An Inquiry, Whether Salvation Can Be Had Without True Faith,
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
and out of the Communion of the Church of Christ
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
by Bishop George Hay of Scotland [1729-1811],
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Excerpts From THE SINCERE CHRISTIAN</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Bishop George Hay was one of the greatest Catholic teachers and apologists
of the early 19th Century. His three famous books are The Sincere
Christian, The Devout Christian, and The Pious Christian which are out of
print. Bishop Hay was a formidable opponent of liberalism, and his works
have received high praise from numerous Catholic bishops of the 19th
Century. Paul Cardinal Cullen said, "the learned Bishop's writings display
a great power of reasoning, and great critical acumen, while they supply
an inexhaustible mine of erudition and Scriptural knowledge".
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
This eleven-part presentation is taken from the concluding chapters The
Sincere Christian. It is here that Dr. Hay demonstrates from Scripture
that the Catholic Church is the one true Church, outside of which there is
no salvation. The bishop's presentation is scrupulously methodical. He
thoroughly explains one point, then employs it as a foundation for the
next. This exhaustive treatise is desperately needed, especially in our
age when the doctrinal truth on the one true Church of Christ is denied by
a great multitude of Catholic laity, clergy and prelates.

<h3 id="sigil_toc_id_1" style="text-align: justify;">PART 1</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Introduction and State of the Question</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
There is nothing in which the great Apostle of the Gentiles
seems more to glory than in his ardent zeal for the salvation of souls,
and in the sincerity of his heart in delivering to the world the sacred
truths of eternity pure and uncorrupted. He was not ashamed of these
Divine truths; he rejoiced when he was called to suffer for them; he had
no worldly interest in view in preaching them; he sought not the esteem
and favor of men in delivering them; his only view was to promote the
honor of his blessed Master, and to gain souls to Him, and therefore he
had no idea of using flattering words, or of accommodating the doctrine of
the Gospel to the humors of men.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
He knew that the truths revealed by Jesus Christ are
unalterable; that "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but His words shall
never pass away;" and that, therefore, to corrupt these sacred words,
though but in one single article, would be ". . . perverting the Gospel of
Christ," [Gal. 1: 7], — a sin so grievous that the Holy Ghost, by His
mouth, pronounces a curse upon anyone, though an angel from Heaven who
shall dare to be guilty of it.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Hence he describes his own conduct in preaching the Gospel as
follows: ". . . You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what
manner I have been with you for all the time. . . . How I have kept back
nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you, and
taught you publicly, and from house to house," [Acts 20: 18-20]" . . . we
had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the Gospel of God in much
carefulness. . . . not as pleasing men, but God, Who proveth our hearts.
For neither have we used at any time the speech of flattery, as you know,
nor taken occasion of covetousness; [God is witness]. Nor sought we glory
of men, neither of you, nor of others." [1 Thess. 2: 2,4-6] "For we are
not as many, adulterating the Word of God; but with sincerity, but as from
God, before God, in Christ we speak," [2 Cor. 2: 17]. "But we renounce the
hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating
the Word of God, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to
every man's conscience, in the sight of God. . . . For we preach not
ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord . . ." [2 Cor. 4: 2,5]. ". . . so I
seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be a servant of
Christ." [Gal. 1: 10] Now, ". . . Christ sent me to preach the Gospel, not
in wisdom of speech lest the Cross of Christ should be made void; for the
word of the Cross to them indeed that perish is foolishness; but to
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power
of God. . . . it pleased God by the foolishness of our preaching to save
them that believe. . . . For the foolishness of God is wiser
than men . . . the foolish things of the world God hath chosen, that He
may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen,
that He may confound the strong, . . . That no flesh should glory in His
sight." [1 Cor. 1: 17-18, 21, 25, 27, 29] "For I am not ashamed of the
Gospel; for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that
believeth . . ." [Rom. 1: 16]. And therefore, " . . . I brethren, when I
came to you, came not in loftiness of speech or of wisdom, declaring to
you the testimony of Christ. . . . and my preaching was not in the
persuasive words of human wisdom, but in showing of the Spirit and power.
That your Faith might not stand on the wisdom of men, but on the power of
God." [1 Cor. 2: 1, 4, 5]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The Church of Christ, animated by the same Divine Spirit of
truth which inspired this holy Apostle, has at all times regulated her
conduct according to the model set before her in his words and example,".
. . contend earnestly for the Faith once delivered to the Saints." [Jude,
1: 3]; her continual care is ". . . to keep that which is committed to thy
trust" pure and undefiled, "avoiding all profane novelties of words . . ."
[1 Tim. 6: 20]; that the sacred words of God, "
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
. . . I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth . . .
from henceforth and for ever." [Isa. 59: 21] She therefore knows not what
it is to temporize in religion, in order to please men, not to adulterate
the Gospel of Christ to humor them; she declares the sacred truths
revealed by Jesus Christ in their original simplicity, without seeking to
adorn them with the persuasive words of human wisdom, much less to
disguise them in a garb not their own.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Truth, plain and unadorned, is the only weapon she employs
against her adversaries, regardless of their censure or their approbation.
"This is the truth," she says, "revealed by God; this ye must embrace, or
ye can have no part with Him." If the world look upon what she says as
foolishness, she is not surprised, for she knows that ". . . the sensual
man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is
foolishness to him, and He cannot understand . . ." [1 Cor. 2: 14]; but
that "the foolishness of God is wiser than men;" and pitying this
blindness, she earnestly prays God to enlighten them, "With modesty
admonishing them, . . .if, peradventure, God may give them repentance to
know the truth." [2 Tim. 2: 25].
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
If ever there was a time when this conduct of the Church was
necessary, the present age seems particularly to demand it. At present the
gates of Hell seem opened, and infidelity of every kind stalks lawless on
the earth; the sacred truths of religion are reviled and denied, the
Gospel adulterated by countless contradictory interpretations; its
original simplicity disfigured by loftiness of speech and the persuasive
words of human wisdom. A thousand condescensions and compliances are
permitted in the unchangeable doctrines of Faith and the pure maxims of
morality and "the narrow way that leads to life" converted into "the broad
road that leads to destruction."
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_2" style="text-align: justify;">
if live "good moral life", heathen, deist, atheist saved?
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
This observation applies particularly to that latitudinarian opinion so
common nowadays, that a man may be saved in any religion, provided he
lives a good moral life according to the light he has; for by this the
Faith of Christ is made void, and the Gospel rendered of no avail. A Jew,
a Mahometan, a heathen, a deist, an atheist, are all comprehended in this
scheme, and if they live a good moral life, have an equal right to
salvation with a Christian! To be a member of the Church of Christ is no
longer necessary; for whether we belong to her or not, if we live a good
moral life, we are in the way of salvation!
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
What a wide field does this open to human passions! What
license does it give to the caprice of the human mind! It is therefore of
the utmost consequence to examine the ground of this opinion, to see if we
can safely trust our salvation to it. It is doubtless the interest of
atheists and deists to adopt this opinion, to extol it with the highest
praises for liberality of sentiment and charity; but a Christian who
believes the Gospel will not receive it so readily: he knows that the
Scriptures contain the truth of God, and; that it is unsafe to trust our
soul to any maxim, however specious, which is not, grounded on their
sacred oracles; and therefore, before he adopts it, he will rigorously
scrutinize it by comparing it with what they teach.
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_3" style="text-align: justify;">
free-thinking diametrically opposed to revelation
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
To do this is the design of the following inquiry, or rather
to show, from the precise declaration of the Word of God, that the above
free-thinking maxim is diametrically opposed to the light of revelation;
for there we learn that the Son of God became man and appeared among men,
in order to instruct them in the knowledge of those Divine truths on which
their salvation depends; and therefore that He absolutely requires true
Faith in Him, and, in the sacred truths which He revealed, as a necessary
condition of salvation. There also we learn that He instituted a holy
Church on earth, to be the depository of these truths, and that He
absolutely requires all to be united with that Church in order to be
saved.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
In the belief of these two truths "Christian" Churches in
general agree. The Churches of England and Scotland, no less than the,
Catholic Church, solemnly acknowledge them, and hold that, without the
true Faith of Jesus Christ, and without being a member of His true Church,
there is no salvation. They all agree in the belief of these truths,
however much they differ in their application. In this inquiry, then, it
is the common cause of Christianity which is defended. To which Church the
author belongs will easily appear; and if he applies these general truths
to his own Church, it is because he believes it to be the true Church. A
member of any other must do the same if he reason consequentially;
wherefore, without any further preamble, we shall proceed to the point,
and show, in the words of the Confession of Faith of the Church of
Scotland, that out of the Church of Christ there is no ordinary
possibility of salvation [Confession of Faith, chap. xxv]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 1. How does this appear from the Holy Scriptures?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. The Holy Scriptures are very plain on this head; but as the
various texts propose it under different points of view, we shall, for
greater clearness, consider them separately.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<h3 id="sigil_toc_id_4" style="text-align: justify;">
SECTION I: Direct Proofs from Scripture
</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
1. The prophet Isaiah, foretelling the glory of the Church
of Christ, says, "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and
every tongue that resisteth thee in judgment thou shalt condemn," [Isa.
54: 17]. "For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee shall
perish," [Isa. 60: 12]. Here we see declared in express terms that all
those who oppose the Church of Christ, and refuse to submit to her
authority, shall be condemned by her, and shall perish. Our Savior
declares the same in still stronger terms, when He says to the pastors of
His Church, in the persons of His Apostles, when He sent them to preach
the Gospel, "And whosoever shall not receive you, NOR HEAR YOUR WORDS,
going forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
Amen, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in
the day of judgment than for that city," [Matt. 10: 14, 15].
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
2. Our Savior, after instructing us to admonish our offending
brother in private, or before a few witnesses, concludes thus: "And if he
will not hear them, tell the Church. And if he will not hear the Church,
let him be to thee as the heathen and publican." [Matt. 18: 17]. The
heathens are those who know not the true God, and who worship idols, and
the very devils themselves, instead of God. The publicans were a class of
people among the Jews odious for their crimes, and looked upon by all as
abandoned by God, and given over to a reprobate sense. With these, then,
all who obstinately resist the voice of the Church are classed and
condemned by the mouth of Jesus Christ Himself.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
3. Our Savior, speaking of His Church under the figure of a
flock, of which He Himself is the good shepherd, says: "And other sheep I
have that are not of this fold; them also I must bring. And they shall
hear My voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd." [John 10:
16]. He is here speaking of those who were not then joined in communion
with His Apostles and other disciples, and He calls them at that time "His
sheep;" but to show there was no salvation for them in the state in which
they then were, and unless they were united to the fold, He says, "them
also I must bring, which shows that, according to the disposition of the
Divine decrees, it was absolutely necessary that all who belong to Jesus
Christ, all whom He acknowledges for His sheep, should be brought to, and
united in communion with, that one fold, which is His Church.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
4. In consequence of this, we are assured that, when the
Apostles began to publish the Gospel, "The Lord increased daily together
such as should be saved." Or, as the Protestant translation has it, "The
Lord daily added to the Church such as should be saved," [Acts 2: 47];
which points out in the strongest manner, by what God actually did, that
the being added to the Church is a condition absolutely required by Him in
order to be saved; and if that were so then, it must be so now, and to the
end of the world; for the conditions of salvation, ordained at the
beginning and revealed by Jesus Christ, cannot be altered by any other;
and He has never made any new revelation to alter them Himself.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
5. The Church is the Body of Christ, and all who belong to
the Church are members of His body, and united with Jesus Christ the head;
but those who are out of the Church are not members of His body, nor are
they united with Christ the head. Now, speaking of His Church and her
members under the figure of a vine, with its branches, He says, "I am the
vine, you the branches. He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same
beareth much fruit; for without Me, ye can do nothing. If anyone abide not
in Me, he shall be cast forth as a branch and shall wither, and they shall
gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth." [John 15: 5,
6]. What Christ here says under the figure of a vine is equally true as to
the members and the body; for no member separated from the body can do
anything; it has neither life nor feeling, but falls into corruption:
which expressly shows that if we be not united to the Church of Christ,
whether we consider this Church as a body consisting of the head and
members, or as a vine with its branches, we are not united with Christ,
but on the way to perdition.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<h3 id="sigil_toc_id_5" style="text-align: justify;">
SECTION II: Proofs from the Necessity of True Faith
</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
1. Jesus Christ, addressing Himself to His eternal Father,
says, "Now this is eternal life: that they may know Thee, the only true
God, and Jesus Christ Whom Thou hast sent." [John 17: 3] Hence it
necessarily follows that all those who do not know Jesus Christ cannot
have eternal life. Now, this knowledge of Jesus Christ is not the mere
knowledge that such a person existed, but believing Him to be what He is,
the eternal Son of God, made man for the salvation of mankind; and
therefore He says again, "For God so loved the world as to give His only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him may not perish, but may have
life everlasting." [John 3: 16]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Hence the believing in Jesus Christ is one condition
positively required by God in order for salvation; so that without this
belief there can be no salvation; for, as He Himself again declares, ". .
. he that doth not believe is already judged; because he believeth not in
the name of the only begotten Son of God." [John 3: 18] and ". . . he that
believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on
him." [John 3: 36]. And the beloved disciple adds, "For many seducers are
gone out into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the
flesh; this is a seducer and an anti-Christ." [2 John 1: 7] By which it is
manifest that those who do not know Jesus Christ, and consequently do not
believe in Him, and also those who do know that there was such a Person,
but refuse to believe, and confess that He is the Son of God come in the
flesh, cannot be saved; and therefore, that the knowing and believing in
Jesus Christ is appointed by Almighty God, as an absolute condition of
salvation.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
2. But it is not enough to believe in the Person of Jesus Christ;
it is also required to believe His doctrine, His words, those Divine
truths which He has revealed; and, indeed, how can we believe Him to be
God if we refuse to believe what He says? Hence, when He gave the pastors
of His Church, in the persons of His Apostles, their commission to preach
the Gospel, He ordered them to teach the world "to observe all those
things whatsoever I have commanded you," [Matt. 28: 20]. And He
immediately adds, "He that believeth and is Baptized shall be saved: but
he that believeth not shall be condemned." [Mark 16: 16] — where it is
manifest that the belief of His doctrine, the observance, and consequently
the belief, of all those things which He commanded His Apostles to teach,
is a necessary condition of salvation. Nay, He adds in another part, "For
he that, shall be ashamed of Me, and of My words, in this adulterous and
sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when He
shall come in the glory of His Father, with His holy Angels." [Mark 8: 38]
Now, if being ashamed of His words brings such a condemnation, what will
the denying of them do? It is evident, therefore, that the true Faith of
Jesus Christ comprehends the belief both of His Person and His words —
that is, of His doctrine; and that this Faith is laid down by Almighty God
as a necessary condition of salvation.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
3. As it is impossible that Jesus Christ could reveal
contradictions, or say to one that anything is true, and to another that
it is false, the true Faith of Jesus Christ cannot contain contradictions;
it must be the same everywhere, and in no point contrary to itself. This
the Scripture expressly affirms, "One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism." [Eph.
4: 5] Now, St. Paul positively declares that ". . . without Faith it is
impossible to please God. . . ." [Heb. 11: 6]; consequently this one true
Faith of Jesus Christ is so absolutely required as a condition of
salvation, that without it, let a man do what he will, it is impossible to
please God, or be saved.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
4. The Scripture declares that, when the Apostles published
the truths of the Gospel, ". . . as many as were ordained to everlasting
life believed." [Acts 13: 48]; consequently, those who did not believe
were not ordained to eternal life; whence it evidently follows that Faith
is a condition absolutely required by God for obtaining eternal
life. For St. Paul affirms, "But the sure foundation of God standeth firm,
having this seal: The Lord knoweth who are His; . . ." [2 Tim. 2: 19];
that is to say, God, from all eternity, most certainly knows who are His —
who those are, who, by obeying His holy grace, will continue Faithful to
the end, and be happy with Him forever; and all such He ordains to eternal
life. When, therefore, the Scripture affirms that "as many as were
ordained to eternal life believed," it evidently shows that the belief of
the truths of the Gospel, or true Faith, is appointed by God as a
necessary condition of salvation, as none are so ordained but those who
believe.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
5. Our Blessed Savior, speaking of those who belong to Him, says,
". . . I know mine, and mine know Me. . . . My sheep hear My voice, and I
know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they
shall not perish for ever. " [John 10: 14, 27, 28] Can any words express
more clearly that to know Jesus Christ, and to hear His voice, and follow
Him — that is, to believe and obey Him — are the distinguishing marks of
His sheep, to whom He gives eternal life? Consequently, those who do not
believe Him are none of His, and therefore will not be saved; as He
expressly says to the Jews, "But you do not believe, because you are not
of My sheep." [John 10: 26]; ". . . For if you believe not that I am He,
you shall die in your sin." [John 8: 24]; which shows too, a demonstration
that Faith in Jesus Christ is expressly appointed by Almighty God as a
condition of salvation; "Neither is there salvation in any other. For
there is no other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved." [Acts 4: 12]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
6. St. Paul, expressing that of the Psalmist, "Today if ye
shall hear His voice," etc., says, "And to whom did He swear that they
should not enter into His rest: but to them that were incredulous? And we
see that they could not enter in because of unbelief." [Heb. 3: 18, 19] On
this account he exhorts thus "Take heed, brethren, lest perhaps there be
in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, to depart from the living God."
[Heb. 3: 12]; and again, "There remaineth a day of rest for the people of
God. . . . Let us hasten, therefore, to enter into that rest; lest any man
fall into the same example of unbelief." [Heb. 4: 9, 11]. In all this
passage, the main scope of the Apostle is to show that unbelievers cannot
go to Heaven; and this truth is confirmed by Almighty God even with a
solemn oath.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
7. The Holy Scriptures declare that unbelievers, instead of going to
Heaven, shall be condemned to Hell-fire; and class all such with the worst
of criminals. Thus the Almighty Himself declares to St. John the Apostle,
"but the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and
whoremongers and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, they shall have
their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the
second death." [Apoc. 21: 8]. If, therefore, Almighty God has sworn that
unbelievers shall not enter into His rest, and if He declares that their
portion shall be in Hell, one must shut his eyes not to see that true
belief, true Faith in Jesus Christ and His words — namely, that Faith,
without which it is impossible to please God — is absolutely required by
Almighty God as a condition of salvation.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
8. The Word of God assures us that, antecedently to Faith in
Christ, all mankind are under sin, and that it is impossible to be
justified from sin but by Faith in Jesus Christ, which is set forth by God
as the means of obtaining justification. Thus, ". . . we have charged both
Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin. As it is written: There is
not any man just." [Rom. 3: 9,10] "Even the justice of God, by Faith of
Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon all them that believe in Him: for there
is no distinction. For all have sinned and do need the glory of God. Being
justified freely by His grace, through the redemption, that is in Christ
Jesus, Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation through Faith in His
Blood, . . ." [Rom. 3: 22-25]. Also, ". . . the scripture hath concluded
all under sin that the promise, by the Faith of Jesus Christ might be
given to them that believe." [Gal. 3: 22]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
9. These sacred testimonies of the Word of God are so clear
and convincing, that the Church of England admits and embraces the
Athanasian Creed as containing nothing but Divine truths, and what may be
proved by the most evident tests of Scripture, as is declared in the
eighth of the thirty-nine Articles. Now, the Athanasian Creed begins thus
"Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold
the Catholic Faith, which Faith, except every one do keep whole and
undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlasting." Then, after
explaining the great mysteries of the Catholic Faith concerning the unity
and trinity of God, and the Incarnation and death of Jesus Christ, it
concludes in these words: "This is the Catholic Faith, which, except a man
believe Faithfully, he cannot be saved." This speaks plainly indeed, and
needs no application.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Now, seeing that the true Faith, or the firm belief of those
truths which Jesus Christ revealed, is thus absolutely required as a
condition of salvation, it follows as a natural consequence that out of
the true Church of Christ there is no salvation, because this true Faith
can be found only in the true Church of Christ; to her the sacred charge
of the truths of eternity was committed; the words of Jesus Christ were
first put into her mouth, and an express covenant made by God, That they
should never depart from her mouth. It is therefore from the pastors of
the Church alone we can learn the true Faith, since they alone are
authorized to preach it, and in hearing them we hear Christ Himself. Hence
St. Paul says, "How then shall they call on Him in Whom they have not
believed? . . . And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall
they preach unless they be sent, . . ." [Rom. 10: 14, 15]. Now, the
pastors of the Church were ordained and sent by Jesus Christ to "teach all
nations, and to preach the Gospel to every creature," consequently it is
only from them that the truths of the Gospel can be learned.

SECTION III: Proofs, with regard to those who are separated from the
Church
</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
In this section we are to consider what judgment the
Scriptures pronounce on all who are separated from the Church of Christ by
teaching and believing doctrines contrary to hers; and, for the greater
clearness, we shall consider first those who begin such separation, and
teach false doctrine, and then those who follow such leaders. With regard
to the former:
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
1. Our blessed Savior, foretelling the coming of false
teachers, says, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves, by their fruits ye shall
know them;" and then He tells us, going on with the similitude of a tree,
what shall be the portion of such false prophets. "Every tree that
bringeth not forth good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire,"
[Mat. 7: 15,19]. Such is the fate of false teachers, according to Jesus
Christ. St. Paul describes them in the same light, and exhorts the pastors
of the Church to watch against them, that they may prevent the seduction
of the flock. "I know that after my departure ravenous wolves shall enter
in among you, not sparing the flock: and of your own selves shall arise
men speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them; therefore
watch," [Acts 20: 29]. Such is the idea the Word of God gives of all who
depart from the doctrine of the Church of Christ, and teach falsehood;
they are ravenous wolves, seducers of the people, who speak perverse
things, and whose end is Hell-fire.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
2. St. Paul, concluding his Epistle to the Romans, warns them
against such teachers in these words: "Now, I beseech you, brethren, to
mark them who cause dissensions and offenses contrary to the doctrine
which ye have learned, and to avoid them: for they that are such serve not
Christ our Lord, but their own belly, and by pleasing speeches and good
words seduce the hearts of the innocent," [Rom. 16: 17]. Can such as
these, who cause dissensions contrary to the ancient doctrine, and seduce
the souls redeemed by the Blood of Jesus, who are not servants of Christ,
but His enemies, and are slaves to their own belly — can these, I say, be
in the way of salvation? Alas! the same holy Apostle describes their fate
in another text, saying, "That they are enemies of the Cross of Christ,
whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in
their shame," [Philip. 3: 18].
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
3. In St. Paul's absence some false teachers had come in
among the Galatians, and persuaded them that it was necessary for
salvation to join circumcision with the Gospel; on this account the
Apostle writes his epistle to correct this error; and though it was but an
error on one point, and apparently, not of great importance, yet, because
it was false doctrine, the holy Apostle condemns it: "I wonder how you are
so soon removed from him that called you to the grace of Christ, unto
another Gospel: which is not another; only there are some that trouble
you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But though we, or an Angel
from Heaven, preach a Gospel to you besides that which we have preached to
you, let him be accursed. As we, I said before, I say now again, if anyone
preach to you a Gospel besides that which ye have received, let him be
accursed," [Gal. 1: 6]. This shows, indeed, the crime and fate of false
teachers, though their doctrine was false only on a single point.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
4. St. Peter describes these unhappy men in the most dreadful
colors. "There shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring sects of
perdition" [or, as the Protestant translation has it, damnable heresies],
"and deny the Lord who bought them, bringing on them their destruction
slumbereth not," [ver. 3]. "The Lord knoweth how . . . to reserve the
unjust unto the day of Judgment to be tormented; and especially them who .
. . despise governments, audacious, pleasing themselves, they fear not to
bring in sects blaspheming," [ver. 9] leaving the right way, they have
gone astray, [ver. 15]. "These are wells without water, and clouds tossed
with whirlwinds to whom the mist of darkness is reserved," [ver. 17]. Good
God! what a dreadful state to be in!
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
5. St. Paul, speaking of such as are led away by what St.
Peter calls damnable heresies, says, "A man that is a heretic, after the
first and second admonition, avoid; knowing that he that is such and one
is subverted and sinneth being condemned by his own judgment," [Tit. 3:
10]. Other offenders are judged and cast out of the Church by the sentence
of the pastors; but heretics, more unhappy, leave the Church of their own
accord, and by so doing give judgment and sentence against their own
souls.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
6. St. John brands all such false teachers who go out from
the true Church of Christ with the name of Anti-Christs. "Even now," says
he, "there are become many Anti-Christs. . . . They went out from us, but
they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have
remained with us; but that they may be manifest that they are not all of
us," [1 John 2: 18]. And again he says, "Many seducers are gone out into
the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh; this is
a seducer and an antichrist," [2 John, ver. 7].
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
And to show that not only, those who deny the Divinity of Jesus Christ,
but also those who do not embrace His doctrine, fall under the same
condemnation, he immediately adds, "Whosoever revolteth, and continueth
not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that continueth in the
doctrine, the same hath both the Father and the Son," [ver. 9]. What
stronger terms could be used to show that all who are separated from the
Church of Christ, and receive not His sacred doctrine, are out of the way
of salvation?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Now, if all who break off from the Church of Christ, and teach false
doctrine, contrary to the faith once revealed to her, and which shall
never depart out of her mouth, are condemned in such strong and severe
terms by the Holy Ghost in His Holy Scriptures, in what condition must
those be who follow these false teachers, and hold such pernicious
doctrine? Is there the smallest reason to suppose that salvation can
possibly be found among "ravenous wolves, seducers of the flock, speakers
of perverse things?" Is it possible to be saved in "pernicious sects,
damnable heresies, false doctrines, dissensions, and offenses contrary to
the doctrine received from the Apostles"? Can those be safe guides to
Heaven whom the Word of God declares to be "enemies of the Cross of
Christ," and "antichrists, whose end is destruction," who fall under the
curse of the Apostle, "to whom the mist of darkness is reserved?" But let
us hear the Scripture itself for the answer to these questions.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(1) St. Paul, in the black catalog he gives of the works of the flesh,
reckons sects, or, as the Protestant translation has it, heresies, as one
of them; and, classing this with idolatry, witchcraft, and dissensions, he
concludes, in these words, — "Of which I foretell you, as I have foretold
to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God."
[Gal. 5: 20]
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_8" style="text-align: justify;">
those seduced by false prophets not saved
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(2) Our Savior, foretelling the evils of the latter times, says, "And many
false prophets shall arise, and shall seduce many . . . but he that shall
persevere to the end, he shall be saved," [Mat. 24: 11, 13]. Is it not
evident from this that those who are seduced by these false prophets shall
not be saved? And that salvation will be the happy lot only of those who
persevere in the faith, and love of Christ to the end?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(3) St. Peter, foretelling that "there shall be lying
teachers, who shall bring in damnable heresies, and bring upon themselves
swift destruction," immediately adds, "and many shall follow their
riotousness" [or, as the Protestant translation has it, their pernicious
ways], "through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of," [2 Pet. 2:
2]. Now, to whom are these ways pernicious but to those who follow them?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(4) The whole Epistle of St. Jude contains a description of
all those who follow these pernicious ways, and of their miserable fate,
and says, "That they are raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own
confusion; wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for
ever," [ver. 13].
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(5) St. Paul declares, "That in the last times some shall
depart from the Faith, giving heed to spirits of error and doctrines of
devils, speaking lies in hypocrisy, and having their consciences seared,"
[1 Tim. 4: 1]. Can any one imagine salvation possible to those who follow
the spirit of error as their guide, and embrace the doctrine of devils?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(6) The same holy Apostle, giving an ample description of
heretics, says, among other things, that they have an appearance of
godliness, but deny the power thereof; ever learning, and never attaining
the knowledge of the truth: . . . that they are men of corrupt minds,
reprobate concerning the faith: . . . and that being evil men and
seducers, they grow worse and worse; erring, and driving into error," [2
Tim. 3: 5]. What grounds can such as these have to expect salvation?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(7) But our blessed Savior in one short sentence clearly
shows the miserable fate of all those who follow these teachers when He
says, "They are blind leaders of the blind; and if the blind lead the
blind, both shall fall into the pit," [Mat. 15: 14]; which evidently shows
that the lot of both shall be the same, and that all the above
condemnations of false teachers equally apply to such as follow them.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(8) These testimonies of Scripture are so strong and
convincing that the Church of England fairly acknowledges the truth of
what they contain, and in the eighteenth of her Thirty-nine Articles
declares, "That those ARE TO BE HAD ACCURSED that presume to say that
every man shall be saved by the law or sect which he professeth, so that
he be diligent to frame his life according to that law and the light of
nature; for the Holy Scripture doth set out to us only the name of Jesus
Christ, whereby man must be saved." And we have evidently seen above that
salvation can never be had in Him without believing, the sacred doctrine
which He revealed to the world.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(9) We shall add one more proof with regard to Jews,
Muhammadans, heathens, and idolaters, and all who know not the true God,
nor Jesus Christ His Son, and who do not obey His Gospel. Of these the
Scripture says: "The Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which
they prepared . . . The wicked shall be turned into Hell, and the nations
that forget God," [Ps. 9: 16,18]. "The Lord shall reign to eternity; yea,
forever and ever. Ye Gentiles [the heathens] shall perish from His land,"
[Ps. 10: 16]. But particularly what follows: — "Jesus Christ shall be
revealed from Heaven with the Angels of His power in a flame of fire,
yielding vengeance to them who know not God, and who obey not the Gospel
of our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall suffer eternal punishment in
destruction from the face of Our Lord, and from the glory of His power,"
[2 Thess. 1: 7]. This is no less clear and precise than it is dreadful and
terrible, and cuts off all ground of evasion, as it declares in express
terms that all who know not God, and who obey not the Gospel of Christ,
shall be lost forever; which evidently shows that the knowledge and belief
of God, and of Jesus Christ, and obedience to His Gospel, are absolutely
required by Him as essential conditions of salvation.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 2. These proofs are all very strong indeed, but what is
the result of all these reasonings and Scripture testimonies?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. The consequence is self-evident that, since salvation cannot be
had in any sect separated in faith from the Church of Christ, and teaching
false doctrine, therefore the Church of Christ is the only way appointed
by Almighty God in which we can be saved, and that out of her communion
there is no ordinary possibility of salvation.
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_9" style="text-align: justify;">
what God can do and what God has done
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 3. Why do you say ordinary possibility of salvation? Is
there any reason to suppose that God has reserved any extraordinary means
of salvation for some who are not joined in communion with the Church of
Christ by the true Faith?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. No doubt it is [absolutely speaking] <i>possible</i> for
God to save men by any means He pleases; and He could have saved all
mankind through the merits of anyone thing that Jesus Christ did or
suffered, without requiring such a severe sacrifice from Him as His death
upon the Cross. But what God can do in this respect is nothing to our
purpose: the great question is what He has done. Now, we see from the
whole tenor of revelation that God has appointed true Faith in Jesus
Christ, and the being a member of His Church, as conditions of salvation;
that He has appointed them as essential conditions, so that none
<i>will</i> or <i>can</i> be saved without them; that the Word of God
points out no other possible means; that whatever
<i>extraordinary</i> means He may sometimes use to bring people to His
Church, yet, according to what He has said in the above texts, it is
impossible He can have reserved any extraordinary means of salvation for
those who live and die not joined in communion with the Church of Christ
by true Faith, otherwise He would contradict Himself, which is impossible.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
For instance, these two express declarations of Scripture,
"The Lord daily added to the Church such as should be saved," and "as many
as were ordained to eternal life believed," would not be true if there was
any possibility for those to be saved who were not added to the Church, or
did not believe. The same is equally true of the other texts, as will
appear on considering them.

