"Puzzled,'NorthSydney.

WouldyousaythatChristianitywas understoodinitsfulnessonlybya few?

Theanswerdependsuponwhatyou meanbythephrase"initsfulness.' Ifyoumeanacomplete,comprehensiveandadequateknowledgeofthe truthsofChristianity,theansweris thatnohumanandnocreatedbeing canunderstandChristianityinallits fulness.Christianityisarevealedreligion:areligionmadeknowntoman byGodHimself.Partofthatrevelationembracestruths,thecompleteunderstandingofwhichisbeyondthe reachofanycreatedintellect.Itisin thissensethatwespeakoftheMysteriesoftheBlessedTrinity,theIncarnation,ofGrace,andsoforth.By "mystery"ismeantatruthwhichis beyondourreach,whetherastoits existence,oritsfullmeaningorboth.

WHATISCATHOLICACTION?

InCatholicActiononehearsmuchof anApostoliclifeintheworld.

Correct.CatholicActionwasdefinedbyPopePiusXI,as''TheparticipationofthelaityintheApostolateof theHierarchy,"or,moreexplicitlyas "TheparticipationoflayCatholicsin theApostolateoftheHierarchyfor thedefenceofreligiousandmoral principles,forthedevelopmentofa soundandbeneficientsocialaction,undertheguidanceoftheecclesiastical Hierarchy,outsideofandaboveall politicalparties,withtheaimofrestoringCatholiclifeinthefamilyand insociety."LetterofPopePiusXI. tothePresidentoftheInternational UnionofCatholicWomen'sLeagues, July30,1928).

ParticipationintheApostolateofthe Hierarchymeans,inthewordsofthe samePope:"Toparticipateinthat originalapostolatewhichcameforth immediatelyfromtheHeart,Lifeand HandsofOurBlessedLord,andwhich isperpetuatedinallgenerationsinthe world-wideextensionandage-longcontinuationoftheApostolicCollege,the Episcopate."(AddresstoCatholicAssociationsofRome,April19,1931).

* * * *

THEAPOSTOLICDUTYOFTHE LAITY.

Isnotthatthebestwaytoreconcile God'steachingtotheworldabout you?

Yes,butsomeexplanationisnecessary. ThedutyofteachingtheGospelof Christbelongsprimarily,byDivinevocation,totheBishopsoftheChurch, andtothepriestswhoassistthem.But itisadutywhichisbindingonall Catholics;forthelaityarealsoin dutyboundtoco-operateintheirown sphereandtothemeasureoftheir capacitywiththeHierarchyinstituted byChrist.

ByBaptismwearebornbyanew, supernaturalbirthintotheRoyal FamilyofGod:webecomethebrothersofChrist;co-heirswithHimto theKingdomofHisFather.Weare incorporatedintowhatSt.Paulcalls the"MysticalBodyofChrist";webecomemembersofabodyofwhich ChrististheHead.Asmembersofthe MysticalBodyofChristwearebound upinunityofinterestsandpurpose withChristourHead.Thefirstduty ofeveryCatholicis"toputonthe LordJesusChrist,"toreproduceinhis orherownlifesomethingofthevirtue andholinessofChristHimself.Ina word,thefirstdutyofeveryCatholic ispersonalholinessoflife. ButmembershipofChrist'sMystical Bodyinvolvesalsofundamentalduties toone'sfellowmen.Itisthewillof OurDivineLordthatallmenshould besaved.liediedtosaveall.HisGospelisforall.Hewantsall.HefoundedHisChurchforall.TheDivine commandtopreachtheGospeltoevery creaturebindsto-dayasitboundtwo thousandyearsago.ThefullimplicationsofCatholicFaithmustbefaced.

victualfurhissalvation,butmeantfor alltheworldaswell.

Therefore,thedutyofco-operating withChristOurLordinthesalvatiOn oftheworldbindsnotonlyonthe Bishopsandpriests,butalsoonthe laity,intheirownsphere.Andwhen thelaity,unitedwiththeirBishops andpriests,thustakepartintheworks ofapostolateandofindividualandsocialredemption,then,morethanever aretheythe"chosengeneration,the kinglypriesthood,theholynation,the purchasedpeople"ofwhichSt.Peter speaks(I.Pet.,VIII.,3).

