TheprominentChurchhistorian,toindicatethe importanceheattaches\tothepress,suggestedthattheCatholicPressAssociationsponsorthewriting ofascholarlyhistoryofcontemporaryCatholic publicationssotheircontributionswillnotbelost toposterity.

GOD'SINTERESTINUS

INQUIRER,DUBBOasks:DoyouthinkGodwouldlikeustobeinterestedinHim,andto knowHiswillforeachofus,andtokornmoreofHimandHisdivineways?

Icertainlydo;Butonemustbesurethathis interestisinGodannotinmerelybeingabletotalk aboutGod.

God,ofcourse,mustwantustobe"interestedinHim, andb:4knowHiswillforeachofus,andtolearnmore ofHimandofHisdivineways,"orHewouldnothave sentHisownDivineSon,JesusChrist,Whodeclaredit Hismissionto"preachthekingdomofGod,"andWho founded!HisChurchupontheApostles,commissioning thatChurchinthepersonsoftheApostlestocontinue Hiswork,teachingallnationswhatsoeverHehadmade knowntothem,andpromisingtobewithitalldays eventilltheendoftheworld.

TheCatholicChurch.whichalonehasbeeninthe worldalldayssincethen,isstillcarryingoutthatcommission;andthemoreonelearnsoftheteachingsand preceptsoftheCatholicChurchthemoreheknowsof GodandHisdivineways,andofHiswillforeachofus.

OURINTERESTINGOD

Q.:Therearemanywhofeelarealneedforopen discussion,andenjoytalkingaboutreligionandthe thingsofGod.

R.:Thereisneedforcarehere,lestone'srealinterest isinone'sownenjoymentintalkingaboutreligionand whatoneimaginestobethethingsofGod.Also,the truthrevealedbyGodissomething"given,"andtobe acceptedbyfaith,inGodandintheteachingauthority oftheCatholicChurchheestablishedandcommissioned astheteacherofmankindinHisnamewherereligious

truthisconcerned..Sowemakeouractoffaithinthe ApostlesCreed:"IbelieveintheHolyCatholicChurch."

Thatisasmuchpartofourfaithasanyotherarticle intheApostles'Creed.Aknowledgeofthetruth revealedbyGodisnotarrivedatbyopendiscussion betweenpeoplewhoaregoingtodecideforthemselves whattheywillbelieve-peopleunqualifiedinanycase toarriveatanyworthwhiledecision.

Iamnotsayingthatdiscussioninitselfisnotfruitful wherereligionisconcerned;butthatissafeonlyprovidedweadheretowhatGodteachesusthroughthe CatholicChurchHeestablishedforthatpurpose,seekingagreaterunderstandingofit.Realisingthenecessity ofthis,G.K.ChestertonsaidhebecameaCatholic"becauseIwanted,notaChurchwhichwasrightwhenI wasright,butaChurchwhichwasrightwhenIwas wrong."

Again,Iamnotsayingthatpleasurein"talkingabout religionandthethingsofGod"iswrong.Butalldependshereuponone'smotive.Isone'sinterestreally inreligionandthethingsofGod,oronlyintalking aboutthem.

Therearemanyloquaciouspeoplegiventothelatter whoarenotreallyreligiouspeople,trulyspiritualin theiroutlook,intentbeforeallelseinwagingwaron theirownself-love,andondoingthewillofGodina spiritofgenuinehumilityandobedienceinsteadof goingtheirownway,pretendingtothemselvesthat thatisthewillofGod.Theseareverynecessarycon- siderationswherereligionisconcerned.
