THETHINEDGEOFTHEWEDGE.

AsG.K.Chestykonwrote:''ACatholicisapersonwhohaspluckedup couragetofacetheincredibleandinconceivableideathatsomethingelse maybewiserthanheis.Andthe moststrikingandoutstandingillustrationisperhapstobefoundintheCatholicviewofmarriageascompared withthemoderntheoryofdivorce; not,itmustbenoted,theverymoderntheoryofdivorce,whichisthe merenegationofmarriage,butthe slightlylessmodernandmoremoderatetheoryofdivorce,whichwasgenerallyacceptedwhenIwasaboy.

-Thisistheveryvitalpointofthe rejectionofthemoderateaswellasthe immoderatetheory.

Buttheywouldhaveregardedbirth preventionexactlyastheywouldhave regardedinfanticide.

"Yetaboutdivorce,suchProtestants didholdanintermediateview,which wassubstantially4.114." Theythought thenormalnecessityanddutyofall marriedpeoplewastoremainfaithful totheirmarriage;thatthiscouldbe demandedofthem,likecommonhonestyoranyothervirtue.

"Buttheythoughtthatinsomevery extremeandextraordinarycasesadivorcewasallowable.Now,putting asideourownmysticalandsacramentaldoctrine,thiswasnot,ontheface ofit,anunreasonableposition.It certainlywasnotmeanttobeananarchicalposition.ButtheCatholic Church,standingalmostalone,declaredthatitwould,infact,leadtoan anarchicalposition;andtheCatholic Churchwasright.

"TheChurchwasrighttorefuseeven theexception.Theworldhasadmittedtheexception;andtheexception hasbecometherule."("TheWelland theShallows.")

Byforbiddingdivorce,theChurch remainsfaithfultotheteachingofher DivineFounderand,atthesametime,

shemakesanuncompromisingstand againstoneofthemostpotentagencies ofsocialdisruptionanddecay.

THISDIVORCEBUSINESS.

Icanseeyourpointinrefusingto marrydivorcedCatholicsuntilone ofthepartieshasdied,butwhatI cannotunderstandiswhyyouwill notmarryanon-Catholicdivorceeto aCatholicinamixedmarriage.

Ontheotherhand,shedoesnotre cognisetherightorthepowerofcivil authoritytodissolvethebondofmarriagevalidbeforeGod.Therefore,as farastheCatholicChurchisconcerned,avalidlymarriednon-Catholicwho hasobtainedacivildivorcewould stillremainboundbeforeGodbythe bondofmarriageand,consequently, notfreetocontractanewmarriage eitherintheCatholicChurchoroutof it. Thereason,then,whytheChurch willnotsanctionthere-marriageofa divorcedCatholicornon-Catholic,in theChurchoranywhereelse,isthat, intheeyesofGod,heisstillbound bythebondofthefirstmarriage. * * * MIXEDMARRIAGES.

Iknowthatyoudonotapproveof mixedmarriages.Yetyoudoperformmixedmarriages.

Thenwhyrefuseamixedmarriage whenoneparty(thenon-Catholic) ha"beenpreviouslymarriedoutside theCatholicChurchandhasobtainedadivorce?

Theanswershouldbeclearfrom whathasbeensaidinanswertopreviousquestions.

TheChurchrefusestocountenancea newmarriagebecausethedivorced partyisstillboundbeforeGodbythe bondofthefirstmarriageand,forthis reason,cannotcontractanewmarriage whichwouldbevalidbeforeGodwhile theotherpartytothefirstmarriageis stillliving.(Itishereassumed,of course,thatthefirstmarriagewas valid.)

OurLordhadHisspecialfriends whenHedweltuponthisearth.St. Johnwascalled''thebeloveddisciple," becauseJesuslovedhimmorethan anyoneoftheotherApostles.

ItisclearfromtheGospelsthat MarthaandMary,togetherwiththeir brotherLazarus,wereaprivilegedfamily.OurLordwouldnotthinkof passingtheirhomeinBethany;HealwayscalledtogreetthemwithHisaccustomedsalutation:"Peacebeto you."

But,thatpredilectionforcertain soulsdidnotceaseafterHeleftthis world.St.JohnofGod,theLittle Flower,St.Alphonsus,andReligious generally,havebeensingledoutfora loveofpreference.TheDivineLover expectedHischosenonestoresponr1 believetherehadeverbeenasingle hitchinthosecordialrelationsdown theyears.Hencehewasprivileged thatmorningtopaytothemtheunstintedtributeofwelldeservedpraise andgratitude.

ThatgrandspiritoftheSistersof St.Joseph-theirgenerousco-operation withtheclergy-andthesplendidre. sultsachievedintheparisheswherein theywork,weredueinnosmallmeasuretothetwovenerablejubilarians ofto-day.MothersEvangelistand Veronicahadheldthehighestpositions oftheirCongregationsinWestAustralia,andeitherbothoratleast hasbeenthereinFremantleforthe greaterpartof50years.Theyhad guidedandconsolidatedtheirSociety withpracticalwisdom,astruedisciples ofBlessedEmiledeVialar,andto-day theyhadthehappinessofknowing thattherewere102Sistersintheirconvents,continuingthenobleworkof teaching1,100pupilshowbesttoface thesternrealitiesoflifeandprepare forlifeeternal.

FatherHaughregrettedthatAustralianGovernmentshadnotyetseenfit tograntreligiousteachersthejustrewardoftheirlabours.

