A,:Toquestionssuchasthoseyou yourselfaskinyourletter.ThegeneralpurposeofthesessionIhaveexplainedonmorethanoneoccasion.

Q.:"DoyoudenythatCatholicsmarrynon-CatholicsoutofyourChurch aretoldbyyourChurchthatthey arenotmarried?"

A.:No,Idon'tdenyit-Ireaffirmed thisteachingoftheChurchonlya momentago.

Q.:"Doyoudenythatthishascaused alotofsorrow?"

A.Sometimesinthecauseoftruth onecannotavoidhurtingothers.But youwouldpreferthatIclearlyand truthfullyexplainCatholicteaching, ratherthanthatIshouldconsultthe feelingsofthosefewwhohavefailed toconformtoCatholicteachingsand practice.

Q.:"Doyouthinkthisisagoodtime tobroadcastsectarianpropaganda,"

A.:No,Idonot,butthetruthshould beexplainedatalltimes.Remember St.Paul'swordstoTimothy:"Preach theword:beinstantinseason,outof season:reprove,entreat,rebukeinall patienceanddoctrine.Forthere shallbeatimewhentheywillnotenduresounddoctrinebut,accordingto theirowndesires,theywillheapto themselvesteachers,havingitching ears:andwillindeedturnawaytheir hearingfromthetruth,butwillbe turneduntofables."

H.F.L.,Applecross:

ThreePointsofDistinction BetweenGreekOrthodoxy andCatholicism

Thefortnightlylectureswhichare beingheldonalternateFridaysatthe CentralCatholicLibrary,continuew;sh unabatedinterestinthesubjectof TheHistoryoftheChurch.

OnFridaylast,June11,Mr.J.Edwardswasthesponsor,andthefeaturedlecturewasgivenbyVeryRev. Dr.L.Goody.Mr.F.J.McAdam wasthesupportingspeaker.

Beginningatthepointwherethe previouslecturer,Rev.FatherO'Mahony,concluded,Dr.Goodymaintained thecontinuityintheseriesandpresentedanothercolourfulchapterentitled"TheEasternChurches."

Becauseofhispersonalknowledge oftheNearandMiddleEast,Dr. Goodywasabletoilluminehistalk withreminiscencesandimparttohis hearersasympatheticunderstanding ofthedifficultiesofourseparated brethren.

TheestablishmentoftheseEastern Churcheswasbroughtaboutbythe schismsandheresiesthatsoconfused themindsofthepeoplesoftheChurch duringtheearlycenturies.Unhappily, theseparationofEastandWestern ChristendomhasenduredsothattodayhundredsofmillionsofChristians whopeopleEasternEurope,Northern Africa,andWesternAsiafindthemselveswithintheembraceofvariousOrientalrites,namely,Byzantinedivided intomanynationalchurches),Armenian,Syrian,Chaldean,Maronite, andCoptic.

Emigrationwasresponsibleforthe introductionoftheseRitesintothe newworldinamuchlesserdegree.

St.PeterfirstestablishedhisSeeat Antioch,latermovingontoRome.By theendofthethirdcenturytherewere fourPatriarchates-Rome,Alexandria, AntiochandJerusalem,thelatteralwayssubordinatetoAntioch.When inA.D.340itwasmanifestthatConstantinople,thenewnameforByzantium,wasattemptingtoimposeits authorityontheotherPatriarchates, troublearoseandthecontinuedquarrelsofPatriarchs,andthepersistence ofheresies,soonhadanunedifying effectonthepeopleandsappedthe strengthoftheChurch.

AntiochandAlexandriasufferedseverelyandtheirlosscontributedconsiderablytotheaggrandisementof Constantinople.

Wewhoto-dayarewitnessingthe devastatingeffectsofCommunism, cannotbutbecurioustolearnsomethingofthoseancientheresies.andDr. Goodybrieflyexplainedthedifferences betweenthemandshowedhowfar reachingweretheireffectsonthefaith ofthepeople:

A.D.431sawNestorianism,whichdeclaredthatthereweretwopersonsonly inChrist.Itwasstampedoutin mostcountries,butflourishedinPersiaandMesopotamia.Theoutcome ofthisheresywastheheretical-schismaticalChurchoftheChaldeans.

A.D.451broughtMonophysitism.and thisdeclaredonlyonenatureinChrist.

VERYREV.DR.L.GOODY.

Althoughmorespokenofthanbelieved inmostcases,itcausedabreaking awayfromthecentralunityoftheArmenians,Syrian-Jacobites,andEgyptianJacobites(Jacobitebeingderived fromJames-Jacobus).Thisdivision wasperpetuatedchieflybecauseofthe dislikeoftheEgyptiansandSyrians fortheByzantineoverlords.Theresultofthisheresywastheexistenceof twoPatriarchs-oneinAlexandriaand oneinAntioch-onerepresentingthe Monophysite,orhereticalChurch,and theothertheOrthodox,orTrue Church.

TheOrthodoxgraduallyadoptedthe RiteofConstantinople,andtheexclusiveuseoftheGreeklanguage.From thisperioddatesthetermGreekOr thodoxasageneraldesignationfor Orientalnon-hereticalChristians.

IntheseventhcenturytheMonotheliteHeresydecreedthattherewasonly onewillinChrist,andtheChristian SyriansofMt.Lebanon,nearthefamousMonasteryofMt.Maron,became theMaronites.Eventually,however, theyreturnedtotheirallegianceto Rome,andformanycenturiesthey havebeenCatholics.TheirRiteisderivedfromthatofAntioch,withmany Romanadulterations.

