TheQuestionBox

Questionsaboutthedoctrine andpracticeoftheOhurchwill beansweredinthissectionweekly.Inquirersaretobeasbrief andclearaspossible.

Question:(1)WhenrecitingtheRosary,shouldonemeditateontheMysteries,whilerecitingtheHailMary,or shouldhefirstmeditateonthemysteriesandthensaythedecadeofHail Mary's?

(2)Inthe"OurFather,"thephrase "Leadusnotintotemptation,"would seemtoimplythatGodleadsusinto temptation,andthenpunishesusif wefall.(C.D.A.)

Answer:(1)Eitherwayofreciting theRosaryisadmissable.Thenature oftheRosaryisthatitisatthesame timeavocalprayer,andaseriesof meditationsonthemysteriesitcommemorates.Thefactthatweare thinkingonsomemystery,doesnot preventusfromsayingtheprayers withdevotion.Inmanydevotional booksthesecondmethodisfound;but thefirstseemstobethemethodmore commonlyused.

(2)Thephraseinquestionmeans "Preserveusfromtemptation."Itis obviouslyridiculousthatGodwould temptustosin.Atthemost,He permitsourbeingtempted,andisever readytoassistusbyHisgraceinour temptations.IntheLord'sPrayer, weasktobeshieldedfromtemptation, oratleasttobestrengthenedagainst falling.ifwearetempted.Theapparentlyround-aboutwayofasking, containedinthe"OurFather,'isdue tc,aliteraltranslationoftheoriginal text.

Question:Whatistheoriginofthe JubileeorHolyYear?

Answer:TheJubileewasinstituted byPopeBonifaceVIII.,intheyear 1300.ItconsistsofauniversalPlenaryIndulgence,tobegainedbythe fulfillmentofcertainconditions,stipulatedinthePapalBullannouncingthe Jubilee.ConfessionandCommunion,

andvisitstosomeoftheprincipal RomanBasilicas,arealwaysincluded intheseconditions.Originallythe Indulgencehad,ofnecessity,tobe gainedinRome.Lateron,itbecame thecustomtoextendtheJubileeto thewholeworld,forthebenefitof thoseunabletovisitRome,andto varytheconditions,accordingtolocal circumstances.TheHolyYearrecurs everytwenty-fiveyears;butsometimesaHolyYearExtraordinaryis proclaimed,as,forinstance,thisyear, inhonouroftheHolyFather'sGolden JubileeofPriesthood.

Question:IftwoProtestantshave beenmarriedintheirownchurch,and oneafterwardsbecomesaCatholic,'can heorshebedivorcedandmarryagain intheCatholicChurch?-(Enquirer.)

Answer:No.Aswasexplainedpreviously,theChurchinhermarriage lawsdoesnotconcernherselfwith thoseoutsidethefold,whentheycontractmarriageamongthemselves. Theirpreviousmarriagewouldbe validandconversionwouldnotinvalidateit;sothattheconvertisnot freetomarryagain.