<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_12" style="text-align: justify;">
uncharitable doctrine? true charity
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 4. Is it not a very uncharitable doctrine, to say that none can be
saved out of the Church, or who do not believe as the Church does?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. If this doctrine were a mere human opinion, or the result
indeed of human reasoning, it might be called uncharitable; but it is a
doctrine into which mere human reason does not enter. It is a point which
depends solely on the will of the Almighty; and the only question is to
know what He has been pleased to decide concerning it. Now, His Holy
Scriptures declare in the plainest terms that He has been pleased to
ordain that none shall be saved out of the Church of Christ, or without
the true Faith; and who shall dare to say, a doctrine taught and declared
by God is uncharitable?
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_13" style="text-align: justify;">
God is not obliged to save anyone
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
But the mistake into which many fall arises from not reflecting that God
is not obliged to save anyone. He pursued the fallen Angels with the
utmost rigor of justice, and He could justly have treated man in the same
manner. If, therefore, He is pleased to offer salvation to mankind through
the merits of Jesus Christ, this is the effect of His infinite mercy; and
as He is perfect master of His Own gifts, He is at full liberty to require
whatever conditions He pleases for bestowing them upon us. Now, the whole
tenor of His revealed will declares that He requires our being members of
His Church, and having the true Faith of Jesus Christ, as indispensable
conditions of salvation and who shall dare to find fault with Him for
doing so? Or who shall say, it is uncharitable to think and believe what
He has so expressly and so repeatedly declared in His Holy Scriptures?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Observe further, that it is not the Catholic Church alone
that holds this doctrine. We have seen that the founders of the Protestant
Church of Scotland hold, in express terms, that "out of the true Church of
Christ there is no ordinary possibility of salvation," and have inserted
it as an article of their Faith in the public authentic standard of their
religion, the "Confession of Faith," which all her ministers must
subscribe.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The Church of England also, in the same manner, declares, as
an article of her Creed, "That except a man do keep the Catholic faith
whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly;" and
assures her members that this Creed can be proved by the most evident
texts of Holy Scripture; which, therefore, all her ministers must
subscribe. Moreover, she affirms that "those are to be accursed who
presume to say that every man (even though he be not in the true Faith of
Jesus Christ) shall be saved by the law or sect which he professeth."
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
If, therefore, this doctrine be deemed uncharitable, the Churches
both of England and Scotland must evidently fall under the condemnation.
It is true, indeed, that, though the founders of these Churches, convinced
by the repeated and evident testimonies of the Word of God, professed this
truth, and inserted it in the public standards of their religion, yet
their posterity now disclaim it, and accuse the Catholic Church of being
uncharitable for holding it; but this only shows their inconsistency, and
proves that they are devoid of all certainty in what they believe; for if
it was a Divine truth, when these religions were founded, that out of the
true Church, and without the Catholic Faith, there is no salvation, it
must be so still, and if their first founders were mistaken on this point,
what security can their followers now have for any other thing they
taught?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
But the Catholic Church, always consistent and uniform in her
doctrine, always preserving the words once put in her mouth by her Divine
Master, at all times and in all ages has believed and taught the same
doctrine as a truth revealed by God, that "out of the true Church of
Christ, and without His true Faith, there is no possibility of salvation;"
and the most authentic public testimony of her enemies proves that this is
the doctrine of Jesus, and of His holy gospel, whatever private persons,
from selfish and interested motives, may say to the contrary. Neither is
she afraid of being thought uncharitable on this account. On the contrary,
she considers it the height of charity to warn men of their danger, in an
affair of such immense importance as is that of their eternal salvation;
and, with compassion for their situation, she uses every means in her
power, particularly fervent prayer to God, for the conversion of all who
are out of the true way, that they may be brought to the knowledge of the
truth, and be saved.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
This is true charity; for charity is a virtue of the heart,
which causes a man to love his neighbor's soul, and endeavor to promote
his salvation; and only that opinion deserves to be called charitable
which tends to excite and promote this disposition; whereas the contrary,
which renders a man careless and indifferent about his neighbor's soul, is
truly uncharitable.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
It is plain, therefore, that the charge of being uncharitable
is only misrepresentation and slander, employed to render the Catholic
Church and her doctrine odious. Her enemies saw that want of charity was a
crime shocking to every well-disposed mind, and must excite odium and
aversion, if charged on her. They knew their followers, who were ever
ready to believe anything against her, would take no pains to examine the
grounds for such a charge — would take it for granted that she was guilty
upon their bold assertion; and the result has verified their opinion. But
the smallest attention must show that her conduct is the effect of genuine
charity. Was St. Paul uncharitable when he declared that "neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, etc., shall possess the
kingdom of God?" [1 Cor. 6: 9]; or when he pronounced "a curse upon
anyone, though an Angel from Heaven, who should preach any other gospel
than what he had
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
preached?" [Gal. 1: 8] Quite the contrary: it was his ardent charity and
zeal for their salvation which made him so earnest in warning them of
their danger.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
How then can the Catholic Church be deemed uncharitable for
only saying what He declares, and from the same charitable motive? An
unfavorable opinion she certainly has of all those who are not of her
communion; but to call this uncharitable, is a mere imposition on the
unreflecting.
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_14" style="text-align: justify;">
dictates of conscience sufficient?
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 5. But if a man act according to the dictates of his conscience, and
follow exactly the light of reason which God has implanted in him for his
guide, is that not sufficient to bring him to salvation?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. This is, indeed, a specious proposition; but a fallacy
lurks under it. When man was created, his reason was then an enlightened
reason. Illuminated by the grace of original righteousness, with which his
soul was adorned, reason and conscience were safe guides to conduct him in
the way of salvation. But by sin this light was miserably darkened, and
his reason clouded by ignorance and error. It was not, indeed, entirely
extinguished; it still clearly teaches him many great truths, but it is at
present so influenced by pride, passion, prejudice, and other such corrupt
motives, that in many instances it serves only to confirm him in error, by
giving an appearance of reason to the suggestions of self-love and
passion. This is too commonly the case even in natural things; but in the
supernatural, in things relating to God and eternity, our reason, if left
to itself, is miserably blind. To remedy this, God has given us the light
of Faith as a sure and safe guide to conduct us to salvation, appointing
His Holy Church the guardian and depository of this heavenly light;
consequently, though a man may pretend to act according to reason and
conscience, and even flatter himself that he does so, yet reason and
conscience, if not enlightened and guided by True Faith, can never bring
him to salvation.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 6. Does Holy Scripture give any light in this matter?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. Nothing can be more striking than the words of Holy Scripture. "There
is a way," says the wise man, "that seemeth right to a man, but the ends
thereof lead to death," [Prov. 14: 12]. This is repeated, [Prov. 16: 25].
What can be more plain than this, to show that a man may act according to
what he thinks the light of reason and conscience, persuaded he is doing
right, and yet, in fact, be only running on in the way to perdition? And
do not all those who are seduced by false prophets, and false teachers,
think they are in the right way? Is it not under the pretext of acting
according to conscience that they are seduced? And yet the Mouth of Truth
itself has declared, that "if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall
into the pit," [Matt. 15: 14].
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
In order to show us to what excess of wickedness man may go under the
pretense of following his conscience, the same Eternal Truth says to His
Apostles, "The hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he
doth God a service," [John 16: 2]; but observe what He adds, — "And these
things will they do, because they have not known the Father nor Me," [ver.
3]. Which shows that if one has not the true knowledge of God and of Jesus
Christ, which can be obtained only through True Faith, there is no
enormity of which he is not capable while thinking he is acting according
to reason and conscience. Had we only the light of reason to direct us, we
would be justified in following it; but as God has given us an external
guide in His Holy Church, to assist and correct our blinded reason by the
light of Faith, our reason alone, unassisted by this guide, can never be
sufficient for salvation.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Nothing will set this in a clearer light than a few examples.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Conscience tells a heathen that it is not only lawful, but a duty to
worship and offer sacrifice to idols, the work of men's hands. Will his
doing so, according to his conscience, save him? Or will these acts of
idolatry be innocent or agreeable in the sight of God, because they are
performed, according to conscience? The answer which the Word of God gives
to this question; to which add that of the wise man, — The idol that is
made by hands is cursed, as well as he that made it, for that which is
made, together with him that made it, shall suffer torments," [Wis. 14: 8,
10]; also, "He that sacrificeth to gods shall be put to death, save only
to the Lord," [Exod. 22: 20].
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
In like manner, a Jew's conscience tells him that he may lawfully and
meritoriously blaspheme Jesus Christ, and approve the conduct of his
forefathers in putting Him to death upon a tree. Will such blasphemy save
him, because it is according to the dictates of his conscience? The Holy
Ghost by the mouth of St. Paul says, "If any man love not our Lord Jesus
Christ, let him be anathema," that is, "accursed,"
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[1 Cor. 16: 22].</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A Mahometan is taught by his conscience that it would be a crime to
believe in Jesus Christ, and not believe in Mahomet; will this impious
conscience save him? The Scripture assures us that "there is no other name
given to men under Heaven by which we can be saved," but the name of Jesus
only; and "he that believeth not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath
of God remaineth on him."
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
All the various sects which have been separated from the True Church, in
every age, have uniformly calumniated and slandered her, speaking evil of
the truth professed by her, believing in their conscience that this was
not only lawful, but highly meritorious. Will calumnies and slanders
against the Church of Jesus Christ save them because of their approving
conscience? The Word of God declares, "That the nation and the kingdom
that will not serve her shall perish" and "there shall be lying teachers
who shall bring in damnable heresies, bringing upon themselves swift
destruction, through how the way of truth shall be evil spoken of," [2
Pet. 2: 1].
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
In all these, and similar cases, their conscience is their greatest crime,
and shows to what a height of impiety conscience and reason can lead us,
when under the influence of pride, passion, prejudice, and self-love.
Conscience and reason, therefore, can never be safe guides to salvation,
unless directed by the sacred light of revealed truth.

<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_16" style="text-align: justify;">
invincible ignorance
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 7. But suppose a person to be invincibly ignorant of the Faith of Jesus
Christ and His Church, will not this invincible ignorance save him?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. This is also a very specious proposition, and I am afraid
that from not being properly considered it is an occasion of a dangerous
mistake to many; we shall therefore endeavor to examine it thoroughly. And
here we must observe, that two different questions are commonly mixed
together when people speak of invincible ignorance: the first is, Will a
person who is invincibly ignorant of the true Faith or Church of Christ be
condemned precisely on account of that ignorance? That is, will that
ignorance be imputed to him as a crime? Or will this his invincible
ignorance excuse him from the guilt of not believing? To this I
reply, that as no man can be guilty of a sin in not doing what is
absolutely out of his power, therefore a person who is invincibly ignorant
of the true Faith and Church of Christ will not be condemned on account of
that ignorance; such ignorance will not be imputed to him as a crime, but
will undoubtedly excuse him from the guilt of disbelief: in this all
divines agree without doubt or hesitation. A heathen, for example, who
never heard of Jesus Christ, will not be condemned as criminal precisely
for want of Faith in Him; a heretic who has never had any knowledge of the
True Church of Christ will not be condemned as guilty because he is not
joined in communion with that Church. So far, the first question admits of
no dispute. The second question is this, Can a person invincibly ignorant
of the True Faith or Church of Jesus, and living and dying, in that state,
be saved? This is a highly important but a very different question from
the former, though too frequently confounded with it. Now, to answer this
question clearly and distinctly we must consider two different cases:
first, that of Mahometans, Jews, and heathens, who, never having heard of
Jesus Christ or of His religion, are invincibly ignorant of it; and,
secondly, that of all the different sects of Christians who are separated
from the True Church of Christ by heresy.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 8. What then is to be said of all those Mahometans, Jews,
and heathens, who, never having heard of Jesus Christ or of His religion,
are therefore invincibly ignorant of both? Can they be saved, if they live
and die in that state?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. The plain answer to this is that they cannot be saved;
that not one of these "can enter into the kingdom of God." It is true, as
we have seen above, they will not be condemned precisely because they have
not the faith of Christ, of which they are invincibly ignorant. But the
faith of Christ, though an essential condition of salvation, is but one
condition; others also are required.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
And though invincible ignorance will certainly save a man from sin, in not
knowing that of which he is invincibly ignorant, yet it is impossible to
suppose that this invincible ignorance on one point will supply the want
of all other conditions required. Now, all those we here speak of are in
the state of Original Sin, "aliens from God, and children of wrath," being
unBaptized; and it is an article of Christian Faith, that, unless Original
Sin be washed away by the grace of Baptism, there is no salvation; for
Christ Himself expressly declares, "Amen, amen, I say to thee, except a
man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God," [John 3: 5]. And, indeed, if even the children of
Christian parents, who die without Baptism, cannot go to Heaven, how much
less can those who, besides being unBaptized, live and die in ignorance of
the true God, of Jesus Christ and His Faith, and, on that account, may be
supposed to have also committed many actual sins. Nay, to imagine that
heathens, Mahometans, or Jews who live and die in that state can be saved,
is to suppose that ignorance will save worshipers of idols, of Mahomet,
and blasphemers of Jesus Christ, in the guilt of actual as well as
Original Sin; which is putting them upon a better footing than Christians
themselves and their children. The fate of all such the Scripture decides
as follows: "The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from Heaven, with the Angel
of His power, in a flame of fire, yielding vengeance to them who know not
God, and who obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall
suffer eternal punishment in destruction, from the face of the Lord and
from the glory of His power," [2 Thess. 1: 7]. This is precise, indeed — a
clear and decisive answer to the present question.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 9. What judgment does the Scripture pass on all those
Christians who are separated from the Church by heresy? Can they be saved
if they be in invincible ignorance, and live and die in their state of
separation from the True Church of Christ?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. These are in a very different state from Mahometans, Jews,
and heathens, provided they have true Baptism among them; for if they
either have no Baptism, or have altered the form of giving it ordained by
Christ, then they are in no better state as to the possibility of their
salvation than heathens, though they may assume the name of Christians.
But if they have valid Baptism, then they are, by it, made true members of
the Church of Christ, and those who die young, in their Baptismal
innocence, shall undoubtedly be saved. But as to those among them who come
to the years of discretion, are educated in a false faith, and live and
die in a state of separation from the communion of the Church of Christ,
we also must distinguish between two different cases. The first is that of
those who either live among Catholics or have Catholics living in the same
country with them; who know there are such persons, and often hear of
them. The second regards those who have no such knowledge, and who seldom
or never hear Catholics spoken of except in a false and odious light.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 10. What is to be said of those who live among Catholics?
If they be in invincible ignorance, and die in their state of separation,
can they be saved?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. It is next to impossible for anyone of this class to be
in a state of invincible ignorance; for, to be invincibly ignorant, three
things are necessarily required, — first, that a person have a real and
sincere desire of knowing the truth; for if he be cold and indifferent
about an affair of such importance as his eternal salvation; if he be
careless whether he be in the right way or not; if, enslaved to this
present life, he take no concern about the next, it is manifest that an
ignorance arising from this disposition is voluntary ignorance, and
therefore highly culpable in the sight of God. It will be still more so if
a person be positively unwilling to seek the truth from the fear of
worldly inconvenience, and therefore avoid every opportunity of knowing
it. Of these the Scripture says, "They spend their days in wealth, and in
a moment they go down to Hell; who have said to God, Depart from us, we
desire not the knowledge of Thy ways," [Job 21: 13]. Secondly, In order
that one be invincibly ignorant, it is required, that he be sincerely
resolved to embrace the truth wherever he may find it, and whatever it may
cost him. For if he be not fully resolved to follow the will of God,
wherever it shall appear in all things necessary to salvation if, on the
contrary, he, be so disposed that he rather would neglect his duty and
hazard his soul than offend his friends or expose himself to some temporal
loss or disadvantage, his ignorance is culpable, and can never excuse him
before his Creator. Of this Our Savior says, "He that loveth father or
mother, or son or daughter, more than Me, is not worthy of Me," [Matt. 10:
37]. The third thing necessary for a person to be in invincible ignorance
is, that he sincerely use his best endeavors to know his duty, and
particularly, that he recommend the matter earnestly to Almighty God, and
pray for light and direction from Him. For, whatever desire he may have of
knowing the truth, if he does not use the proper means of finding it, his
ignorance is not invincible but voluntary. Ignorance is invincible only
when a person has a sincere desire to know the truth, with a full
resolution to embrace it, but. either has no possible means of knowing it,
or after using his best endeavors, is unable to discover it. Therefore, if
a person be deficient in seeking to know his duty, his ignorance is not
invincible — it is his own fault that he does not know it; and if
inattention, indifference, worldly motives, or unjust prejudices influence
his judgment, and cause it to yield to the bias of education, he has
neither invincible ignorance nor the fear of God.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Now, it is inconsistent with the goodness, and promises of
God, that a person brought up in a false religion, but who is in the state
supposed by these three conditions, and uses his best endeavors to know
the truth, should be left in invincible ignorance of it; but if, from his
attachment to the world, to sensual or selfish objects, he be not so
disposed, and neglect the proper means for arriving at the truth, then his
ignorance is voluntary and culpable, not invincible.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 11. But what if doubt never rises in his mind, and he goes on
<i>bona fide</i>, in the way in which he was brought up?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. It is a mistake to suppose that a formal doubt is
necessary to render one's ignorance of his duty voluntary and culpable; it
is enough that there be sufficient reason for doubting, though from his
unjust prejudices, obstinacy, pride, or other evil dispositions of the
heart, he hinder these reasons from exciting a formal doubt in his mind.
Saul had no doubt when he offered sacrifice before the prophet Samuel
came; on the contrary, he was persuaded that he had the strongest reasons
for doing so, yet he was condemned for that very action, and himself and
his family rejected by Almighty God. The Jews believed that they were
acting well when they put our Savior to death; nay, their high priest
declared in full council that it was expedient for the good and safety of
the nation that they should do so. They were grossly mistaken, indeed, and
sadly ignorant of their duty; but their ignorance was culpable, and they
were severely condemned for what they did, though it was done in
ignorance. And indeed all who act from a false and erroneous conscience
are highly blamable for having such a conscience, though they have never
entertained any formal doubt. Nay, their not having such a doubt when they
have just and solid grounds for doubting, rather renders them the more
guilty, because it shows greater corruption of the heart, greater
depravity of disposition. A person brought, up in a false faith which the
Scripture calls sects of perdition, doctrines of devils, perverse things,
lies, and hypocrisy — and who has heard of the True Church of Christ,
which condemns all these sects, and sees their divisions and dissensions
has always before his eyes the strongest reason to doubt the safety of his
own state.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
If he make any examination with sincere dispositions of
heart, he must be convinced that he is in the wrong; and the more he
examines, the more clearly will he see it, — for this plain reason, that
it is simply impossible that false doctrine, lies, and hypocrisy should
ever be supported by solid arguments sufficient to satisfy a reasonable
person, who sincerely seeks the truth, and begs light from God to direct
him in the search. Hence, if such a person never doubts, but goes on, as
is supposed, bona fide, in his own way, notwithstanding the strong grounds
of doubt which he daily has before his eyes, this evidently shows either
that he is supinely negligent in the concerns of his soul, or that his
heart is totally blinded by passion and prejudice.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
There were many such persons among the Jews and heathens in
the time of the Apostles, who notwithstanding the splendid light of truth
which these holy preachers everywhere displayed, and which was the most
powerful reason for leading them to doubt of their superstitions, were so
far from having such doubts, that they thought by killing the Apostles
they did God a service. Whence did this arise? St. Paul himself informs
us: "We renounce," says he, "the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking
in craftiness, nor adulterating the Word of God, but, by manifestation of
the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of
God." Here he describes the strange light of the truth which he preached;
yet this light was hidden to great numbers, and he immediately gives the
reason: "And if our gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost;
in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that
the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God,
should not shine upon them," [2 Cor. 4: 2]. Behold the real cause of their
incredulity: they are so enslaved to the things of this world by the
depravity of their heart, and the devil so blinds them that they cannot
see the light; but ignorance arising from such depraved dispositions is a
guilty, a voluntary ignorance and therefore never can excuse them.

<h3 id="sigil_toc_id_17" style="text-align: justify;">PART 5</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 12. Are not the members of the Church of Christ, also, when of
sufficient age, obliged to examine whether they be in the right way or
not, as well as those who are brought up in any sect separated from the
True Church?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. There is nothing which the Church of Christ has more
earnestly desired, than that her children should be thoroughly instructed
in their religion, and in the grounds of it, as far as they are capable.
For this end she strictly commands her pastors to be assiduous in
instructing their people from their earliest years, well knowing that the
more they know of their religion, the more they must be attached to it.
The True Church of Christ is the work of God, the doctrine she teaches
contains the truths of God; now, the more attentively truth is examined,
the more illustrious it must appear; and Almighty God has given such
splendid testimony to the truth of His religion, that the more it is
examined with sincerity, the more it convinces and delights. Here, then,
lies the difference: when a member of the Church of Christ considers his
religion, he cannot have any reasonable grounds of doubt concerning it,
and the more he examines, the more convinced he must be of its truth. But
one brought up in a false religion, if he thinks at all, cannot fail to
perceive the strongest grounds of doubt; and the more he examines, the
more its falsehood must appear, for falsehood can never bear the light of
unbiased and impartial examination.
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_18" style="text-align: justify;">
good life in eyes of world, blameable in sight of God
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 13. But how comes it that we see many good men and men of
learning among all sects of Christians, some of which must undoubtedly be
false, as they contradict and condemn one another?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. To understand this we must observe that the Word of God
declares that God wills, "all men to be saved, and to come to the
knowledge of the truth." [1 Tim. 2: 4] In consequence of this sincere
desire God never fails to give to all such outward helps and inward graces
as He sees sufficient to bring them to the knowledge of the truth, if they
co-operate with them; but if they shut their eyes against His light — if,
from the corruption of their heart, they pay no regard to His graces —
then they remain in their ignorance; but their ignorance is voluntary in
its cause, and a just punishment of their own fault.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Now, though many of those who are brought up in a false
religion may not live good lives as to moral honesty in the eyes of the
world, yet they may be very blamable in the sight of God, and, their
secret passions and attachments to the things of this life, may put an
effectual obstacle to His merciful design of bringing them to the
knowledge of His truth. The proud Pharisee was a just man in the eyes of
the world, and yet he was condemned by Almighty God for the secret pride
of his heart. And as to men of learning who are to be found in a false
religion, their learning does not exempt them from pride and passion; nay,
the Word of God assures us that "knowledge puffeth up;" [1 Cor. 8: 1] and,
generally speaking, where there is not true humility and the love of God,
the more learning there is, the more pride, self-conceit, desire of glory,
and obstinacy of heart, and consequently the more opposition to Faith; for
Jesus Christ Himself says to the Jews, whose hardened hearts resisted all
the evidence of His doctrine and miracles, "How can ye believe who receive
glory from one another, and the glory which is from God alone ye do not
seek?" [John 5: 44]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
There were, no doubt, many learned people both among the Jews
and Gentiles when the gospel was first preached by the Apostles, and yet,
notwithstanding the numberless miracles which they wrought in proof of its
being from God, St. Paul expressly tells us that it was "to the Jews a
stumbling block, and to the Gentiles foolishness;" [1 Cor. 1: 23] because,
notwithstanding all their learning, their pride, passions and prejudices
so blinded their minds, that the light of the gospel shone upon them in
vain. It is no matter of surprise, therefore, to see learned men in a
false religion, especially as their learning is commonly of a worldly
kind, for Faith is a gift of God; and it is not the knowledge of the head,
but humility and sincerity of the heart, which disposes a soul to receive
that gift from Him; yea, Christ Himself expressly says, "that God hides
these things from the wise and prudent, and reveals them to little ones."
[Mat. 11: 25] We must conclude, then, that among those who are brought up
in a false religion, and separated from the Church of Christ, but who know
that there is a Church which declares herself to be the only True Church
of Christ, who have the opportunity of hearing of her, and of being
acquainted with those of her Communion, it is highly improbable invincible
ignorance can have any place. But if any should be found among them
invincibly ignorant, their state will be the same as that of persons who
have never had an opportunity of knowing any other than the false religion
they are in.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 14. What, then, is to be said of those who, being brought
up in a false religion, have no opportunity of hearing of the True Church
and Faith of Christ, or who hear of it only in a false and odious light?
Can such as these be saved if they live and die in their separation from
the Communion of the Church of Christ, and in invincible ignorance of the
truth?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. The learned author of the book called Charity and Truth,
who seems willing to go as far as possible in favor of those who are not
joined in the Communion of the Church of Christ, candidly owns, that it is
quite uncertain if any such shall be saved, even though in invincible
ignorance; for in laying down the true state of the question, he says,
"The meaning is that no one is saved unless he be in the Catholic
Communion either actually or virtually, either in fact or in desire; and
that we are not sure, generally speaking, that anyone is saved out of the
Catholic Church, who is invincibly ignorant of the True Church, and of the
True Religion (Part 1, Q. 3.) The fact is, there is not one single
testimony of the Holy Scripture which gives reason to think that anyone
will be saved out of that Communion; but there are many, as we have seen
above, which very strongly declare the contrary.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
All the reasons which are brought in favor of those who are
out of the Church, are taken from imaginary cases and from our imperfect
ideas of the goodness of God, or from the idea which some form to
themselves of what is meant by being a member of the True Church; and
those people of whom we speak in the present question afford the principal
grounds of these reasonings.
</p>
<h3 id="sigil_toc_id_19" style="text-align: justify;">
strongest reason to doubt if there ever were such a case
</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
This is the line of argument. Suppose a man born and Baptized
in a heretical sect, and afterwards, when he comes of age, to be placed in
such circumstances as prevent his ever hearing of the True Religion,
except in such false and odious terms as serve only to make him detest it,
and to make him more and more attached to his own way, and, on this
account, to be in invincible ignorance of the truth: it is acknowledged by
all, that this man, by Baptism, is made a member of the Church of Christ,
and that, if he die before he comes to the use of reason, he will
certainly be saved in his Baptismal innocence. Let us now suppose further,
that, when he comes to age, he continues to live an innocent life, and,
co-operating with the graces which God bestows upon him, perseveres in his
innocence, and does his best, according to his knowledge, and would do
better if he knew it: is it not inconsistent with the goodness of God to
suppose that such a man, living and dying in this state, would be lost? Is
he not, in the sight of God, a real member of the Church of Christ, though
not joined in her Communion? And, if he die in his innocence, must he not
be saved?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Such is the argument proposed; and it has a specious
appearance. But it must be observed that there is the strongest reason to
doubt if there ever was, or ever shall be, such a case.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(1) There is not the smallest ground in Scripture to suppose it.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(2) As it is impossible for man, in his present fallen state, to preserve
his Baptismal innocence for any space of time, much less to persevere in
it to the end of life, without a special and extraordinary grace from God;
and, as a grace of this kind is justly esteemed one of the most singular
favors given by God to His faithful servants, who are members of His
Church, and enjoy all the powerful helps that are only to be found in her
Communion, to enable them to do so; — is it to be supposed that He will
bestow this priceless favor upon anyone who is out of her Communion, and
consequently deprived of all these helps? And if it be supposed that he
loses his Baptismal innocence by committing a mortal sin, but recovers the
grace of justification by a sincere repentance, the difficulty still
increases. For a repentance without the help of the Sacraments sufficient
to obtain the grace of justification includes a perfect contrition,
founded on the love of God above all things; a favor so seldom granted to
sinners, even in the Church itself, that the Sacrament of Penance is
appointed by Jesus Christ as the standing means of supplying our
deficiency in that respect. Now, what likelihood is there that Almighty
God will bestow so very singular a favor upon one who has lost his
innocence, and is not in the Communion of His Church to obtain the helps
which she affords for recovering it?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
But, (3) let us suppose the case to happen as proposed, and
that Almighty God gives this man these extraordinary graces by which he
preserves his Baptismal innocence to the last, dies in the Grace of God,
and goes to Heaven, — would not this be making God contradict Himself, and
act directly contrary to the whole tenor of His revealed will? All the
testimonies of Scripture concur to prove that God has appointed True Faith
in Jesus Christ, and the being in Communion with the Church of Christ, as
necessary conditions of salvation; and yet, in the present case, the
person would be saved who had not had the True Faith in Jesus Christ, had
not been in Communion with His Church, but who had lived and died in a
heretical Communion. There is therefore the greatest reason to believe
that such a case will never happen, but that a person brought up in
heresy, and invincibly ignorant of the truth, being deprived of the helps
and graces which are the consequences of the True Faith, and which are
only found in the true Church, will not preserve his innocence, but,
continuing in heresy, shall die in his sins, and be lost; not precisely
because he had not the True Faith, of which he is supposed to be
invincibly ignorant, but for the other sins of which he dies guilty.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 15. But can none who are in heresy, and in invincible
ignorance of the truth, be saved?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. God forbid we should say so! All the above reasons only
prove that if they live and die in that state they shall not be saved, and
that according to the present providence they cannot be saved; but the
great God is able to take them out of that state, to cure even their
ignorance though invincible to them in their present situation, to bring
them to the knowledge of the True Faith, to the Communion of His Holy
Church, and to salvation: and we further add, that if He be pleased, of
His infinite mercy, to save any who are at present in invincible ignorance
of the truth, in order to act consistently with Himself, and with His Holy
Word, He will undoubtedly bring them to the union of His Holy Church for
that purpose before they die.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 16. Are there any grounds in Scripture for this doctrine?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. This doctrine is founded upon the most positive
declarations of Scripture. For the Scripture lays down this fundamental
truth, "The sure foundation of God standeth firm, having this seal: The
Lord knoweth who are His." [2 Tim. 2: 19] That is, God, from all eternity,
knows those who, by co-operating with the graces He shall bestow upon
them, will persevere to the end in His Faith and love, and be happy with
Him forever. Now, to all mankind, without exception, and in whatever
state, heathen, Muhammadan, Jew, or heretic, in vincible or in invincible
ignorance, God, through the merits of Christ, and for His sake, gives such
graces as He sees proper for their present state, with a view to their
eternal salvation; if they comply with those He gives, and cooperate with
them, He will then give them more and greater, till He brings them at last
to that happy end; but if they resist and abuse those graces they receive,
no more will be given them, and they will be left to their own ways, as
the just punishment of their ingratitude.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Those, therefore, whom Almighty God foresees will make a
proper use of His graces, and be saved, those He ordains to eternal life;
and all such the Scripture assures us He will in His own good time, and in
the way and manner He sees proper, bring to the knowledge of the True
Faith, and to the Communion of His Holy Church. Thus, "The Lord daily
added to the Church such as should be saved." [Acts 2: 47] Now, what the
Lord daily did in the time of the Apostles, He daily will continue to do
till the end of the world; and as none could be saved who were not added
to the Church in those days, so neither can any afterwards be; for there
is no new revelation since the Apostles' time, discovering a different way
to salvation. Again the Scripture says, that "as many as were ordained to
eternal life believed," [Acts 13: 48] — that is, were brought to the True
Faith which the Apostles preached: the same then will be done ever
afterwards; for as then none were ordained to eternal life who did not
believe, so neither will there be any afterwards.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Our Savior Himself decides this point in the clearest terms
when He says, "Other sheep I have who are not of this fold; them also I
MUST BRING, and they SHALL hear My voice, and there shall be one fold and
one Shepherd." [John 10: 16] Here He manifestly speaks of those who had
not as yet heard His voice, but were either Jews or heathens, and not
united in the fold of His Apostles and other disciples; yet He calls them
His sheep, because "the Lord knoweth who are His," and He foreknew who
would cooperate with His grace and follow His voice; now He expressly
declares, "them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice." It was
not enough for their salvation that they were ready in the disposition of
their hearts to answer His call, and to do better if they knew better; it
was necessary they should actually be brought to the Communion of His own
fold, "them also I must bring;" it was necessary they should have the True
Faith of Christ, "and they shall hear My voice," in order to secure their
salvation; for, as He says a little after, "My sheep hear My voice, and I
know them, and they follow Me, and I give them eternal life, and they
shall not perish for ever, and no man shall snatch them out of My hand."
[John 10: 27]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
This will still further appear from the account which St. Paul gives
of the several steps of Divine Providence in the salvation of the elect,
and of the principal graces bestowed upon them for that great end; "for
whom He foreknew," says he, "He also predestinated to be made conformable
to the image of His Son; and whom He predestinated, them He also called;
and whom He called, them He also justified; and whom He justified, them he
also glorified." [Rom. 8: 29] First, he lays down the "sure foundation of
God," above mentioned, "which has this seal, The Lord knoweth who are
His." [2 Tim. 2: 19] God, from all eternity, foreknew who would improve
the talents He should in time bestow upon them, and who, persevering, to
the end, should be His forever. Now, says the Apostle, "whom" He thus
"foreknew He also predestinated to be conformable to the image of His
Son;" that is, He preordained that all His elect should resemble Jesus
Christ, by "putting off the old man with his deeds, and putting on the
new, according to the image of Him that created Him." [Col. 3: 9]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
To procure this conformity with Jesus Christ, the next step
He takes is to call them; for, "whom He predestinated, them He also
called" — namely, to the knowledge and Faith of Jesus Christ, and to the
Communion of His Holy Church; that is, He gives them such internal graces,
and so disposes all external circumstances, as effectually to bring them
to this great happiness; and whom He thus called to the True Faith, "them
He also justified" — that is, being brought to the True Faith, "without
which it is impossible to please God," he continues to bestow still
further graces upon them, of fear, hope, love of God, and sorrow for their
sins, with which they, cooperating, are brought by means of His Holy
Sacraments to the grace of justification. Greater and greater graces are
bestowed upon them, and they, persevering to the end in their
co-operation, are received at last into eternal glory; for "whom He
justified, them He also glorified." Here it is manifest that our being
called to the Faith and Church of Jesus Christ is ordained by Almighty God
as an essential step in the affair of salvation, a necessary condition to
be performed, even, before we can be justified from the guilt of our sins,
and consequently, that without True Faith, and out of the Communion of the
Church of Christ, there is no possibility of salvation. It is no less
manifest that, let a person be in any state whatsoever — heathen,
Muhammadan, Jew, or heretic — if Almighty God foreknows that this person
will cooperate with those graces which from all eternity He had resolved
to bestow upon him, and continue faithful to the end, He will by no means
permit him to live and die in his present state, but will so order matters
out of the treasures of His Divine Wisdom, that sooner or later he shall
be brought to the union of the Church of Christ, out of which he has
ordained that salvation cannot be found.