Itwasduringtheseventhcentury thatConstantinoplebecametheleader oftheEasternOrthodoxy,andinits pridebegantoquestiontheauthority ofRome.Forfivecenturies(from thefourthtotheninth),whenPatriarchPhotusfirstarlsapermanent breakwithRome,therewere187years ofschism.PatriarchMichaelCerulariuscompletedtheschisminthemiddle oftheseventhcentury,whichhasremainedtothisday,exceptfora shortreunionaftertheCouncilof Lyonsin1274,andFlorencein1439.

TheOrthodoxChurch,inspiteofthe validityofitsOrdersandtheexistence oftheRealPresenceintheEucharist, differsvastlyinappearanceandpracticefromtheLatinChurch.

Apparentlyunimportantdetailssuch asthewearingofabeardhavebeen thesubjectofheatedcontroversy,and to-dayoneseesthesurvivalofancient OrientalcustomsintheGreekOrthodoxChurch-thebeardedpriest,the ikon,theabsenceofstatues(thepracticehavingbeendestroyedbyiconoclasts),thevestmentsandlanguage, and,strangestofall,onewouldnotbe surprisedtoseethewifeandchildren ofthepriestinthefrontrowatareligiousceremony.

Manyoftheirpriestsareeducated intheLatincollegesandseminaries, andbeforetheirordinationtheyare giventheopportunityofreturning hometomarryiftheysodesire.Dr. Goodyrecalledanoccasionwhenout ,,falargenumberofstudentsonlyone availedhimselfoftheprivilege.There isagrowingdesireintheOrientfor celibacyamongtheclergy,andonly anunmarriedman,orwidower,may becomeaBishop.

Monasticismisdwindlingandthose whoembraceitslifeto-daylivethe hermiticalratherthanthecenobitical life.Thechancesofreunionwiththe MotherChurchseemremote,saidDr. Goody,andhegaveasareasonforthe stemmingofanevenfurtherdriftfrom theancientfaith,thegreatdevotion toOurLadythattheschismaticshave retained.ManyoftheSacraments arenolongerpractisedandthereis amongamajorityofschismaticpriests sogreatanignoranceoftheprayersof theliturgythataneducatedlayman isfrequentlyemployedtoreadand interprettheEpistlesandGospels.

Onecommonlyhearsitsaidthat thereisreallynodifferencebetween thebeliefsoftheCatholicChurchand thoseof,forinstance,theGreekOrthodoxChurch,exceptthenon-acceptanceofthePope'sauthority.This, unfortunately,isnotthecase.Apersonalittlebetterinformedwillsay thatthemainpointsofdifferenceare three:1.TheassertionthattheHoly GhostproceedsfromtheFatheralone andnotfromtheFatherandSon,as theCatholicChurchteaches.2.The denialofthedoctrineoftheImmaculateConception.3.Thedenialofthe SupremeAuthorityofthePope.The wholepointofthematter,however,is this:TheEasternsaccepttheGeneral CouncilastheonlyInfallibleAuthorityintheChurch.SincetheSchisms ofthe7th.and11th.centuries,such Councilshavebeenimpossible,sothey holdrigidlytotheSevenGeneralCouncils,buttheirtheologiansareatlibertytoholdandtoteachthemost astoundingvariations concerning pointsofmorerecentdiscussion.Tragicallyenough,thepointsofdifference arecontinuallyincreasingandthegap betweenusisgrowing.

Reliablesourceshaveindicatedfor sometimepast,especiallysincetheSoviet'sentryintothewar,thattheunofficialattitudetowardsthepractice ofreligion,atleastaspractisedbyOrthodoxChristiansintheU.S.S.R.,has beenconsiderablymodified.The Vaticannewspaper,"OsservatoreRomano,"andtheVaticanRadio,as wellasotherimportantorgans,"close totheVatican,-havepublishedwhat the"CentreofInformationProDeo," theCatholicInternationalResearch andNewsAgency,callstwomajorconclusions.Theyare(a)TheRussian peoplehaveheroicallyandunceasingly resistedalleffortsatde-Christianisation,and(b)theRussianGovernment nowgivessignsofincreasingtolerance forreligion.

Mgr.Knox'sNewTestament

WhyaNewTranslation

Desirable

Aninterestingaccountofhisaim andmethodinmakinganewtranslationintoEnglishoftheNewTestamentwasgivenrecentlybyRight Rev.Mgr.RonaldKnox,formerlyCatholicchaplainattheUniversityof Oxford,who,forsometimepast,has beendevotinghimselftotheworkof translationentrustedtohim.A"trial editon"ofthenewversionhasjust beenprintedandhasbeeneagerly soughtbysubscribers.

Mgr.KnoxhastranslatedtheVulgatetext,itselftheworkofSt.Jerome.

Askedbya"Uniserve"reporterto explaintheoriginoftheworkand hismethodofworking,Mgr.Knox said:

Mgr.Knox,sonofRt.Rev.Edmund ArbuthnottKnox,AnglicanBishopof Manchester,wasbornin1888,andwas receiyedintotheChurchbythelate AbbotCabrol,O.S.B.,in1917.Hewas educatedatEtonandBalliol,Oxford, andafteradistinguishedscholasticcareer,waschaplainatTrinityCollege, from1912totheyearofhisconversion.HeisabrotherofE.V.Knox (Evoe),editorof"Punch,"andisthe authorofalonglistofbooksona varietyofsubjects,amongthemthe historyofhisconversion,"ASpiritual Aeneid,"somevolumesofsermons, severalworkswithafinesatiricalflavour,andanumberofdetectivestories.