Heofferedthejubilarianshismost heartycongratulations.Indoingso, hewasvoicingthesentimentsofHis GracetheArchbishop(whowould havebeenthereifhecouldhavegot downfromtheGoldfields),thesentimentsoftheprieststherepresent,of theirmanypupilsandfriends,who werewiththemthatdayinspirit.And nowthattheyhadreachedtheevening oflife,whentoallappearancethesun wasgoingdown,hisearnestwishwas thatitmightgodownslowly:and whenitsets,thattheymightfind themselvesamongstthewhite-robed bandwhowereenjoyingtheeternalre. wardforhavinginstructedmanyunto justice.

HencetheReligious,byvirtueofher holyProfession,consecratedherselfentirelytoGod.St.Thomasreferredto itasaholocaust.For,justasthevictimofthewhole-burntofferingwas givencompletelytoGod,so,inlike manner,theReligioussurrendered everythingtoHimbytheoblationof herselfimpliedinthevowsofPoverty, ChastityandObedience.Thatactof life-longdevotiontoGodwasalsofittinglydescribedasaConsecration.The Saintsdidnothesitatetocomparea professedReligioustoachalicewhich issetasidefortheworshipofGodat thealtarofSacrifice.

ByhervowofPoverty,theReligious disengagedheraffectionsfromthingsof earthlyvalue.HervowofChastity admittedherintothecompanyof heroicandangelicsouls,whosepanegyricwaspreachedbytheSpiritof GodHimself,whenHecriedout:"0, howbeautifulisthechastegeneration withglory;thememorythereofis knownbothwithGodandwithmen."

PraisesIdealsofSocietyofJesus

"SpeakingasaProtestantandthe presidentofauniversityfoundedby aProtestantdenomination,"Dr.RobertMaynardHutchins,presidentof theUniversityofChicago,atthecelebrationoftheJesuits'quatra-centenary,saidthattheeducationalideals oftheSocietyofJesusarethose"to whichseculareducationmustcomeif wearetodefenddemocracyinthis country."

"EveninAmerica,"saidDr.Hutchins,"whereeducationhasbecome almostsynonymouswithvocational trainingandphysicalculturewitha goodtimethrownin,theJesuitshave succeededinretainingthespiritof theliberalartsasthebasisandcentre ofeducation."

Dr.Hutchinswasoneofthemany leadingeducatorsofIllinoisandneigh-

bouringStatesattheacademicsymposiumatLoyolaUniversity,whict, concludedthelocalobservanceofthe Jesuitanniversary.

Dr.Hutchinscriticisedmuchof moderneducationforneglectingtoprepareAmericanmindsandheartsfor theproperunderstandingofdemocracyandwarnedthatitwillbedifficulttodefendAmericandemocracyif itsprinciplesareneitherunderstood noraccepted.Headdedthatinthe UnitedStatesto-daytoomanyhold principles"notdifferentenoughfrom Hitler'stomakeusveryruggedindefendingoursinpreferencetohis, "Wearelosingourmoralprinciples," headded,"butthevestigesofthemremaintobotherusandtointerferewith athoroughgoingcommitmenttomoral principles.Hence,weareconfused,

divided,ineffectiveHitlers.InacontestbetweenHitlerandpeoplewho arewonderingwhytheyshouldn'tbe Hitlers,thefinishedproductisbound towin."

Dr.Hutchinsdeploredthefactthat somanyAmericansarevagueasto themeaningofdemocracy,sayingthat inviewof dominantthematerialisticphilosophy insomuchofAmericaneducation,"allwehavetofearisthatthe moralandintellectualstaminaofthe defenderswillnotbeequaltoanattack"upondemocracy.

Declaringthatdemocracy"isthe onlyformofgovernmentthatcancombinethreecharacteristics-law,equal- ityandjustice"-Dr.Hutchinssaid theseprinciplesmustbebelievedinif theyaretobedefended,butinorder tobelieveinthem,headded,"wemust believethatthereissuchathingas truthandthatinthesematterswe candiscoverit."Heassailedmany Americaneducatorsforteachingthat thereisnotruthexceptthatwhichis provenbyexperimentalevidence.He said"wemustagreethattruthworth fightingforcanbefoundoutsidethe laboratory.""Valuableasthetruths arethatmaybefoundinit,"headded, "truthsabouttheendoflifeandthe aimsofsocietyarenotsusceptibleof laboratoryinvestigation.

"Inordertobelieveindemocracy, then,wemustbelievethatthereisa differencebetweentruthandfalsity,' heasserted,"goodandbad,rightand wrong,andthattruth,goodness,and rightareobjectivestandardseven thoughtheycannotheexperimentally verified."

Dr.Hutchinssaidthenotionof freedom,boundupintheveryconcept ofdemocracy,isbasedontruth,be-

causeonlythetruthmakesfreeminds, which,hesaid,are"mindsableto operatewell."Hecalledforthedevelopmentofmindsdisciplinedby goodhabitsas"thefirststepineducation"andthedevelopmentofunder. standingastowhatisgoodasthenext step. Theeducatorassertedthat"thegreat problemofourtimeismoral,intellectualandspiritual,"saying"wehave directedourlivesandoureducation tomeansinsteadofends.""Wehave beenconcernedwiththetransitory andsuperficialinsteadoftheenduring andbasicproblemsoflifeandsociety," headded.