<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 17. How can it be proven that in the above mentioned passage of St.
Paul (Q. 16), is meant our vocation or calling to the Faith and Church of
Christ?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. Nothing is more evident from the whole tenor of the
New Testament; for, wherever the object of our calling or vocation is
spoken of, it is always declared to be the Faith, and Church of Christ.
Thus St. Paul, speaking of his own vocation, says: '"It pleased Him who
separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by His grace, to reveal
His Son to me." [Gal. 1: 15] So, exhorting us to walk worthy of the
vocation in which we are called, by humility and charity, he immediately
adds the objects of our vocation as a most powerful motive for us to do
so: "One body," says he, "one Spirit, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism."
[Eph. 4: 4] Again, "Let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts wherein
also ye are called in one body." [Col. 3: 15] Also, "We testified to every
one of you that ye would walk worthy of God, Who hath called you to His
Kingdom and glory;" [Thess. 2: 12] to His kingdom here, and to His glory
hereafter. The object, therefore, of our vocation is the one Faith of
Christ; the body of Christ, and the kingdom of Christ, which is His
Church. Hence the same holy Apostle says in another place, "But ye are
come to Mount Sion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,
to the company of many thousands of Angels, and to the Church of the
first-born who are written in Heaven." [Heb. 12: 22] See here the object
of our vocation, the Church of Christ; and St. Peter says, "But ye are a
chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people,
that ye may declare His virtues who hath called you out of darkness into
His admirable light." [1 Pet. 2: 9] To be a member, then, of this holy
nation, to be one of this purchased people, to be brought to this
admirable light of the True Faith, is the great end to which our calling
brings us.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 18. But how can we reconcile this with the infinite
goodness of God, that none shall be saved without the True Faith of
Christ, and without being in the Communion of His Church, since according
to it by far the greater part of mankind must be lost, seeing that the
number of those who have not the Faith, and are not in the Communion of
His Church, always greatly exceeds the number of those who are?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. That the greater number of mankind will be lost is a truth
which Christ Himself declares when He, says that "many are called, but few
are chosen," and that "many walk, in the broad road to destruction, but
few there are that find the narrow way to life." The difficulty of
reconciling this with the goodness of God will disappear if we consider
what the Christian revelation teaches; for by it we learn that man, by the
voluntary abuse of his free-will, having forfeited that happy state in
which God had created him, rendered himself unworthy of any favor or mercy
from God; so that God, with the greatest justice, could, if He pleased,
have left him without remedy to that misery which sins deserved, as He
actually did leave the fallen Angels. It was therefore the effect of His
infinite goodness alone that God was pleased to show any mercy to man; and
still more so, to provide so unheard-of a remedy for his evils. "God so
loved the world," says the Gospels, "that He gave His only begotten Son,"
to seek and save, those that were lost by dying upon a Cross for them. But
as man, by the voluntary abuse of his free-will, had lost the favor of his
God, therefore God decreed that none who come to the full use of their
reason should reap the benefit of the redemption of Christ but by
voluntary performance of the conditions which He requires from them; for
Christ "is become the cause of eternal salvation to all that obey
him."
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[Heb. 5: 9]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Man, by the miserable corruption of his nature by sin, was
absolutely incapable of himself of performing these conditions; therefore
God, out of the riches of His goodness, and the desire that all should be
saved through the merits of Jesus Christ, gives to all mankind such
supernatural helps of His grace as He sees proper for their present state,
with a view to their salvation. God by these graces moves men to do good
and avoid evil; and if they cooperate with His favors, He will give them
new and greater graces. If they continue to correspond He will give them
still more; till He brings them at last to the True Faith and Church of
Christ, and to a happy end; but if they resist His graces, if they abuse
them and act contrary to them, if they reject these calls and offers of
mercy bears with them for a time, but at length He stops the continuance
of such undeserved favors, and leaves them perish in their ingratitude and
obstinacy. Hence if the greater part of mankind be lost, it is wholly
owing to themselves in abusing the goodness of God, and resisting the
means He uses for their salvation; so that our salvation is only from the
goodness of God, and our perdition wholly from ourselves, according to
what He says by His prophet, "Destruction is thine, O Israel; thy help is
only in Me." [Hosea 13: 9]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 19. This is, indeed, a full vindication of the Divine
goodness; but there are some parts of which need to be explained; and
first, how does it appear from Scripture that God gives to all mankind the
graces here mentioned with a view to their salvation?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. This is manifest, from three strong reasons recorded in
Scripture:
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
First, the Scripture assures us that God wills all men to be saved, and
that none should be lost. Thus, "As, I live," saith the Lord God, "I will
not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and
live." [Ezek. 33: 2] So our Savior declares, "It is not the will of our
Father, Who is in Heaven that one of these little ones should perish."
[Matt. 18: 14] "God dealeth patiently for your sake," says Peter, "not
willing that any should, perish, but that all should return to penance."
[2 Peter 3: 9] And St. Paul affirms it in express terms: "God will have
all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth." [1 Tim.
1: 4] He wills, all men to be saved, and He wills them to come to the
knowledge of the truth, as an essential condition of salvation. Now, from
this sincere will of God for the salvation of all men, it follows as a
necessary consequence that He gives to all men such helps of His grace as
are sufficient, if they make good use of them, to bring them both to the
knowledge of the truth, and to salvation; for as they are absolutely
incapable of taking any step towards this end without His aid, if He wills
the end, He must also apply the means in such a manner that if the end be
not accomplished it is not owing to Him. If God did not do so, we could
not conceive Him affirming that He wills, all men to be saved, and that He
wills not the death of the wicked.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Second, the Scripture declares that Jesus Christ died
for the redemption of all mankind, without exception. Thus, "Jesus Christ
gave Himself a redemption for all." [1 Tim. 2: 6] "If one died for all,
then all are dead, and Christ died for all." [2 Cor. 5: 15] "We hope in
the living God, Who is the Savior of all men, especially of the
faithful."
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
[1 Tim. 4: 10] "If any man, sin, we have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the just, and He is the propitiation for our sins; and not
for ours only, but also for those of the whole world." [1 John 2: 1] Hence
St. John the Baptist said of Him, "Behold the Lamb of God, behold Him Who
taketh away the sins of the world." [John 1: 29] And He Himself says, "The
bread that I will give is My flesh, for the life of the world." [John 6:
52] Again, "The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost;"
[Luke 19: 10] and "I come not to judge the world, but to save the world;"
[John 12: 47] and St. Paul says of Him, "A faithful saying, and worthy of
all acceptation, that Jesus Christ came into this world to save sinners."
[1 Tim. 1: 15] But as all were lost, as all without exception were
sinners, therefore Jesus Christ came to seek and to save all. Now, from
this it also follows, as a necessary consequence, that all, without
exception, must receive, in some degree or other, such fruits and benefits
of His redemption, either directly or indirectly, mediately or
immediately, as are sufficient to procure their salvation, if they
cooperate with them. If anyone, then, be not actually saved, this cannot
be owing to any deficiency on the part of Jesus Christ, but to their own
abuse of His graces; for it would be trifling to say that He is the Savior
of all, if all did not receive the fruits of His redemption with a view to
their salvation.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Third, the Scriptures assure us that all men do actually
receive from God, in that degree, manner, and proportion which He sees
proper, according to their present state, such helps of His graces as
would enable them to secure their salvation, if they cooperated with them.
For, in the first place, Almighty God, out of His sincere desire for the
salvation of all, "sent His Son into the world, that the world might be
saved by Him." [John 3: 17] From which St. Paul draws this plain argument:
"He that spared not even His Own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how
hath He not also with Him given us all things?" [Rom. 8: 32]; at least all
things absolutely necessary for our salvation, and without which it would
never be in our power to attain it? Now, as He delivered His Son for all,
without exception, and with this very view, "that the world," that is, all
mankind, "might be saved by Him:" therefore, to all without exception He
gives with Him such helps and graces as, either mediately or immediately,
directly or indirectly, put it in their power to be saved. Secondly, the
Scripture declares that Christ "is the true light, which enlighteneth
every man that cometh into this world," [John 1: 9] Consequently every man
that cometh into this world partaketh of His light in such degree and
proportion as He sees proper to give, and in such time, place, and manner
as He thinks fit. For, thirdly, "To every one of us is given grace
according to the measure of the giving of Christ;" [Eph. 4: 7] and "the
grace of God our Savior hath appeared to all men." [Tit. 2: 2] Fourthly,
the goodness and mercy of God to all mankind is thus displayed in
Scripture: "Thou hast mercy upon all, because Thou canst do all things,
and over lookest the sins of men for the sake of repentance; for Thou
lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which Thou hast
made: for thou didst not appoint or make anything hating it; . . . but
thou sparest all because they are Thine, O Lord, Who lovest souls." [Wis.
11: 24] Now, how could He be said "to spare all," and to "have mercy on
all," for the sake of repentance, if He did not give to all such graces at
least as are absolutely necessary to help them and bring them to
repentance?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, Our Savior Himself says, "Behold I stand at the door and knock; if
any man shall hear My voice, and open to Me the door, I will come in to
him, and will sup with him, and he with Me; and to him that shall
overcome, I will give to sit with Me in My throne." [Rev. 3: 20] He knocks
at every door, at every heart, by the motions of His holy grace; and if
any man whatsoever shall open and cooperate with His grace, so as to
overcome, all will be well. From this it is manifest that all men, without
exception, in whatever state they may be, at some time or other receive
graces from God, as the fruits of the redemption of Jesus, with a view to
their eternal salvation, and which, either mediately or immediately, would
bring them to that end, if they made a proper use of them; if, therefore,
they be not saved, the fault is entirely their own. Graces, indeed, are
not given in the same degree and proportion to all, but "according
to the measure of the giving of Christ;" for "every one has his proper
gift from God, one after this manner, and another after that." [1 Cor. 7:
7] In the distribution of the talents, one received five, another two, and
another only one — for God being master of His Own gifts, may give more
abundantly to one than to another, as He pleases; but what every one
receives is sufficient for his present purpose, and he who received only
one talent had it fully in his power to obtain
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
the same reward as the other two, had he improved his talent as they did;
but as he was negligent and unprofitable, he was justly condemned for his
sloth.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_21" style="text-align: justify;">
cooperate with graces = more graces given
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 20. How can it be shown that if a man cooperate with those
graces which God bestows, he will always revolve more and more from him?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. This is evident, (1) From the very end which God has in
giving them; for all the graces which God bestows on man, through the
merits of Christ, are given with a view to his salvation, and from the
desire of saving him. If man, therefore, put no obstacle on his part, but
improves the present grace, the same gracious desire which God has of his
salvation, and which moved Him to give the first, must also move Him to
give a second, a third, and so on, till he perfect the great work for
which He gives them; and hence, the Scripture says, "Being confident of
this very thing, that He who had begun the good work in you will perfect
it unto the day of Christ Jesus." [Philip. 1: 6] It is an undoubted truth,
then, that God will never fail on His part to give us all further
necessary helps, if we make a good use of those He has already given; for
He will never abandon us, if we do not first forsake Him. Hence the same
holy Apostle exhorts us, "With fear and trembling to work out our own
salvation; for it is God that worketh in us both to will and to
accomplish, according to His good will," [Philip. 2: 12] — showing us that
God will not be wanting if we do our part, and work, with fear and
trembling, according to the graces He bestows. Hence, also, the frequent
exhortations of the same Apostle "Not to neglect the grace of God;" [1
Tim. 4: 14] "To stir up the grace of God that is in us;"
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
[2 Tim. 1: 6] "Not to receive the grace of God in vain;" [2 Cor. 6: 1] and
"to look diligently that no man be wanting to the grace of God."
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[Heb. 12: 15]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The same truth appears (2) From those testimonies of
Scripture where we are assured that if we serve God and obey Him we shall
advance in His love and in union with Him; for to serve and obey Him
is to make a good use of the graces He gives us: and to be more loved by
Him and united to Him is to receive from Him still greater graces. Thus
our Savior says, "If any man love Me, he will keep My word" (that is, do
My will, correspond with My grace), "and My Father will love him, We will
come to him, and will make our abode with him." [John 14: 23] So also St.
James says, "Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Be humbled in
the sight of the Lord, and He will exalt you." [James 4: 8, 10] Hence St.
Peter exhorts us "to take heed not to fall from our own steadfastness, but
to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ;" [2 Pet. 3: 17] because the continuing steadfast in His service,
by corresponding with His grace, is the sure way, to obtain more from Him.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
It is proved (3) By the express declaration of Jesus Christ
Who says, "I am the vine, and My Father is the husbandman: . . . every
branch in Me that beareth fruit He will purge it, that it may bring forth
more fruit." [John 15: 1] Also in the parable of the talents, he ordered
the given talent to be taken from the unprofitable servant, and given to
the other that had ten talents and then adds, "I say unto you that to
every one that hath shall be given, and he shall abound," [Luke 19: 26]:
that is, to every one that hath, and makes a good use of what he hath; for
when the master went away he gave one talent to each of his servants, "and
said to them, trade till I come." [Ver. 13] And when he came back he found
that one had gained ten talents, but the slothful servant none at all, for
he had kept the talent he had received laid up in a napkin; so that the
only difference between these two was, that one had improved what be had
received from his master, and the other had not; and therefore to the one,
who had improved his talent, more and more was given; that he might
abound. The expression is repeated by Our Savior, on different occasions,
but particularly Mark 4: 24, where, considering the great grace bestowed
on the Jews, in communicating to them His holy Word, He exhorts them, to
be careful to make an ample return to God, by improving that grace, and
promises if they do so that more shall be given them: "Take heed," says He
to them, "what ye hear: with what measure ye shall mete, it shall be
measured to you again; and more shall be given to you;" and then He
immediately adds, as a general rule, "for he that hath, to him shall be
given." [Ver. 25] In like manner Almighty God says to all sinners
whose hearts He touches with His reproofs, and the check of their
conscience, "Turn ye at My reproof; behold I will utter My spirit to you,
and I will show, you My words." [Prov. 1: 23] If they cooperate with the
grace of His reproof, and turn, He will bestow greater favors upon them.

<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_23" style="text-align: justify;">
if a man neglect the graces of God, they shall be taken from him
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 21. How is it shown that if a man resist or neglect the graces of God,
they shall be taken from him? And that if he be lost the fault is his own?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. This also is manifest throughout the whole Scripture; but
that this point may be fully understood, we must consider the different
fatal consequences that flow from an obstinate abuse of these graces.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(1.) These graces are withdrawn from them; not, indeed, at once, for God,
of His infinite mercy, waits patiently for sinners, and repeats His
endeavors for their conversion; but if they still resist or abuse his
graces, they are diminished, and given seldomer. Thus our Savior says of
the unprofitable servant, "Take the talent away from him; . . . for from
him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken from him." [Luke
19: 24, 26] How so? If he hath not, how can anything at all be taken from
him? The sense is, he that hath not improved what he hath, even that
which he hath shall be taken away from him. The same is repeated on
several other occasions.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(2.) The more the graces of God are weakened or withdrawn
from sinners by their repeated abuse of them, the more their passions are
strengthened in their hearts, acquiring the greater mastery over them,
till at last they become their miserable slaves; "My people heard not my
voice," says Almighty God; "Israel hearkened, not to Me: so I let them go
according to the desires of their heart; they shall walk in their own
inventions." [Ps. 80: 12] And St. Paul assures us that whereas the wise
men among the heathen nations, by the light of reason itself, came to a
clear knowledge of the existence of God, and of His power and Divinity,
but, "because when they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God," by a
correspondence with the light He gave them, but continued in their
idolatry, therefore "God gave them up to the desires of their hearts. . .
. God delivered them up to shameful affections, . . . and delivered them
up to a reprobate sense." [Rom. 1: 21]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(3.) If their obstinacy still increase, and they go on
shutting their eyes against the light of truth which God offers them, He
then permits them to be seduced by falsehood, to "give heed to spirits of
error and doctrines of devils." [1 Tim. 4: 1] Thus, "because they received
not the love of truth that they might be saved, therefore God shall send
them the operation of error, to believe lying, that all may be judged."
[or, as the Protestant translation has it, that all may be damned] "who
have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity." [2 Thess. 2:
10] This strong text clearly shows two great truths; first, That God
offers the truth to all; and, secondly, That the source of their damnation
is entirely from themselves, in refusing to receive it.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(4.) If, therefore, they still continue, in their
perversity, and die in their sins, a dreadful condemnation shall be their
portion forever; to them "God swears in His wrath that they shall not
enter into His rest." [Ps. 94: 2] On them He pronounces that dreadful
sentence, "Because I called and ye refused, I stretched out My hand and
there was none that regarded; ye have despised all My counsel, and have
neglected My reprehensions; I also will laugh at your destruction, and
will mock when that which ye feared shall fall upon you. When sudden
calamity shall fall upon you, and destruction, like a tempest, shall be at
hand; when tribulation and distress shall come upon you; then shall they,
call upon Me, and I will not hear, they shall rise in the morning, and
they shall not find Me: because they have hated instruction, and received
not the fear of the Lord, nor consented to My counsel, but despised all My
reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and shall be
filled with their own devices." [Prov. 1: 24] Their condemnation is
prefigured in that of Jerusalem, which had been rebellious to all the
calls of God, and over the fate of which our Savior laments in these
affecting words: "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! thou that killest the prophets,
and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered
together thy children as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and
thou wouldst not! Behold, your house shall be left to you desolate."
[Matt. 23: 37] "I would, and thou wouldst not!" This is their great crime.
I sent you My prophets and servants, My graces, and lights, and holy
motions, but these ye killed and destroyed, and gave no ear to them! The
miserable fate of all such unhappy sinners, prefigured in Jerusalem, drew
tears from the eyes of Jesus, when He wept over that city, and said, "If
thou also hadst known, and that in this thy day, the things that are for
thy peace; but now they are hidden from thy eyes. For the days shall come
upon thee, and thy enemies . . . shall beat thee flat to the ground, and
thy children who are in thee; and they shall not leave in thee a stone
upon a stone." [Luke 19: 42] These are they who, having been invited to
the marriage-supper of the great King, rejected his invitation, and killed
his servants; for which reason "he sent his armies and destroyed those
murderers, and burnt their city," [Matt. 22: 7], declaring that "not one
of them should taste of his supper".

<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 22. What is the result of all these truths?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. The result is very plain — namely, Though God Almighty has
been pleased to ordain that none shall be saved who have not the True
Faith of Jesus Christ, and are not in communion with His Holy Church, yet
this is no way inconsistent with the infinite goodness of God, because He
gives to all sufficient graces, by which they may, if they correspond with
them, be brought to the True faith and Church of Christ; and that, if any
are lost, it is not owing to any want of goodness in God, but to their own
abuse of the graces bestowed upon them. On some, indeed, He bestows these
graces more abundantly, giving them five talents — to others He gave more
sparingly, to some two, and to some only one; but He gives to all
sufficient for their present wants, and will give more if those be
improved, till at last He brings them to the knowledge of His truth and to
salvation.

wilds of Tartary or America, Eunuch of Candace and Cornelius
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 23. But suppose a person in the wilds of Tartary or
America, where the name of Christ has never been heard: suppose also, that
this person should attend to the dictates of conscience, enlightened by
such graces as God is pleased to give him, and constantly comply with
them; — yet, how is it possible that he could be brought to the knowledge
and Faith of Jesus Christ?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. This case is certainly possible; and if it should happen
it is not to be doubted but God Almighty would, from the treasures of His
infinite wisdom, provide some means to bring such a person to the
knowledge of the truth, even though he should send an Angel from Heaven to
instruct him. "The hand of the Lord is not shortened, that He cannot
save," in whatever difficulties a poor soul may be; He has, in former
times, done wonderful things in cases of this kind, and He is no less able
to do the same again: and since He has so clearly ordained, that out of
the True Church, and without True Faith in Christ, there is no salvation,
there can be no doubt but that, in the case proposed, He would take care
effectually to bring such a person to that happiness.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 24. Is there any authority from Scripture to prove this?<br />
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. There can be no stronger proof from Scripture than some facts
there related. We have in Scripture two beautiful examples of God's acting
in this manner in similar cases, which shows that He would do the same
again, if any case should require it. The one is that of the eunuch of
Candace, Queen of Ethiopia: he, following the lights that God gave him,
though living at a great distance from Jerusalem became acquainted with
the worship of the true God, and was accustomed to go from time to time to
Jerusalem to adore Him. When, however, the gospel began to be published,
the Jewish religion could no longer save him; but being well disposed, by
fidelity to the graces he had hitherto received, he was not forsaken by
Almighty God; for when he was returning to his own country from Jerusalem,
the Lord sent a message by an Angel to St. Philip to meet and instruct him
in the Faith of Christ, and Baptize him. [Acts 8: 26]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The other example is that of Cornelius, who was an officer of
the Roman army of the Italic band, and brought up in idolatry. In the
course of events, his regiment coming to Judea, he saw there a religion
different from his own, — the worship of one only God. Grace moving his
heart, he believed in this God, and following the further motions of
Divine grace, he gave much alms to the poor, and prayed earnestly to this
God to direct him what to do. Did God abandon him? By no means; He sent an
Angel from Heaven to tell him to whom to apply in order to be fully
instructed in the knowledge and Faith of Jesus Christ, and to be received
into His Church by Baptism. Now, what God did in these two cases He is no
less able to do in all others, and has a thousand ways in His wisdom to
conduct souls who are truly in earnest to the knowledge of the truth, and
to salvation. And though such a soul were, in the remotest wilds of the
world, God could send a Philip, or an Angel from Heaven, to instruct him,
or by the superabundance of his internal grace, or by numberless other
ways unknown to us, could infuse into his soul the knowledge of the truth.
The great affair is, that we carefully do our part in complying with what
He gives us; for of this we are certain, that if we be not wanting to him,
he will never be wanting to us, but as he begins the good work in us, will
also perfect it, if we be careful to correspond and to put not hindrance
to His designs.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 25. Are none brought to the Faith and Church of Christ but
those who correspond as they ought with the graces received before?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. God forbid; for, though it be certain that God will never
fail to bring all those to the Faith and Church of Christ who faithfully
correspond with the graces He bestows upon them, yet He has nowhere bound
Himself to bestow that singular mercy on no other. Were this the case, how
few indeed would receive it! But God, to show the infinite riches of His
goodness and mercy, bestows it on many of the most undeserving; he
bestowed it even upon many of the hardened Jews who crucified Jesus
Christ, and of the priests who persecuted Him to death, even though they
had obstinately opposed all the means He had previously used by His
doctrine and miracles to convert them. In this He acts as Lord and Master,
and as a free disposer of His own gifts; He gives to all the helps
necessary and sufficient for their present state; to those who cooperate
with these helps He never fails to give more abundantly; and in order to
show the riches of His mercy, on numbers of the most undeserving He
bestows His most singular favors for their conversion. Hence none have
cause to complain; all ought to be solicitous to cooperate with what they
have; none ought to despair on account of their past ingratitude, but be
assured that God, Who is rich in mercy, will yet have mercy on them, if
they return to Him. Those only ought to fear and tremble who remain
obstinate in their evil ways, who continue to resist the calls of His
mercy, and put off their conversion from day to day. For, though His
infinite mercy knows no bounds in pardoning sins, however numerous and
grievous, if we repent, yet the offers of His mercy are limited, and if we
exceed these limits by our obstinacy, there will be no more mercy for us.
The time of mercy is fixed for every one, and if we fail to embrace its
offers within that time the gates of mercy will be closed against us. When
the bridegroom has once entered into the marriage-chamber the doors are
shut, and the foolish virgins who were unprepared are for ever excluded,
with this dreadful reproach from Jesus Christ, — I know ye not; depart
from Me, ye workers of iniquity. Seeing, therefore, that no man knows how
long the time of mercy will last for him, he ought not to delay a moment;
if he neglect the present offer, it may be the last. That hour will come
like a thief in the night, when we least expect it, as Christ Himself
assures us, and therefore He commands us to be always ready.

PART 8 (last moment baptism of desire, rare occurence)
</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 26. What opinion, then, may be formed of the salvation of anyone, in
particular, who is out of the True Church of Christ, and lives in a false
religion?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. In answer to this, I may ask another question: What
opinion would you form of the salvation of one who is living in the open
state of mortal sin, such as adultery, robbery, impurity, or the like? No
one could presume to say that that man will certainly be lost; but every
one may say that, if he die in that state, without repentance, he cannot
be saved. If it be the will of God positively to save him, He will, before
he die, give him the grace of sincere repentance; because God Almighty
expressly requires from sinners a sincere repentance as a condition
without which they cannot be saved: "Except ye repent," says He, "ye shall
all likewise perish." [Luke 13: 3] The same is to be said of a person who
is out of the True Church, and lives in a false religion. If he die in
that state he cannot be saved; and if it be the will of God actually to
save him, he will undoubtedly bring him to the True Faith, and make him a
member of the Church of Christ before he leaves this world; and the reason
is the same as in the other case. God, as we have seen above, requires all
men to be united to the Church by True Faith as a condition of salvation,
and therefore daily "adds to the Church such as shall be saved". [Acts 2:
47] Now, though a man be ever so great an adversary to the Church of
Christ at present, or ever so great a sinner though a member of the
Church, yet, as no man can know what God may be pleased to do for either
before he die, so no man can pronounce and say that either the one, or the
other will be lost; for, if God pleases, He may give the light of True
Faith to the one, and the grace of true repentance to the other, even at
their last moments, and save them.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 27. But suppose a person live in a false religion, and die
without being reunited to the Communion of the Church of Christ, can it be
said of such a one that he is certainly lost?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. I must here put another question. Suppose a great sinner
continues to live in his sins, and dies without any appearance of
repentance, could you say of such a one that he is certainly lost?
Certainly not; because no man knows, or can know, what may have passed
between God and his soul in his last moments; all that can be said is,
that if he has actually died without repentance, he certainly is lost; but
if God, of His infinite goodness, has given him the grace of a perfect
repentance, and he has corresponded on his part with so great a favor, he
will be saved. In like manner, suppose a person living in false religion
dies without giving any sign of embracing the True Faith, or without being
reconciled to the Church of Christ, we can never say of such a one with
certainty that he is lost; all that we can say must be under the same
condition as in the other case: if he has actually died as he lived,
separated from the True Church of Christ, and without the True Faith of
Christ, he cannot be saved. But if God, of His great mercy, has given him
in his last moments light and grace to see and embrace the True Faith, and
he has corresponded with so great a favor as God requires, he will be
saved. Now, as no man knows, or can know, what may have passed in the soul
of either the one or the other at their last moments, so no man can
pronounce of either that he is lost with certainty.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 28. But, in the case proposed, if a person, in his last
moments shall receive the light of Faith from God, and embrace it with all
his heart, would this suffice to make him a member of the True Church in
the sight of God?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. Most and undoubtedly; the case is the same in this as in
that of Baptism. Though Jesus Christ expressly says, "Except a man be born
again of water and the Holy Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of
God," [John 3: 5] which establishes the absolute necessity of Baptism for
salvation, yet, suppose a heathen should be instructed in the Faith of
Christ, and embrace it with all his heart, but die suddenly without
Baptism, or be taken away by infidel friends, or put in absolute
impossibility of receiving Baptism, and die in the above dispositions with
sincere repentance and a desire of Baptism, this person will undoubtedly
receive all the fruits of Baptism from God, and therefore is said to be
Baptized in desire. In like manner, suppose a person brought up in a false
religion embraces with all his heart the light of True Faith, which God
gives him in his last moments — as it is absolutely impossible for him in
that state "to join the external Communion of the Church in the eyes of
men, "yet he certainly will be considered united to her in the sight of
God, by means of the True Faith which he embraces, and his desire of being
united to the Church, were it in his power.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 29. Is there any reason to believe that God Almighty often
bestows the light of Faith, or the grace of repentance, at the hour of
death, upon those who have lived all their lives in heresy, or in sin?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. That God can in an instant convert the most
obdurate heart, either to the True Faith, or to repentance, is manifest
from the examples of St. Paul, Zacheus the publican, St. Matthew the
Apostle, and many others; and, in particular of St. Peter, to whom in an
instant He revealed the Divinity of Jesus Christ, Who said to Him on that
account, "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood hath not
revealed this to thee, but My Father Who is in Heaven." [Matt. 16: 17]
That He can do this at the hour of death, as easily as at any time in
life, cannot be doubted, as we see in the good thief upon the Cross: He is
the same all-powerful God at all times. But it must be owned that there is
very little reason to think that this is frequently the case. There
certainly are not the smallest grounds from revelation to think so. Nay,
the Scripture, as we have seen above, threatens the contrary. All that can
be said is, that as God is able, He can do it; and as He is merciful, He
may, do it; and the possibility of this is sufficient to hinder us from
passing judgment upon the state of any soul who has left this world: but
it would certainly be the height of madness, and a manifest tempting of
God, for a person to go on in an evil way in hopes of finding such mercy
at the last.
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_26" style="text-align: justify;">
pious in their own way
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 30. Do we not see, even among false religions, many
serious, well-disposed people, who live good lives, and are even devout
and pious in their own way; is it not hard to think that such persons will
not be saved?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. But is it not much more reasonable in itself, as well as
more conformable to the whole tenor of what God has revealed, to say, that
if they be truly such before God as they appear in the eyes of men, and
such as He knows will continue to correspond with the graces He gives
them, He will not allow them to die in their false religion, but will
undoubtedly bring them to the True Faith before they die? The door of
salvation is by no means closed against such people by anything here
advanced; the only difficulty is, about the way they can arrive at it. By
supposing they can reach it, though they die in their false religion, is
supposing God to act contrary to Himself and in opposition to everything
He has revealed to men upon this matter; but by adhering to His Holy Word,
and firmly believing that God "adds daily to the Church such as shall be
saved," and will most undoubtedly add those here spoken of to her, if they
be of that happy number, we do not make their salvation more difficult
either to themselves or to God; and we avoid the dreadful consequence of
supposing God to act contrary to Himself and to His own revealed will. If
these people be really such in the eyes of God as they appear to men; and
if Jesus Christ, foreseeing their perseverance in improving the graces He
bestows upon them, acknowledges them among the number of His sheep, "to
whom He gives eternal life," — then it is evident they are in the state of
those of whom He says in the gospel, "Other sheep I have who are not of
this fold," [John 10: 16] both the one and the other are considered as
belonging to Him, according to His foreknow ledge of their salvation; but
neither of them are joined in the visible Communion of His Church. Now of
these last He immediately adds, "Them also must I bring, and they shall
hear My voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd." It was not
enough for their salvation to be acknowledged to be His sheep; but because
they were so, it was necessary that they should be united to the fold to
which they did not then belong. The same then must be the case of those we
here speak of: they are sheep of Jesus Christ, because He foresees they
will at last be saved; but as they are not at present within the fold of
His Church, in order to secure their salvation, "them also He must bring,"
before they die, that there may be "one fold and one shepherd."
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 31. This is very strong indeed. But as this is a
case on which many pretend to lay a great stress, whence arises the weight
it seems to have with them in favor of those who even die in a false
religion?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. Their mistake arises from the idea which they form to
themselves of good works, and from their not observing the vast difference
there is between natural good moral actions, and supernatural Christian
good works, which alone will bring a man to Heaven. However corrupted our
nature is by sin, yet there are few or none of the seed of Adam who have
not certain good natural dispositions, some being more inclined to one
virtue, some to another. Thus some are of a humane, benevolent
disposition; some tenderhearted and compassionate towards others in
distress; some just and upright in their dealings; some temperate and
sober; some mild and patient; some also have natural feelings of devotion,
and of reverence for the Supreme Being.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Now, all such good natural dispositions of themselves are far
from being Christian virtues, and are altogether incapable of bringing a
man to Heaven. They indeed make him who has them agreeable to men, and
procure him esteem and regard from those with whom he lives; but they are
of no avail before God with regard to eternity. To be convinced of this we
need only observe, that good natural dispositions of this kind are found
in Mahometans, Jews, and heathens, as well as among Christians; yet no
Christian can suppose that a Mahometan, Jew, or heathen, who dies in that
state, will obtain the kingdom of Heaven by means of these virtues.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
The Pharisees, among the people of God, were remarkable for
many such virtues; they had a great veneration for the law of God; they
made open profession of piety and devotion; gave large alms to the poor;
fasted and prayed much; were assiduous in all the public observances of
religion; were remarkable for their strict observance of the Sabbath, and
had an abhorrence of all profanation of the holy name of God; yet Jesus
Christ Himself expressly declares, "Except your righteousness exceed that
of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of
Heaven." [Mat. 5: 20] We are told that one of their number went up to the
temple to pray, who was in the eyes of the world a very good man, led an
innocent life, free from those grosser crimes which are so common among
men, fasted twice a week, and gave tithes of all he possessed; yet Christ
Himself assures us that he was condemned in the sight of God.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
All this proves that none of the above good dispositions of
nature are capable in themselves of bringing any man to Heaven. And the
reason is, because "there is no other name given to men under Heaven by
which we can be saved, but the name of Jesus only," [Acts 4: 12];
therefore no good works whatsoever, performed through good dispositions of
nature only, can ever be crowned by God with eternal happiness. To obtain
this glorious reward our good works must be sanctified by the blood of
Jesus, and become Christian virtues. Now, if we search the Holy
Scriptures, we find two conditions absolutely required to make our good
works agreeable to God, and conducive to our salvation.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
First, that we be united to Jesus Christ by True Faith,
which is the root and foundation of all Christian virtues; for St. Paul
expressly says, "Without Faith it is impossible to please God." (Heb.11:
6) Observe the word impossible; He does not say it is difficult, but that
it is impossible. Let, therefore, a man have ever so many good natural
dispositions, and be as charitable, devout, and mortified as the Pharisees
were, yet if he have not True Faith in Jesus Christ, he cannot, enter into
the kingdom of Heaven. They refused to believe in Him, and therefore all
their works were good for nothing as to their salvation; and unless our
righteousness exceed theirs in this point, as Christ Himself assures us,
we shall never enter into His heavenly kingdom. But even True Faith
itself, however necessary, is not sufficient alone to make our good works
available to salvation; for it is necessary.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Second, we must be in charity with God, in His
friendship and grace, without which even True Faith itself will never save
us. To be convinced of this, let us only give ear to St. Paul, who says,
"Though I should have all Faith, so as to remove mountains, though I
should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, though I should give my
body to be burnt, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing."
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[1 Cor. 13: 2]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
So that let a man be ever so peaceable, regular, inoffensive
and religious in his way, charitable to the poor, and what else you
please, yet if he have not the True Faith of Jesus Christ, and be not in
charity with God, all his apparent virtues go for nothing; it is
impossible for him to please God by them; and if he live and die in that
state they will profit him nothing. Hence it is manifest that those who
die in a false religion, however unexceptionable may be their moral
conduct in the eyes of men, yet, as they have not the True Faith of
Christ, and are not in charity with Him, they are not in the way of
salvation; for nothing can avail us in Christ but "Faith that works by
charity." [Gal. 5: 6]