GENUINECHRISTIANITY. Christianity,tobereal,mustbeApostolic,andshouldnotbeconfinedto priests.

Correct.Catholicitytoberealmust beapostolic,notonlyinthesensethat itdatesinunbrokenjuridicalandhistoricalsuccessionfromthetimeofthe Apostles,butalsointhesensethatit ismissionaryandmilitant.

FartoomanyCatholicshavebeeninfectedbythegodlessphilosophyof Liberalismand,inconsequence,are completelyobliviousofthesocialand publicaspectsandobligationsoftheir Faith.Theytendtokeepitstrictlyto themselves,undercover,anddonotallowittoexerciseanyinfluenceoutside theirinnerthoughts.

ButthatisnotCatholicismasitisin reality.Itisatruncatedanddiminishedthing,watereddownwithlarge dosesofworldlinessandparalysedby asortofapatheticinertia.

Heasked:Whatistheuseofgoing toHeavenifitisgoingtopassaway liketheearth?"

Hisquestionwasbasedonacompletemisunderstandingoftheword "heaven"ashereusedbyChrislOur Lord.Inthiscontextitdoesnotmean theplaceorstateoftheblesseilwhich, asOurLordHimselfassuresus,is everlasting(Matt.xxv.,46),batthe sky,theplanet;,thestars-heaveain theastronomicalsense.Thephrase "heavenandearth"asusedinthe Scripture,meansthewholevisibleuniverse,orthetotalityofthingscreated. Therefore,sincetheword"heaven" herereferstothevisibleuniverseand nottotheheavenoftheblessed,his questionismeaningless.

Marriage-totheCatholic

WEMAYbeginbyasking,whatis marriage?Whydopeople marry?Whatshouldayoung manorayoungwomanexpect,asthey thinkofthefutureandplantheirown marriage?Andwefindvariousanswerscomingreadilytoourminds,said Rev.FatherEricD.Mackenzie,ofSt. John'sSeminary,Brighton,U.S.A.,in thecourseofarecenttalkon"PreparationforMarriage."

Isupposethefirstanswerwhichwill begivenisthatyoungmenandyoung womenentermarriagebecauseit meansloveandromance.Fromadolescenceon,ouryouthistaughttoexpectandlookforthisrapturousemotionalexperience.Everynoveland play,thestoriestoldinmagazinesand movies,theradioskits,andeventhe pontificallyseriousdiscussionsoflesserthinkers-allthesehavesetforth theviewthatforeveryboyandevery girlthereshouldcomeagreatromance,whichwillbethesupremejoy oftheirlives,whichwillleadinevitably, despitetrialsandobstacles,toablissfulmarriage;andafterthat,inthe clicheendingofallfairystories,they marryandlivehappilyeverafterwards. Nowallthiscouldbe,andsometimes is,veryinnocentandnaivelybeautiful. But,unfortunately,thisviewoflove andromanceisoftenexaggerated.The impressioniscreated(andoftenexpresslystatedanddefended)thatloye andromancehaveasupremevalue thattranscendsalllawsandduties. Love,wearetold,knowsnolaws:in lovetherecanbenosin.Andsothis romanticismisinvokedtojustifypure physicalpassion,andallsortsofimmoralities,bothbeforeandaftermarriage;itisinvokedtojustifydivorce andmultiplemarriages;itisinvoked tobreakdownmoraldutyandthelaw ofreasonandeventhelawofGod.

TheCatholicPhilosophyofLife.

