TheCatholicChurchinJapan

Nagasaki(Japan).-Oneofthegreat difficultiesfacingtheChurchinJapan arisesfromtheofficialceremoniesheld intheShintotemples,whichbothCatholicschoolchildrenandCatholicGovernmentemployeesarefrequentlyforcedtoattend,ortofacepunishmentif theyabsentthemselves.Japan'sfirst nativebornCatholicBishop,HisLordshipJanuariusHayasaka,oftheDioceseofNagasakihaspublishedanimportantstatementonthesubject,in whichhedemandsthattheGovernmentpermittruereligiousliberty.His Lordshipbeginsbyspeakingofthepropagandaofradicalismintheempire, andtheappealtheGovernmenthas madetoreligiontofightit.Hecontinuesasfollows:

"Theyearwhichhasjustcometo anendhasbeenayearofcontradictions,withoutprinciplesandwelldefinedaims,sincetheGovernmenthas soughttoencourageamovementfor theculturalelevationofthepeople, buthaspermittedthemovementto reduceitselftomerelyanintensecampaigntopromoteShintoism,acult whichcannotbeconsideredotherthan aprimitivereligion.

"LESTWEFORGET"

TheProselyterinIreland.

"Roscommon,"writingtotheEd.tor ofthe"IrishCatholic,"says: Attemptshavebeenmadeinvari'us formsforgenerationspasttodraw asidetheCatholicsofIrelandfromthe religionoftheirfathers.Divingthe PenaltimesinIrelandthemostatrociousmeasureswereadoptedtocompel theIrishpeopletorenouncetheirholy faith.Whatthosemeasureswerehave beendescribedinvigoroustermsby severalProtestantwriters."ThePenal Code.'saidEdmundBurke,"wasthe worstspeciesoftyrannythattheinsolenceandharshnessofmankindever daredexercise.Itwasamachineof wiseandelaboratecontrivance,and aswellfittedfortheoppression,impoverishment,anddegradationofa peopleandthedebasementinthemof humannatureitselfaseverproceeded fromthepervertedingenuityofman.

Farfromsucceedingintheobjectintended,itappearedtohetheother way.ArthurYoung,whomadean extendedtourthroughIreland,and spentthreeyearsmovingabout amongstpeopleofallclassesjustatthe timewhenthePenalLawswerestill beingenforced,tellsus"thattheestablishedreligionhadnotgainedupon theCatholicsinpointofnumbers,but, onthecontrary,thatthelatterhave beenratherontheincrease.The PenalLawshavecrushedalltheindustryandwrestedmostofthepropertyfromCatholics,butthereligion triumphs-itisthoughttoincrease.

TheSecularisationofEngland

TheChallengeBeforeCatholicism.

Mr.RichardO'Sullivan,abrilliant YoungIrishbarrister,well-knowninthe EnglishCourtsofJustice,delivereda strikingspeechtotheUniversityof LondonCatholicSocietyattheLondonSchoolofEconomicslastmonth.

"Somemaysay,"heremarked,"that thereisnochallengebeforeCatholic. ism.andthatonlyafewmonthsago, whenwewerecelebratingtheCentenaryofCatholicEmancipationwewere congratulatingourselvesonallthe groundwhichhadbeenwonforCatholicismduringthecenturysince O'Connellfirstlaidthefoundationin 1829.Itwascontinuallyassertedduringlastyearthatwehad'increased enormously,bothinnumbersandin prestige.ButweareinclinedtooverlookthefactthattheCatholiclifeof England,isnotthewholeofthelife ofEngland,andthat,ifwewishto doourpartinaddingtowhatwas wonbyEmancipation,wemustnow trytodosomethingtowardsarrestingthesecularisationofthiscountry,which hasbeensteadilygrowingforlong yearspast.

"TheReformationwasprimarilyresponsibleforallthis:foroncetheidea ofprivatejudgmentinspiritualthings wasintroduced,itwastheeasiest thingintheworldforthentobeinducedbydegreestoreleasetheirhold uponallthatwasnotpurelymaterial. Allthechangesinbeliefwhichhave takenplacehavebeenonthedownwardplane,makingforthedenialof God,andfortheattitudeofmind whichdeclaresthatitisimpossible formantoknowanythingforcertain aboutanythingoutsidehimself.The philosophywhichteachesthatmanis thesumandcentreofallthings,and denieshisabilitytoreachanythingbeyondhimself,culminates,naturally, inhisrejectionofthesupernaturalaltogether.Thelogicalissueisself-worship-orsuicide:forthatistheresult ofman'sreactionwhenhediscovers thathehasbeenworshippingfalse gods.

"Proposalsofracesuicide,proposals forsterilisation,andforwhatmenare pleasedtocall'euthanasia,'arewhat verymanyinthiscountryareclamouringto-day"concludedMr.O'Sullivan. "Theseallattackthespiritualityof maninhisspirituallife,andthatina mannerwhichreactsevenuponhis bodilylifeandwelfare,anditisthese thingsagainstwhichweasCatholics mustfightifweare,todoourpartin arrestingthefurtherdeclineofour countryintomerematerialism."

ModernProdigal;Sons

TheparableoftheProdigalSon oncemorewasenactedonthestageof history.Theyoungchildrenofthat generationwenttotheirspititual father,whohadweatheredthestorms andstrifesofcenturies,askedhim fortheirsubstance,andthenwentoff intoafarcountry.Theirsubstance consistedofacertainamountofreligiouscapitalintheformofspiritual truthstransmittedbytheChurchsince thedaysofChrist.Inthishearing werethreepearlsofgreatprice.First, abeliefinGod,theCreatorofall thingsandtheProvidenceWhichrules theworld.Secondly,abeliefinthe DivinityofChrist,theauthenticity andveracityofHisScriptures,andthe possibilityofHiscommunicatingspirituallifetothechildrenofmen.Thirdly,thenecessityofasocialorganisationcalledaChurch,inwhichmemberswouldrendernotonlypersonalworship toGodbutalsosocialtributesas membersofsociety.

TheProdigalSonwastedhissubstance,andsodidtheprodigalchildren.Thereligiousworldoutsideof.. Catholicismhasbeenliving.,nCatholiccapitalforthreehundredyears,and nowthecapitalisalmostgone.The 18th.centurylostsomeofitandasked foranewChrist;the19th..ostmore ofit,andaskedforanewGod;and the20th.spentthelastofitandasked foranewreligion.

Itwasnotsolongagowhenwe coulddependuponthosesectswhich calledthemselvesChristians,tohelpus defendthegreatfundamentalruthsof Christianity,suchastheDivinityof Christandthenecessityofthesalvationoftheindividualsoul.Thatday haspassed.Manyofthebestknown preachersareto-daypreachingnothing butaglorifiedhumanism,andthere arebutfewwhowoulddaretospeakof divinejusticeorretribution.Weare thereforeforcedpracticallytocarry onthebattleforChristiantruthalone. Thisissomethingnewinthehistoryof Christianity.

Asaconsequence,atthepresent daythereligionofChristisfacinga crisisthelikeofwhichitprobablyhas notfacedsincethedaysofConstantine.BythatImeanthatuptothis timetheChurchhasbeenen.sagedin akindofcivilwar,inwhichaChristianideahasbattledwithamisunder standingofaChristianidea.Noneof thegreatheresiesofthepastdenied theexistenceofGod.buttheymiscon ceivedthenotionoftheTrinity,the 'natureofChrist,thenaturecfDivine Grace,andthemissionoftheCnurch.Rev.FultonSheen,S.T.D.,in"TheNew Paganism."