<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_28" style="text-align: justify;">
excuses in favor of non-Catholics
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 32. But as all this is so evident (regarding the necessity of the
Catholic Church for salvation), how comes it that some nowadays, who
profess themselves members of the Church of Christ, seem to call this
truth in question by continually pleading in favor of those who are not of
their Communion, proposing excuses for them, and using all their endeavors
to prove a possibility of salvation for those who live and die in a false
religion?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. This is one of those devices which the enemy of souls
makes use of in these unhappy times to promote his own cause, and which
there are grounds to fear has, from various reasons, found its way even
among those who belong to the fold of Christ; for,
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(1.) As they live among those who are of false religions, and
often have the most intimate connections with them, they naturally and
most laudably contract a love and affection for them. This makes them at
first unwilling to think their friends should be out of the way of
salvation. Then they proceed to wish and hope they may not be so. Hence
they come to call in question their being so; and from this the step is
easy to grasp at every pretext to persuade themselves they are not so.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(2.) Latitudinarian principles are to be found everywhere in
these our days; an uncovenanted mercy, forsooth, is found to be in God for
Mahometans, Jews, and infidels, which had never been heard of among
Christians. This is gilded over with the specious character of a liberal
way of thinking and generous sentiments; and it is become the fashion to
think and speak in this manner. Now fashion is a most powerful persuasive,
against which even good people are not always proof (immune); and when one
hears those sentiments every day resounding in his ears, and anything that
seems contrary to them ridiculed and condemned, he naturally yields to the
delusion, and turns away his mind from so much as wishing to examine the
strength of these sentiments from fear of finding out their falsehood.
When, from fear of being despised, we wish anything to be true, the
translation is very easy to believe it to be true, and without further
examination every sophistical show of reason in its favor is adopted as
conclusive.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(3.) Worldly interest also very often concurs with its
overbearing influence to produce the same end. A member of the Church of
Christ sees his separated friend in power and credit in the world, and
capable of being of great service to him, and knows, should he embrace the
True Faith, he would lose all his influence, and become unable to serve
him. This makes him cool in wishing his conversion; but the thought that
his friend is not in the way of salvation pains him; he therefore begins
to wish he could be saved as he is in his own religion. Hence he comes to
hope but that he may, and gladly adopts any show of proof to make him
think that he will. It is true, indeed, all these reasons would have
little influence with a sincere member of the Church of Christ, who
understands, his religion, and has a just sense of what it teaches him on
this head. But the great misfortune of many who adopt these loose ways of
thinking and speaking is,
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(4.) That they are ignorant of the grounds of their religion;
they do not examine the matter thoroughly, and if once they be infected by
the spirit of the day, they are unwilling to examine; they even take it
amiss if any zealous friend should attempt to undeceive them, and grasping
at those miserable sophisms which are alleged in favor of their loose way
of thinking, refuse to open their eyes to the truth, or even to look at
the reasons which support it.
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_29" style="text-align: justify;">
erroneous ideas of invincible ignorance
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 33. What are those sophistical arguments by which they are
so much deceived?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. We have seen them above, and fully confuted them one by one. But
their great mistake arises from their erroneous ideas of invincible
ignorance and the conditions required to be a member of the Church of
Christ. For as they must either deny their own Faith, or allow this
general proposition, that "without Faith it is impossible to please God,"
whilst they admit the truth of this, they pretend that, as invincible
ignorance will excuse a man before God in all other cases; so it must
excuse him in this also and therefore, that though a man have not the True
Faith, "invincible ignorance will save him" — not adverting to the two
senses which these words contain, one of which is certainly true, and the
other no less certainly false. Invincible ignorance will indeed save him
from the guilt of having a false faith, and of not having the True Faith:
this is certainly true. But to say that invincible ignorance will save him
— that is, will bring him to salvation — is certainly false, as all we
have seen above fully proves.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Again, whilst they admit this other general proposition, that
"out of the True Church of Christ there is no salvation," which they must
acknowledge, or give up their own religion, they suppose that a man may be
a member of the True Church in the sight of God though not joined with her
in Communion, as all Baptized children are, though born in heresy, at
least till they come to the age of judging for themselves. Their mistake
lies in not reflecting that all adults in a false religion can be members
of the Church in the sight of God in no other sense than those were of
whom our Savior says, "Other sheep I have who are not of this fold." But
as He expressly declared that it was necessary to bring even those to the
Communion of His Church, this evidently shows that they and all such are
not members of the Church in such a way that they can be saved in their
present state without being joined in her Communion.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 34. But is it not laudable and praiseworthy to show all
indulgence and condescension to those who are without and to behave
towards them with all lenity and mildness?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. Most undoubtedly: it is not only laudable, but a strict
duty, as far as truth can go. But to betray the truth with any such view
must be grievous crime, and highly prejudicial to both parties.
Experience, in fact, shows that the loose way of thinking and speaking,
which some members of the True Church have of late adopted, is productive
of the worst consequences, both to themselves and to those whom they
desire to favor.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(1.) Those who are separated from the Church of Christ well
know that she constantly professes, as an article of her Creed, that
without the True Faith, and out of her Communion, there is no salvation.
When, therefore, they see the members of that Church talking doubtfully on
this point, seeming to question the truth of the doctrine, and even
alleging pretexts and excuses to explain it away, what can they think?
What effect must this have upon their minds? Must it not tend to
extinguish any desire of inquiring after the truth which God may have
given them, and to shut their hearts against any such good thought?
Self-love never fails eagerly to lay hold of everything that favors its
wishes; and if once they find this truth called in question, even by those
who profess to believe it, they will consider it as a mere school dispute,
and think no more about the matter.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(2.) This way of thinking and speaking naturally tends to
extinguish all zeal for the salvation of souls in the hearts of those who
adopt it; for whilst they persuade themselves that there is a possibility
of salvation for those who die in a false faith and out of the Church of
Christ, self-love will easily incline them not to give themselves any
trouble about their conversion; nay, it has sometimes even gone so far as
to make some think it more advisable not to endeavor to undeceive them,
lest it should change their present excusable ignorance, as they call it,
into a culpable obstinacy, not reflecting that, by their pious and zealous
endeavors, they may be brought to the knowledge of the truth, and save
their souls, whereas, through their uncharitable neglect, they may be
deprived of so great a happiness. Woe to the world, indeed, if the first
preachers of Christianity had been of such unchristian sentiments!
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_30" style="text-align: justify;">
ready for worldly motives to expose Faith to danger
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(3.) It is no less prejudicial to the members of the Church
themselves to embrace such ways of thinking; for it cannot fail to cool
their zeal and esteem for religion, to make them, more careless of
preserving their Faith, ready for worldly motives to expose it to danger,
and in time of temptation to forsake it entirely. In fact, if a man be
thoroughly persuaded of the truth of his holy religion, and of the
necessity of being a member of the Church of Christ, how is it possible he
should ever expose himself to any occasion of losing so great a treasure,
or for any worldly fear or favor to abandon it? Since experience shows
then that many, for some trifling worldly advantage, do expose themselves
to such danger, by going to places where they cannot practice their
religion, but find every inducement to leave it, or, by engaging in
employments inconsistent with their duty, expose their children to the
same dangerous occasions, this can arise only from want of a just idea of
the importance of their religion; and, upon a strict examination, it is
always found that some degree or other of the above latitudinarian
sentiments is the radical cause.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(4.) Besides, if a person once begin to hesitate about the
importance of his religion, what esteem or regard can he have for the
laws, rules, or practices of it? Self-love, always attentive to its own
satisfaction will soon tell him that, if it be not absolutely necessary to
be of that religion, much less necessary must it be to submit to all its
regulations; hence liberties are taken in practice, the commands of the
Church are despised, the exercises of devotion neglected, and a shadow of
religion introduced under the show of liberal sentiments, to the
destruction of all solid virtue and piety.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 35. What shall we say of those members of the Church of
Christ who actually abandon their religion, and renounce their Faith?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. As God Himself has given a full and distinct answer to
this question in three different places of His Holy Scriptures, it would
be presumption to answer it in any other words than His Own.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
First, He says, by the mouth of His holy Apostle St. Paul,
"It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, have tasted also
the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, have,
moreover, tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to
come, and are fallen away, to be renewed again into penance, crucifying
again to themselves the Son of God, and making a mockery of Him. For the
earth that drinketh in the rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth
forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from
God: but that which bringeth forth thorns and briers is rejected, and very
near to a curse, whose end is to be burnt." [Heb. 6: 4] On which passage
the late learned and pious publisher of the Rheims New Testament says, in
the note, "that it is impossible for such as have fallen after Baptism to
be again Baptized; and very hard for such as have apostatized from the
Faith, after having received many graces, to return again to the happy
state from which they fell."
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Again, "If we sin willfully," says the same holy Apostle,
"after having received the knowledge of the truth, there is left no
sacrifice for sins, but a certain dreadful expectation of judgment, and
the rage of a fire which shall consume the adversaries," [Heb. 10: 26]: on
which the same learned author says, — "He speaks of the sin of willful
apostasy from the known truth; after which, as we cannot be Baptized
again, we cannot expect to have that abundant remission of sins, which
Christ purchased by His death, applied to our souls in that ample manner
as it is in Baptism; but we have rather all manner of reason to look for a
dreadful judgment; the more because apostates from the known truth seldom
or never have the grace to return to it."
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, By the mouth of the holy Apostle St. Peter, God thus
declares the state of such people: "For, if fleeing from the pollutions of
the world, through the knowledge of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they
be again entangled in them, and overcome, their latter state is become to
them worse than the former. For it had been better for them never to have
known the way of justice, than after they have known it, to turn back from
that Holy Commandment which was delivered to them. For that of the true
proverb hath happened to them. The dog is returned to his own vomit, and
the sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire." [2 Pet. 2: 20]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 36. You said above that it is only of late that this
loose way of thinking necessity of true faith, and of being in Communion
which the Church of Christ, which we have been examining, has appeared
among the members of the Church: was not the same language held by
Christians in all former ages?<br />
</p>
<h4 id="sigil_toc_id_31" style="text-align: justify;">
invincible ignorance is deceptive evasion
</h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. Far from it; and this is one of the greatest grounds of
its condemnation. It is a novelty, it is a new doctrine; it was unheard of
from the beginning; nay, it is directly opposite to the uniform doctrine
of all the great lights of the Church in all former ages. These great and
holy men, the most unexceptionable witnesses of the Christian Faith in
their days, knew no other language on this subject but what they saw
spoken before them by Christ and His Apostles; they knew their Divine
Master had declared, "He that believeth not shall be condemned;" they
heard His Apostle proclaiming a dreadful anathema against any one, though
an Angel from Heaven, who should dare to alter the gospel he had preached,
[Gal. 1: 8]; they heard him affirming in express terms, that "without
Faith it is impossible to please God"; and they constantly held the same
language. And as they saw not the smallest ground in Scripture for
thinking that those who were out of the Church could be saved by
invincible ignorance, that deceptive evasion is not so much as once to be
met with in all their writings.
</p>

<h3 id="sigil_toc_id_32" style="text-align: justify;">PART 10</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 37. In what manner, then, do these holy Saints express themselves on
this subject?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. It would be endless to collect all their testimonies; the
few that follow may suffice as a sample of the whole. St. Ignatius, Bishop
of Antioch, and disciple of the Apostles, in his epistle to the
Philadelphians, says, "Those who make a separation shall not inherit the
kingdom of God." St. Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, and Martyr in the second
age, says, "The Church is the gate of life, but all the others are thieves
and robbers, and therefore to be avoided." [De Haer., lib. i. c. 3] St.
Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage, and Martyr about the middle of the third age,
says, "The house of God is but one, and no one can have salvation but in
the Church." [Epist. 62, alias 4] And in his book on the unity of the
Church, he says, "He cannot have God for His Father who has not the Church
for His Mother. If anyone could escape who was out of the ark of Noah,
then he who is out of the Church may also escape." So much for these most
primitive fathers.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
In the 4th Century, St. Chrysostom speaks thus: "We know that
salvation belongs to the Church ALONE, and that no one can partake of
Christ, nor be saved, out of the Catholic Church and the Catholic Faith,"
[Hom. 1. in Pasch.]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
St. Augustine, in the same age, says, "The Catholic Church
alone is the Body of Christ; the Holy Ghost gives life to no one who is
out of this Body," [Epist. 185, § 50, Edit. Bened.] And in another place,
"Salvation no one can have but in the Catholic Church. Out of the Catholic
Church he may have anything but salvation. He may have honor, he may have
Baptism, he may have the gospel, he may both believe and preach in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; but he can find
salvation nowhere but in the Catholic Church," [Serm. ad Cresarieus de
Emerit] Again: "In the Catholic Church," says he, "there are both good and
bad. But those that are separated from her, as long as their opinions are
opposite to hers, cannot be good. For though the conversation of some of
them appears commendable, yet their very separation from the Church makes
them bad, according to that of our Savior, [Luke 11: 23], 'He that is not
with Me is against Me and he that gathers not with Me scattereth'."
[Epist. 209, ad Feliciam]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Lactantius, another great light of the fourth age, says, "It
is the Catholic Church only which retains the true worship. This Church is
the fountain of truth, it is the house of Faith, it is the temple of God.
If anyone either comes not into this Church, or departs from it, his
eternal salvation is desperate. No one must flatter himself obstinately,
for his soul and salvation are at stake." [Divin. Instit., lib. iv. c. 30]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
St. Fulgentius, in the 6th Century, speaks thus: "Hold most
firm and without any doubt that no one who is Baptized out of the Catholic
Church can partake of eternal life, if, before the end of this life, he be
not restored to the Catholic Church and incorporated therein." [Lib. de
Fid., c. 37] These are sufficient to show the Faith of the Christian World
in all preceding ages; for all the holy writers of Christianity, in every
age, speak on this subject in the same strain.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 38. These testimonies are strong, and speak plainly to the
purpose; but after such proofs is it not a matter of surprise that anybody
should call this point in question?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. This, indeed, can be accounted for only by the general
spirit of worldliness and disregard of all religion which now so
universally prevails; for the first Reformers and some of their followers,
seeing the strong proofs from Scripture for this doctrine, and not finding
the smallest foundation in these sacred writings to support the contrary,
have fairly acknowledged it, however much it made against themselves. We
have seen how the divines at Westminster speak on this matter in the
Confession of Faith, used to this day by the Church of Scotland, and which
was ratified and adopted by the General Assembly in the year 1647, as the
standard of their religion. But their predecessors in the preceding
century, when the Presbyterian religion first began in Scotland, speak no
less clearly on the same subject; for in their Confession of Faith,
authorized by Parliament in the year 1560, "as a doctrine grounded upon
the infallible Word of God," they speak thus, Article xvi.: "As we believe
in one God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, so we do most constantly believe,
that from the beginning there hath been, and now is, and to the end of the
world shall be, one Kirk (Church) — that is to say, one company and
multitude of men, chosen by God, who rightly worship and embrace Him by
True Faith in Jesus Christ; . . . which Kirk is Catholic — that is,
universal; because it containeth the elect of all ages, etc.; out of which
Kirk there is neither life nor eternal felicity: and therefore we utterly
abhor the blasphemy of them that affirm that men which live according to
equity and justice shall be saved, what religion soever they have
professed." This confession of the original Kirk of Scotland was reprinted
and published in Glasgow in the year 1771, from which this passage is
taken. Calvin himself confesses the same truth, in these words, speaking
of the visible Church: "Out of its bosom," says he, "no remission of sins,
no salvation is to be hoped for, according to Isaiah, Joel, and Ezekiel; .
. . so that it is always highly pernicious to depart from the Church;" and
this he affirms in his Institutions themselves.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">[B. iv. c. 1, 4]</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
We shall add one testimony more, which is particularly
strong; it is of Dr. Pearson, a bishop of the Church of England, in his
exposition of the Creed, edit. 1669, where he says, "The necessity of
believing the Catholic Church appeared, first, in this, that Christ hath
appointed it as the only way to eternal life. We read at the first, [Acts
2: 47] 'That the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved;'
and what was then daily done hath been done since continually. Christ
never appointed two ways to Heaven; nor did He build a Church to save
some, and make another institution for other men's salvation — [Acts 4:
12], 'There is no other name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved, but the name of Jesus; and that name is no otherwise given under
Heaven than in the Church. As none were saved from the deluge but such as
were within the ark of Noah, framed for their reception by the command of
God; as none of the first-born of Egypt lived but such as were within
those habitations whose doorposts were sprinkled with blood, by the
appointment of God, for their preservation; as none of the inhabitants of
Jericho could escape the fire or sword but such as were within the house
of Rahab, for whose protection a covenant was made; — so NONE shall ever
escape the eternal wrath of God who belong not to the Church of God."
Behold how far the force of truth prevailed among the most eminent members
of the Reformation before latitudinarian principles had crept in among
them! What a reproach must this be before the judgment-seat of God to
those members of the Church of Christ who call in question or seek to
invalidate this great and fundamental truth, the very fence and barrier of
the true religion; which is so repeatedly declared by God in His Holy,
Scriptures, professed by the Church of Christ in all ages, attested in the
strongest terms by the most eminent lights of Christianity, and candidly
acknowledged by the most celebrated writers and diviners of the
Reformation! Will not every attempt to weaken the importance of this
Divine truth be considered by the great God as betraying His cause and the
interests of His Holy Faith? And will those who do so be able to plead
even their favorite invincible ignorance in their own defense before him?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 39. What are the proper sentiments and dispositions which
this great truth ought to produce in the hearts and conduct of those who
are members of the Church of Christ?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. Nothing can contribute more effectually to produce the
most necessary and salutary dispositions in their hearts, both towards
God, towards one another, and towards those who are separated from their
Communion, than the frequent and serious consideration of their vocation
to the Faith of Christ, and to the Communion of that Church out of which
there is no salvation.
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
With regard to God, it cannot fail to inspire them with the
most tender sentiments of affection, love, and gratitude towards Him, to
see themselves so highly favored by His infinite goodness, without any
merit on their part, and in preference to so many thousands of others who
are left in ignorance and error. They ought never to cease praising and
adoring Him for so great and inestimable a favor, and ought to be
assiduous in giving proof of the sincerity of their gratitude and love to
Him, by a continual obedience to His Commandments. How agreeable such
things are to Almighty God, and how much He requires them from those whom
He has so highly favored, is evident from His Own Divine Word, where we
are frequently put in mind of the greatness of the grace of our vocation,
and pressingly commanded to make a proper return to God for it, by these
holy virtues. "Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ,"
says St. Paul, "Who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in
heavenly things in Christ, as He hath chosen us in Him before the
foundation of the world, that we should be holy and unspotted in His sight
in charity: . . . Wherefore I cease not to make commemoration of you in my
prayers, that the God of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may
give unto you the spirit and of wisdom, of revelation in the knowledge of
Him; the eyes of your heart enlightened, that you may know what is the
hope of His calling, and what are the riches of the glory of His
inheritance in the Saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His
power towards us, who believe according to the operation of the might of
His power which He wrought in Christ." [Eph. 1: 3]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Behold how ardently he desires that we may have a proper
sense of that great mercy! And a little after, describing the greatness of
this favor, and the return it requires from us, he says, "By Him (Christ)
we have access in one Spirit to the Father. Now, therefore ye are no more
strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the Saints and
domestics of God, built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets,
Jesus Christ, Himself being the chief cornerstone." [Eph. 2: 18] "For you
were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk ye as the
children of light; for the fruit of the light is in all goodness, and
justice and truth; proving what is well-pleasing to God: and have no
fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness." [Eph. 5: 8] In another
place he says, that ye may walk worthy of God in all things pleasing, . .
. giving thanks to God the Father, Who hath made us worthy to be partakers
of the lot of the Saints in light; Who hath delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us to the kingdom of His beloved Son." [Col.
1: 10] And again, writing to Titus, he says, "It is a faithful saying, and
these things I will have thee affirm constantly, that they who believe in
God may be careful to excel in good works." [Tit. 3: 8]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, to show the absolute necessity of this grateful
correspondence on our part with great goodness of God towards us, he
assures us that it is only on condition of our persevering in our Holy
Faith, and in the hope of our calling, that we can expect the eternal
reward of being presented spotless before God: "Whereas," says he, "ye
were sometimes alienated, and enemies in mind, in evil works; yet now He
hath reconciled you in the Body of His Flesh, to present you holy, and
unspotted, and blameless before Him, if so ye continue in the Faith
grounded and settled, and immovable from the gospel which ye have heard,
which is preached in all the creation which is under Heaven." [Col. 1: 21]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
St. Peter also describes the grace of our vocation in the
most beautiful terms, and assures us that the very design of God in
calling us was that we might make a suitable return to Him by declaring
His praises. "Ye are a chosen generation, a kingly priesthood, a holy
nation, a purchased people, that ye may declare the virtues (or praises)
of Him Who hath called you out of darkness into His admirable light." [1
Pet. 2: 9] How great an obligation does all this lay us under of living
good and studying in all things to do the will of God, especially when
Christ Himself expressly says, "So let your light shine before men, that
they, seeing your good works, may glorify your Father Who is in Heaven!"
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<h3 id="sigil_toc_id_33" style="text-align: justify;">
PART 11: CONCLUSION
</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 40. What are the dispositions and behavior which this inestimable
goodness of God requires in the members of His Church towards one another?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. St. Paul describes them to us in a very strong light, as
follows: "I, therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that ye walk
worthy of the vocation in which ye are called with all humility and
mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity; careful to
keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. One body, one spirit,
as ye are called in one hope of our calling; one Lord, one Faith, one
Baptism; one God and Father of all, Who is above all, and through all, and
in us all." [Eph. 4: 1] See here in what strong colors he shows that
humility, meekness, and brotherly love, are virtues essential to our
vocation, and that everything belonging to our holy religion requires that
we should live in the constant practice of them; that we are all united in
one body, the Church of Christ — animated by one spirit, the spirit of
Jesus, which guides and conducts that body into all truth; that we are
called to one hope of our calling, the possession of God Himself in
eternal glory; that we all serve one Lord, Our Lord Jesus Christ; that we
all profess one Faith, that Holy Faith which He revealed to mankind,
without which it is impossible to please God; that we are all sanctified
by one Baptism, that we all serve one God; that we are all children of one
Father, and that this heavenly Father is ever present with us, and our
whole conduct is naked and open before Him. How unbecoming, then, must it
be in the eyes of this Our Father, to see us entertaining discords or
ill-will among ourselves? And how unworthy of our vocation, and
dishonorable to our religion, if, being members of the same body, servants
of the same master, and children of the same father, united together in so
many strong ties of religion, we should live in animosity and enmity with
each other?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
In another place, the same holy Apostle, describing the
dispositions necessary for those whom God has called, as His elect, to the
inestimable grace of being members of His Holy Church, says: "Put ye on,
therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, the bowels of mercy,
benignity, humility, modesty, patience, bearing with one another, and
forgiving one another: if anyone have a complaint against another, even as
the Lord hath forgiven you, so do ye also." [Col. 3: 12]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
And the contrary behavior is so unbecoming and so unworthy of our
vocation, that St. James declares it to be even diabolical. "If ye have
bitter zeal and contentions in your heart, glory not, and be not liars
against the truth; for this is not wisdom descending from above, but
earthly, sensual, devilish." [James 3: 14] All this is drawn from the
express doctrine of our great Master Himself, Who not only commands all
His followers to live in brotherly love and union among themselves, but
declares this to be so connected with their vocation, that it is the
distinguishing sign of their belonging to him: "By this shall all men
know," says He, "that ye are My disciples, if ye love one another." [John
13: 35]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Q. 41. What are the dispositions which the members of the
Church of Christ ought to have, and what line of conduct should they
follow towards those who are separated from their Communion?
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
A. It is impossible to have a real and sincere love of God,
without also loving everything that is connected with Him; and the more
nearly anything is connected with God, the greater must our love be
towards it. Now, all those who are in a false religion, though separated
from the Communion of the Church, yet have in many other respects a very
near connection with God, for they are His creatures, the work of His
hands, made for His glory; they are His images, made after the likeness
and similitude of God; they are redeemed by the Blood of Jesus, Who died
for mankind; they are created to be eternally happy with Him in Heaven for
God wills not the death of a sinner, but rather that he should turn and
live. All these considerations show that we are bound to have a sincere
and fervent love for them, and a charitable zeal for their eternal
salvation, and consequently to have the most tender sympathy and
compassion for them, considering the danger in which their souls are; and
this is the radical and essential disposition of our hearts, which we are
bound to have towards all mankind, without exception. Of this we have a
beautiful example in St. Paul, who thus expresses the dispositions of his
heart towards his brethren, the unbelieving Jews: "I speak the truth in
Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
that I have great sadness and sorrow in my heart: for I wished myself to
be anathema" (that is, a curse) "from Christ, for my brethren, who are my
kinsmen according to the flesh." [Rom. 9: 1]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
Now, this sincere love and zeal for their salvation ought to
show itself principally in these following points:
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(1.) "To be always ready to satisfy everyone that asketh us a
reason of the hope that is in us." [1 Pet. 3: 15] — that is, to be always
willing and ready to explain our Holy Faith to them and to show them the
grounds upon which our Faith is built, whenever any of them ask us to do
so. This should be done with all modesty and mildness towards them, not
entering into idle disputes, nor keeping up contentions with heat and
acrimony, even though they should be ever so unreasonable in what they say
against us, but giving an account of the hope that is in us with mildness
and charity, and leaving the test to the dispositions of Divine
Providence; for the Scripture says, "Avoid foolish questions, knowing that
they beget strifes; but the servant of the Lord must not wrangle, but be
mild towards all men, apt to teach, patient, with modesty admonishing them
that resist the truth, if peradventure God may give them repentance to
know the truth, and they may recover themselves from the snares of the
devil, by whom they are held captive at will,"
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
[2 Tim. 2: 23]; and "to walk with wisdom towards them that are without; so
that your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt, that ye may know
how ye ought to answer every man." [Col. 4: 5]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(2.) To be earnest in praying to God for their conversion and
salvation, is as expressly commanded in Scripture: "I desire, therefore,
first of all, that supplications; prayers, intercessions, and
thanksgivings, be made for all men, . . . for this is good and acceptable
in the sight of God, Who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the
knowledge of the truth." [1 Tim. 2: 1] We have a beautiful example of this
in the same holy Apostle, who, full of charity for the salvation of the
Jews, pities their mistaken zeal for their own errors, and pours forth the
prayers of his heart for them: "Brethren," says he, "the will of my heart,
indeed, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation; for I bear them
witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge."
[Rom. 10: 1]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
(3.) To give them good example, by the exercise of good
works, and the practice of all Christian virtues. Nothing is of greater
efficacy to give others a favorable opinion of our holy religion than a
good life. This is a living argument which teaches the most ignorant and
convinces the most obstinate. And hence we find this repeatedly commanded
in the Scriptures on purpose to give edification to those who are without,
and to excite them to glorify God. "So let your light shine," says Jesus
Christ Himself, "before men, that they, seeing your good works, may
glorify your heavenly Father." [Matt. 5: 16] And St. Peter expresses
himself thus, on this important duty: "Dearly beloved, I beseech you, as
strangers and pilgrims, to refrain yourselves from carnal desires which
war against your soul, having your conversation good among the Gentiles;
that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, considering you by your
good works, they may give glory to God in the day of visitation; . . . for
so is the will of God, that by doing well ye may put to silence the
ignorance of foolish men." [1 Pet. 2: 11, 15] St. Paul also requires the
same thing, saying, "In all things show thyself an example of good works,
in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity; thy speech sound that cannot be
blamed, that he who is on the contrary part may be afraid, having no evil
to say of us." [Tit. 2: 7]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">
But (4.) Lastly, if not withstanding such pious and edifying
behavior, persecutions and trials should be permitted by the Divine
Providence to come upon us for His Own wise and just purpose, if we should
be evil spoken of falsely, if the truths of our holy religion should be
calumniated, and our doctrine misrepresented, we must not be surprised nor
disheartened; but remember that this is the way the world treated Our Lord
and Master Himself, Who foretold that His faithful followers should be
treated in the same manner. St. Peter also assures us that this is one of
the signs of those who follow sects of perdition, to speak evil of the
truth, "through whom," says he, "the way of truth shall be evil spoken
of," [2 Pet. 2: 2]; and St. Jude adds, "that they blaspheme whatever
things they know not." [Jude 10] Neither ought such trials to diminish,
even in the smallest degree, our sincere charity for them, and our desire
of their salvation; but rather increase our pity and compassion for their
poor souls, and make us more earnest in praying for them, imitating our
blessed Savior Who, on the Cross itself, prayed for His persecutors:
"Father," said He, "forgive them, for they know not what they are doing."
Above all things, we must never entertain the least thought of revenge,
"not rendering evil for evil, not railing for railing, but contrariwise
blessing; for unto this ye are called, that may inherit a blessing." [1
Pet. 3: 9] On the contrary, looking on our trials as all disposed and
ordered by the hand of God, "Without Whom not a hair of our head can fall
to the ground," we must "rejoice to be counted worthy to suffer ignominy
for the sake of Christ." [Acts 5: 41] For "if also ye suffer anything for
justice' sake, blessed are ye; . . . for it is better doing well (if such
be the will of God) to suffer, than doing ill." [1 Pet. 3: 14, 17] And
therefore, "Dearly beloved, think not strange the burning heat that is to
try you, as if some new thing happened to you; but if ye partake of the
sufferings of Christ rejoice that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye
may also be glad With exceeding joy. If ye be reproached for the name of
Christ, ye shall be happy; for that which is of the honor, glory, and
power of God and that which is His spirit, resteth upon you. But let none
of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a railer, or a coveter of
other men's things; but if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let
him glorify God in this name," [1 Pet. 4: 12] — always remembering the
words of Our Lord: "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute
you, and say all that is evil against you falsely, for My sake: be glad,
and rejoice, for your reward is great in Heaven." [Matt. 5: 2]

