbasisofthisis thattheepiscopalbodyin unionwiththePopeisthe successoroftheApostolic College.Admittedly,the bishopscannotintroduce newrevealedtruths,asthe Apostlesdid,buttheypos-

OF

sess,asabody,theinfallibilityChristpromisedHis Church.Whenassembled inCouncilinaccordwith theirvisiblehead,theyare keptfromerrorbytheassistanceoftheHolySpirit.

Thebishopsassuccessors oftheApostlesexercise theirteachingfunctionin themostsolemnmanner whenassembledataCouncil,andallbelieversare boundtoaccepttheirdecisionsinmattersoffaith.

Forthatreason,theearly Churchheldtheconviction thatEcumenicalCouncils wereinfallible.

TheconvictionoftheinfallibilityofCouncilswas universaltilltheReformation,andhardlyquestioned evenatthetimeofthe mediaevalconciliarmovement.

TheAssistanceof TheHolySpirit

ONEofthemost currentobjectionstotheinfallibilityofCouncilsis expressedinthesayingthatCouncils cannotplacethe HolyGhost"attheir disposal."

Thispopularobjection wouldhavebeenimpossible inthetimeoftheancient Church;ithasitsoriginin anecclesiologyquiteother thanthatoftheprimitive Church,andbearstoothe imprintofrationalism.

Whatismeantbytheexpression?"HavingGodat one'sdisposal"isfoundonly inmagicalpracticesandin degenerateformsofreligion. Theideaiswhollyaliento theChristianrevelation.In theCounciloftheApostles (Acts15:1-25),thereisno questionoftheir"having theHolyGhostattheirdisposal;"yettheydobegin theirresolutionswiththe words:"Ithasseemedgood totheHolyGhostandto us."TheApostlesreceived therevelationsoftheHoly Ghost,butdidnothaveHim attheirbeckandcall.The bishopsassembledinCouncilreceive,aswehavesaid, norevelation,theyare simplypreservedfromerror intheirdoctrinaldecisions bytheHolyGhost.

Ifwemustspeakof"disposing,"itisratherthe bishopswhoareatthedisposaloftheHolyGhost.Yet thatwouldbeinexact,for theactionofthebishops requires,asarule,aconsiderableeffortoftheirown intellects,enlightenedby faith.Theyhavetostudy thequestions,searchinto ScriptureandtheApostolic Tradition,abidebyrevelatonasconveyedintheOld andNewTestamentsand thedoctrinaltradition,and thenformtheirjudgment accordingtoconscienceand inthepresenceofChrist, theirsupremeLord.

TheChristianpeoplehave alwaystrustedintheassistanceoftheHolyGhostat GeneralCouncils.Theyhave keptthatconfidencebecause theyhavelearnedtodistinguishhumanstrivingand humanweaknessfromthe workingofGod,whichis themoremarkedthemore itiscounteredbyhuman blindnessandinfirmity.

InGod'shands,thetool's defectsdonotpreventasuccessfuloutcome,butmake itallthemorewonderful, andpointallthemore clearlytotherealcause. Theinfallibleteachingoffice

isentrustedtohumanweakness;andallcanseethatit isnothumanwisdomand theologicallearning,noryet highsanctityandafaith thatcanmovemountains, buttheassistanceofthe HolySpiritthatguarantees theinfallibilityoftheCouncils,preservingitsmembers fromerror.

Itwould,therefore,be bothunrealisticandunChristiantoarguefromthe shortcomingsofthememberstothefalsityoftheir teaching.Itisnomatterfor surprisethattheparticipantsinaCouncilshouldbe foundtosharetheweaknessesoftheircontemporaries.Yettheunbiased historianmustadmitthat themembersofCouncils comeoutwellfromsucha comparison,and,infact, riseconsistentlyabovethe prejudicesandpassionsof theirtime.

IntheChurch,sowidely spreadovertheworld,justiceandtruthnaturallyencounterobstacles,andthese maybefoundtoowithin Councilsthemselves.Butit remainstruethat,bothin theChurchatlargeandin Councilstheredemptive workofChrist,throughthe activityoftheSpirit,continuestopreserverevealed truthandtokeepthe Church'sofficialanduniversalteachingfromerror.

Thebishopsgatheredina CouncilarefarfromimaginingtheyhavetheHoly Spiritattheirdisposition. Onthecontrary,theyare wellawarethattheirown, ability,theirtheological learningandsubtlety,are inadequatetothemagnitude oftheworkathand.For thatreason,theCouncil openswithprayertothe Spirit;infact,itssessionisnotonlyanactof jurisdiction,oroftheteachingandpastoraloffice,buta liturgicalcelebration.The liturgicalpartisnotjustan appendageoradecorative feature,butbelongstothe essenceoftheCouncil, which,infulfillingitsfunction,performsanactof divineworship.

JEHOVAHWITNESS:"LIGHTANDFREEDOM"

CatholicsacceptOur Lord'steaching:"Fearye himwhobathpowertocast intohell.Yea,Isaytoyou, fearhim"(Lk.12:5).But theyacceptalsotheteaching ofScripturethat"thefear oftheLordisthebeginning ofwisdom,"andthat"perfectlovecastethoutfear." Theytrytoloveandserve Godsincerely,fulfilling theirreligiousdutiesand receivingthesacraments, andknowthattheyhaveno reasontomistrustordespair ofGod'smercy.Andtheygo aboutlifequitenormally andcheerfully.
