MixedMarriages

'Worried,"Rockhampton,Queensland. Wouldyoupleasehelpmetoexplain threepointsofCatholicteachingtoa youngwoman,withwhomIhave comeintocontactlately?

Ishallexplainthembriefly.Ifyou willsendmeyournameandaddressI willpostyousonicliteraturewhich treatsmorefullyofthepointsyou mention.

Iamaskedwhy,whenamixedmarriageisabouttotakeplace,thepartiesmustbemarriedintheCatholic Church,thusobligingthenon-Catholicpartytoabidebylawslaiddown bytheCatholicChurch?

TheCatholicChurchtakesherself seriouslyastheonetrueChurchfoundedbyChrist.She,therefore,regards itasherboundendutytoprotectthe faithofhersubjectsineverypossible way,sincethisFaithissovitallyimportantfortheireternalsalvation.In pursuanceofthispurpose,theChurch forbidsCatholicstocontractmarriage exceptintheCatholicChurch,anddeclaresthatanymarriagecontractedby aCatholicoutsidetheChurchisinvalidintheeyesofGod.Now,the Churchdisapprovesofmixedmarriages becausetheyoftenleadtothelossof Faithandtoreligiousindifference,and becausetheyareopposedtothatcompleteunitybetweenhusbandandwife iftheyaredividedonthemostfundamentalofallissues,whichisreligion. NeverthelesstheChurchdoesnotforbidmixedmarriagesabsolutely.She permitsthemundertheconditionslaid downbylawforthesafeguardingofthe FaithoftheCatholicparty.Chief amongsttheseconditionsisawritten undertakingbythenon-Catholicparty toallowtheCatholicpartyfullfreedominthepracticeofhisorherreligionandawrittenundertakingby bothpartiestohaveallthechildren broughtupasCatholics.TheChurch alsoinsiststhatthenon-Catholicparty shouldhavesomeinstructioninthe teachingsoftheCatholicChurch,for itisimportantthatthenon-Catholic partyshouldhavesomeknowledgeof thereligionoftheCatholicparty;it willleadtoabetterunderstandingbetweenthemandgivegreaterhopeof harmonyinthehome.

TheChurchlegislatesforHerown subjects,notforothers.Ifnon-Catholicsarenotwillingtoobservethe conditionslaiddownbytheChurch beforeshewillrecogniseasvalidthe marriageofCatholicstonon-Catholics, thereisnoneedforthemtomarryCatholics.

ISTHECHURCHUNREASONABLE?

Thenon-Catholicpartyneverstipulatesanysuchconditions.

Thenon-Catholicchurchesdonotinsistonsuchconditionsconcerningthe marriageoftheiradherentswithothers. Rutthenthesechurchesusuallyhold thatonereligionisasgoodasanother. TheCatholicChurch,ontheother hand,deniesabsolutelythatonereligionisasgoodasanother;shetakes herselfseriouslyastheOneTrue Church.ThefactthatthenonCatholicchurchesallowagooddealof latitudetotheiradherentsinthematterofmarriage,asinthematterof beliefandworship,isnotasufficient reasonwhytheCatholicChurchshould followsuit.

Whyshouldn'tthenon-Catholicparty beallowedtomarrytheCatholic partyintheProtestantChurch?

Non-Catholicsarefreetomarry wherevertheywish.ButifanonCatholicwishestomarryaCatholic, theChurchinsiststhatthemarriage musttakeplaceintheCatholicChurch. ItisfortheCatholicChurch,notfor thenon-Catholicparty,todetermine whatisrequiredofCathoiics.

WhatrighthastheCatholicChurchto makethesedemands?

Therighttomakesuchdemandswas directlyconferredupontheChurchby ChristHimself,Whosaidtotherulers ofHisChurch:"Whatsoeveryoushall binduponearthshallbeboundalsoin heaven,andwhatsoeveryoushallloose uponearthshallbeloosedalsoin heaven"Matt.XIV.,19;XVIII.,18). Andofthemanwhorefusedtosubmit totheChurchIlesaid:"Ifhewillnot heartheChurch,lethimbetotheeas theheathenandthepublican"(Matt. XVIII.,17.) TheChurchhasthereforereceivedfromChristHimselfthe powerandtherighttolegislateformen inallmattersofbeliefandmorals,and ineverythingwhichdirectlyorindirectlyconcernstheireternalsalva-

tion,Hence,sheisquitewithinher rightswhenshelaysdowntheconditionswhichmustbeobservedwhen Catholicswishtocontractmarriage amongstthemselvesorwithnon-Catholics.