Necessary to be Read. [every dogma admits of no interpretation contrary
to that which it has received from the beginning.]</h3>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
St.
Paul, in his epistle to St. Timothy, exclaims: "O Timothy, keep that
which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the profane novelties of
words, and oppositions of knowledge falsely so called." (l. Tim. vi.
20.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Who
is at present this Timothy?" asks Vincent of Lerins, and he answers: It
is the Body of the Pastors of the Church, and therefore every Pastor
must apply these words of St. Paul to himself: O Timothy, O Pastor, O
Doctor, O Priest, "Keep that which is committed to thy trust," pure and
undefiled, "earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the
saints; " (Jude, v. 3); never depart from the <i>sacred words</i> of God, "once put into thy mouth." (Isai. lix. 21.) "You, therefore," says Bishop Hay, "<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">must
never know what it is to temporize in religion, in order to please men,
nor to adulterate even one iota of the Gospel of Christ to humor them. </span>You
must declare the sacred truths revealed by Jesus Christ in their
original simplicity, without seeking to adorn them with the persuasive
words of human wisdom, much less disguise them in a garb not their own.
Truth, plain and unadorned, is the only weapon you must employ against
your adversaries, regardless of their censure or their approbation.
'This is the truth,' you must say, 'revealed by God; this you must
embrace, or you can have no part with him.' <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">If the world looks upon
what you say as foolishness, you must not be surprised</span>, for you know
that 'the sensual man perceiveth not the things that are of the spirit
of God; for it is foolishness to him, and he cannot understand' (I.
Cor. ii. 14.) ; 'but that the foolishness of God is wiser than men;'
and pitying this blindness you must earnestly pray to God to enlighten
them, 'with modesty admonishing them . . . if, peradventure, God may
give them repentance to know the truth.' (II. Tim. ii. 25.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"If
there ever was a time when it was especially necessary for every Pastor
of the Church to watch over the purity of faith and morals which the
Church has entrusted to him, it is the present age and country, in
which so many condescensions and compliances are admitted and received
at the expense of the purity of Catholic faith and morals, and the
narrow way that leads to life is converted, in the opinion of men, to
the broad road that leads to destruction.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"This remark applies especially to that latitudinarian principle so common now-a-days, that a <i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">man may be saved in any religion, provided he lives a good moral life, according to the light he has</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">;
for, by this, the faith of Christ is evacuated, and the Gospel rendered
of no avail</span>; a Jew, a Turk, a Heathen, are all comprehended in this
scheme, and if they live a good moral life have as good a right to
salvation as a Christian!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"To
be a member of the Church of Christ is no longer necessary, since, if
we lead a good moral life, we are in the state of salvation, whether we
belong to her or not! What a wide field does this give to the passions
of men! What liberty to all the whims of the human mind! It is
therefore of the utmost consequence to state and to show plainly the
revealed Catholic truth that '<i>there is no salvation out of the Catholic Church</i>.'"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
It
must be remembered that <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">every Catholic dogma is a revealed truth that
has always been held by the Fathers of the Church from the beginning
</span>and must, therefore, be interpreted, not according to modern opinions
and latitudinarian principles, but according to the faith of the
Fathers and Doctors of the Church; and therefore Vincent of Lerins
says: "A true Catholic is he who loves the truth revealed by God, who
loves the Church, the Body of Christ, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">who esteems religion, the
Catholic faith, higher than any human authority, talents, eloquence,
and philosophy; all this he holds in contempt</span>, and remains firm and
unshaken in the faith which, he knows, has always from the beginning
been held by the Catholic Church; and if he notices that any one, no,
matter who he may be, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">interprets a dogma in a manner different from
that of the Fathers of the Church, he understands that God permits such
an interpretation to be made, not for the good of religion, but as a
temptation</span>, according to the words of St. Paul: 'For there must be also
heresies; that they also, who are reproved, may be made manifest among
you.' (I Cor. xi. 19) 'And indeed, no sooner are novel opinions
proclaimed, than it becomes manifest what kind of a Catholic a man is:'
(Commonit.) Hence, as St. Augustine says, 'a theologian who is humble,
will <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">never teach anything as true Catholic doctrine, unless he is
perfectly certain of the truth which he asserts, and proves it from
Holy Scripture and the Tradition of the Church</span>.' Those who have learned
theology well,' says St. Basil, will not allow one iota of Catholic
dogmas to be betrayed. They will, if necessary, willingly undergo any
kind of death in their defence.'</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"They will propose each dogma, especially the all-important dogma, "<i>out of the Church there is No salvation</i>,"
in the words of the Church and explain it as she understands it; they
are <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">most careful not to weaken in the least the meaning of this great
dogma</span>, by the way of proposing or explaining it. Why does not St. Paul
say: if any one preach to you a Gospel<i> contrary</i> to that instead of <i>beside</i> that which. we have preached to you? 'It is,' says St. John Chrysostom, 'to show us that<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> one is </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">accursed</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> who </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">even indirectly</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> weakens the least truth of the Gospel.</span>' (Cornelius a Lapide in Epist. ad Gal. I. 8)"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"As
there is," says Pius IX., "but one God the Father, one Christ his Son,
one Holy Ghost, so there is also only one divinely revealed truth, only
one divine faith - the beginning of man's salvation and the foundation
of all justification, by which (faith) the just man lives, and without
which it is impossible to please God and to be admitted to the
Communion of his children; and there is but one true, holy, Catholic,
Roman Church and divine teaching Authority, (cathedra) founded upon
Peter by the living voice of the Lord, <i>out of which (Church) there is neither the</i> TRUE FAITH <i>nor</i> ETERNAL
SALVATION, since no one, can have God for his Father, who has not the
Church for his Mother." (Encycl. Letter, March 17, 1856.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
Holy Ghost," says St. Augustine, "is to the Body of Christ, which is
the Church, what the human soul is to the human body. It is by the soul
that each member of the body lives and acts. In like manner, it is by
the Holy Ghost that the just man lives and acts. As the soul does not
follow a member which is cut off from the body, so, in like manner,
does the Holy Ghost not follow a member which has been justly cut off
from the Body of Christ. He, therefore, who wishes to obtain life
everlasting, must remain vivified by the Holy Ghost; and in order to
remain vivified by the Holy Ghost we must keep charity, love the truth,
and desire unity." (Serm. 267.) "Therefore no one can find life
everlasting except in the Catholic Church." (Serm. ad Caesarenses)
"Where unity is wanting, there can be no divine charity. Hence it is
that divine charity can be kept only in the Catholic Church." (Contr.
lit. Petil., lib. ii., cap. 77.) Now, as no one can obtain salvation
without having the spirit of Christ, or divine charity, and as this
spirit or divine virtue, which is called the soul of the Church, is
kept only in the unity of the Church, it is evident that out of the
Church there is positively no salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
It
must be remembered that <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">every dogma is exclusive, and admits of no
interpretation contrary to that which it has received from the
beginning.</span> To every dogma, therefore, may be added what Pius IX. added
to the definition of the Immaculate Conception of the Ever Blessed
Virgin Mary, namely: "Wherefore, if any persons - which God forbid -
shall <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://presume.to&source=gmail&ust=1595989852684000&usg=AFQjCNFcxSkdyH4Oba7ukWu5VAOSXw5JYg" href="http://presume.to/" target="_blank">presume.to</a> think in their hearts otherwise than we have defined,
let them know that they are condemned by their own judgment, that they
have suffered shipwreck in faith, and have fallen away from the unity
of the Church."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Let
those, therefore," says Vincent of Lerins, "who have not learned
theology well, learn it better; let them try to understand of each
dogma as much as they are able, and let them believe what they are not
able to understand; let them remember the words of St. Paul: 'If any
one shall teach you anything besides that which you have received, let
him be anathema.' (Ephes. i. 9.) Dediscant bene quod didicerant non
bene; et ex toto Ecclesiae dogmate quod intellectu capi potest capiant,
quod non potest credant. O Timothee, depositum custodi, devitans
prophanas vocum novitates. Si quis vobis annuntiaverit..praeterquam
quod accepistis, anathema sit. (Commonit.) "It is according to this
Catholic and apostolic spirit that we have endeavored to explain our
religion, and especially the great dogma "Out of the Catholic Church
there is positively no salvation." But our explanation, it seems, is
too Catholic for some individuals, because we have not admitted into it
any modern opinions and latitudinarian principles. Believing,
therefore, that "they would do a service to God" and to their
fellowmen, especially to their separated brethren, they have, through
the Buffalo <i>Catholic Union and Times</i>, made known that we have misrepresented Catholic belief concerning the dogma "Out of the Church there is no salvation."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Right Reverend George Hay, Bishop of Edinburgh, Scotland, who, when yet
a Protestant, took the vow to do all he could to extirpate Popery,
wrote a treatise entitled <i>"An Inquiry whether Salvation can be had without true faith and out of the Communion of the Church of Christ."</i> In
this treatise, the pious and very learned Prelate of the Church proves
most clearly that "out of the true Church no one can be saved," and
adds "that it is <i>only of late</i> that that loose way of
thinking and speaking about the necessity of true faith, and of being
in communion with the Church of Christ, has appeared among the members
of the Church, and that this is one of the strongest grounds of its
condemnation. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">It is a novelty, it is a new doctrine; it was unheard of
from the beginning; nay, it is directly opposed to the uniform doctrine
of all the great lights of the Church in all former ages.</span> It is,
therefore; a matter of surprise that anybody should call this point in
question; that indeed this can only be accounted for from the general
spirit of dissipation and disregard for all religion, which so
universally prevails now-a-days; for the first authors of the so-called
reformation, and some of their most candid followers, seeing the strong
proofs from Scripture for this point, and not finding the smallest
foundation in the Sacred Writings to support the contrary, have
solemnly acknowledged it, however much it made against themselves; for
the Protestant Church of Scotland, in her Confession of Faith, agreed
upon by the divines of Westminister, approved by the General Assembly
in the year 1646, and ratified by Act of Parliament in 1649, in the
chapter on the Church speaks thus, "The visible Church, which is also
Catholic or universal under the gospel (not confined to one nation, as
before, under the law), consists of all those throughout the world that
profess the true religion, and of their children, and is the kingdom of
the Lord Jesus Christ, the house and family of God, out of which there
is no ordinary possibility of salvation." (Confession of Faith chap.
xxv.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"But
their predecessors in the preceding century, when the Presbyterian
religion first began in Scotland, speak no less clearly on the same
subject; for in their Confession of Faith, authorized by Parliament in
the year 1560, ' as a doctrine grounded upon the infallible word of
God,' they speak thus, Article xvi.: 'As we believe in one God, Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost, so we do most constantly believe, that from the
beginning there hath been, and now is, and to the end of the world
shall be one Kirk - that is to say, one company and multitude of men,
chosen by God, who rightly worship and embrace him by true faith in
Jesus Christ;. . . which Kirk is Catholic - that is, universal; because
it containeth the elect of all ages, etc.: out of which Kirk there is
neither life nor eternal felicity: and therefore we utterly abhor the
blasphemy of them that affirm that men who live according to equity and
justice shall be saved, what religion so-ever they have professed.'
This confession of the original Kirk of Scotland was reprinted and
published in Glasgow in the year 1771, from which this passage is
taken. Calvin himself confesses the same truth, in these words,
speaking of the visible Church: 'Out of its bosom,' says he, 'no
remission of sins, no salvation is to be hoped for, according to
Isaiah, Joel, and Ezekiel; . . . so that it is always highly pernicious
to depart from the Church;' and this he affirms in his Institutions
themselves, B. iv., c: 1, § 4.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
shall add one testimony more, which is particularly strong; it is of
Dr. Pearson, a Bishop of the Church of England, in his exposition of
the Creed, edit. 1669, where he says, 'The necessity of believing the
Catholic Church appeared, first, in this, that Christ hath appointed it
as the only way to eternal life. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">We read at the first, Acts ii. 47,
"That the Lord added to the Church daily such as should be saved:</span>" and
what was then daily done hath been done since continually. Christ never
appointed two ways to heaven; nor did he build a Church to save some,
and make another institution for other men's salvation (Acts iv. 10):<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">
"There is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved, but the name of Jesus;</span>" and that name is not otherwise given
under heaven than in the Church. As none were saved from the deluge but
such as were within the ark of Noe, framed for their reception by the
command of God;<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #262a2b; background-color: #ccccff;"> as none of the first-born of Egypt lived but such as
were within those habitations whose door-posts were sprinkled with
blood, by the appointment of God, for their preservation; as none of
the inhabitants of Jericho could escape the fire or sword, but such as
were within the house of Rahab, for whose protection a covenant was
made; </span>- so NONE shall ever escape the eternal wrath of God who belong
not to the Church of God.' Behold how far the force of truth prevailed
among the most eminent members of the Reformation before latitudinarian
principles had crept in among them!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is true, indeed, that, though the founders of these Churches, convinced
by the repeated and evident testimonies of the Word of God, professed
this truth, and inserted it in the public standards of their religion,
yet their posterity now disclaim it, and accuse the Catholic Church of
being uncharitable for holding it; but this only shows their
inconsistency, and proves that they are devoid of all certainty in what
they believe; for if it was a divine truth, when these religions were
founded, that<i> out of the true Church, and without the Catholic faith, there is no salvation</i>,
it must be so still; and if their first founders were mistaken on this
point, what security can their followers now have for any other thing
they taught? But the Catholic Church, always consistent and uniform in
her doctrine, always preserving the <i>words once put in her mouth</i> by
her Divine Master, at all times and in all ages has believed and taught
the same doctrine as a truth revealed by God, that 'out of the true
Church of Christ, and without his true faith, there is there is no
possibility of salvation;' and the most authentic public testimony of
her enemies proves that this is the doctrine of Jesus, and of his holy
Gospel, whatever private persons, from selfish and interested motives,
may say to the contrary. 'What a reproach must this be before the
judgment-seat of God to those members of the Church of Christ who call
in question or seek to invalidate this great and <i>fundamental truth</i>, the <i>very fence</i> and <i>barrier</i> of
the true religion; which is so repeatedly declared by God in his Holy
Scriptures, professed by the Church of Christ in all ages, attested in
the strongest terms by the most eminent lights of Christianity, and
candidly acknowledged by the most celebrated writers and divines of the
Reformation! Will not every attempt to weaken the importance of this
divine truth be considered by the great God as betraying his cause and
the interests of his holy faith? and will those who do so be able to
plead even their favorite <i>invincible ignorance</i> in their own defence before him?' (From<i> Sincere Christian</i>, American Edition.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But let us hear a greater Authority speaking, on this all-important subject.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
his Encyclical Letters, dated Dec. 8, 1849; Dec.. 8, 1864; and Aug. 10,
1863, and in his Allocution on Dec. 9, 1854: Pope Pius IX. says: -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is not without sorrow that we have learned another not less pernicious
error, which has been spread in several parts of Catholic countries,
and has been imbibed by many Catholics, <i>who are of opinion that all those who are not at all members of the true Church of Christ, can be saved</i>:
Hence they often discuss the question concerning the <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">future fate and
condition of those who die without having professed the Catholic faith,
and give the most frivolous reasons in support of their wicked opinion</span>
. . . . .</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is indeed of faith that no one can be saved outside of the Apostolic,
Roman Church; that this Church is the one ark of salvation; that he who
has not entered it, will perish in the deluge....</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
must mention and condemn again that most pernicious error, which has
been imbibed by certain Catholics, who are of the opinion that those
people who live in error and have not the true faith, and are separated
from Catholic unity, may obtain life everlasting. Now this opinion is
most contrary to Catholic faith, as is evident from the plain words of
our Lord, (Matt. xviii. 17 ; Mark xvi. 16; Luke x. 16; John iii. 18) as
also from the words of St. Paul, (II. Tim. Iii. 11) and of St. Peter
(II. Peter. ii. 1). To entertain opinions contrary to this Catholic
faith is to be an impious wretch.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
therefore again reprobate, proscribe, and condemn all and every one of
these perverse opinions and doctrines, and it is our absolute will and
command that all sons of the Catholic Church shall hold them as
reprobated, proscribed, and condemned. It belongs to our Apostolic
office to rouse your Episcopal zeal and watchfulness to do all in your
power to banish from the minds of the people such impious and
pernicious opinions, which lead to indifference of religion, which we
behold spreading more and more, to the ruin of souls. Oppose all your
energy and zeal to these errors and employ zealous priests to impugn
and annihilate them, and to<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> impress very deeply upon the minds and
hearts of the faithful the great dogma of our most holy religion, </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">that salvation can be had only in the Catholic faith</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">.</span> Often exhort the clergy and the faithful to give thanks to God for the great gift of the Catholic faith."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now
is it not something very shocking to see such condemned errors and
perverse opinions proclaimed as Catholic doctrine in a Catholic
newspaper, and in books written and recently published by Catholics?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
have, therefore, deemed it our duty to make a strong, vigorous, and
uncompromising presentation of the great and fundamental truth, the
very fence and barrier of the true religion, "OUT OF THE CHURCH THERE
IS POSITIVELY NO SALVATION," against those soft, weak, timid,
liberalizing Catholics who labor to explain away all the points of
Catholic faith offensive to non-Catholics, and to make it appear that
there is no question of life and death, of heaven and hell, involved in
the differences between us and Protestants.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">Not
to free your neighbor from religious errors, says Pope Leo, when it is
in your power to do so, is to show to be in error yourself,</span> and
"therefore," says Pope Gregory, "he whose duty it is to correct his
neighbor when he is in fault, and yet omits to make the correction,
makes himself guilty of the faults of his neighbor." "Indeed," says
Pope Innocent III. of those whose duty it is to keep the deposit of
faith pure and undefiled, "not to oppose erroneous doctrine is to
approve of it, and not to defend at all true doctrine is to suppress
it."</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In 1874 we wrote a little volume, entitled <i>Familar Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i>.
Our Mother, the holy Catholic Church, has wisely decreed that no book
treating of faith and morals shall be printed without the approbation
of the Bishop of the diocese, and that no Bishop shall give his
approbation before the Manuscript has been submitted to the criticism
of a learned and pious theologian, in order that the reader of the book
may know that it contains nothing contrary to faith and morals. (See
Third Plenary Council of Baltimore. p. 100, No. 220.) The Rule of the
Redemptorist Fathers, however, requires that a book written by one of
them must be examined by two learned theologians, before it appears in
print. We submitted our little volume to the criticism of the late very
learned Rev. A. Konings, C. SS. R., Professor of Moral Theology and
Canon Law at the Redemptorist College, Ilchester, Md., to the late Rev.
Doctor Francis J. Freel, then the beloved Pastor of the Church of St.
Charles Borromeo; Brooklyn, L.I., to the late Rev. Father M. Sheehan, a
learned priest of Ireland, and to James A. McMaster, the late learned
Editor of the New York Freeman's Journal. As the little book was very
favorably criticised, it received the <i>Imprimatur</i> of the
Most Rev. J. Roosevelt Bailey, Archbishop of Baltimore, and of the Very
Rev. Jos. Helmpraecht, the Provincial of the Redemptorist Society in
the U. S., and was published in 1875. The little volume had a wide
circulation for these fifteen years. Last year we published, by
Benziger Brothers, a new edition of this little volume, considerably
improved and enlarged.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
the little volume (first edition) we have shown, from page 10 to page
86, that only the Roman Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ on
earth, established for the salvation of mankind, that she is the only
infallible interpreter of the Written and Unwritten Word of God, and
that consequently all those who wish to be saved must die united to
this Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From
page 87 to page 104, we have given several popular reasons why
salvation out of the Roman Catholic Church is impossible for those who
live up to the principles and spirit of Protestantism. In the second
part of this short treatise we speak of those Protestants who are not
guilty of the spirit of Protestantism or the sin of heresy. <i>The Catholic Union and Times</i> of
Buffalo, issued on January 26, 1888, contained an anonymous article,
headed, "A Queer Explanation of Christian Doctrine." The writer of the
article endeavors to prove from a few questions and answers contained
in our Familiar Explanation that we have misrepresented the Catholic
Doctrine, <i>"There is no salvation out of the Roman Catholic Church,"</i>From
the manner in which the article is written, it is evident that it is
not written by an Irish priest, who was educated in Ireland; for if the
whole article were put in the form of questions any Irishman or
Irishwoman would confound the writer of that article by the way of
answering those questions. The writer is probably a convert from the
so-called Episcopalian Church, who was <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">received into the Church without
the gift of divine faith, and consequently understood neither the
spirit of the Catholic faith nor that of Protestantism</span>. If he is not
such a convert, then rest assured that he is a liberal-minded priest.
He gives no other proof for the truth of his assertions than his own
authority, and how great this is appears clearly from the fact that he
did not sign the article, and therefore it deserves no more credit than
a dream-book. The fact that the Rev. Editor of the <i>Buffalo Catholic Union and Times</i> calls the writer of the article <i>"the most prominent priest of the United States"</i> shows his want of prudence, for no sensible man would have called him so; he might have said, a prominent priest of the U. S.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Here is the editorial: "<i>The most prominent priest in the United States</i> has
honored our columns this week with an article upon a most important
matter. The recognized ability of the writer and the recent publicity
given to the points he discusses deserve the editorial space given to
the masterly communication. We hope our readers - and especially our
esteemed Protestant readers--will give this article careful perusal. We <i>endorse his every statement</i> and heartily thank the writer for his able and timely criticism."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Strange, to call a priest THE <i>most prominent</i> priest
in the United States without giving the public his name. The Cardinal
Archbishop, and all other Archbishops, and Bishops, and all the
priests, and even every Catholic of the United States would have
thanked him for letting them know who, in his opinion, is not only a
prominent, but even THE MOST prominent priest in the United States. For
brevity's sake we shall call him "Sir Oracle."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Rev. Editor and his brother-priest, the writer of "Queer article," are
peremptory and self-sufficient in proclaiming their erroneous opinions,
as if they had nothing better to learn from the Church and her holy
doctors. To them may be applied what St. Francis Xavier wrote one day
to one of the Jesuit Fathers; namely: "You, like so many others who
resemble you, are greatly mistaken, when you fancy you can follow your
opinions and judgment, merely for the reason that you are Members of
the Society." (Life of St. Fr. Xav.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Did you read in the <i>Buffalo Union and Times</i>,
the article "Queer Explanation?" I asked a priest. "I did," he
answered: "What did you think of it?" - "I thought the writer of it is
an illustration of what Cardinal Manning says in his work <i>The Vatican Council</i> namely:
`A school of errors partly sprung up in Germany by contact with
Protestantism, and partly in England, by the agency of those who, being
born in Protestantism, have entered the Catholic Church, but have never
been liberated from certain erroneous habits of thought.'"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"What
does your Reverence advise me to do, in the matter? Will it be well for
me to return to "Sir Oracle" the compliments which he has made to the
author of `Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine?'" - "Indeed, it
is not only well, but even a duty for you to do so on account of the
readers of the <i>B. U. and T</i>., some of whom may have
received false impressions, especially liberal Catholics, who never
learned well the reasons of the faith that is in them. Hence,<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> if you
were silent, and omit to give strong proofs for the Catholic doctrine
in question</span>, Catholics and even Protestants who read the article "Queer
Explanation" would, in fact, begin to doubt your doctrine, and that
writer would triumphantly assert that you had been silenced by the
anonymous assertions brought forward by him, and published by the Rev.
Editor of the B. U. and T., who has made that article all his own, by
cheerfully endorsing every statement of it. Expose, therefore, to the
Public his counterfeit theology by contrasting it with sound theology,
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">so clearly explained that even the most ignorant can understand it.</span>"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Should these compliments be returned through the <i>B. U. and T.</i>?" The <i>B.U. and T.</i> would
indeed be bound to communicate them to all its readers; but as the
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">instructions conveyed through a newspaper are easily forgotten, and
often thrown into the waste basket, I advise you to have them printed
and published in pamphlet form</span> through the energetic Publishers,
Benziger Brothers. If you writer these compliments, like all your other
works, and have them published at a cheap price, they will have a wide
circulation, and thousands of <i>Catholics and non-Catholics</i> will
devour them and be benefited by them. If certain priests are so very
ignorant in matters of great importance how ignorant must be those who
never had an opportunity to learn sound Catholic theology concerning
certain dogmatical truths.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"That
there are such also among the German Clergy is evident from the fact
that, in 1886, the Rev. A. Klug published, in Germany, a new catechism,
in which he asserts that `Protestants are saved in those truths which
they hold with us in common.' Cardinal Manning also says in his work, <i>The Vatican Council</i>, `that many of the clergy were brought up in dangerous <i>traditional</i> errors
during two hundred years, up to the time of the Vatican Council; that
their errors were owing to the fact that they never conceived a clear
and precise idea of the Church, because they never had a clear and
precise knowledge of the supreme power of her Head; that, unless this
be distinctly understood, the doctrine of the Church will always be
proportionally obscure; the doctrine of the Church does not determine
the doctrine of the Primacy; but the doctrine of the Primacy does
precisely determine the doctrine of the Church.'</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Many
are still affected by those errors and entertain erroneous views of
certain Catholic doctrines; you know, it is not an easy task to get rid
of the errors of the intellect and of lying spirits. If you, then,
clearly show the errors of these men, you will earn the thanks of the
greater part of the American clergy and laity, and even of many honest
Protestants, who are eager to know the true religion."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
These remarks of a pious priest are very correct.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
present age is completely absorbed in speculations of every
kind—political, commercial, literary, scientific, and even religious;
so that the source whence the rising generation ought to derive more
knowledge of their moral and religious duties is contaminated by
invincible pride<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">, immoderate luxury, ridiculous fashion, self-interest,
and general ignorance of the doctrine of salvation.</span> Hence the
predominant tendency of the present generation is to <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">enjoy material
life, indulge the passions, gratify the sensitive and appetitive
powers</span>, and neglect the religious cultivation of the intellect, heart,
and soul. It is, therefore, the indispensable duty of priests, parents,
and of all those who have the spiritual direction of children and
Christian families, to communicate to all <i>sound Catholic doctrine</i> as
the great means to oppose and to cure the moral leprosy of the age.
This is the only object we had in view in publishing our catechisms and
other larger works for every class of society. Quack doctors in all
sciences, speculating pedants in literature, monopolists of every kind,
and hypocrite in religion and politics, are contemptible in every age
and nation and deserve universal animadversion. This language may
tickle and fret some individuals. The exposition of Catholic doctrine
in our smaller as well as in our larger works is too Catholic for the
consciences of certain men, who, on this account, will not fail to heap
upon us their rancorous and vindictive criticisms in pharisaical
language. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">One day St. Alphonsus said that he could bear in silence
every insult offered to him except one: that of being called a heretic.
</span>We, too, are ready to bear in silence personal insults, except one -
that of having misrepresented Catholic doctrine in any of our works.
Even from our childhood the study of our religion has been our greatest
pleasure; we have always loved it too much to misrepresent any truth
whatsoever. We have taken unspeakable pains to make it plain and
attractive to all classes of society, even to the little ones. We have
never published a line that was not read by excellent theologians
before it went into the hands of the printer. Hence we have felt it our
duty to vindicate, in strong language, the insult which has publicly
been offered to us in the <i>B. U. and T.</i> We have now one
foot in the grave and the other shall soon follow it. We, therefore,
have no reason to be a coward in publishing the truths of the Catholic
religion and in opposing erroneous principles. It would, indeed, be a
great shame for us to keep silence in a matter of the greatest
importance. If there are priests who are bold enough to make false and
fallacious assertions concerning our holy religion, without any due
respect to learned and pious Prelates and priests and the Catholic
Press in general, who have bestowed high praises upon our works, for
their orthodox and solid teaching, we must not be less bold in showing
to the Public the ignorance of those priests in matters in which the
salvation of souls is at stake.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Since we wrote the above we have received a copy of the <i>Buffalo Catholic Union and Times</i>, issued March 22, 1888 in which an article is published, headed <i>"Have Protestants Divine Faith?"</i> The
writer of it is the Rev. Alfred Young, a Paulist Father of New York.
The article is written to corroborate at least part of that written by
the "Most Prominent Priest of the U. S." He praises the Rev. Father
Cronin for having published that article "Queer Explanation." We are
very sorry for the grave errors which these priests have taught the
public, not of course, intentionally, but because they knew not what
they were doing.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
showing their erroneous doctrine on Catholic and Protestant belief in
Christ, etc., we will chiefly follow the doctrine of St. Thomas
Aquinas, and other doctors and eminent theologians of the Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"That
method of teaching," says Pope Leo XIII., "which rests on the authority
and judgment of individual professors, has a changeable basis, and
hence arise different and conflicting opinions which cannot present the
mind of the holy Doctor (Thomas Aquinas) and foster dissensions and
controversies which have agitated Catholic schools for a long time and <i>not without great detriment to Christian Science</i>."
(Brief, June 19. 1886). "St. Thomas, indeed, is a most wise doctor, who
walks within the confines of truth; who not only never disputes with
God, the Head and Fount of all truth, but is always strictly in full
accord with Him, and is always docile to Him when disclosing his
secrets in any manner whatever; who no less piously listens to the
Roman Pontiff when speaking, reveres in him the divine authority; and
fully holds that<i>submission to the Roman Pontiff is necessary to salvation</i>.
(Opusc. contra errores Graecorum). In following St. Thomas Aquinas as
our author and master, we safely teach without any danger of passing
over the boundaries of truth. But to gather and scatter opinions
according to our own will and pleasure is to be reputed the vilest
license, lying, and false science, a disgrace and slavery of the mind."
(Encyc., Dec. 21., 1887.)</div>

Many
years ago a celebrated architect built a magnificent palace. When he
had completed the costly edifice he gave it to some friends for their
dwelling. But, these soon behaved badly, and became a scandal to the
whole neighborhood. People often said: "Why was so splendid a palace
erected for such wicked wretches?" At last the king arrived and took
possession of the palace. He pardoned the servants and tried to make
them good again. Then the people said: "Now we understand why this
magnificent palace was built; it was for the king."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
architect in this parable is God the Father. He built a magnificent
palace - the world. He put into it his friends - Adam and Eve. They
soon behaved badly; and the angels asked, "Why was so splendid a palace

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
At
last the King, Jesus Christ, arrived. He pardoned the servants and
tried to make them good again, and the angels exclaimed : "Now we
understand why this great palace - the world - was made; it was for
Jesus Christ, the King of the world."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
God
decreed from all eternity to create the world as a dwelling-place for
men, where, by a holy life, they should gain an eternal reward. He
foresaw from all eternity that men would not live up to the end of
their creation. God would then have been frustrated in his design, had
he not decreed from all eternity the Incarnation for the redemption of
the human race. It was, therefore, principally for the sake of the
God-Man that the world was created. He was to come for the
justification and glorification of man.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence St. Thomas Aquinas says: <i>Ordo naturae creatus est et institutus propter ordinem gratiae.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
principal end of the creation of the universe is, first, Jesus Christ,
and, secondly, that the elect may receive here below the grace of God
through Christ. Although it is true that the world existed before the
Son of God became man, nevertheless, in the plan of creation and
redemption, Jesus Christ is prior to the world. On this account St.
Paul calls Jesus Christ the beginning, the <i>first-born from the dead</i>,
that, in all things, he may hold the primacy: because in him it hath
pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell, and through him to
reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of
the cross, both as to the things on earth, and the things that are in
heaven. (Coloss. i. 18-20.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
is, therefore, a certain intimate union between the creation of the
world and the nativity of Christ. God did not wish that Christ should
be born except in this world; and again, he did not wish that this
world should exist without Jesus Christ. Nay, it was chiefly for his
sake, as we have said, that God created the world and for his sake has
preserved it and shall continue to preserve it to the end of time.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
God
had decreed to institute through him the order of grace, that is, the
order of the justification and glorification of the elect.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
the artist produces his work according to his conception and knowledge,
so, also, God created man to his own image, which is his Son, his
eternal Wisdom, the prototype of all things. Now, when a work of art is
deteriorated by time or accident, it is restored by the skilful hand of
the artist to its original state; so, in like manner, the image of God
in man being disfigured in Adam, its source, the Son of God became man
to repair his image. "As the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
so Jesus also made himself partaker of the same: wherefore it behooves
him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might
become a merciful and faithful High Priest before God, and be a
propitiation for the sins of the people." (Heb. ii. 14, 17.) Thus we
receive our sonship or adoption of children of God from him who is the
Son of God by his nature. "And if sons, heirs also of God, and
joint-heirs with Christ." (Rom. viii. 17.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
it has always been, from the beginning, absolutely necessary for
salvation to know, by divine faith, God as the Creator of heaven and
earth and the eternal Rewarder of the good and the wicked, and the
Incarnation of the Son of God, and consequently the mystery of the Most
Holy Trinity; "For he that cometh to God," says St. Paul, "must believe
that he is, and is a rewarder of those who seek him." (Heb. xi. 6.)
Upon these words of the great Apostle, Cornelius a Lapide comments as
follows:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
knowledge of God acquired from the contemplation of the world teaches
only that God is the Author of the world and of all natural blessings,
and that only these natural goods can be obtained and asked of him. But
God wishes to be honored and loved by men, not only as the Author of
natural goods, but also as the Author of the supernatural and
everlasting goods in the world to come; and no one can in any other way
come to him and to his friendship, please him, and be acceptable to
him. Hence true, divine faith is necessary, because it is only by the
light of divine faith that we know God, not only as the Author of
nature, but also as the Author of grace and eternal glory; and
therefore the Apostle says that to know that there is a God, who
rewards the good and punishes the wicked, is to know him as such, not
only from natural knowledge, and belief, but also from supernatural
knowledge and divine faith.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"But
if St. Paul speaks here only of these two great truths, it does by no
means follow, that he wishes to teach that the supernatural knowledge
of these two truths only and divine faith in them are sufficient to
obtain justification, that is, to obtain the grace to become the
children of God; but <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">they are necessary in order to be greatly animated
with hope in undergoing hard labors and struggles for the sake of
virtue.</span> However, to obtain the grace of justification, we must also
believe other supernatural truths, especially the mystery of the
Incarnation of Christ and that of the Most Holy Trinity." (Comm. in Ep.
ad Heb., ix. 6.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Some
theologians," says St. Alphonsus, "hold that the belief of the two
other articles - the Incarnation of the Son of God, and the Trinity of
Persons - is strictly commanded but not necessary, as a means without
which salvation is impossible;<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> so that a person inculpably ignorant of
them may be saved. But according to the more common and truer opinion,
the explicit belief of these articles is necessary as a means without
which no adult can be saved." </span>(First Command. No. 8.) According to St.
Augustine (De Praedest. Sanctorum C. 15.) and other Theologians, the
predestination, election, and Incarnation of Christ alone were owing,
not to the foreseen merit of any one, not even to that of Christ
himself, but only to the good pleasure of God. However, the
predestination of all men in general, or the election of some in
preference to others, is all owing to the merit of Christ, on account
of which God has called all men to life everlasting and gives them
sufficient grace to obtain it, if they make a proper use of his grace,
especially that of prayer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"That
faith," says the same great Doctor of the Church , "is sound, by which
we believe that neither any adult nor infant could be delivered from
sin and the death of the soul, except by Jesus Christ, the only
Mediator between God and man." ( Ep. 190, olim 157, parum a principio.)
Hence St Thomas says: Almighty God decreed from all eternity the
mystery of the Incarnation, in order that men might obtain salvation
through Christ. It was therefore necessary at all times, that this
mystery of the Incarnation should, in some manner, be explicitly
believed. Undoubtedly, that means is necessarily a truth of faith, by
which man obtains salvation. Now men obtain salvation by the mystery of
the Incarnation and Passion of Christ; for it is said in the Holy
Scripture: "There is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we
must be saved." (Acts, iv. 10.) Hence it was necessary at all times
that the mystery of the Incarnation of Christ should be believed by all
men in some manner (aliqualiter, either implicitly or explicitly),
however, in a different way, according to the circumstances, of times
and persons.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Before the fall, man believed explicitly the Incarnation of Christ. <i>Ante
statum peccati homo habuit explicitam fidem de Christi incarnatione,
secundum quod ordinabatur ad consummationem gloriae, non autem secundum
quod ordinabatur ad liberationem a peccato per passionem et
resurrectionem, quia homo non fuit praescius peccati futuri.</i> But
that he had the knowledge of Christ's Incarnation seems to follow from
his words: "Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall
cleave to his wife." (Gen. 11. 24) And St. Paul calls this a <i>great sacrament in Christ and in the Church</i>; (Eph. v. 32.) and therefore it cannot be believed that the first man was ignorant of this sacrament.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
After
the fall of man, the mystery of the Incarnation of Christ was
explicitly believed, that is, not only, the Incarnation itself, but
also the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, by which mankind is
delivered from sin and death; for otherwise they could not have
prefigured Christ's Passion by certain sacrifices offered as well
before as also after the Written Law, the meaning of which sacrifices
was well known to <i>those whose</i> duty it was to teach the
religion of God; but as to the rest of the people, who believed that
those sacrifices were ordained by God to foreshadow Christ to come,
they had thus implicit faith in Christ.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">As
the mystery of the Incarnation was believed from the beginning, so,
also, was it necessary to believe the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity;
for the mystery of the Incarnation cannot be explicitly believed
without faith in the Most Holy Trinity, because the mystery of the
Incarnation teaches that the Son of God took to himself a human body
and soul by the power of the Holy Ghost. Hence, as the mystery of the
Incarnation was explicitly believed by the teachers of religion, and
implicitly by the rest of the people, so, also, was the mystery of the
Most Holy Trinity explicitly believed by the teachers of religion and
implicitly by the rest of the people. But in the New Law it must be
explicitly believed by all." (De Fide, </span>Q ii., art. vii. et viii.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
God
revealed these great truths of salvation to our first parents
immediately after the fall. He preserved the knowledge of them through
the holy patriarchs and prophets who, in clear language, foretold that
the Redeemer would come, and "be a priest upon his throne" (Zach. vi.
13.), "a priest according to the order of Melchisedech," (Ps. cix. 4.),
and that he himself would be the victim offered up for the sins of
mankind.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From
these great, fundamental truths of religion we easily understand why
St. Paul wrote to the Hebrews: "Jesus Christ yesterday, and to-day, and
the same forever" (Heb. xiii. 8.), "through whom it hath well pleased
the Father to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through
the blood of the cross, both as to the things on earth and the things
that are in heaven." (Coloss. i. 20.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The great apostle means to say: O Hebrews, Jesus Christ, the God-Man and High Priests, was <i>yesterday</i>,
that is, he was in the time before you from the beginning. Jesus was
the victim and priest before the Law, not in person, but in figure. He
was the victim in figure in the lamb and other animals which priests
and patriarchs offered in sacrifices. The faithful worshippers saw
Christ in those sacrifices either explicitly or implicitly; and they
believed in him. They believed that he would come and redeem the world.
By this spiritual knowledge they guided their lives: Thus their sins
were forgiven both as to their guilt and their punishment. The
sacrifice of Abel was acceptable to God, because in the lamb which he
sacrificed he saw not merely the lamb, but also a better victim - that
is, the Saviour, and he believed in him, and therefore God had regard
to Abel and his offering; and "God the Father," says St. Augustine, "
reconciles to himself, through Christ, the things on earth, and the
things in heaven, by offering pardon to all men, on account of Christ,
and by giving those who make themselves worthy of it the seats of glory
which the fallen angels have lost." (See Cornel. a Lap., Epist. ad
Ephes., c. i., from v. 1-10.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
also learn from Christ and his Church, that the explicit faith in the
mysteries of the Holy Trinity and of the Incarnation of the Son of God
is also required as a necessary means of salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"This
is life everlasting," says our Saviour, "that they may know thee, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent; " (John, xvii.
3.), for, says he, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life," that
lead man to the Father. Hence "no man cometh to the Father but by me."
John, xiv.6.)</div>
<div data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #262a2b; background-color: #ccccff; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
if a man act according to the dictates of his conscience, and follow
exactly the light of reason which God has implanted in him for his
guide, is that not sufficient to bring him to salvation?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"This
is, indeed," says Bishop Hay, "a specious proposition; but a fallacy
lurks under it. When man was created, his reason was then an
enlightened reason. Illuminated by the grace of original righteousness,
with which his soul was adorned, reason and conscience were safe guides
to conduct him in the way of salvation. But by sin this light was
miserably darkened, and his reason clouded by ignorance and error. It
was not, indeed, entirely extinguished; it still clearly teaches him
many great truths, but it is at present so influenced by pride,
passion, prejudice, and other such corrupt motives, that in many
instances it serves only to confirm him in error, by giving an
appearance of reason to the suggestions of self-love and passion. This
is too commonly the case, even in natural things; but in the
supernatural, in things relating to God and eternity, our reason, if
left to itself, is miserably blind. To remedy this, God has given us
the light of faith as a sure and safe guide to conduct us to salvation,
appointing his holy Church the guardian and depository of this heavenly
light; consequently, though a man may pretend to act according to
reason and conscience, and even flatter himself that he does so, yet
reason and conscience, if not enlightened and guided by true faith, can
never bring him to salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Nothing
can be more striking than the words of Holy Scripture on this subject.
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">'There is a way,' says the wise man, 'that seemeth right to a man, but
the ends thereof lead to death.</span>' (Prov. xiv. 10.) What can be more
plain than this, to show that a man may act according to what he thinks
the light of reason and conscience, persuaded he is doing right, and
yet, in fact, he is only running on in the way to perdition! And do not all those who are seduced by false prophets, and false teachers,
think they are in the right way? Is it not under the pretext of acting
according to conscience that they are seduced? and yet the mouth of
truth itself has declared, that <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">'if the blind lead the blind; both
shall fall into the pit.</span>' (Mat. xv. 14.) In order to show us to what
excess of wickedness man may go under the pretence of following his
conscience, the same Eternal Truth says to his apostles, ' the hour
cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth God a
service;' (John xvi. 2.) but observe what he adds, - 'And these things
will they do because they have not known the Father nor me.' (Ib. 3.)
Which shows that, if one has not the true knowledge of God and of Jesus
Christ, which can be obtained only through true faith in the Church,
there is no enormity of which he is not capable while thinking he is
acting according to reason and conscience. Had we only the light of
reason to direct us, we would be justified in following it; but as God
has given us an external guide in his holy Church, to assist and
correct our blinded reason by the light of faith; our reason alone,
unassisted by this guide, can never be sufficient for salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Nothing
will set this in a clearer light than a few examples. Conscience tells
a heathen that it is not only lawful, but a duty, to worship and offer
sacrifice to idols, the work of men's hands. Will his doing so,
according to his conscience, save him? or will these sets of idolatry
be innocent or agreeable in the sight of God, because they are
performed according to conscience? ' The idol that is made by hands is
cursed, as well as he that made it; . . . for that which is made,
together with him that made it, shall suffer torments.' (Wis. xiv. 8,
10.) Also, 'He that sacrificeth to gods shall be put to death, save
only to the Lord.' (Exod. xxii. 20.) In like manner, a Jew's conscience
tells him that he may lawfully and meritoriously blaspheme Jesus
Christ, and approve the conduct of his forefathers in putting him to
death upon a tree. Will such blasphemy save him, because it is
according to the dictates of his conscience? The Holy Ghost, by the
mouth of St. Paul, says, 'If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ,
let him be anathema,' that is, 'accursed.' (I. Cor. xvi. 22.) A
Mahometan is taught by his conscience that it would be a crime to
believe in Jesus Christ, and not believe in Mahomet; will this impious
conscience save him? The Scripture assures us that 'there is no other
name given to men under heaven by which we can be saved,' but the name
of Jesus only; and 'he that believeth not the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God remaineth on him.' All the various sects which
have been separated from the true Church, in every age, have uniformly
calumniated and slandered her, speaking evil of the truth professed by
her, believing in their conscience that this was not only lawful, but
highly meritorious. Will calumnies and slanders against the Church of
Jesus Christ save them because of their approving conscience? The Word
of God declares, 'That the nation and the kingdom that will not serve
her shall perish;' and 'there shall be lying teachers who shall bring
in damnable heresies, bringing upon themselves swift destruction, . . .
through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.' (II. Pet. ii.
1.) In all these, and similar cases, their conscience is their greatest
crime, and shows to what a height of impiety conscience and reason can
lead us, when under the influence of pride, passion, prejudice, and
self-love. Conscience and reason, therefore, can never be safe guides
to salvation, unless directed by the sacred light of revealed truth."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"An
effect," says St. Thomas, "is never greater than its cause, nor any act
more efficacious than the active power which produces it, wherefore the
enjoyment of eternal beatitude is not within the power of our natural
faculties. So, man, left to his own powers, can only produce acts
conformable to his nature and existence, such as to acquire art and
science, to labor in any employment, and to enjoy private and social
happiness, but he can never come to God and possess him without
supernatural assistance. It is useless to adjust the strings of a harp
or lyre; they remain silent until they are put in motion by the hand of
a musician. A vessel is rigged out with its masts, cables, and sails,
and ready for sailing, but wants a fair breeze to launch it into the
deep. In like manner, people, to be saved, want the powerful hand of
God to direct their course to another world, to assist and to enlighten
them in their pilgrimage. Hence it is evident that the<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> first step
towards God and salvation is supernatural knowledge of God and divine
faith in the four great truths of salvation as a necessary preparatory
means to obtain the grace of justification; that neither invincible
ignorance of the necessary truths of salvation, nor the mere knowledge
of these truths can be means to convey sanctifying grace to the soul:
To the knowledge of those truths must be joined supernatural divine
faith in them, confident hope in the Redeemer, and perfect charity,
which includes perfect sorrow for sin and the implicit desire to comply
with God's will in all that he requires of the soul, to be saved.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
These
dispositions of the soul are the effects of the grace of God, and not
of anything else whatsoever; and the infusion of sanctifying grace into
the soul that is thus prepared is the gratuitous gift granted by the
infinite mercy of God on account of the merits of the Redeemer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
St.
Thomas asks the question<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">: Did Jesus Christ, when he descended into
Limbo, deliver the souls of children who died in original sin?</span> To
understand this, we must remember a certain principle and doctrine,
namely: <i>There is no salvation possible for any one without being united to Jesus Christ crucified.</i> Hence
the great Apostle St. Paul says: "It is Jesus Christ whom God hath
proposed to be a propitiation through faith in his blood." (Rom. iii.
25.) Now, those children were not united to Christ by their own faith
because they had not the use of reason, which is the foundation of
faith; nor were they united to Christ by the faith of their parents,
because the faith of their parents was not sufficient for the salvation
of their children; nor were those children united to Christ by means of
a sacrament, because there was no sacrament under the Old Law which had
of itself the virtue of conferring either grace or justification.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Besides,
life eternal is granted only to those who are in the state of
sanctifying grace. "The grace of God is life everlasting in Jesus
Christ our Lord." (Rom, vi. 23.) All those, therefore, who died at any
age without perfect charity and faith in the Redeemer to come, as well
as those who die without the sacrament of spiritual generation after
the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ, are not purified from the mortal
stain of original sin, and are, consequently, excluded from the kingdom
of eternal glory. (De Incarn., Q. lii., art. vii.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
All
this is also certain from what the Council of Trent has defined (Sess.
6. can. 3.) namely, that, without supernatural knowledge and faith, it
is impossible to fulfil the Law of God, to be justified and become
acceptable to him. (See Cornel. a Lap., Comment. in Ep. ad Rom., c. ii.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence the foot-note, found on page 230 in <i>Catholic Belief</i> is
not correct, namely: "A believer in one God who, without any fault on
his part, does not know and believe that in God there are three divine
Persons, is, notwithstanding, <i>in a state of salvation</i>, according to the opinion of most Catholic theologians."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No
good theologian ever made such an assertion. All good theologians
attribute justification neither to inculpable ignorance of, nor even to
the knowledge of, the necessary truths of salvation; they attribute it
to the infinite mercy of God, who unites himself with the soul only
when it is prepared by the supernatural acts of divine faith, hope, and
charity.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Therefore, only a theologian like "Sir Oracle" might easily endorse the above assertion.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
three theological virtues," says St. Thomas, "incline and prepare man
for supernatural happiness. Reason receives supernatural lights by
faith; which gives us a foresight of eternal glory; the will tends by
hope towards it as possible and attainable; and charity unites us to
God, the eternal source of all joy and happiness."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is impossible" says O. A. Brownson, "to make Catholics and
non-Catholics understand this great truth and conceive a correct idea
of the spirit and essence of religion, unless it is clearly shown that
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">our religion is based on divine revelation, and placed in the
guardianship of a body of men divinely commissioned to teach the world,
authoritatively and infallibly, all its sacred and immutable
truths</span>,--truths which all men are consequently bound in conscience to
receive without hesitation. This is the fixed standard of Catholic
belief; it is the basis upon which all dogmas rest. If this
all-important truth be well understood by Catholics, the snares to
entrap them may be very cunningly laid yet they will not be easily
caught in the meshes."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Nor
can a discussion of doctrinal points be of any great use to one who is
not thoroughly convinced of the divine authority of the Church: This
being once accepted, everything else follows logically, as a matter of
course. Hence no one should be admitted to the one fold of Christ who
does not firmly hold and declare that the Roman Catholic Church, ruled
by the successors of St. Peter, is God's whole and sole appointed
teacher of the Gospel on earth. However familiar persons may be with
our doctrines, or however much they may believe our dogmas, without
holding this, the fundamental truth of Catholic faith, they should not
be allowed to join the Church. The moment it is well understood, and
firmly believed, there need be but little delay about the abjuration.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The Church herself teaches us this lesson in her <i>Profession of Faith for Converts</i> and in her <i>Ritual</i>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In the profession of faith which the Church requires converts to make before they are received into the Church, <i>the very first article of faith</i> reads as follows: "I, N. N., having before my eyes the holy Gospels which I touch with my hand, and <i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">knowing that no one can be saved without that faith</span> which the holy, Catholic, Apostolic, Roman Church holds</i>, believes, and teaches, against which I grieve that I have greatly erred," etc.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When
a child is taken to church for baptism, the first question addressed to
the child is: "What dost thou ask of the Church of God?" <i>and
the answer is: "Faith." What we must believe, etc., is learned from the
Catholic Church alone. Hence it is that a Catholic, well instructed,
when asked, "Why do you believe this?" answers: "Because the
Church, our Mother, believes and teaches this." "And from whom did your