NowtheCatholicphilospohyoflife istoorealisticandtoointelligenttobe movedbymerefairytalesandimaginaryromances.TheChurchbelievesin love.ChristHimselfsaidthatallthe lawsandtheprophetsareembracedin theonecommandoflove-loveGod andloveneighbour.StPaul,discussing marriage,commandshusbandstolove andcherishtheirwives,andwivesto lovetheirhusbandsButlove-the realloveofadultandmaturepersonsismuchmorethantheshallowromance ofmereemotion.Emotion,ofitsvery nature,isephemeralandpassing.Passionsoontiresandissated.Theseare sandstooshiftingtobethebasisofa homethatistolastthroughtheyears ofmaturityandoldage.Andsoinactualfact,theceremonyofmarriage doesnotautomaticallybeginanunchangingperiodoflivinghappilyever after"Marriageisonlyabeginningof newdays,newyears,newproblems andtrials,newadjustmentsanddevelopments.Emotionalismordinarilyhas tooshallowrootstosupporttheheatof noondayrealities:henceourmodern divorcesandscandals.Trueandmaturelovecansurvive,anddoessurvive,eventheharshestslingsandarrowsofoutrageousfortune.TheCatholic,therefore,woulddiscardemotion, butonlytoreplaceitbysomething higherandstrongerandbetter-alove thatismature,devoted,self-sacrificing: alovethatspringsevenmorefromthe soulthanfromthebody. Thereare,howeversomewhoare toocynicaltoheedthemodernfad forromanticlove-These,inpart,subscribetotheviewthatmarriageshould bemerelyameansofself-advancement.Awell-knownBostonprofessor achievedsomelittlefamebycrystalisingawholephilosophyinthebrief counsel;"marrytheboss'sdaughter," Andweallknowthecalculatedmarriage.Themanseeksawomanwith wealth,withtheprestigeofsocial position,withanentreetocirclesthat themanwouldenter-Thegirlsimilir. lylooksforamanwithassuredincome,withaprofessionalstatus,who cangiveherahouseandclothesand luxuriesthroughtheyears.Marriage forthesepeople,issimplymakinga goodcatch;andtheavowedpurpose issimplytheselfishdeterminationto getasmuchaspossibleofwhateverthe otherpartnerhasofpower,wealth, positionorfame.

Calculating];elfishness.

Needlesstosay,theCatholicChurch doesnotandcannotapproveofa marriagewhichisbasedonacalculatingselfishness.Onceagain,lifeafter marriagequicklybringsitsproblems ofeverysort;andthespousewhohas

securedwealthorpositionorpowerby marriage,findsthatheorshemust;ow paythepriceinvolved.Andherethe calculatingselfishnessthatinspiredthe marriage,inspiresnowawishtorevolt againstpayingtheprice.Withwealth safelyinhand,thespousewouldseek selfishlytoenjoyit,withoutheeding thedutiesandresponsibilitiesofthe marriagetie.Frictiondevelops,and resentmentandhatred. Andagain thereisabrokenhomeandanewscandalousdivorce.

Somewhatsimilarisathirdgroup. Theselookuponmarriageasanescape.Themanorwomanwantstoget awayfromparentsandrelatives,to moveoutintoanewanddifferentsocialcircle;ortheymaywishtoescape poverty,orthefancieddisgraceofbeinganoldmaid.Inallthesecases, marriageisseensimplyasanescape. Oncemarried,theseperilsareended. Butalas-lifeaftermarriagemuststill belivedyearbyyear;andthosewho soughtescapefromonesetofdifficulties,findmerelythatotherdifficulties taketheirplace.Thewishtoescape hasnowsimplyanewdirection.The newwishistoescapethedifficultiesof marriedlife;andonceagain,divorce andbrokenhomesresult.

Last,butnotleast,wemustmentionthegroupwhorushintomarriage withoutanyobservablerhymeorreason.Onthespurofthemoment,upon acasualsuggestion,orwhileunderthe influenceofdrinkorpassion,amarriageishurriedlyperformed,anda newhomeisbegunwithoutpreparationorforethought.Andhere,above allelse,wefindthesourceofunhappinessanddivorceandpublicscandal.

Ihavecitedthesecommonviews simplybecausetheyarecommon.You know,andIknow,howmanymarriagestakeplacebecauseofthesemotives:andweknowhowunsuccessful thesemarriagesare.Andtheystandin startlingcontrastwiththeCatholic andChristianideaofmarriage.For whatismarriage,inasoundandprudentview?