A"COMMERCIAL"AFFAIR?

MyfriendthinksthattheCatholic Churchisrunonstrictlybusiness lines. Thefundsnecessaryfortheestablishmentandmaintenanceofreligious andcharitableinstitutionsareadministeredonbusinesslines.Peoplelike yourfriendwouldbethefirsttoac cusetheChurchofinefficiency,waste, andextravaganceiftheywerenot. ButonlyonewhoiscompletelyignorantoftheCatholicChurchcouldfor amomentimaginethattheChurchis acommercialconcernwhoseaimis profit.

ToherwayofthinkingtheChurchis alwaysurgingpeopletogivemoney theycannotafford.

Thatmaybeherwayofthinking butitsworthdependsonthevalueof herreasonsforthinkingthatway.The factisthattheChurchdoesnotask anyonetogivemoneyhecannotafford.

Onthecontrary,theChurchteaches explicitlythatnooneisobligedtogive whathecannotaffordtogive.

ItistruethattheCatholicChurch inAustraliahastofaceheavyfinancial responsibilities,Catholicsarecompelledtocontributetotheupkeepof asystemofeducationwhichtheycannotinconscienceapprove.Atthe sametimetheyhaveundertakento erectandmaintainschoolsfromkindergartenstouniversitycollegesto giveafittingreligiouseducationto theirchildren.Addtothisthetask ofbuildingthenecessaryplacesof worshipforincreasingnumbersofworshippers.Theseundertakingsinvolve considerableexpenditure,andthetask offindingthemoneydevolveslargely uponthepriests.Itisathankless task,heartilydetestedbythepriests themselves,butitisnecessaryandhas tobedone,eventhoughignorantor maliciouspersonstakeadvantageof thefacttoaccusetheChurchofbeing acommercialinstitutionwhoseaimis tohoarduprichesbybleedingthe peoplewhite.

IntheProtestantchurchesthepeople areallowedtogivewhattheywish andwhentheywish.

IntheCatholicChurchalso,thepeopleareaskedtogiveastheywishand whattheycanreasonablyaffordwithintheirmeans.ButitshouldberememberedthatProtestantshavenotto carrytheheavyeducationalburdenimposeduponCatholics.Furthermore, whiletheauthoritiesofProtestantchurchesarelamentingtheabsenceofcongregations,Catholicsarefrequently compelledtoerectnewchurchesbecausethosealreadyinexistenceare notsufficientlylargetoaccommodate theever-increasingcongregations.

CATHOLICITYWITHOUTCONFES-

SION, Shesaidthatifsheeverbecamea Catholicshewouldneverenterthe Confessional.

Inthatcaseshewillneverbecomea Catholic.TheCatholicChurchclaims tobetheoneauthenticteacherofthe wholeRevelationofChrist.Consequentlyshewillnotacceptanyone whodoesnotacceptthewholeofCatholicteachingwithoutreserve.Moreover,yourfriendcouldnotinconsciencebecomeaCatholicunlessshewere convincedofthetruthofCatholic teachingandwillingtoacceptitinits entirety.

ConcerningSuicide

"PublicServant,"Bendigo,Victoria. Issuicideeverallowable?Wouldthe CatholicChurchcondoneitinany circumstances?

Suicidemeansthepositiveinfliction ofdeathupononeself.Itisavery seriousmoralwrong,beingopposed bothtothelawofnatureandthe DivineRevelationoftheTenCommandments,TheCatholicChurch doesnotpermitorcondoneitunder anycircumstanceswhatever.

Didnotthecaptainofthe"GrafSpee" commitsuicidetohavethehonour ofhiscountry?

Idonotknowwhathismotives were.Itisquitepossiblethathe thoughthewashonouringhiscountry bycommittingsuicide.But,ifhedid thinkthat,hisideaswereentirelymistaken.Theenddoesnotjustifythe means:itisnotlawfultodowhatis wronginitselfthatgoodmaycome ofit.Whateverideasthecaptainof the"GrafSpee"mayhavehadonthe matter,therecanneverbeanyreal nobilityindoingwhatismorallywrong.