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The Church, therefore, is not one religious body among many; it is <i>the only religious body</i>, inherent in the divine order of creation and representing its as we said above.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What
is here especially insisted upon is that, in treating of the Church,
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">the reasons why salvation outside of her is impossible should be
plainly stated</span>, especially in our age, in which secret societies are
doing all they can to undermine the divine teaching authority of the
Church. The lesson, therefore, on the Church must be plain, and solid,
and deeply impressed upon all who wish to be saved; <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">all must learn and
understand that </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">only</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> the Catholic Church is the Teacher from God, and the </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">reasons</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> why salvation out of her is impossible.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
doctrine is <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">clearly expressed in the following words of the Athanasian
Creed</span>: "He, therefore, who wishes to be saved, must thus think of the
Trinity," that is, he must believe the doctrine of the Holy Trinity as
explained in this Creed. "Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting
salvation that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Hence St. Peter says: "Be it known to you, that there is
no salvation in any other name than that of Jesus Christ; for there is
no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved."
(Acts, iv. 10, 10). "Thus," says St. Alphonsus, "there is no hope of
salvation except in the merits of Jesus Christ. Hence <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">St. Thomas and
all theologians conclude</span> that, since the promulgation of the Gospel, it
is necessary, not only as a matter of precept, but also as a means of
salvation (necessitate medii, without which no adult can be saved), to
believe explicitly that we can be saved only through our Redeemer."
(Reflections on the Passion of Jesus Christ, Chapt. I., No. 19). <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">The
explicit belief in the mysteries of the Holy Trinity and of the
Incarnation of the Son of God is therefore of the greatest importance.
This belief teaches the origin of the world, its creation by God the
Father; it teaches us the supernatural end of man, his fall, and the
redemption of mankind by God the Son; it teaches the sanctification of
souls by the gifts of the Holy Ghost.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
work which the Redeemer began in his Incarnation and completed in his
Passion was not yet firmly established and secured; his Kingdom was not
to come all at once, nor his dominion to be immediately established on
the ruins of the empire of evil. The number of the elect must be
gathered from all nations and generations of men. The merits of his
Passion must be applied to the souls he has redeemed through all
succeeding ages. This great mission is carried on through his Church,
which, at Pentecost, came forth in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Through her our Lord continues to act in the accomplishment of his
designs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
Church, therefore," as Dr. O. A. Brownson, says, "is inherent in the
divine order of creation and grace. God decreed her establishment and
indestructibility when he decreed the order of creation and grace.
Whatever is incompatible with her teaching, is incompatible with her
divine order, aye, with the Divine Being Himself. As without God there
is nothing, so without the Church, or outside of her, there is no
religion, no spiritual life. All the pretended religions outside of her
are shams, at best have no basis, stand on nothing and are nothing, and
can give no life or support to the soul, but leave it out of the divine
order to drop it into hell.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Catholics
need to know this, and to be armed with principles and arguments that
enable them to prove it against all gainsayers, or, at least, to enable
them to defend themselves, and to be always on their guard against
Protestant contamination and sophistry."</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From
the beginning of the world there have been two elements - the good and
the bad - combating each other. "There must be scandals," says our
Lord; St. Michael, and Lucifer combat each other in heaven; Cain and
Abel in the family of Adam; Isaac and Ismael in the family of Abraham;
Jacob and Esau in the family of Isaac; Joseph and his brethren in the
family of Jacob; Solomon and Absolom in the family of David; St. Peter
and Judas in the company of Our Lord Jesus Christ; the Apostles and the
Roman emperors in the Church of Christ; St. Francis of Assisi and
Brother Elias in the Franciscan Order; St. Bernard and his uncle Andrew
in the Cistercian Order; St. Alphonsus and Father Leggio in the
Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer; orthodox faith and heresy and
infidelity, in the Kingdom of God on earth; the just and the wicked, in
all places; in fact, where is the country, the city; the village, the
religious community, or the family, howsoever small it may be, in which
these two elements are not found in opposition. The parable of the
sower and the cockle is everywhere verified; even should you be quite
alone, grace and nature will combat each other. "And a man's enemies
shall be they of his own household." (Matth. x. 36.) Strange to say,
not only the good and the wicked are found in perpetual conflict; but
God, for wise ends, permits that even the holiest and best of men are
sometimes diametrically opposed to one another, and even incite
persecution, one against the other, though each one may be led by the
purest and holiest of motives.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
must be scandals, - a fatal, though divine warning! There must be
storms in nature to purify the air from dangerous elements. In like
manner, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">God permits storms - heresies to arise in his Church on earth,
in order that the erroneous and impious doctrines of heretics may, by
way of contrast, set forth in clearer light the true and holy doctrines
of the Church.</span> As light is in the midst of darkness, gold contrasted
with lead, the sun among the planets, the wise among the foolish, - so
is the Roman Catholic Church among non-Catholics. "If two things of
different natures," says the Wise Man, "be brought into opposition, the
eye perceives their difference at once." "Good is set against evil, and
life against death: so also is the sinner against the just man. And so
look upon all the works of the Most High. Two and two, and one against
another." (Eccl. xxxiii. 15.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Christ,
then, permits the storms of heresies to beat upon his Church, in order
to bring forth into clearer light his divine doctrine, and to remove
dangerous elements from his Mystic Body - the Roman Catholic Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
At
the beginning of the sixteenth century, with the exception of the Greek
schismatics, a few Lollards in England, some Waldenses in Piedmont,
scattered Albigenses or Manicheans, and a few followers of Huss and
Zisca among the Bohemians, all Europe was Roman Catholic. England,
Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany,
Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Holland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, -
every civilized nation was in the unity of the Catholic faith. Many of
these nations were at the height of their power and prosperity.
Portugal was pushing her discoveries beyond the Cape of Good Hope, and
forming Catholic settlements in the East Indies. Christopher Columbus,
a Roman Catholic, had discovered America, under the patronage of the
Catholic Isabella of Spain. England was in a state of great prosperity.
Her two Catholic Universities of Oxford and Cambridge contained, at one
time, more than fifty thousand students. The country was covered with
noble churches, abbeys, and monasteries, and with hospitals where the
poor were fed, clothed and instructed.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
However,
the progress of civilization tended to foster a spirit of pride, and
encourage the lust of novelties. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">The prosperity of the Church led to
luxury, and in many cases to a relaxation of discipline.</span> There were, as
there always have been, in every period of the Church, the days of the
apostles not excepted, bad men in the Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
wheat and tares grow together until the harvest. The net of the Church
encloses good and bad. The writings of Wickliffe, Huss, and their
followers, had unsettled the minds of many. Princes were restive under
the check held by the Church upon their rapacity and lusts. Henry
VIII., for example, wanted to divorce a wife to whom he had been
married twenty years, that he might marry a young and pretty one. He
could not do this, so long as he acknowledged the spiritual supremacy
of the Pope. Philip, Landgrave of Hesse, wanted two wives. No Pope
would give him a dispensation to marry and live with two women at once.
Then there were multitudes of wicked and avaricious nobles, who wanted
but an excuse to plunder the churches, abbeys, and monasteries, whose
property was held in trust for the education of the people and the care
of the poor, aged, and sick, all over Europe. Then there were priests
and monks eager to embrace a relaxed discipline, and many people who,
incited by the cry of liberty, were ready to rush into license, and
make war upon every principle of religion and social order, as soon as
circumstances would favor the outbreak of this rebel spirit in
individuals and masses. Now, when God, says St. Gregory, sees in the
Church many reveling in their vices, and, as St. Paul observes,
believing in God, confessing the truth of his mysteries, but belying
their faith by their works, he punishes them by permitting that after
having lost grace, they also lose the holy knowledge which they had of
his mysteries, and that, without any other persecution than that of
their vices, they deny the faith. It is of these David speaks, when be
says: "Destroy Jerusalem to its foundations;" (Ps. cxxxvi. 7.) leave
not a stone upon stone. When the wicked spirits have ruined in a soul
the edifice of virtue, they sap its foundation, which is faith. St.
Cyprian, therefore, said: "Let no one think that virtuous men and good
Christians ever leave the bosom of the Church; it is not the wheat that
the wind lifts, but the chaff; trees deeply rooted are not blown down
by the breeze, but those which have no roots. It is rotten fruits that
fall off the trees, not sound ones; bad Catholics become heretics, as
sickness is engendered by bad humors. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">At first, faith languishes in
them, because of their vices; then it becomes sick; next it dies,
because, since sin is essentially a blindness of spirit, the more a man
sins, the more he is blinded; his faith grows weaker and weaker; the
light of this divine torch decreases, and soon the least wind of
temptation or doubt suffices to extinguish it.</span>" Witness the great
defection from faith in the sixteenth century, when God permitted
heresies to arise, in order to exercise his justice against those who
were ready to abandon the truth, and his mercy toward those who
remained attached to it; to prove, by trials, those who were firm in
the faith, and to separate them from those who loved error; to exercise
the patience and charity of the Church, and to sanctify, the elect; to
give occasion for the illustration of religious truth and the holy
Scripture; to make pastors more vigilant, and value more the sacred
deposit of faith; in fine, to render the authority of tradition more
clear and incontestable. Heresy arose in all its strength; Martin
Luther was its ringleader and its spokesman.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Martin
Luther, an Augustinian friar, a bold man, and a vehement declaimer,
having imbibed erroneous sentiments from the heretical writings of John
Huss of Bohemia, took occasion, from the publication of indulgences
promulgated by Pope Leo X., to break with the Catholic Church, and to
propagate his new errors, in 1517, at Wittenberg, in Saxony. He first
inveighed against the abuse of indulgences; then he called in question
their efficacy; and at last totally rejected them. He declaimed against
the supremacy of the See of Rome, and condemned the whole Church,
pretending that Christ had abandoned it, and that it wanted reforming,
in faith as well as discipline. Thus this new evangelist commenced that
fatal defection from the ancient faith, which was styled "Reformation."
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">The new doctrines, being calculated to gratify the vicious inclinations
of the human heart</span>, spread with the rapidity of an inundation.
Frederick, Elector of Saxony, John Frederick, his successor, and
Philip, Landgrave of Hesse, became Luther's disciples. Gustavus Ericus,
King of Sweden, and Christian III., King of Denmark, also declared in
favor of Lutheranism. It secured a footing in Hungary. Poland, after
tasting a great variety of doctrines, left to every individual the
liberty of choosing for himself. Munzer, a disciple of Luther, set up
for doctor himself, and, with Nicholas Stark, gave birth to the sect of
Anabaptists, which was propagated in Suabia, and other provinces in
Germany, in the Low Countries. Calvin, a man of bold, obstinate spirit,
and indefatigable in his labors, in imitation of Luther, turned
reformer also. He contrived to have his new tenets received at Geneva,
in 1541. After his death, Beza preached the same doctrine. It
insinuated itself into some parts of Germany, Hungary, Bohemia, and
became the religion of Holland. It was imported by John Knox, an
apostate priest, into Scotland, where, under the name of
Presbyterianism, it took deep root, and spread over the kingdom. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">But
among the deluded nations, none drank more deeply of the cup of error
than England. For many centuries this country had been conspicuous in
the Christian world for the orthodoxy of its belief, as also for the
number of its saints.</span> But by a misfortune never to be sufficiently
lamented, and by an unfathomable judgment from above, its Church shared
a fate which seemed the least to threaten it. The lust and avarice of
one despotic sovereign threw down the fair edifice, and tore it off the
rock on which it had hitherto stood. Henry VIII., at first a valiant
asserter of the Catholic faith against Luther, giving way to the
violent passions which he had not sufficient courage to curb, renounced
the supreme jurisdiction which the Pope had always held in the Church,
presumed to arrogate to himself that power in his own dominions, and
thus gave a deadly blow to religion. He then forced his subjects into
the same fatal defection. Once introduced, it soon overspread the land.
Being, from its nature, limited by no fixed principle, it has since
taken a hundred different shapes, under different names, such as: the
Calvinists, Arminians, Antinomians, Independents, Kilhamites,
Glassites, Haldanites, Bereans, Swedenborgians, New-Jerusalemites,
Orthodox Quakers, Hicksites, Shakers, Panters, Seekers, Jumpers,
Reformed Methodists, German Methodists, Albright Methodists, Episcopal
Methodists, Wesleyan Methodists, Methodists North, Methodists South,
Protestant Methodists, Episcopalians, High Church Episcopalians, Low
Church Episcopalians, Ritualists, Puseyites, Dutch Reformed, Dutch
non-Reformed, Christian Israelites, Baptists, Particular Baptists,
Seventh-day Baptists, Hardshell Baptists, Soft-shell Baptists, Forty
Gallon Baptists, Sixty Gallon Baptists, African Baptists, Free-will
Baptists, Church of God Baptists, Regular Baptists, Anti-mission
Baptists, Six Principle Baptists, River Brethren, Winebremarians,
Mennonites, Second Adventists, Millerites, Christian Baptists,
Universalists, Orthodox Congregationalists, Campbellites,
Presbyterians, Old School Presbyterians and New School Presbyterians,
Cumberland Presbyterians, United Presbyterians, The Only True Church of
Christ, 573 Bowery, N. Y., up stairs, 5th story, Latter-day Saints,
Restorationists, Schwenfelders, Spiritualists, Mormons, Christian
Perfectionists, etc., etc., etc. All these sects are called Protestants
because they all unite in protesting against their mother, the Roman
Catholic Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Some
time after, when the reforming spirit had reached its full growth,
Dudithius, a learned Protestant divine, in his epistle to Beza, wrote:
"What sort of people are our Protestants, straggling to and fro, and
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">carried about by every wind of doctrine, </span>sometimes to this side,
sometimes to that? You may, perhaps, know what their sentiments in
matters of religion are to-day, but you can never tell precisely what
they will be to-morrow. In what article of religion do these churches
agree which have cast off the Bishop of Rome? Examine all from top to
bottom, and you will scarce find one thing affirmed by one which was
not immediately condemned by another for wicked doctrine." The same
confusion of opinions was described by an English Protestant, the
learned Dr. Walton, about the middle of the last century, in his
preface to his Polyglot, where he says: " Aristarchus heretofore could
scarce find seven wise men in Greece; but with us, scarce are to be
found so many idiots. For all are doctors, all are divinely learned:
there is not so much as the meanest fanatic who does not give you his
own dreams for the word of God. The bottomless pit seems to have been
opened, from whence a smoke has arisen which has darkened the heavens
and the stars, and locusts have come out with stings, a numerous race
of sectaries and heretics, who have renewed all the ancient heresies,
and invented many monstrous opinions of their own. These have filled
our cities, villages, camps, houses, nay, our pulpits, too, and lead
the poor deluded people, with them to the pit of perdition." "Yes,"
writes another author, "every ten years, or nearly so, the Protestant
theological literature undergoes a complete revolution. What was
admired during the one decennial period is rejected in the next, and
the image which they adored is burnt, to make way for new divinities;
the dogmas which were held in honor, fall into discredit; the classical
treatise of morality is banished among the old books out of date;
criticism overturns criticism; the commentary of yesterday ridicules
that of the previous day, and what was clearly proved in 1840, is not
less clearly disproved in 1850. The theological systems of
Protestantism are as numerous as the political constitutions of France
- one revolution only awaits another." - (Le Semeur, June, 1840.) It is
indeed utterly impossible to keep the various members of one single
sect from perpetual disputes, even about the essential truths of
revealed religion. And those religious differences exist not only in
the same sect, not only in the same country and town, but even in the
same family. Nay, the self-same individual, at different periods of his
life, is often in flagrant contradiction with himself. To-day he avows
opinions which yesterday he abhorred, and to-morrow he will exchange
these again for new ones. At last, after belonging, successively, to
various new-fangled sects, he generally ends by professing unmitigated
contempt for them all. By their continual disputes and bickerings, and
dividing and subdividing, the various Protestant sects have made
themselves the scorn of honest minds, the laughing–stock of the pagan
and the infidel.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
These
human sects, the "works of the flesh," as St. Paul calls them, alter
their shape, like clouds, but "feel no blow", says Mr. Marshall,
"because they have no substance." They fight a good deal with one
another, but nobody minds it, not even themselves, nor cares what
becomes of them. If one human sect perishes, it is always easy to make
another, or half a dozen. They have the life of worms, and propagate by
corruption. Their life is so like death that, except by the putridity
which they exhale in both stages, it is impossible to tell which is
which, and when they are buried, nobody can find their graves: They
have simply disappeared.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">The
spirit of Protestantism, or the spirit of revolt against God and his
Church, sprung up from the Reformers' spirit of incontinency,
obstinacy, and covetousness</span>. Luther, in despite of the vow he had
solemnly made to God of keeping continency, married a nun equally bound
as himself to that sacred religious promise; but, as St. Jerome says,
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">"it is rare to find a heretic that loves chastity."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Luther's
example had indeed been anticipated by Carlostadtius, a priest and
ringleader of the Sacramentarians, who had married a little before; and
it was soon followed, by most of the heads of the Reformation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Zwinglius, a priest and chief of the sect that bore his name, took a wife.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Bucer, a member of the order of St. Dominic, became a Lutheran, left his cloister, and married a nun.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
OEcolampadius, a Brigitin monk, became a Zwinglian, and also married.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, had also his wife.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Peter Martyr, a canon-regular, embraced the doctrine of Calvin, but followed the example of Luther, and married a nun.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Ochin, General of the Capuchins, became a Lutheran, and also married.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Thus
the principal leaders in the Reformation went forth, preaching the new
gospel, with two marks upon them: apostasy from faith, and open
violation of the most sacred vows.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
passion of lust, as has been already said, hurried also Henry VIII. of
England into a separation from the Catholic Church, and ranked him
among the Reformers.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Those
wicked men could not be expected to teach a holy doctrine; they
preached up a hitherto unheard-of "evangelical liberty," as they styled
it. They told their fellow-men that they were no longer obliged to
subject their understanding to the mysteries of faith, and to regulate
their actions according to the laws of Christian morality; they told
that everyone was free to model his belief and practice as it suited
his inclinations. In pursuance of this accommodating doctrine, they
dissected the Catholic faith till they reduced it to a mere skeleton;
they lopped off the reality of the body and blood of Christ in the Holy
Eucharist, the divine Christian sacrifice offered in the Mass,
confession of sins, most of the sacraments, penitential exercises,
several of the canonical books of Scripture, the invocation of saints,
celibacy, most of the General Councils of the Church, and all present
Church authority; they perverted the nature of justification, asserting
that faith alone suffices to justify man; they made God the author of
sin, and maintained the observance of the commandments to be impossible.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
a few specimens of Luther's doctrine, take the following: "God's
commandments are all equally impossible." (De Lib. Christ., t. ii.,
fol. 4.) "No sins can damn a man, but only unbelief." (De Captiv. Bab.,
t. ii., fol. 171.) "God is just, though by his own will he lays us
under the necessity of being damned, and though he damns those who have
not deserved it." (Tom. ii., fell. 434, 436.) "God works in us both
good, and evil." (Tom, ii.., fol. 444.) "Christ's body is in every
place, no less than the divinity itself." (Tom. iv., fol. 37.) Then,
for his darling principle of justification by faith, in his eleventh
article against Pope Leo, he says: "Believe strongly that you are
absolved, and absolved you will be, whether you have contrition or no."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Again,
in his sixth article: "The contrition which is acquired by examining,
recollecting, and detesting one's sins, whereby a man calls to mind his
life past, in the bitterness of his soul, reflecting on the heinousness
and multitude of his offences, the loss of eternal bliss, and
condemnation to eternal woe, - this contrition, I say, makes a man a
hypocrite, nay, even a greater sinner than he was before."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Thus,
after the most immoral life, a man has a compendious method of saving
himself, by simply believing that his sins are remitted through the
merits of Christ.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
Luther foresaw the scandal that would arise from his own and such like
sacrilegious marriages, he prepared the world for it, by writing
against the celibacy of the clergy and all religious vows; and all the
way up, since his time, he has had imitators. He proclaimed that all
such vows "were contrary to faith, to the commandments of God, and to
evangelical liberty." (De Votis Monast.) He said again: "God
disapproves of such a vow of living in continency, equally as if I
should vow to become the mother of God, or to create a new world."
(Epist. ad Wolfgang Reisemb.) And again: "To attempt to live unmarried,
is plainly to fight against God."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
when men give a loose rein to the depravity of nature, what wonder if
the most scandalous practices ensue? Accordingly, a striking instance
of this kind appeared in the license granted, in 1539, to Philip,
Landgrave of Hesse, to have two wives at once, which license was,
signed by Luther, Melanchthon, Bucer, and five other Protestant
preachers.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
On
the other hand, a wide door was laid open to another species of
scandal: the doctrine of the Reformation admitted divorces in the
marriage state in certain cases, contrary to the doctrine of the
Gospel, and even allowed the parties thus separated to marry other
wives and other husbands.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
enumerate the errors of all the Reformers would exceed the limits of
this treatise. I shall therefore only add the principal heads of the
doctrine of Calvin and the Calvinists: 1. that baptism is not necessary
for salvation; 2. good works are not necessary; 3. man has no
free-will; 4. Adam could not avoid his fall; 5. a great part of mankind
are created to be damned, independently of their demerits; 6. man is
justified by faith alone, and that justification, once obtained, cannot
be lost, even by the most atrocious crimes; 7. the true faithful are
also infallibly certain of their salvation; 8. the Eucharist is no more
than a figure of the body and blood of Christ. Thus was the whole
system of faith and morality overturned. Tradition they totally
abolished; and though they could not reject the whole of the scripture,
as being universally acknowledged to be the word of God, they had,
however, the presumption to expunge some books of it that did not
coincide with their own opinions, and the rest they assumed a right to
explain as they saw fit.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
pious souls, they promised a return to the fervor of primitive
Christianity; to the proud, the liberty of private judgment; to the
enemies of the clergy, they promised the division of their spoils; to
priests and monks who were tired of the yoke of continence, the
abolition of a law which, they said, was contrary to nature; to
libertines of all classes, the suppression of fasting, abstinence, and
confession. They said to kings who wished to place themselves at the
head of the Church as well as of the States that they would be freed
from the spiritual authority of the Church; to nobles, that they would
see a rival order humbled and impoverished; to the middle classes and
the vassals of the Church, that they would be emancipated from all dues
and forced services.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Several
princes of Germany and of the Swiss cantons supported by arms the
preachers of the new doctrines. Henry VIII. imposed his doctrine on his
subjects: The King of Sweden drew his people into apostasy. The Court
of Navarre welcomed the Calvinists; the Court of France secretly
favored them.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
At
length Pope Paul III. convoked a General Council at Trent, in 1545, to
which the heresiarchs had appealed. Not only all the Catholic bishops,
but also all Christian princes, even Protestants, were invited to come.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
now the spirit of pride and obstinacy became most apparent. Henry VIII.
replied to the Pope that he would never entrust the work of reforming
religion in his kingdom to any one except to himself. The apostate
princes of Germany told the papal legate that they recognized only the
emperor as their sovereign; the Viceroy of Naples allowed but four
bishops to go to the council; the king of France sent only three
prelates, whom he soon after recalled. Charles V, created difficulties,
and put obstacles in the way. Gustavus Vasa allowed no one to go to the
council. The heresiarchs also refused to appear. The council, however,
was held in spite of these difficulties. It lasted over eighteen years,
because it was often interrupted by the plague, by war, and by the
deaths of those who had to preside over it. The doctrines of the
innovators were examined and condemned by the council, at the last
session of which there were more than three hundred bishops present;
among whom were nine cardinals, three patriarchs, thirty-three
archbishops, not to mention sixteen abbots or generals of religious
orders, and one hundred and forty-eight theologians. All the decrees
published from the commencement were read over and were again approved
and subscribed by the Fathers. Accordingly, Pius IV., in a consistory
held on the 26th of January, in 1564, approved and confirmed the
council in a book which was signed by all the cardinals. He drew up,
the same year, a profession of faith conformable in all respects with
the definitions of the council, in which it is declared that its
authority is accepted; and since that time, not only all bishops of the
Catholic Church, but all priests who are called to teach the way of
salvation, even to children, nay, all non-Catholics, on abjuring their
errors, and returning to the bosom of the Church, have sworn that they
had no other faith than that of the holy Council.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
new heresiarchs, however, continued to obscure and disfigure the face
of religion. As to Luther's sentiments in regard to the Pope, bishops,
councils, etc., he says, in the preface to his book, <i>De Abroganda Missa Privata</i>:
"With how many powerful remedies and most evident Scriptures have I
scarce been able to fortify my conscience so as to dare alone to
contradict the Pope, and to believe him to be Antichrist, the bishops
his apostles, and the universities his brothel-houses;" and in his
book, <i>De Judicio Ecclesiae de Grave Doctrina</i>, he says:
"Christ takes from the bishops, doctors, and councils both the right
and power of judging controversies, and gives them to all Christians in
general."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
His
censure on the Council of Constance, and those that composed it, is as
follows: "All John Huss' articles were condemned at Constance by
Antichrist and his apostles," (meaning the Pope and bishops), "in that
synod of Satan, made up of most wicked sophisters; and you, most holy
Vicar of Christ, I tell you plainly to your face, that all John Huss'
condemned doctrines are evangelical and Christian, but all yours are
impious and diabolical. I now declare," says he, speaking to the
bishops, "that for the future I will not vouchsafe you so much honor as
to submit myself or doctrine to your judgment, or to that of an angel
from heaven." (Preface to his book <i>Adversus falso nominatum ordinem Episcoporum</i>.)
Such was his spirit of pride that he made open profession of contempt
for the authority of the Church, councils, and Fathers, saying "All
those who will venture their lives, their estates, their honor, and
their blood, in so Christian a work as to root out all bishoprics and
bishops, who are the ministers of Satan, and to pluck by the roots all
their authority and jurisdiction in the world,--these persons are the
true children of God and obey his commandments." (<i>Contra Statum Ecclesia et falso nominatum ordinem Episcoporum</i>.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #181a1b; background-color: white;">This
spirit of pride and obstinacy is also most apparent from the fact that
Protestantism has never been ashamed to make use of any arguments,
though <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">ever so frivolous, inconsistent, or absurd, to defend its
errors,</span> and to slander and misrepresent the Catholic religion in every
way possible. </span>It shows itself again in the wars which Protestantism
waged to introduce and maintain itself. The apostate Princes of Germany
entered into a league, offensive and defensive, against the Emperor
Charles V., and rose up in arms to establish Protestantism.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Luther
had preached licentiousness, and reviled the emperor, the princes, and
the bishops. The peasants lost no time in freeing themselves from their
masters. They overran the country in lawless bands, burned down castle
and monasteries, and committed the most barbarous cruelties among the
nobility and clergy. Germany became at last the scene of desolation and
most cruel atrocities during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). More
than one hundred thousand men fell in battle; seven cities were
dismantled; one thousand religious houses were razed to the ground;
three hundred churches and immense treasures of statuary, paintings,
books, etc., were destroyed.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
what is more apparent and better known than the spirit of covetousness
of Protestantism? Wherever Protestantism secured a footing, it <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">pillaged
churches, seized Church property, destroyed monasteries, and
appropriated to itself their revenues.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
France, the Calvinists destroyed twenty thousand Catholic churches;
they murdered in Dauphine alone two hundred and twenty-five priests,
one hundred and twelve monks, and burned nine hundred towns and
villages. In England, Henry VIII. confiscated to the crown, or
distributed among his favorites, the property of six hundred and
forty-five monasteries and ninety colleges, one hundred and ten
hospitals, and two thousand three-hundred and seventy-four free-chapels
and chantries.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
They
even dared to profane, with sacrilegious hands, the remains of the
martyrs and confessors of God. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">In many places they forcibly took up the
saints bodies from the repositories where they were kept, burned them,
and scattered their ashes abroad.</span> What more atrocious indignity can be
conceived? Are parricides or the most flagitious of men ever worse
treated? Among other instances, in 1663, the Calvinists broke open the
shrine of St. Francis of Paula, at Plessis-Lestours; and <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">finding his
body uncorrupted fifty-five years after his death, they dragged it
about the streets, and burned it in a fire which they had made with the </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">wood of a large crucifix</i>, as Billet and other historians relate.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Thus
at Lyons, in the same year, the Calvinists seized upon the shrine of
St. Bonaventure, stripped it of its riches, burned the Saint's relics
in the market-place, and threw his ashes into the river Saone, as is
related by the learned Poesevinus, who was in Lyons at the time.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
bodies also of St. Irenaeus, St. Hilary, and St. Martin, as Surius
asserts, were treated in the same ignominious manner. Such, also, was
the treatment offered to the remains of St. Thomas, Archbishop of
Canterbury, whose rich shrine, according to the words of Stowe, in his
annals, "was taken to the king's use, and the bones of St. Thomas, by
the command of Lord Cromwell, were burnt to ashes in September, 1538.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Catholic religion has covered the world with its superb monuments.
Protestantism has now lasted three hundred years; it was powerful in
England, in Germany, in America. What has it raised? It will show us
the ruins which it has made amidst which it has planted some gardens,
or established some factories. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">The Catholic religion is essentially a
creative power, built up, not to destroy, because it is under the
immediate influence of that Holy Spirit which the Church invokes as the
Creative Spirit, "Creator Spiritus."</span> The Protestant, or modern
philosophical spirit, is a principle of destruction, of perpetual
decomposition and disunion. Under the dominion of English Protestant
power, for four hundred years, Ireland was rapidly becoming as naked
and void of ancient memorials as the wilds of Africa.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Reformers themselves were so ashamed of the progress of immorality
among their proselytes, that they could not help complaining against
it. Thus spoke Luther: "Men are now more revengeful, covetous, and
licentious, than they were ever in the Papacy." (Postil. Super Evang.
Dom.i., Advent.) Then again: " Heretofore, when we were seduced by the
Pope, every man willingly performed good works, but now no man says or
knows anything else than how to get all to himself by exactions,
pillage, theft, lying, usury." (Postil. super Evang. Dom. xxvi., p.
Trinit.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Calvin
wrote in the same strain: "Of so many thousands," said he, "who,
renouncing Popery, seemed eagerly to embrace the Gospel, how few have
amended their lives! Nay, what else did the greater part pretend to,
than, by shaking off the yoke of superstition, to give themselves more
liberty to follow all kinds of licentiousness?" (<i>Liber de scandalis</i>.)
Dr. Heylin, in his History of the Reformation, complains also of "the
great increase of viciousness" in England, in the reforming reign of
Edward VI.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Erasmus
says: "Take a view of this evangelical people, the Protestants. Perhaps
'tis my misfortune, but I never yet met with one who does not appear
changed for the worse." (<i>Epist. ad Vultur. Neoc.</i>) And
again: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">"Some persons," says he, "whom I knew formerly innocent,
harmless, and without deceit, no sooner have I seen them joined to that
sect (the Protestants), than they began to talk of wenches, to play at
dice, to leave off prayers, being grown extremely worldly, most
impatient, revengeful, vain, like vipers, tearing one another. I speak
by experience."</span> ( <i>Ep. ad Fratres Infer. Germania</i>.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
M.
Scherer, the principal of a Protestant school in France, wrote, in
1844, that he beholds in his Reformed Church "the ruin of all truth,
the weakness of infinite division, the scattering of flocks,
ecclesiastical anarchy, Socinianism ashamed of itself, Rationalism
coated like a pill, without doctrine, without consistency. This Church,
deprived alike of its corporate and its dogmatic character, of its form
and of its doctrine, deprived of all that constituted it a Christian
Church, has in truth ceased to exist in the ranks of religious
communities. Its name continues, but it represents only a corpse, a
phantom, or, if you will, a memory or a hope. For want of dogmatic
authority, unbelief has made its way into three-fourths of our pupils."
( <i>L' Etat Actual de l' Eglise Reformee en France, 1844.</i>)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Such
has been Protestantism from the beginning. It is written in blood and
fire upon the pages of history. Whether it takes the form of
Lutheranism in Germany, Denmark, and Sweden; Anglicanism in Great
Britain, or Calvinism and Presbyterianism in Switzerland, France,
Holland, Scotland, and America, it has been everywhere the same. It has
risen by tumult and violence;<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> propagated itself by force and
persecution; enriched itself by plunder, and has never ceased, by open
force, persecuting laws, or slander, its attempt to exterminate the
Catholic faith, and destroy the Church of Christ, which the fathers of
Protestantism left from the spirit of lust, pride, and covetousness, </span>-
a spirit which induced so many of their countrymen to follow their
wicked example; a spirit on account of which they would have been lost
at all events, even if they had not left their mother, the One, Holy,
Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
main spirit of Protestantism, then, has always been to declare every
man independent of the divine authority of the Roman Catholic Church
and to substitute for this divine authority a human authority. Pope
Pius IX spoke of Protestantism, in all its forms, as a "revolt against
God, it being an attempt to substitute a human for a divine authority,
and a declaration of the creature's independence of the Creator." "A
true Protestant, therefore," says Mr. Marshall, "does not acknowledge
that God has a right to teach him; or, if he acknowledges this right,
he does not feel himself bound to believe all that God teaches him
through those whom God has appointed to teach mankind. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">He says to God:
If thou teachest me, I reserve to myself the right to examine thy
words, to explain them as I choose, and admit only what appears to me
true, consistent, and useful."</span> Hence St. Augustine says: "You, who
believe what you please, and reject what you please, believe yourselves
or your own fancy rather than the Gospel." The faith of the Protestant,
then, is based upon his private judgment alone; it is human. "As his
judgment is alterable," says Mr. Marshall, "he naturally holds that his
faith and doctrine is alterable at will, and is therefore continually
changing it. Evidently, then, he does not hold it to be the truth; for
truth never changes; nor does he hold it to be the law of God, which he
is bound to obey; for if the law of God be alterable at will, it can
only be altered by God himself, never by man, any body of men, or any
creature of God."</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
story is told of a Western-bound train, flying along with lightning
speed; the time was shortly after sunset. Suddenly a crash was heard:
the train stopped. "What is the matter?" the passengers asked one
another. A huge owl, dazzled by the glare, had struck against the
reflector in front of the engine, shivered the glass, and tried to
extinguish the light, and a great bull had set its head against the
engine, to stop the train. The lamp was rekindled, the engine sped on,
but the stupid owl and the obstinate bull were cast aside, dead, and
left to rot and be devoured by wild beasts. An Irishman, on seeing
them, exclaimed: "I admire your courage, but condemn your judgment."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
train may be likened to the holy Catholic Church, speeding on, on her
heaven-sent mission, to lead men to heaven by the light of her holy
doctrine. The foolish owl, the enemy of light and the friend of
darkness, represents Lucifer, who, as the foe of God and of the light
of God's holy religion, has always been endeavoring to extinguish the
light of the true religion. The bull represents the kings and emperors,
the heretics and members of secret societies, whom Lucifer uses to
stop, if possible, the progress of the Catholic Church, the bearer of
the light of faith. Although it is hard, in a certain sense, not to
admire the courage of Lucifer's agents, yet we cannot but condemn their
judgment, their folly, and wickedness, in opposing the work of God, and
bringing down upon themselves the everlasting curse of the Almighty.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Our
Divine Saviour, Jesus Christ, came to break the power of the devil over
mankind; he came to banish idolatry, the worship of the devil, from
among men, and lead them back to the worship and service of his
heavenly Father by his holy example and divine doctrine. But no sooner
had he begun to teach men his saving doctrine, than Satan opposed him.
Satan is called, in Holy Scripture, the father of lies. From the
beginning of the world he has tried to misrepresent every religious
truth. He practised this black art in paradise; and so unhappily
successful was he in it, that ever since he has practised it, in order
to propagate error and vice among men. When our Saviour began to preach
his holy religion, Satan practised his black art, even in the presence
of Christ himself. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">By malicious men, the ministers of Satan, Christ was
contradicted and misrepresented in his doctrine; for, instead of being
believed, he was held up to the people as a blasphemer, for teaching
that he was the Son of God, as the impious Caiphas declared him to be,
saying, "He hath blasphemed, he is guilty of death." (Matt. xxvi. 65.)
He was misrepresented in his reputation; for he was noble, of royal
lineage, and yet was despised: "Is not this the carpenter's son?"
(Matt. xiii. 55.) He is wisdom itself, and was represented as an
ignorant man: "How doth this man know letters, having never learned?"
(John vii. 17.) He was represented as a false prophet: "And they
blindfolded him, and smote his face . . . saying: Prophesy who is this
that struck thee ?" (Luke, xxii. 64.) He was represented as a madman:
"He is mad, why hear you him?" (John, x. 20.) He was represented as a
winebibber, a glutton, and a friend of sinners: "Behold a man that is a
glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners."
(Luke, vii. 34.) He was represented as a sorcerer: "By the prince of
the devils he casteth out devils." (Matt. ix. 34.) He was represented
as a heretic and possessed person: "Do we not say well of thee, that
thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?" (John, viii. 48.) In a word,
Jesus was represented to the people as so bad and notorious a man, that
no trial was deemed necessary to condemn him, as the Jews said to
Pilate: "If be were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him
up to thee." (John, xviii. 30.) If ever infamous calumny was carried to
excess, it was undoubtedly in the case of our Saviour, "who knew not
sin," who had never uttered a deceitful Word, who "did all things
well," and who "passed his life in doing good, and healing all kinds of
infirmities." Christ's holy doctrine and his holy Church, the teacher
of his divine doctrines, are still misrepresented by Lucifer's agents,
now that he is on his throne, gloriously reigning in heaven.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Our
divine Saviour and his holy Apostles spoke of these agents and warned
the Christians to be on their guard against them. That the Protestant
Bishop Coxe is one of them is a well-known fact. In several passages of
Holy Scripture he is spoken of. We give some of them for his benefit: -</div>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 2em;">1.Our
blessed Saviour, foretelling the coming of false teachers, says,
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravenous wolves; by their fruits ye shall know them;"
and then he tells us, going on with the similitude of a tree, what
shall be the portion of such false prophets. " Every tree that bringeth
not forth good fruit shall be cut down and cast into the fire." (Matt.
vii. 15, 19.) Such is the fate of false teachers, according to Jesus
Christ. St. Paul describes them in the same light, and exhorts the
pastors of the Church to watch against them, that they may prevent the
seduction of the flock. "I know that after my departure ravening wolves
shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock: and of your own selves
shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after
them; therefore watch." (Acts, xx. 29.) Such is the idea the word of
God gives of all who depart from the doctrine of the Church of Christ
and teach falsehood; they are ravenous wolves, seducers of the people,
who speak perverse things, and whose end is hellfire.</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 2em;">2.
St. Paul, concluding his Epistle to the Romans, warns them against such
teachers in these words: "Now, I beseech you, brethren, to mark them
who cause dissensions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye
have learned, and to avoid them: for they that are such serve not
Christ our Lord, but their own belly, and by pleasing speeches and good
words seduce the hearts of the innocent." (Rom. xvi. 17.) Can such as
these, who cause dissensions contrary to the ancient doctrine, and
seduce the souls redeemed by the blood of Jesus, who are not servants
of Christ, but his enemies, and are slaves to their own belly - can
these, I say, be in the way of salvation? Alas! the same holy Apostle
describes their fate in another text, "That they are enemies of the
cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly,
and whose glory is in their shame." (Philip. iii. 18.)</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 2em;">3. In St. Paul's absence some false teachers had come in, among the Galatians, and persuaded them that it was<i> necessary</i> for
salvation to join circumcision with the gospel; on this account the
apostle writes his epistle to correct this error; and <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">though it was but
an error on one point, and apparently not of great importance, yet,
because it was false doctrine, the holy Apostle condemns it: </span>"I wonder
how you are so soon removed from him that called you to the grace of
Christ, unto another gospel: which is not another; only there are some
that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though
we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which
we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we said before, I say
now again, if any one preach to you a gospel besides that which ye have
received, let him be accursed." (Gal. i. 6.)<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;"> This shows, indeed, the
crime and fate of false teachers, though their doctrine was false only
on a single point.</span></dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 2em;">4.
St. Peter describes these unhappy men in the most dreadful colors.
"There shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring sects of
perdition " (or, as the Protestant translation has it, <i>damnable heresies</i>)
"and deny the Lord who bought them, bringing on themselves swift
destruction." (II. Pet. ii. 1.) and going on to describe them, he says:
"Their judgment of a long time lingereth not, and their destruction
slumbereth not." (ver. 3.) "The Lord knoweth how: ..to reserve the
unjust unto the day of judgment to be tormented; and especially them
who . . . despise governments, audacious, pleasing themselves, they
fear not to bring in sects blaspheming," (ver. 9.) "leaving the right
way, they have gone astray." (ver. 15. "These are wells without water,
and clouds tossed with whirlwinds, to whom the mist of darkness is
reserved." (ver. 17.) Good God! what a dreadful state to be in!</dd></dl>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 2em;">5. St. Paul, speaking of such as are led away by what St. Peter calls <i>damnable heresies</i>,
says: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">"A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition,
avoid; knowing that he that is such an one is subverted and sinneth,
being condemned by his own judgment."</span> (Tit. iii. 10.) Other offenders
are judged and cast out of the Church by the sentence of the pastors;
but heretics, more unhappy, leave the Church of their own accord, and
by so doing give judgment and sentence against their own souls.