Marriageisasoberandsolemnengagementandcontract,betweenaman endwoman,togivethemselves,forall theirlives,tofoundandmaintaina hcme,tobegetandrearchildren,and sotopassontoanewgenerationthe giftoflifeandtheaccumulatedblessingsofcivilisationanddecentliving.

Marriagebeginswithabriefand simpleceremony-afewwordsquickly spoken;butthisisonlythebeginning. Therealityofmarriageisthelong slowprocessoflivingthroughhours, days,weeks,months,years,untildeath dothempart.Thegirlwhothinksonly ofthewedding:ercmony-thebridesmaid'scostumeandthereceptionthat follows;themanwhothinksonlyof winningthebrideorherdee..,orhis socialprestige-thesearemerelythose ofwhomithasbeensaid"Noneareso hl'ndasthosewhowillnutsee.-

Asafirstpoint,therefore,theCatholicChurchinsiststhatmarriagemust beapproachedwithseriousdeliberation.Eachyoungmanandeachyoung womanmustaskandanswerthequestion:CanIfaceandmeettherealities oflifeforallthedaysofmylife?Can Ibehusbandorwife,canIbefatheror mother,successfullythroughyearsand yearsandstillmoreyears?Thisisessentiallyaverypracticalquestion,callingforanhonestandtruthfuljudgmentoffacts.Onemaycite,tostart with,thequestionofhealth.Hasthe manorthewomanthephysiqueand thehealthandthefreedomfromdiseasethatwillenablethemtoliveproperlyashusbandandwife?Then thereisthequestionoffinance.Man doesnotlivebybreadalone,-butour dailybreadisadailynecessity,and prudenceandcommonsenserequire thatprovisionmustbemadeforessentialsoffood,shelter,clothing,andespeciallyforafuturefamilyofchildren. Idonotmeantoimplythatstandardsshouldbesettoohighandthatthe worldly-wisearejustifiedinlooking uponmarriageaspurelyamatterof economics.Butprospectivehusbands andwivesmustinconscienceconsider

After"

thispracticalmatterofsupportfor themselvesandtheirchildren,andmp.it makeadequatepreparationsinsome reasonabledegree.Then,onasomewhathigherplane,comesthequestion ofcompatibility.Loveisproverbially blindandemotionsmaybestrongly stirredbetweenmenandwomenwho lackanymutualbasisoflifeinmattersoftask,culture,education,associations,andfamilybackground.It isaseriousquestion,tobeanswered withallcareandprudence,whether .wopersonssoill-assorted,canand willadjustthemselvestocommonlife throughthelongyearsoflifetogether.

PressingQuestions.

Onecanmultiplythesequestionsindefinitely,withvariousindividualmodificationsinspecialcases.Myonly purposeistoinsist,inthenameof commonprudence,andtheage-longexperienceofhistory,thattheyarequestionswhicharerealandpressingand necessarilytobeanswered.Andthe CatholicChurch,guardianofmorality, insiststhateverymanandwomanis boundinconsciencetouseintelligence andexperienceandforesighttodeterminewhattheanswershouldbe.Rashnessandimprudenceisnotmerelya blunder;itisasin.Itisafailureto approachmarriagewithouttheserious purpose,withoutthediligentpreparation,withouttheintelligentunderstandingwhichsogreataSacrament demands.

Butthereremainsstillafurtherquestion:Dothemanandwomantruly loveeachother?.Andherelovedoes notmeanthemereemotionthatisportrayedinnovelsandplays.Loveesserttiallyisunselfishdevotion.Itmeans areadinesstogiveallthatoneisand allthatonehasforthewell-beingof another.Themotherwholovesher child,forgetsherself,andthinksfirst andalwaysofwhatshecandoforthe child.Ahusbandwholoveshiswife willneverreckonthecost,butwillgive herallthathehaswithoutreservation orregret.Andawifesimilarlydoesnot trulylovedherhusbandunlessshetoo issimilarlydevotedtohishappiness andwelfare. ofthissortismore thanmerefeelingoremotion.Itisa wayoflifethatmuststandthetestof realities,notoncebutcontinuouslyas longasthemarriageendures.Itisa steadypurpose,aningrainedcharacter. anabidingdispositionwhichwilloutlivesicknessandhealth,povertyand wealth,successandfailure,disgrace andfame,andanyoftheotherfortunesandmisfortunesthatlifemay bring.

