IRELANDWARNED AGAINSTCOMMUNIST

INFILTRATION

Irelandhasbeenstartled byadelegate'sstatements attheGovernmentparty's annualcongressthatthree Communistcentresare operatinginDublin.Ireland ispredominantlyCatholic-totheextentofabout92 percentintheRepublicandCommunismhasnot foundanyfootinghere,and isnotfindingitnow.

Butthedelegatetothe Governmentparty'sconvention,Mr.C.Leonard,has saidthethreeCommunist centreshavebeenreceiving subscriptionsfromanumberofpartsofthecountry andthatalong-termpolicy basedonthereportofan "Irishdelegate"toMoscow aimsatinfiltrationthrough youthanduniversityclubs andtradeunions.

Thewords"Communist" and"Marx"werenottobe used,saidMr.Leonard,and theinfiltratorswerenotto beanti-Catholic"butcould beanti-clerical."

Thebasisofthepolicy,he added,wasthatnoimpact couldbemadeontheadult populationofIreland,and thatthereforetheyouth groupsweretobethemain pointofattack.

Irelandmayhavebeen startledbyMr.Leonard's statements-forobviousreasonshehasdeclinedtogive thesourceofhisinformation -butthegeneralpublicis notseriouslyconcernedthat aCommunistcampaign wouldhaveanysuccess.

Mr.Leonard,however, saidthattoofewmembers oftradeunionsattending themeetingsdoes,infact,

leaveasituationwherea fewactiveCommunists couldgaincontrol."Complacencyandapathy,"he says,"arethegreatest dangers."

Itistruethatbranchesof tradeunionsareusuallyrun byafewinterestedpeople, andthatthevastmajority ofthemembersdoleavethe businesstothesetrusted few.Ontheotherhand,the otherswouldveryquickly cometolifeatanysuggestionthatthe"few"had ulteriormotives.

AschairmanofaDublin branchoftheNational UnionofJournalists,Ihave someexperienceofthis;'the workofthebranchisleft toabouthalfadozenpeople, whocometomeetingsregularly,andonlywhensome bigissueisatstake,affectingtheothermernbers directly,istherea"full house."

Butamongthesixorthe "fullhouse,"Ihavenever seenanythingremotelyresemblingaCommunist.It isdoubtfulif,inappoulationofoverfourmillions forthewholeisland,there aremorethanahundred avowedordisguisedCommunists.

R.:Theyofficiallydescribe themselvesas''aBodyof Christiansassumingthat nameonly."Itistrulyan "assumption,"andaquite unjustifiedone.Morepopularlytheyareknownasthe "Cooneyites,"afteroneof theirfounders.Edward Cooney.

Q.:WhenIaskedthereason fortheirclaim,theysaid itwasbecausetheygoout rivobytwo,preachingthe gospel,takingnothing withthembutsupported bypeopletheycalledupon.accordingtoChrist's command.

ECCENTRICSECT

Q.:Theyhavenochurch buildingsbutmeetattheir homes,"accordingtothe Bible,"theysay.They seemtoholdProtestant serviceswithprayers, singingofhymnsand "breakingofbread,"anyonefeelinginspiredtosay somethingdoingso.As theydonotstudy,and readnootherbooksexcept theBible,itseemstome thattheydoalotofguesswork.Forexample,since Christsaidnothingabout buildinghospitals"having hospitals"issomething theyholdagainstboth CatholicsandProtestants.

R.:Thataboutsumsup theirposition.Theyprovide onemoreexampleofthe tragicresultsofthemisuse oftheBible,privatelyiinterpretedbyincompetentreadersofitindependentlyof anyauthoritativeguidance.

Q.:Theyseemparticularly opposedtotheCatholl, Church.

Fi.:Ofcourse.

a"splinter-sect"fromwhich theywouldcertainlydissociatethemselves.Afterall, the"Cooneyites"denounce allProtestantChurchesas wellastheCatholicChurch justasthe"Witnessesof Jehovah"do.