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Whilst writing this, we remember something remarkable that happened in France, in 1556. It may be well for Mr. Coxe to know it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
It
is a well-known fact that the Catholic Church has received power from
Jesus Christ to cast out devils and restrain them from injuring any of
God's creatures. The Church often makes use of this power. She has
instituted certain rites and prayers to be used by bishops and priests
in casting out devils from possessed persons. In our little work, <i><a data-darkreader-inline-color="" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.archive.org/details/triumphofsacram00meuluoft&source=gmail&ust=1595989852685000&usg=AFQjCNE8vFj0A22PeBtM9O3G70a6d3BOPg" href="http://www.archive.org/details/triumphofsacram00meuluoft" rel="nofollow" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #679fd5; color: #3366bb; padding-right: 13px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="http://www.archive.org/details/triumphofsacram00meuluoft">Triumph of the Blessed Sacrament</a></i>,
we have related how Almighty God permitted evil spirits to possess a
certain person, called Nicola Aubry, of the town of Vervins, in France.
The possession took place 1565, and lasted for several months. The
Bishop of Laon, by Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, expelled the evil
spirits forever, on February 8th, 1566.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When
the strange circumstances of Nicola's possession became known
everywhere, several Calvinist preachers came with their followers to
"expose this popish cheat," as they said. On their entrance, the devil
saluted them mockingly, called them by name, and told them that they
had come <i>in obedience to him</i>. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">One of the preachers
took his Protestant prayer-book, and began to read it with a very
solemn face. The devil laughed at him, and, putting on a most comical
face, he said: "Ho! ho! my good friend, do you intend to expel </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">me</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> with
your prayers and hymns? Do you think that they will cause me pain?
Don't you know that they are mine? I help to compose them?"</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I will expel thee in the name of God," said the preacher solemnly.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"You!" said the devil mockingly. "<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">You will </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">not</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;"> expel me, either in the name of </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">God</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">, or in the name of the </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">devil</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">. Did you ever hear, then, of one devil driving out another?"</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I am not a devil," said the preacher angrily, "I am a servant of Christ."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"A servant of Christ, indeed!" said Satan with a sneer. "What! I tell you, you are worse than I am. I believe, and <i>you</i> do
not want to believe. Do you suppose that you can expel me from the body
of this miserable wretch! Ha! <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">go first and expel all the devils that
are in your own heart!"</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
preacher took his leave, somewhat discomfited. On going away, he said,
turning up the whites of his eyes: "Oh Lord, I pray thee, assist this
poor creature !"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"And
I pray Lucifer," cried the spirit, "that he may never leave you, but
may always keep you firmly in his power, as he does now. Go about your
business now. You are <i>all mine</i>; and I am your master." So they went away. They had seen and heard more than they wanted.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Bishop
Coxe is well known as a famous exorcist. He does all in his power to
prevent the devil (that is what he takes the Roman Catholic faith for)
from taking possession of Protestants. He knows that, if this
possession should really take place, he would have no power to expel
the devil of idolatry. An ounce of preventive is, in his opinion,
better than a pound of cure. In this, he imitates his ancestors.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
St.
Augustine tells us that the Manichees and the Donatists did all in
their power to raise prejudices in the minds of the people against the
Roman Catholic Church. They told men that the teaching of the Church
was unsound and profane doctrine, that it was full of wicked principles
and human inventions, instead of divine faith; and all these calumnies
were spread abroad among the people, in order that they might not think
of going to the Church to learn the truth, or even suspect her to be
the Church. of Christ. "The chief reason," says St. Augustine, "why I
continued to live so long in the errors of the Manichees, and impugned
the Catholic Church with so much violence, was, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">because I thought that
all I heard against the Church was true. But when I found out that it
was all false, I made known this falsehood to the world, in order to
undeceive others who were caught in the same snare</span>. I mingled joys and
blushes, and was ashamed that I had now for so many years been barking
and railing, not against the Catholic Faith, but only against the
fictions of my carnal conceits. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">For so rash and impious was I, that
those things which I might first have learned from Catholics by
inquiry, I charged upon them by accusation. I was readier to impose
falsehood than to be informed of the truth.</span>" This he did, deluded and
deceived by the Manichees. Alas! this has not been the case of St.
Augustine alone, but of almost as many as have given ear to the
deserters of this Church; nay, it is at this very day the case of
infinite numbers of Protestants and infidels, who, following St.
Augustine in his errors, do not inquire how this thing is believed or
understood by the Church, but insultingly oppose all, as if understood
as they imagine. They make no difference between <i>that which the Catholic Church </i>teaches, and <i>what they think</i> she teaches. Thus they believe her guilty of as many absurdities, follies, and impieties, as the heathens did of old.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
is a Protestant. He considers the antiquity of the Roman Catholic
Church; her unity in faith; the purity and holiness of her doctrine;
her establishment by poor fishermen all over the world, in spite of all
kinds of opposition; her invariable duration from the time of the
apostles; the miracles which are wrought in her; the holiness of all
those who live according to her laws; the deep science of her doctors;
the almost infinite number of her martyrs; the peace of mind and
happiness of soul experienced by those who have entered her bosom; the
fact that all Protestants admit that a faithful Catholic will be saved
in his religion;<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> the frightful punishment inflicted by God upon all the
persecutors of the Catholic Church; the melancholy death of the authors
of heresies; the constant fulfillment of the words of our Lord, that
his Church would always be persecuted.</span> He seriously considers all this;
he is enlightened by God's grace to see that the Roman Catholic Church
alone is the true Church of Jesus Christ; he is convinced that her
authority is from God, and that to hear and obey her authority is to
hear and obey God himself: and so he accepts and believes all that she
teaches; because it comes to him on the authority of God, and therefore <i>must</i> be
true; not because he himself sees how or why it is true. This is true
divine faith - this is the right way to become a Catholic. Such faith
is absolutely necessary. It is necessary by necessity of precept. Our
blessed Lord says: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved.
He that believeth not shall be condemned."</span> This precept is affirmative,
in as far as it obliges us to believe all that God has revealed; it is
negative, in as far as it forbids us to hold any opinions contrary to
the revealed truth.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Such
faith is necessary by necessity of medium, for, "without faith, it is
impossible to please God." (Heb. xi. 6.) "If you believe not, you shall
die in your sins." (John, v. 38; viii. 27.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
this Protestant is about to join the Catholic Church. Coxe hears of it.
So he goes and lectures on the idolatry and errors of the Roman
Catholic Church, to prevent him from falling, as he calls it, into bad
hands.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Lord
Stafford was a good Catholic, but his wife a strict Protestant. He had
been living several years in Abbeville, France. He begged the Bishop of
Amiens, Monseigneur de la Motte, to convert his wife. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">"God only can
convert the soul," answered the Bishop; "you can do her more good by
praying for her than by talking to her."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now
Lady Stafford had a great esteem for St. Francis de Sales. "If I could
meet a bishop like him," she said, "I might become a Catholic." She had
an interview with the Bishop of Amiens. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">At first, he avoided the
subject of religion, and sought to gain her confidence.</span> One day he
asked her if her conscience was entirely at rest, if she had no doubts
about her religion, living thus separated from the Church. "With the
Bible in my hand," she answered, "I fear no one. I am quite satisfied."
The words of the bishop, however, made a deep impression on her. She
began to doubt seriously of the truth of her sect. She consulted the
bishop. She heard one of his sermons, and conceived a great desire to
be able to profess the same religious belief as this saintly prelate.
She had yet some doubts about holy Mass and purgatory. She consulted
the bishop once more. Instead of settling her doubts immediately, the
bishop said: "Madame, you are acquainted with the Protestant Bishop of
London. You have evidently great confidence in him. Go, then, and lay
before him what I now tell you: The Bishop of Amiens declares that he
will become a Protestant, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">if you can disprove the fact that St.
Augustine, whom you regard as one of the greatest lights of the Church,
offered up the holy Mass, and offered it up for the dead, viz., for his
own deceased mother."</span> The proposition was accepted. Lady Stafford
begged her husband to go to London, and there, <i>incognito</i>,
place the written message in the hands of the Protestant bishop, and
bring back his written answer. The Protestant bishop read the message,
and, on being requested to write an answer, he said: "This lady has
fallen into bad hands; she will be perverted. Whatever I might say will
not hinder the evil. A letter from me would only give rise to
misunderstandings and unpleasant recriminations." As we may imagine,
Lady Stafford was <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">greatly surprised at this answer. She was sincere. It
was evident that the bishop did not wish to answer, because he could
not.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
These two thoughts especially moved her to take the final step: "1. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">No Catholic </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">ever</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> became
a Protestant in order to do penance for his sins, and to return to God,
while many Protestants have become Catholics for this very reason.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"2.
The Protestants honor as saints many doctors and fathers of the Church
who taught a doctrine just the reverse of Protestantism; and,
consequently, Protestants must admit that one can become a saint by
imitating these holy doctors, and by living and dying in their belief.
Lady Stafford made the spiritual exercises for a few days in a convent,
and finally became a good, fervent Catholic." (Herbert.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Like
the London Protestant bishop, Bishop Coxe, too, knows that many
non-Catholics have fallen into bad hands and became very edifying
Catholics. He knows that good Catholic books, that clearly explain the
Catholic religion, are also bad hands by which many non-Catholics have
been converted to the Catholic Church. He knows that <i>Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i> is also one of those bad hands. To prevent non-Catholics from reading this little book, which proves so clearly that <i>only</i> the
Roman Catholic Church is the true Church of Christ, and that no
salvation is possible out of her, he takes from it a few questions and
answers, <i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">dishonestly</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> detached from the context, and twists them, as he does Holy Scripture, to his own destruction and to that of his neighbor.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We have not learned what Bishop Coxe has said on these questions and answers; but, to judge from the anonymous article <i>Queer Explanation</i>, we understand that he used them as arguments to denounce the idolatry <i>and error of the Catholic religion</i>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
It
is not from conviction that Mr. Coxe declares the Catholic religion
idolatrous and full of errors, for he knows too well that idolatry was
abolished by the Catholic Church, and that, if it were not for her, he
himself would be an idolater. If Coxe slanders the Spouse of Christ in
a most impious manner, it is from devilish hatred to her. And why is it
that he and many other Protestants entertain a devilish hatred to the
Catholic Church?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
so-called Reformers," says Dr. O. A. Brownson, "supposed at first that
they could maintain dogmatic religion by means of the Bible, without
any divinely authorized interpreter or teacher, for they were not aware
at first how much their interpretation of Scripture depended on the
tradition of the Church in which they had all been educated. When shown
this by Catholics, and shown still further that the Bible, interpreted
by tradition, supported the claims of the papacy and the Catholic
Church, from which they had separated, they were forced, in order to be
consistent with themselves, either to return to the Catholic Church or
to reject the traditional interpretation of the written word, and to
rely henceforth solely, in their interpretation of the sacred text, on
grammar and lexicon. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">But interpreted solely by grammar and lexicon, it
was soon discovered that no uniform and consistent dogmatic system
could with any tolerable degree of certainty be educed from the Holy
Scriptures.</span> There is no denying the fact. The variations of
Protestantism, even during the lives of the reformers, the
multiplication of Protestant sects, all appealing alike to the sacred
text, and the experience of three hundred and more years, render it
indubitable. Hard pressed by their Catholic opponents, Protestants were
driven to the sad alternative of either condemning their separation
from the Church and returning to her communion, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #262a2b; background-color: #ccccff;">or of giving up
dogmatic religion as unessential and falling back on interior feeling
or sentiment.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
reformers imagined that they had opposed a truth to the authority of
the Church when they asserted the authority of the Bible; but in doing
this they only changed the form of their denial. Their assertion of the
authority of the Bible was purely negative, simply the denial of the
authority of the Church to interpret it or declare and apply its sense.
It meant neither more nor less; for the Church asserted and always had
asserted the authority of the Bible, interpreted and applied by the
divinely instituted court in the case. The Bible, Protestant experience
has proved, without the Church as that court, is as unauthoritative as
are the statutes of a kingdom or republic, left to the private judgment
of the citizen or subject, without the civil court to interpret and
apply them to the case in hand. They, then, did not oppose to the
Church as the principle of their denial any truth or authority. Nothing
but pure denial, historically as well as logically, Protestantism, in
spite of every refuge or subterfuge, has reached its inevitable
termination - <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">the negation of all authority, external or internal,
spiritual or secular, and therefore of all faith, of all objective
truth, and of all religion; for the very nature of religion is to bind
the conscience, or the obligation of man to obey God."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
St. Alphonsus says: "To reject the divine teaching of the Catholic
Church is to reject the very basis of reason and revelation, for
neither the principles of the one nor those of the other have any
longer any solid support to rest on; they can then be interpreted by
every one as he pleases; every one can deny all truths whatsoever he
chooses to deny. I therefore repeat: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #703800; background-color: #ffcc99;">If the divine teaching authority
of the Church, and the obedience to it, are rejected, every error will
be endorsed and must be tolerated.</span>" (Appendix to his work <i>Council of Trent</i>.)
. "Indeed, by denying the very foundation of religion, or, rejecting
revealed truth," says Brownson, "we deprive reason itself of its
strength; and obscure its light. It ceases to be able to hold with a
firm grasp the truth that lies in its own order, as is evinced by the
immense intellectual superiority of Catholics over Protestants. Compare
an Irish or Spanish peasant with an English or Protestant-German
peasant, the learned Benedictines of St. Maur or the Bollandists, with
your most erudite Protestant scholars and critics, or the great
mediaeval doctors with your most lauded Protestant theologians.<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;"> The
difference in mental lucidity, acuteness, and strength is so great as
to render all comparison almost ridiculous."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
age" says Dr. O. A. Brownson, "boasts of its liberality; but its
boasted liberality is the result of its indifferentism to dogmatic
theology, and its lack of firm belief in any positive or affirmative
truth at all. The sects have ceased to cut each other's throats, for
the differences between them are not worth quarrelling about, since
they are all animated by one and the same spirit, and are moving in one
and the same direction. Yet, wherever the age is in earnest, it is as
intolerant as any preceding age. There may be individuals who honestly
detest intolerance in every way or shape, but these are chiefly to be
found among Catholics who take seriously the popular doctrine of
religious liberty, and go out of their way to disclaim all solidarity
with the past history of their Church, and to protest against the
spirit, if not the very letter, of the Syllabus. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">The Church teaches the
truth, and all truth is intolerant, and refuses to tolerate even the
semblance of error.</span> The popularity or the unpopularity of a principle
or doctrine has nothing to do with its truth or with one's obligation
to stand by it. Where Catholics are in a minority, as with us, worldly
prudence may seem to counsel the advocacy of what is called, but
falsely so called, the freedom of conscience, that is, the right of
every man to form or to choose for himself his own religion and abide
by it; but a higher prudence, divine prudence, counsels adherence to
Catholic principle, to that which is true always and everywhere.
Neither the principles nor the doctrines of the Church change or
undergo any modification with the changes or variations of time or
place. No man has the right before God, however he may before the
state, to hold any religion but the one only true Catholic religion,
and no one can adhere to any other but at his own peril.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Yet,
with all their boasted liberality, Protestants assert only the liberty
to deny the truth, and if their intolerance to Catholicity has changed
its form, it has not diminished in its intensity. Their hatred of the
Church has in no degree abated. Protestant nations do not now persecute
Catholics, as they did in the beginning, from fear of the intervention
of foreign Catholic governments, for, strictly speaking, there are no
longer any Catholic governments on earth; yet their dread of the Church
and hostility to everything Catholic are as great as ever, and
precisely because <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">the term </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Catholic</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> is directly
opposed to their denial of objective truth, and their resolution of
religion into a subjective sentiment or emotion, varying with place and
time, and from individual to individual.</span> They feel this; they feel that
Catholicity is the assertion of Catholic truth, and therefore that the
Church differs from them, not simply in degree, as more or less, but in
kind, and directly contradicts their whole order of thought. Hence the
intolerance of Protestants to Catholicity is not inspired by love of
truth or by zeal for the word of God, but by their want of faith, and
wish to feel themselves free from all obligation to believe and hold
fast the truth, to follow either reason or revelation, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">contented with
their own opinions, whatever they may be, and satisfied to live and die
in their religious indifferentism, or simple religious subjectivism.</span>
This they cannot do so long as confronted with the Catholic Church.
They must destroy her or not be able to enjoy with a quiet conscience
their own beliefs or no beliefs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
hostility to the Church does not arise from her special doctrines or
dogmas, or from any intellectual conviction that they are false or
unreasonable, but from the fact that she teaches that truth is
objective, independent of the believer, and is obligatory, and no one
has or can have the right before God to resist it. Protestants hate the
Church for two reasons: 1. because she claims to teach infallibly by
the divine assistance, and 2. because she maintains that truth is
Catholic and binds both reason and conscience. The claim of the Church
to teach by divine authority through the Pope and Councils was the
principal object of hostility in the beginning. This was an absolute
necessity of the position assumed by the reformers. But, we have seen,
as time went on, it became necessary, in order to sustain their
position against the pressure of the Catholic argument, to deny not
only the authority of the Church; but also the authority of truth
itself, and then to hold themselves under no obligation to regard it,
and free to resist it whenever they chose. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">The presence and influence
of the Church are opposed to this interior freedom from truth, which
unbelievers call freedom of mind, and Protestants religious liberty,
and both make war on her, and war to the knife,</span> because she does not
and cannot favor it: They, unbelievers, and Protestants, form an
alliance against her, and seek, by all the arts and devices in their
power, her total destruction from the face of the earth; for both
instinctively feel that either she or they must perish.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is worthy of remark that in the war which Protestants and infidels have
hitherto waged against the Church neither has nor pretends to have any
truth or principle to oppose to her. They do not fight for the truth,
nor for any affirmative or Catholic principle that she denies or
neglects; but for what they call the rights of the mind, which,
translated into plain English, means the emancipation of the human mind
from the authority of truth, and therefore from God who is truth, or,
in simpler terms still, the liberty to treat truth and falsehood as of
equal value, as equally indifferent, or to deny all real distinction
between them, and therefore between right and wrong. Neither reason nor
revelation can tolerate this sort of liberty - intellectual and moral
license rather; and the very existence and presence of the Church
condemns it. Hence the irreconcilable antagonism between the Church and
the sects. Yet is there a notable difference between the temper and
motives of the two parties. The Church is always calm and collected,
for she knows that she has the truth; she indulges in no passion,
resorts to no violence, to no cruelty or harshness against her enemies,
for she knows that they are only harming themselves, not her; and hence
she is moved in her resistance to their blind rage only by that divine
charity which seeks to save souls, not to destroy them. She is moved by
love for her enemies, and seeks at all times, by all the means in her
power, to do them good, - good for time and for eternity. Her temper
towards them is that of infinite tenderness and compassion. But the
temper of her enemies towards her is that of hatred, and hatred without
cause; they are not moved by charity, by love of souls; for, if they
believe in salvation at all, they believe that souls can be saved in
the Church at least as well as out of it, and hence, the dupes of their
own hateful passions, there is no extreme of violence or cruelty to
which, where they have the power, they will not go, if they judge it
necessary or useful to their cause. We see the proofs of it in the
anti-Catholic legislation and measures of Prussia, of Switzerland, of
protestantized Italy, revolutionary Spain, and the miserable republics
south of us on this continent, where the influence of our own republic
has been most hostile to religion and the peace and order of society.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"All
these things prove, first, that the Protestant party do not, as they
pretend, oppose the Church for purely political reasons, for she has no
political power or connection; and, second, that they really, here and
everywhere, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">oppose her because she is Catholic in her teaching, asserts
truth as binding on the intellect and the conscience, in direct
contradiction to their doctrine of the indifference of truth and
falsehood, or that every man has the natural right to be of any
religion, if not Catholic, or of no religion, as he pleases.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"There
are, no doubt, Protestants in large numbers who hold the principal
Christian mysteries as taught by the Church and handed down by
tradition; <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #181a1b; background-color: white;">but they, as we have said, hold them, not as Catholic truth,
but as opinions, </span>which do not bind the intellect or conscience, and
which they are free to hold or reject as suits their pleasure, their
convenience, or their caprice. In the popular language of the day, they
are called simply <i>religious opinions</i>, not dogmas, and
rarely articles of faith. Some may hold them to be essential doctrines
of Christianity, but <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Christianity itself is held to be an opinion, or
an interior sentiment, not a law which no one has the right to dispute</span>,
and which everyone is bound to obey. It is only one among many
religions, none of which are wholly false or wholly true.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"There
are, we like to believe, among Protestants, many individuals who are
far superior to their Protestantism, who have not yet learned to
distrust reason, who hold that truth is obligatory, that religion is
the law of conscience, who are honest, upright, kind-hearted, and
benevolent according to their light, and who mean to be true Christian
believers. These can be reasoned with and be more or less affected by
argument; but they are not genuine Protestants. They may not very well
understand the doctrines retained from the Church by the early
reformers, but they believe them to be revealed truths, which it would
be sinful in them to deny, not mere opinions which one is free to hold
or not, hold according to his pleasure. These serve to keep up a show
of religion in the several Protestant sects, but they are not governed
by the Protestant spirit, and if carried away, by the Protestant
movement, they are not its leaders. They are the laggards in the onward
march of Protestantism. You find some of them in Geneva, who in earnest
condemn the measures adopted by the Council against Bishop Mermillod
and the Catholic clergy; some, like Herr von Gerlach, in Prussia, who
resist with all the means in their power the legislation demanded by
the government against the Church and her faithful pastors; and a small
number even in this country who openly oppose the iniquity of taxing
Catholics for the support of schools to which their consciences forbid
them to send their children. It is not these, as men, as individuals,
that we denounce, for many of them we honor and esteem, but the
Protestantism with which they are associated.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"That
Protestants, that so-called orthodox Protestants at least, profess to
hold, and claim as belonging to their Protestantism, many things that
are also held by Catholics, nobody denies; but these things are no part
of Protestantism, for the Church held and taught them ages before
Protestantism was born. They are part and parcel of the one Catholic
faith, and belong to Catholics only. Protestants can rightfully claim
as Protestant only those things wherein they differ from the Church,
which the Church denies, and which they assert; that is, what is
peculiarly or distinctively Protestant. We cannot allow them to claim
as theirs what is and always has been ours; we willingly accord them
their own, but not one whit more. All which they profess to hold in
common with us is ours, not theirs. Adopting this rule, which is just
and unimpeachable, nothing in fact is theirs but their denials, and as
all their denials are, as we have seen, made on no Catholic principle
or truth, they are pure negations, and hence Protestantism is purely
negative, and consequently is no religion, for all religion is
affirmative.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Nor
is this all. We have seen that the Protestant denials, in both their
logical and historical developments, lead to the <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">denial of all dogmatic
religion, of all objective truth, and reduce the truths of reason and
of revelation to mere personal opinions</span>, and therefore involve the
denial of those very doctrines which Protestants profess to hold in
common with us. The immense majority of Protestants will give up these
doctrines, or consent to hold them simply as opinions with no objective
authority, sooner than desert the Protestant movement or reject the
denials which are the essence of Protestantism, if we may speak of the
essence of a negation, which has no being in itself or elsewhere. A few
of the laggards may be occasionally captured, but most of them will
quicken their pace and close up with the main body. Individual
conversions, indeed, are made, which the in aggregate are considerable,
but which are little more than the dust in the balance compared with
the whole number of Protestants, and are by far outnumbered by the
Catholics who lapse, here and elsewhere, into Protestantism or
infidelity.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is obvious, then, that to carry on a controversy with Protestants, as
if they were Christians simply erring as to some portions of the
Christian faith, can effect nothing. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">They cannot be convinced by
argument, for they hold firmly nothing which can serve as the basis of
an argument.</span> It seems to us much more important to strip them of all
Christian pretensions, to deprive them of their prestige and the power
of seduction which their Christian profession gives them, by showing
them up in their utter nakedness as downright infidels, than to labor
to make them accept the Catholic doctrines they avowedly reject.
Infidels they are, and it is of no little importance to let it be seen
that no man can be a Protestant and be at the same time a Christian or
follower of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We owe this to
uninstructed or imperfectly instructed, and especially to our
worldly-minded Catholics, who are exposed to Protestant influences and
seductions, and who would recoil with horror from open and undisguised
infidelity or denial of the Lord who has bought us, and <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">yet be tempted
to fraternize with Protestants who pretend that they are Christians</span>,
and hold the essentials of the Christian faith, if they find that
Catholics themselves concede that Protestants are Christians, though
heterodox Christians. We owe it also to those who, in the ranks of
Protestants, feel themselves bound to be Christians, and would fain be
Christians. Both classes should be made to understand what is true,
that <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">Protestantism is not Christianity, is not religion, but is, when
pushed to its last consequence, the denial of revelation, the denial of
reason, the denial of God, the author of reason, and only a disguised
atheism</span>, or subtle form of universal negation or nihilism. Every honest
Protestant should, as far as possible, be made to understand this, so
that he may understand the risk he runs if he remains in the ranks of
Protestants; and every Catholic should be made to understand it, so
that he may see clearly that, if he yields to the seduction of
Protestantism, he severs himself completely and entirely from Christ
our Lord, and insures his eternal perdition.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
know nothing more reprehensible than the mambypambyism babbled by
sentimental Catholics about the good faith of 'our separated brethren.'
There may be persons in good faith amongst Protestants, but, if so,
they do not lack opportunities of showing it, and of coming out from
the Babylon in which they have been reared. Men cannot be saved without
Christ, for there is no other name given under heaven whereby they can
be saved. Without faith it is impossible to please God, and he that
cometh to God must believe that he is, and is the remunerator of them
that seek him; and how can those be saved by Christ who adhere to the
party that rejects him and makes war on him. And how can they have
faith or believe in God who commune with those who resolve all faith,
all belief, all truth, indeed, into a mere opinion, or an inward
sentiment, varying with each individual? If Catholicity is Christian,
if reason is authoritative in its own province, nothing is more certain
than that Protestantism is in no sense Christian, and that persons
living and dying Protestants cannot be saved. It is a stultification of
common sense to maintain the contrary, and besides, it practically
neutralizes all our efforts to convert Protestants, and to bring them
to a living and saving faith in Christ.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
know what theologians say of invincible ignorance and we do not
contradict them: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">Invincible ignorance excuses from sin in that whereof
one is invincibly ignorant; but it gives no faith, no virtue; and
without faith, without positive virtue, no man can be saved.</span> The man
who holds implicitly the Catholic faith, but errs through invincible
ignorance with regard to some of its <i>consectaria</i>, and
even dogmas, may be saved; but how can a man be said to hold implicitly
the Catholic faith, who holds nothing, or rejects every principle that
implies it? It is not safe to apply to Protestants, who really deny
everything Catholic, a rule that is very just when applied to sincere
but ignorant Catholics, or Catholics that err through inculpable
ignorance. Protestantism does not stand on the footing of ordinary
heterodoxy, it is no more Christian than was Greek and Roman paganism.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"No
doubt, this will be complained of as illiberal, as quite too severe;
but the only question we have to ask is: Is it true? Is it the law? If
it is the law of God, it is true; if it is what the Church teaches, we
have nothing to do with the question of its liberty or illiberality, of
its severity or its leniency. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">All we have to guard against is against
asserting it in a harsh or illiberal spirit, in a severe and cruel
temper, or with any uncharitableness towards those who expose
themselves to the terrible consequences of rejecting Christ and his
law</span>, or who refuse to suffer him to reign over them. We may love and
pray for them, but to seek to alter the divine constitution of his
kingdom is to incur ourselves the guilt of rebellion. There is but one
right way; and while it is our duty to walk in it, it is also our duty
to do our best to show it to those who are out of it, and induce them
to come into it. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">It were a sin against charity to leave them to think
that they can be saved out of it, or by any other way</span>. It would alter
nothing in the law, which is, independent alike of them and of us, were
we to do so. A man may be as liberal as he pleases with what is his
own, but to give away what is another's is an injustice. God is just
and merciful, and he loves all the works of his hands, for never would
he have made anything, if he had hated it. Christ so loved even sinners
that he gave his life for them, and it is a want of faith in him to
doubt the wisdom or justice, the goodness or mercy of his law. The
Church cannot save those who reject her, but she weeps as a loving
mother over those who are out of the way, and go to sure destruction.
Charity is higher and broader than blind sentimentality. It loves all
men, but it loves them in God." (Review, Oct. 1873)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Every
well instructed Catholic knows and understands this great truth of our
religion, and would feel highly indignant at the suggestion of the
least thing contrary to it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
About
five years ago, if we remember well, a Protestant preacher of New
Orleans acted like the Protestant Bishop Coxe. He selected, from <i>Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i>,
the same detached sentences quoted by Coxe, to prove by them the
idolatry and error of the Catholic religion. He had his long discourse
inserted in a Protestant newspaper of New Orleans. His object was to
prevent Protestant ladies from taking part in a fair the profits of
which were to go towards paying off the debts of some Catholic
churches. In reply to this malicious article Judge McGloin, a learned
and devout Catholic of New Orleans, inserted in the same newspaper an
elaborate article in which he clearly proved, from good Catholic
authors, that the explanation which we had given of the Catholic
Doctrine in question was perfectly correct.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
How S. O. comments on the following questions and answers contained in <i>Familiar Explanation</i>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"<i>Question.</i> Have Protestants any faith in Christ? <i>Answer.</i> They never had. <i>Q.</i> Why not? <i>Ans.</i> Because there never lived such a Christ as they imagine and believe in. <i>Q.</i> In what kind of a Christ do they believe? <i>Ans.</i> In
such a one of whom they can make a liar with impunity, whose doctrines
they can interpret as they please, and who does not care what a man
believes, provided he be an honest man before the public. (Italics
ours). <i>Q.</i> Will such a faith in such a Christ save Protestants? <i>Ans.</i> No sensible man will assert such an absurdity. <i>Q.</i> What will Christ say to them on the day of judgment?<i>Ans.</i> I know you not, because you never knew me: <i>Q.</i> Are
Protestants willing to confess their sins to a Catholic bishop or
priest, who alone has power from Christ to forgive sins? 'Whose sins
you shall forgive they are forgiven them.' <i>Ans.</i> No;
for they generally have an utter aversion to confession, and therefore
their sins will not be forgiven them throughout all eternity. <i>Q.</i> What follows from this? <i>Ans.</i> That they die in their sins and are damned."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
comment which Bishop Coxe has made on these questions and answers is
said to have given occasion to "the most prominent priest of the U. S."
to put his own comment on the same questions and answers.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
are rules for interpreting Holy Scripture; there are rules for
interpreting laws and the last will of a man; and there are rules for
interpreting an author's doctrine. One of these rules is to understand
well the <i>status quaestionis</i> and give it in plain words. This the most prominent priest of the U. S. has purposely ignored.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Another
rule to interpret an author's doctrine is that, if an author has
published a small work, and has written at large on the same subject,
we must interpret his small work according to what he says in his large
work and in the latest edition of his work. Now, what bishop, what
priest, what Catholic editor of a newspaper does not know that the Rev.
M. Muller, C.SS.R., has published nine large volumes in explanation of
Catholic Doctrine. Who can believe that S. O. is not aware of this
fact? Did not then charity and justice plainly tell him that, in
explaining Father Muller's small volume on Christian Doctrine, he must
follow the Explanation of Christian Doctrine which Father Muller has
given in his large work of Christian Doctrine?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Another
rule of interpreting an author's doctrine is to explain it in
connection with the context. That the Protestant Bishop Coxe has
dishonestly left out all the proofs which we have given in Explanation
of Christian Doctrine from pp. 10 to page 86; that he has dishonestly
taken up sentences detached from the proofs preceding them, from pp. 87
to 97, and following them from pp. 98 to 116, to show that there is no
salvation possible out of the Roman Catholic Church; that he has
misinterpreted them, we can easily account for, because he even knows
how to misquote Holy Scripture and misinterpret its meaning. All
heretics have done this. Need we wonder at his dishonesty in misquoting
and misinterpreting sound doctrine of a Catholic author? No Catholic
wonders at this, because we all know that heresies have been maintained
for some time by the same false principles from which they have sprung.
We know that there are many Protestants who live in <i>vincible</i> or <i>culpable</i> <wbr></wbr>ignorance
of the true religion - of the true Church of Christ. Being unwilling to
give up their false, human religion, they are glad to find even
frivolous reasons to quiet their uneasy consciences and to remain as
they are. Protestant preachers, too, know this from their own
experience. Hence they quote texts from Holy Scripture to make them
feel easy, such as the most prominent priest of the U. S. quotes in
their favor when he says: "They (Protestants) say with us, in the
language and meaning of the Apostle: 'There is no other Name (Jesus
Christ) under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.'" In like
manner, Protestant preachers will misquote and misinterpret certain
Catholic authors' doctrines detached from the context, and draw from
them frivolous reasons whereby to quiet the uneasy consciences of
certain members of their congregations in regard to the true religion.
Knowing that dishonest preachers have, in this way, taken hold of some
answers detached from the context in our <i>Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i> of
the first edition, we have, more than a year ago, changed, in the
second edition, those answers, though true in the sense they were
given. But alas! that the dishonesty, the twisticalness and tortuosity
of the minds of Protestant preachers should have been imitated by a
brother priest, that he thus should have confirmed culpably and
inculpably ignorant Protestants in their wrong belief; that he thus
should have made Catholics, who are weak in faith, still weaker in it,
and have strengthened liberal Catholics in their wrong views, is
something that baffles almost all belief.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now, to show plainly and understand well his grave errors, we must state clearly the point in question. This point is: <i>"Out
of the Roman Catholic Church there is no salvation.." Heretics are out
of the Roman Catholic Church; therefore,if they die as heretics, they
are lost forever.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Here the question arises, "Who is a <i>heretic</i>?"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The word "<i>heretic</i>"
is derived from the Greek, and means to choose or adhere to a certain
thing. Hence a baptized person, professing Christianity, and choosing
for himself what to believe and what not to believe as he pleases, in
obstinate opposition to any particular truth which he knows is taught
by the Catholic Church as a truth revealed by God, is a heretic.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To make a person guilty of the sin of heresy, three things are required:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
1. He must be baptized and profess Christianity. This distinguishes him from a Jew and idolater;</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
2. He must refuse to believe a truth revealed by God, and taught by the Church as so revealed;</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
3.
He must obstinately adhere to error, preferring his own private
judgment in matters of faith and morals to the infallible teaching of
the Catholic Church. Hence it follows that the following persons are
guilty of the sin of heresy: -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
1.
All those baptized persons who profess Christianity and obstinately
reject a truth revealed by God and taught by the Church as so revealed;</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
2.
Those who embrace an opinion contrary to faith, maintain it
obstinately, and refuse to submit to the authority of the Catholic
Church;</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
3.
Those who wilfully doubt the truth of an article of faith, for, by such
a wilful doubt, they actually question God's knowledge and truth, and
to do this is to be guilty of heresy ;</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
4. Those who know the Catholic Church to be the only true Church, but do not embrace her faith;</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
5.
Those who could know the Church, if they would candidly search, but
who, through indifference and other culpable motives, neglect to do so;</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
6.
Those Anglicans who know the true Church, but do not become Roman
Catholics, thinking that they approach very near the Catholic Church,
because their prayers and ceremonies are like many prayers and
ceremonies of the Catholic Church, and because their creed is the
Apostles' Creed. These are heretics in principle, for "the real
character of rank heresy," says St. Thomas Aquinas, "consists in want
of submission to the divine teaching authority in the Head of the
Church."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Heresy,
therefore, is a corruption of the true faith. "This corruption," says
St. Thomas Aquinas, "takes place either by altering the truths which
constitute the principal articles of faith, or by denying obstinately
those which result therefrom. But, as the error of a geometrician does
not affect the principles of geometry, so is the error of a person
which does not affect the fundamental truths of faith, no real heresy."</div>
<div data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Should
a person have embraced an opinion which is contrary to faith, without
knowing that it is opposed to faith, he is, in this case, no heretic,
if he is disposed to renounce his error as soon as he comes to know the
truth.</div>
<div data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
it is false to say that only those truths are of faith which have been
defined by the Church, and that therefore he only is a heretic who
denies a defined truth.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
man steals a large sum of money from his neighbor. Now is that man no
thief so long as the court has not pronounced him guilty of theft?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Jesus
Christ has revealed to his Church a certain number of truths. She knows
what those truths are. She has always believed and taught them as
revealed truths. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">"Every revealed truth," says Cardinal Manning, "is
definite and precise; nevertheless all are not defined; but the Church
defined many of these truths in precise terms only when it was fit or
necessary to do so;</span> and this fitness, or necessity, arose when a
revealed truth was obscured, or contested, or denied out of vincible or
invincible ignorance. Those who, out of invincible ignorance, denied
certain revealed truths, were excused from heresy until the Church
delivered them from the ignorance of these truths by declaring and
defining them in precise terms. The definition, however, adds nothing
to its intrinsic certainty, for this is derived from divine Revelation;
the definition adds only the extrinsic certainty of universal
promulgation by the doctrinal authority of the Church, imposing
obligation upon all the faithful."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No
doubt, Luther, Calvin, and other <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">heresiarchs of the sixteenth century
were considered by the Church as heretics even before she had defined
those truths which were denied by those impious men</span>; and those denied
truths were articles of, and believed as such just as firmly before as
after their definition by the Council of Trent. "So in like manner,"
says Cardinal Manning, "the existence of God has always been an article
of faith, and yet it was defined, only a few years ago, in the Vatican
Council. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Hence, all those truths are articles of faith, which are
taught by the Church as revealed truths, no matter whether or not they
are defined."</span> (For instance, the Church teaches the Assumption of the
Blessed Mother of God, body and soul, into heaven, in the institution
of the feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in her
Office and holy Mass of this feast, as clearly as she could teach it by
defining this truth.)<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> "Any one, therefore, who knows that the Church
teaches a truth as revealed, is bound in conscience to believe it as an
article of faith; if he does not so believe it, he is a heretic before
God."</span> (<i>Vat. Counc.</i> by CARDINAL MANNING.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Any
one, then, who sufficiently knows the truths of the true religion and
denies even but one of them, commits one of the greatest sins. To
reject what we know has been revealed by God is not only to cut
ourselves off from all the blessings of religion, but it is to call in
question the fact that the Lord of heaven and earth is a God of Truth,
and he who calls in question this Truth, offers to God the greatest
insult. We believe the truths of faith because God has revealed them
and proposes them by his infallible Church for our belief. Now, to
believe some of these truths and reject one or more of them is as much
as to say: I believe that God told the truth in this point, but not in
that other. This is a horrible blasphemy. Wilful heresy, therefore, in
regard even to but one sacred truth of religion, destroys all faith,
attacking as it does the authority of God, who revealed the truth. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">If a
man who poisons the food of his fellow-men is most damnable in the
sight of God, how much more damnable are not those who poison the souls
of men by the seed of heresy.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
take away the life of the Body is a mortal sin. Now, is it not a
greater crime to rob the soul of its life - the grace of God, and lead
it to everlasting perdition by false doctrines? Hence it is that Holy
Scripture condemns the sin of heresy in the strongest terms.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"A
man," says St. Paul, "that is a heretic, after the first and second
admonition, avoid; knowing that he who is such an one is subverted, and
sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment." (Tit. iii. 10.) And
again he says:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Though
we, or an angel from heaven, preach a Gospel to you besides that which
we have preached to you, let him be anathema, "that is, accursed. (Gal.
i. 8, 9.) St. Paul also classes sects or heresies among the works of
the flesh, and says that those who do such things shall not obtain the
kingdom of God. (Gal. i. 8, 9.) St. Paul also classes sects or heresies
among the works of the flesh, and says that those who do such things
shall not obtain the kingdom of God. (Gal. i. 8, 9)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
not every one who lives in heresy is guilty of the sin of heresy. Hence
we distinguish two kinds of heretics: Those who are, and those who are
not, guilty of the sin of heresy. We made this distinction of heretics
in our little work <i>Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i>, as S. O. testifies when he says: 1. It is evident that the author of <i>Explanation</i> "had in mind a <i>wilful, obstinate, obdurate, God-defying, truth-rejecting, unrepentant heretic;"</i> 2. when, from Familiar Explanation, he quotes the following question and answer:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"<i>Q.</i> What
are we to think of the salvation of those who are out of the pale of
the Church without any fault of theirs, and who never had any
opportunity of knowing better? <i>Ans.</i> <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">Their inculpable
ignorance will not save them; but if they fear God, and live up to
their conscience, God in his infinite mercy will furnish them with the
necessary means of salvation, even so as to send, if needed, an angel
to instruct them in the Catholic faith, rather than let them perish
through inculpable ignorance."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
According
to this distinction of heretics we divide the doctrine of the Church on
heretics into two parts. In part I. we will speak of those who are true
heretics, that is, of those who are guilty of the sin of heresy and die
in it; and in part II. we will speak of those who are not guilty of the
sin of heresy.</div>