AndhereIcometotheessentially Christianideaofmarriage.Theworld ofourdayhaslostthepracticeofseeingGodinthedetailsofdailyliving, and,particularly,ithaslosttheidea thatGodhasaplaceinmarriage.Yet thatisessentiallytheChristianideaof marriage-morethanacontractbetweenamanandawoman.Itismore thananagreement,plannedoutwith humanprudenceandthereafterlived andfulfilledbyvirtueofthehuman strengthofthecontractingparties. MarriageisaSacrement;whichisto saythat,byinstitutionandwillof Christ,thespousesmaketheirvowsin thepresenceofGodHimself;andGod onthisoccasiongivestothemHis graceandassistance,bothtoblessthe beginningoftheirunion,andlikefiXte tofortifyandstrengthenthemforall thedifficultdaysthatmayfollowTheChristianknowsmarriagetobe aunionthatisunbreakableuntildeath.

SeventyyoungwomenfromNew SouthWalesandQueensland,from Goulbourn,Albury,Oberon,Gunnedah, Gulargemione,Taree,Grafton,Sydney, Brisbane,Gympie,Toowoomba,Warwick,andStanthorpe,attendedthe SummerSchoolandspenttheweekin theatmosphereofthenewworld.

GreeceandIrelandreachedahigh standardofcivilisationbeforethecentralandwest-Europeannationsawakenedtoculturalandpoliticallife.

WhileGreeceisthemotherlandofthe ancientcultureofMediterraneanEurope,Irelandisthemotherlandofthe medievalcultureofChristianwestern Europe.

Bothhighnationalcultureswere crushedbyinvaders,and,formany centuries,forcedintoforeignimperialisticsystems.Theyregainedvarying measuresofculturalandpoliticalfreedomonlyinthelasthundredyears, and,incidentally,between1916and 1922wasthelasttimebothcountries wereatwarwiththeoppressor.

Theyarenow-astheGermanscript isdyingout-theonlyEuropeancountriesthatwritetheirlanguage in nationalcharacters,differentfromthe LatinonesAtMercyofGreatPowers.

However,besidesthesesimilarities, therearestrikingdifferences.While Irelandfoughtforfreedomwithoutthe aidofanyEuropeannation,modern Greeceandherhistoryarealmostcompletelyaproductionofthejealousyof greatEuropeanPowers.

Fromtheoutset,Russia,England and,later,GermanyandItalyconsideredGreeceastheircreation,their protege,andtheirpuppet.

Onlysincetheendoftheeighteenth centuryhadtheEuropeanPowers realisedtheshamefulfactthatthe countryoftheancientheroesofspirituallifeinEurope,ofmuch-admired antiquity-wherethefirstChristiancongregationinEuropeoriginated,and oneofthemotherlandsoftheChurchcontinuedtobeunciarpaganrule.

In1774,RussiaobtainedaprotectorateovertheOrthodoxGreeksubjects intheTurkishEmpire.Atthesame time,thenationalspiritofGreecerevived,especiallybyCorea'screationof theAmodernwrittenlanguage.

IndependenceRegained.

Eventually,in1829,therepeatedattemptsatregainingindependencesucceeded,andGreecebecamerecognised asaprincipalityunderaChristian Prince,thoughstilltributarytothe Sultan.

PrinceLeopoldofSaxe-Coburgwas offeredthecrown,butherefused,preferringtotake,afewmonthslater,the crownofthenewly-createdBelgium.

TheGovernmentofanabsolutist GermanPrinceofBavariafailed,and GreecebecameaRepublic,untilGeorge 1,arelativeoftheDanishking,was electedKingofGreecein1863,arida mostliberalconstitutionwasintroduced. Inthesameyear,Greeceregainedan essentialpartofhernationalterritory, namely,theIonianIslands,which,since 1815,hadbeenunderBritishrule.