DIVORCEAND REMARRIAGE

"Anglican,"Sydney: Q.:canunderstandthatthe Churchmustrefusetoremarrydivorcedpeople duringthelifetimeofthe formerpartner. R.:Grantedavalidmarriagebetweentwobaptised Christiansinthefirstplace, therecanbenoexceptionto thatruleasfarastheCatholicChurchisconcerned.A furthervalidmarriageficim theChristianandreligious pointofviewissimplynot possiblewhilebothparties stilllive.

ThePhariseeshadputthe question:Isitlawfulfora mantoputawayhiswife?

Phone: 283741

R.:Itiscustomarywith themtoevadeallinquiries concerningtheirhistory. However,hereisasummary ofit.In1897,aPresbyterian evangelistnamedWilliam IrvinewentfromScotlandto Irelandtoconductnondenominationalrevivalmeetings,promising-likeBilly Grahaminourowndays-to sendconvertsbacktotheir owndifferentChurches.At Nenagh,Tipperary,heconvertedamannamedEdward Cooney;andheandCooney betweenthemdecidedtoset upamovementoftheirown. TheywenttoNorthernIrelandand,financedbya wealthyProtestantfarmer namedJohnWest,preached whattheycalled"TheTestimonyofJesus,"goingfrom

WilliamIrvine,whobecame mentallyunbalanced,died inPalestinein1947,having gonetoJerusalemtoawait theSecondComingofChrist whichhebelievedtobeat hand.Iheardrecentlythat EdwardCooney,nowavery oldman,islivingsomewherehereinAustralia.

Q.:Aretheyworld-wide, andofanyimportanceat all?

R.:Theyarecertainlynot ofanynumericalimportance.Iknowthatthereare smallgroupsofthemin England,America.Australia andNewZealand.Ihavenot heardoftheirexistencein anyothercountries,and doubtwhethertheystill surviveinNorthernIreland. Inourpartoftheworldthey areorganisedas"TheUnited ChristianConventionsof AustralasiaandNewZealand."

GodDrawsGood FromEvil

J.R.,BURWOOD:I oftenwonderwhetherGodpermitson evilactionbyman inorderthatgood mayresult.

R.:Yourightlyusethe v,ord"permits,"forwhere morallyevilorsinfulactions areconcerned,sinceGod positivelyforbidsthem,He cannotpositivelywillthem. Grantedthatmanisendowedwithfreewill,however,carryingwithitthe obligationofresponsible choice,Goddoesnotphysicallycompelhimtorefrain frommorallyevilconduct eventhoughHeforbidssuch conduct.Thepermissionof anyguiltymisuseoffree willisreallyaconsequence ofGod'shavingalready willedthatmanshouldhave thesupremedignityofbeinganintelligentandresponsibleperson.Atthe sametime,ifamansins, Godknowshowtodraw goodoutofevilonceithas happened,althoughHedid notordainthattheman shouldsininorderthat suchagoodmightresult.

INSPITEOFEVILMEN

Q.:ThereIsthefactofthe CrucifixionofChrist,and thecaseofSaulwhose journeywithevilintentionslaDamascusInorder topersecutetheChristians thereledtohisconversion andtohisbecomingSt.

Paul.

R.:InGod'soverrulingprovidence,men'sevilactions mayultimatelyprovetobe theoccasionsofsomegood theythemselvesdidnotfor amomentintend.Thatinno wayexcusestheguiltof theiractions,nordoesit leaveanyroomforthefalse ideathattheendjustifies theuseofmorallyevil means.Iteverremainstrue thatwemaynotdoevilthat goodmaycome;and,inany case,intheinstancesyou havementioned,anygood thatresultedcameabout thoughGod'sspecialprovidence,notbecauseofmen's evildispositionsbutinspite ofthem.

SINANDCONVERSION

Q.:Theremustbecountless caseswhereaman's

wickednesshasbeenthe causeofhiscomingto Christ.

R.:Superficiallythatmay seemtobeso,butnotwhen onethinksintothesubject moredeeply.Sincewickednessofitselfalienatesa manfromGod,itcannotof itselfbringamantoGod. Indirectly,however,consciousnessofpastsinscan undermineallthereasonsa manthoughthehadfor pride,sothatatlastheis willingtoaskhumblyfor God'smercyandforgiveness, andforthegraceofChrist whichistherealcauseof hisreconciliationwithGod.

MAN'SOWNCHOICE

Q.:Itisstrange,however, thatthisisnotinvariable.

R.:Grantedmanfreewill, itwouldbestrangeif people'sreactionstoselfknowledgeandthegraceof Godwereinvariable.The warningofScripture: "Hardennotyourhearts," showsthatitispossiblefor amantodevelopawillset forresistancetoallmotives andinfluenceswhichcould leadtorepentance.How manymen,orwomenfor thatmatter,whohaveled evillivesdierepentantor diedeterminednottorepent isGod'ssecret,Wehaveno absolutemeansofknowing, althoughjudgingbyappearanceswehavegoodgrounds forhopeinsomecases,but notinothers.Whatwedo notknowisthatitispossibleforman,righttothe veryendofhisstateofprobationinthislife,tosayyes ornotoGod;andthechoice restswithhimselfasto whichitwillbe

"PERMISSIBLEBUTNOT IDEAL!"

Q.:Isnotthereasonforsuch refusalhowever,tobe foundinthethatsuchremarriages,whilenotinvalidandadulterous,areon alowerplanethanthat oftheidealChristrecommendedandsogivebad exampletoone'sfellow Christiansandweakenthe witnessoftheChurchto Christianidealsinaseriousmatter?

R.:TheAnglicanBishop Kirk,ofOxford,inhisbook "MarriageandDivorce" 19481says,onp.54,that somehavesuggestedthat ourLord'sprohibitionofdivorceandremarriage"is merelya'counselofperfection'foraspiritualelite,and nota'precept'forallmen." Declaringthisinterpretation impossible,hewrites,p.70, that"thereisnoNewTestamentbasiswhateverfor thesuggestionthatOurLord sanctionedremarriageduringthelifetimeofthefirst partnereveninthecaseof an'innocent'personwhohas securedadivore."Onpp. 45-6,heexplainsthatthe authenticteachingofChrist isfoundinMark10:2-12.

Jesusansweredwithanother question:WhatdidMoses commandyou?Theyquoted apermissiongrantedby MosesthusevadingOur Lord'squestionwhichconcerned,nota"permission," buta"command."HepointedoutthattheMosaicregulationwasonlya"permission,"tolerated"becauseof thehardnessofmen's hearts,"andthattheoriginaldivinecommandpositivelyexcludeddivorceand remarriage.Andheemphaticallyrestoredthisoriginal command,saying:"What therefore,Godhathjoined, letnotmanputasunder." InHisfinalwordsHecrystalisedthewholematter: "Whosoevershallputawy hiswifeandmarryanother, committethadultery andifawifeshallputaway herhusbandandbemarried toanother,shecommitteth adultery."

ANGLICANPRACTICE.

Q.:TheChurchofEngland, byrefusingtoremarrydivorcedpeopleinthe ChurchfollowsRoman Catholicpractice,butby recognisingtheirmarriage-shouldtheyremarryelsewhere-asvalid andnotadulterous,even thoughlessperfect,itfollowsGreekOrthodoxpractice.

R.:TothatBishopKirk replies:"Itisuniversally agreed,evenbytheirown Canonists,thattheEastern Churcheshavecapitulated toofarinthismatterof divorcewithremarriage" p.44.).Andhedeclares Anglicantendenciestowards similarlaxitytobequite opposedtoNewTestament teaching.Theparticularaspectofthatteachingto whichyounowproceedto appealIwilldiscussnext time.