EconomicDifficulties.

OnaccountofhisGermansympathies,theGreekKingtriedtokeep GreecenutoftheWorldWar,butpublicopinion,ledbyGreece'sgreatand adventurousstatesman,Venizelos,on theonehand,andtheforceoftheEntentePowersontheother,superseded him.

AttheendofthewarKingConstantinewascalledbackbythenation, butinconsequenceEnglandand FrancewithdrewtheireconomicassistancefromGreeceandmodifiedin herdisfavourthePeaceTreatywith Turkey.

Thewarof1922-1923,undertakento deliveronemillionGreeksinAsia MinorfromTurkishbondage,waslost andwasfollowedbyeconomicdisaster.

lAsGreececouldnolongerreceive foreignloans,sherevengedherselfupon internationalfinanceinauniquemannerbycuttingallbanknotesinhalf, proclaimingthateachhalfhadtwothirdsofthevalueofthewholenote, thusprocuringherselfaforcedloan.

Theeconomicdisasterwasfollowed byaseriousinternalcrisis.KingConstantinewasforcedtoleavethecountry forasecondtime,andhisson(the presentKingGeorge)beganhisGovernmentbytheexecutionofsixformer Ministers.

ThereishardlyanotherEuropean countrywherethedifferentrnoiern politicalsystemsandmethodshave beentriedmoredesperatelythanin Greece,which,inthecourseoffifteen years,wassuccessivelyaconstitutional monarchy,asocialistrepublic,amilitarydictatorship(Pangalos),and, eventually-afterKingGeorge'ssecond returnin1935-aconstitutional-authoritarianState(Metaxas).

PopulationProblems.

Besidesthis,however,Greeceisone ofthefewEuropeancountrieswhere theinterventionoftheLeagueofNationsyieldedgoodresults.

BetweenBulgariaandTurkeyonthe onesideandGreeceontheother,the SettlementCommissionoftheLeave ofNationscarriedoutthegreatestexchangeofpopulationsinuniversalhistory.

Theideathathomogenityofpopulationwithinfixednationalboundaries isasafeprotectivemeasureagainst warhasbeenrecentlyadoptedalsoby Germany,ItalyandRussia.Thesettlementofoveramillionrefugees,especiallyinNorthernGreece,becamethe mainproblemduringthelast15years.

Greece'spopulationisnowabout sevenmillions,whichisfairlydense whenthefactisconsideredthatagreat partofthewholeterritoryof50,000 squaremilesisunsuitableforcultivation.

Forthefirsttimein2,500years,

Greecehasbecomeagainanational State,unitingwithinherborderspracticallyallGreeksintheEastMediterranean. Duringthetimesofdispersaland serfdomtheGreeknationhasbeenheld togetherbyherlanguage,historical culture,andbyreligion.

ReligionandCulture.

Culturalrevivalandastrengthened positionoftheestablishedOrthodox Churcharecharacteristicfeaturesof modernGreece.TheexchangeofpopulationwithTurkeywasmade,notonly fromthenational,butalsofromthe religiouspointofview.

InvirtueoftheGraeco-TurkishConvention,Turkeyeventriedtoexpelthe OrthodoxPatriarchofConstantinople asanundesirablealien.

Sincethefourthcentury,Greecehad beenunderthejurisdictionofthePatriarchofConstantinople,and,asaresult,wasdrawnintotheGreatSchism.

Duringthelastthreecenturiesmany unsuccessfulattemptsatreconcilingher withRomeweremade.In1833,Greece waswithdrawnfromthejurisdictionof theVicarPatriarchincommunion withtheHolySee,and,atthesame time,thehierarchyforallCatholics, wasre-established.Also,duringthe nineteenthcentury,theArchbishoprics ofAthens,Corfu,andNaxoswerereerected.Forthenorthernpartof GreecetheApostolicVicariateofSalonika(St.Paul'sThessalonika)andfor theUniatesoftheGreekRite,ApostolicAdministrationsinAthensand Macedoniawereestablished.