1. S. O. Begins to Comment ON THE ABOVE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. [He
claims that preaching EENS to protestants is misrepresenting the
doctrine]</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
S. O. emphatically declares that,</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<i>"Such
expositions of the Church's doctrine as applicable to modern
Protestants have, to my own knowledge, done a great deal of harm to
honest, well-meaning, conscientious people, and give an entirely false
idea of the belief of Protestants. There is nothing to be gained by
misrepresenting our own doctrines, and just as little by
misrepresenting the doctrines of those who do not believe all that we
do."</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Is
there not much ignorance contained in the above words of S. O. ? To
misrepresent our own Catholic doctrines is to misrepresent God who
revealed them; it is to misrepresent the Church of Christ that teaches
them; and to do all this is a terrible crime.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
what can S. O. mean by misrepresenting Protestant doctrines? Very
likely this: It is very wrong to make the devil blacker than he is, and
to call him the author of Protestantism; it is very wrong to say that
Protestant belief is only human belief and availeth nothing unto
salvation; that this faith is no <i>absolute, divine faith</i> in Christ and his religion; in a word, it is very wrong to represent Protestantism such as it is.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Nothing,
he says, is to be gained by misrepresenting God and the devil, the
teachers from God and those from the devil, truth and falsehood, divine
and human faith, true and false Christianity.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
is there nothing to be gained by misrepresenting God and his religion?
Is there nothing to be gained in representing Protestant belief such as
it is? Alas, S. O. seems not to see the loss in the former, nor the
gain in the latter way of acting! It will, therefore, be an act of
charity to continue to show him, in the sequel of this treatise, the
bad consequences of misrepresenting God and his religion, and the good
results of representing clearly the devil and his counterfeit religion.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"And
in the hope," he says, "of counteracting the false impressions conveyed
by such teaching, I desire to submit the foregoing questions and
replies to a fair examination. Let us tell the truth," he says, "and
shame the devil."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
understand well the examination to which that great priest of the
Church is going to submit some questions and replies of ours, it must
be remembered that we had given several clear proofs for the truth that
there is no salvation out of the Roman Catholic Church, namely:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Christ
has solemnly declared that only those will be saved, who have done
God's will on earth, as explained, not by private interpretation, but
by the infallible teaching of the Roman Catholic Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Not
every one," says Christ, "who saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doth the will of my Father who is in
heaven, he shall enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matt. vii. 21.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The will of the heavenly Father is that all men hear and believe his Son, Jesus Christ.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"This is my well beloved Son. Him you shall hear."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now, Jesus Christ said to his Apostles and to all their lawful successors:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"He that heareth <i>you</i> heareth <i>me</i>, and he that despiseth <i>you</i> despiseth <i>me</i>, and he that despiseth <i>me</i>, despiseth <i>him</i>, the heavenly Father, that sent <i>me</i>."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now
all those who do not listen to Jesus Christ speaking to them through
St. Peter and the Apostles, in their lawful successors, despise God the
Father; they do not do his will, and therefore heaven will never be
theirs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What non-Catholic engages a servant who tells him:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I
will serve you on condition that you give me three hundred dollars a
month and let me serve you according to my will, not according to
yours"?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
How,
then, could God the Father admit one into his Kingdom, who has always
refused to do his will, - who, instead of learning to do the will of
God, the full doctrine of Christ, through the Catholic Church, was
himself his own teacher, his own lawgiver, his own judge, in all
religious matters!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Go and teach all nations: teach them to observe <i>all things whatsoever</i> I have commanded you. He that believeth not all these things shall be condemned."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Our divine Saviour says:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"No one can come to the Father, except through me."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
If
we then wish to enter heaven, we must be united to Christ--to his body,
which is the Church, as St. Paul says. Therefore, out of the Church
there is no salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Again Jesus Christ says:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Whoever
will not hear the Church, look upon him as a heathen and a publican," a
great sinner. Therefore, out of the Church there is no salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Holy Scripture says:</div>
<div data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The Lord added daily to the Church such as should be saved." (Acts, ii. 47.)</div>
<div data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Therefore the Apostles believed and the holy Scriptures teach that there is no salvation out of the Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
the Fathers of the Church never hesitated to pronounce all those
forever lost who die out of the Roman Catholic Church: "He who has not
the Church for his mother," says St. Cyprian, "cannot have God for his
Father;" and with him the Fathers in general say that, "as all who were
not in the ark of Noe perished in the waters of the Deluge, so shall
all perish who are out of the true Church." St. Augustine and the other
bishops of Africa, at the Council of Zirta, A. D. 410, say: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">"Whosoever
is separated from the Catholic Church, however commendable in his own
opinion his life may be, he shall, for the very reason that he is
separated from the union of Christ, not see life, but the wrath of God
abideth on him."</span> Therefore, says St. Augustine, "a Christian ought to
fear nothing so much as to be separated from the body of Christ (the
Church). For, if he be separated from the body of Christ, he is not a
member of Christ; if not a member of Christ, he is not quickened by his
Spirit." (Tract. xxvii. in Joan., n. 6, col. 1992, tom. iii.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"In
our times," says Pius IX., "many of the enemies of the Catholic faith
direct their efforts toward placing every monstrous opinion on the same
level with the doctrine of Christ, or confounding it therewith; and so
they try more and more to propagate that<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> impious system of the
indifference of religions.</span> But quite of late, we shudder to say it,
certain men have not hesitated to slander us by saying that we share in
their folly, favor that most wicked system, and think so benevolently
of every class of mankind, as to suppose that not only the sons of the
Church, but that the rest also, however alienated from Catholic unity
they may remain, are alike in the way of salvation, and may arrive at
everlasting life. We are at a loss, from horror, to find words to
express our detestation of this new and atrocious injustice that is
done to us." (Allocution to the Cardinals, held on Dec. 17, 1847.) We
may also add here that Pope Leo XIII., in his Encyclical Letter to the
Archbishops and Bishops of Bavaria, teaches, as Pastor of the Universal
Church, that "submission to the Pope is necessary to salvation."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">"How
grateful then," says St. Alphonsus, "ought we to be to God for the gift
of the true faith. How great is not the number of infidels, heretics,
and schismatics. The world is full of them, and, if they die out of the
Church, they will all be condemned, except infants who die after
baptism."</span> (Catech. first command. No. 10 and 19.) Because, as
St.Augustine says, where there is no divine faith, there can be no
divine charity, and where there is no divine charity, there can be no
justifying or sanctifying grace, and to die without being in
sanctifying grace, is to be lost forever. ( Lib. I. Serm. Dom. in
monte, cap. V.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
faith, as we have already seen, the Church teaches very plainly in the
profession of faith which she requires converts to make before they are
received into the Church; the very first article reads as follows:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I, N. N., having before my eyes the holy Gospel which I touch with my hand, and <i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">knowing
that no one can be saved without that faith which the holy, Catholic,
Apostolic, Roman Church holds, believes and teaches</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">,</span> against which I grieve that I have greatly erred," etc.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
So it is evident that there is no salvation out of the Church. We gave several of these proofs for this great truth in <i>Familiar Explanation</i>.
Coxe, the Protestant bishop, and S. O. have dishonestly suppressed
them, and the latter has impudently asserted that we have
misrepresented the Catholic Doctrine; he, therefore, also asserts that
this Doctrine, which we have proved by the words of Our Lord, of his
Apostles, and of the Fathers of the Church, has been misrepresented by
our Lord himself, by his Apostles, and the Fathers and Doctors of the
Church. What great piety, this!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But, you know, a little volume, like <i>Familiar Explanation</i>,
giving so many plain reasons to show that salvation out of the Church
is impossible, is a bad hand, which should not fall into the hands of
non-Catholics, because the perusal of it might induce them to join the
Roman Catholic Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
answer to Q. 19. we put ten popular reasons together for one argument
to show that no salvation is possible for those who culpably adhere to
Protestant principles and die in them. These reasons are: 1. Because
true <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Protestants or true heretics have no </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">divine</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> faith</span>;
2. Because they make a liar of Jesus Christ, of the Holy Ghost, and of
the Apostles; 3. Because they have no faith in Jesus Christ; 4. Because
they fell away from the true Church of Christ; 5. Because they are too
proud to submit to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ; 6. Because <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">they
cannot perform good works whereby they can obtain heaven</span>; 7. Because
they do not receive the Body and Blood of Christ; 8. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Because they die
in their sins;</span> 9. Because they ridicule and blaspheme the Mother of God
and the Saints of heaven; 10. Because they slander the Spouse of Jesus
Christ, the Catholic Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
proved each of these assertions; but Bishop Coxe and S. O. dishonestly
again suppressed eight of these proofs, because they would have been so
many bad hands for non-Catholics, who, after the perusal of these
reasons, might have made up their minds to join the Catholic Church, in
spite of all difficulties. What an excellent way to tell the truth by
suppressing and concealing it from the public! What a ridiculous way to
shame the devil! What an honorable way to shame themselves!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
prevent non-Catholics from getting the little volume containing such
clear proofs for the truth of our religion, they made an attack upon
some reasons we gave to show that true Protestants have no faith in
Christ.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
S.
O. has taken up some of those reasons to show that we have
misrepresented both Catholic and Protestant belief. Let us see again
how he has told the truth and shamed the devil and especially himself.
It must be remembered that he had to show that salvation out of the
Church is possible, for we have proved by many reasons that it is
impossible. As he has solemnly declared that we have misrepresented
this Catholic doctrine, he should have proved from Holy Scripture, from
the General Councils of the Church, and from the writings of the
Fathers, that his assertion is true; for his anonymous authority is
worth nothing. He has proved none of his assertions, nor is he able to
disprove our doctrine, for by saying the contrary he would be a
heretic. Is not this a nice way to tell the truth, to shame the devil
and especially himself!</div>

between Catholic faith (divine faith) and Protestant faith (human faith)</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"<i>Q.</i> Have Protestants any faith in Christ? <i>Ans.</i> They never had."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To this answer S. O. replies:--</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I
ask, then, what do all Protestants, save those called Unitarians,
believe about Jesus Christ? They believe precisely what the Catholic
Church teaches, namely, that He is true God and true man, the Person of
the Word of God incarnate, conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of the
Virgin Mary; that He is the Messiah, the Redeemer; that by His infinite
merits alone is the salvation of mankind possible or obtainable." S. O.
asserts that Protestants believe precisely what the Catholic Church
teaches about Christ; but let it be remembered that<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> they do not believe
those truths </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">because the Catholic Church teaches them</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">; if they believe them, it is because they choose to believe them. Our faith in Christ is </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">absolute</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> and</span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> divine</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">; that of Protestants is all </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">human</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">.</span>
But our would-be theologian probably never understood the difference
between divine and human faith, or he would have made the distinction
that we make, and then he could not have said what he says of Catholic
and Protestant faith in Christ. So let us teach him the difference.</div>

WHAT CATHOLIC FAITH IS.">edit</a>]</span>§ 4. WHAT CATHOLIC FAITH IS.</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No
one can go to heaven unless he knows the way to heaven. If we wish to
go to a certain city, the first thing we do is to ask the way that
leads to it. If we do not know the way, we cannot expect to arrive at
that city. So, too, if we wish to go to heaven, we must know the way
that leads to it. Now, the way that leads to it is the knowing and
doing of God's will. But it is God alone who can teach us his will;
that is, what he requires us to believe and to do, in order to be happy
with him in heaven.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
end for which man was created - his everlasting union with God - says
the Vatican Council, is far above the human understanding. It was,
therefore, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">necessary that God should make himself known to man, and
teach him the end for which he was created, and what he must believe
and do in order to become worthy of everlasting happiness.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"If
you wish to judge well of a grand edifice, you must study in detail its
form and dimensions; you must examine minutely its style of
architecture and strive to comprehend the architect's design. All this
will cause you much trouble and impatience, and still your knowledge of
the edifice will not be complete.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"But,
if the architect himself explains to you his plan, and, in addition to
the knowledge you already have of the building, gives you sufficient
information of its first cause, then you will be able to give a full,
distinct description of the whole edifice.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"In
like manner, a learned man may strive on all occasions, and by all
natural means in his power, to know the first cause of the grand
edifice of creation, its plan and object. All this will give him much
trouble, and yet his knowledge of the work of creation will be very
incomplete so long as he has not learned its first cause, and plan, and
object from the divine Architect himself." (St. Thomas Aquinas.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
God himself, in his infinite mercy, came to tell us why he had created
us; he came and taught us the truths which we must believe, the
commandments which we must keep, and the means of grace which we must
use to work out our salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
know God's will is to know the true religion or the true way to heaven.
As God is but one, so his holy will is but one, and therefore his
religion is but one and the same. In order that we might learn, with
infallible certainty, this one true religion, Almighty God appointed
but one infallible teaching authority - the Roman Catholic Church - and
commanded all to hear her and believe her infallible doctrine, under
pain of exclusion from eternal life.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
God is infinite truth itself. He knows things only as they are, and can
speak them only as he knows them. As sovereign Author and Lord of all
things, he has an absolute authority over all men, - an authority which
he can exercise either directly by himself, or through an angel, or a
prophet, or one or more of his reasonable creatures. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">God, therefore,
has a right to command, under pain of eternal damnation, the human
understanding to believe certain truths; he has a right to command the
human will to perform certain duties, and the senses to make certain
sacrifices. </span>Nothing can be more reasonable than to submit to such a
command of God. This submission of the understanding and the will to
God's revelation is called faith, which, as St. Paul says, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">"bringeth
into captivity every understanding to the obedience of Christ."</span> (II.
Cor. x. 5.) As soon, then, as man bears the voice of his Maker, he is
bound to say: <i>Amen, it is so</i>; I believe it, no matter whether I understand it or not. The Lord of heaven and earth is the <i>Infallible</i> Truth itself. He can neither deceive nor be deceived. He is the <i>wherefore</i> and the <i>why</i> of my belief.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence,
St. Basil says: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">"Faith, always powerful and victorious, exercises a
greater ascendancy over minds than all the proofs which reason and
human science can furnish, because faith obviates all difficulties, not
by the light of manifest evidence, but by the weight of the infallible
authority of God, which renders them incapable of admitting any doubt."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"There
is," says Thomas Aquinas, "<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">more certainty in faith than in human
science</span> and all the other intellectual virtues. We must consider the
certainty of a thing in its cause, or the object that receives it. The
cause of our faith is God, the source and origin of all truth, So, by
this principle, no certainty is comparable to that of faith.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
may be said that he who knows perceives better than he who believes.
Does it hence follow that natural knowledge has more certainty than
faith? No; for a thing is to be considered rather by its cause than by
the disposition of him who receives it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Human
science and art are only contingencies, but the object of faith is the
knowledge of eternal truths. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Prudence and knowledge proceed from reason
and experience; but faith comes by the operation of the Holy Ghost. All
our sensitive organs and intellectual faculties are liable to err; but
faith is infallible, for it is founded on the word of God: 'Because you
received it from us, not as the word of men, but as the true word of
God.'"</span> (Thess. ii. 13.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, has revealed our religion and invested
all the truths of his revelation in an infallible Teaching Body - the
Holy Roman Catholic Church, through which he has made it known, and
continues to make it known, to all nations, to the end of time, in a
manner most easy and infallible. She is the heir to the rights of Jesus
Christ. She is the faithful depository of the spiritual treasures of
Jesus Christ. She is the infallible Teacher of the doctrines of Jesus
Christ. She wields the authority of Jesus Christ. She lives by the life
and spirit of Jesus Christ. She enjoys the guidance and help of Jesus
Christ. She speaks, orders, commands, concedes, prohibits, defines,
looses, and binds in the name of Jesus Christ. In the light of divine
faith, which the Catholic has received in baptism, he believes the
divine authority of the Church, and therefore he believes and obeys her
in all things; and in believing and obeying her, he believes and obeys
Almighty God himself, who said to the Apostles and their lawful
successors in the Catholic Church: "He that heareth you, heareth me,
and he that despiseth you, despiseth me." (Luke, x. 16.) The faith of
the Catholic, therefore, is divine, because it is based on divine
authority: He knows and believes that Jesus Christ speaks to him
through his Church, and therefore he believes all the truths she
teaches him, with the utmost firmness and simplicity, with an
unwavering conviction of their reality. The fact that Jesus Christ has
said it, has done it, has taught it to his infallible Church, and
commanded her to teach it to all nations, is for him the weightiest of
all reasons to believe it. The famous word of the Pythagoreans, "The
master has said it," was with them a foolish idolatry, believing, as
they did, that no one could be deceived. Applied, however, to Jesus
Christ, it is a first principle, a sacred axiom for every Catholic. The
heavens and the earth shall pass away, but "the truth of the Lord
remaineth forever." (Ps. cxvi. 2.) The good Catholic silences every
objection to his faith by saying: "The Son of God, Jesus Christ, has
revealed it to us by his Church, and we have no more questions to ask."
Hence St. Thomas Aquinas says: -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
principles and rule of faith depend on the authority and doctrine of
the one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. So, out of the true
Church there is no faith or salvation.<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> When the light of faith and
grace flashes upon the soul, then man firmly believes all that God has
revealed and proposes for our belief by his Church. Hence an act of
faith differs from all the other acts of the human intellect as to what
is true or false."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
is the reason why the Church allows none of her children to call into
question her divine mission. The light of faith which shines upon the
mind of a Catholic so utterly consumes doubt, that, hereafter he cannot
entertain it except by his own great fault.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Faith,"
says St. Alphonsus, "is a virtue, or a gift, which God infuses into our
souls in baptism, by which gift we believe the truths which God himself
has revealed to the Holy Church, and which she proposes to our belief.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"By the <i>Church</i> is
meant the Congregation of all who are baptized and profess the true
faith under a visible Head, that is, the Sovereign Pontiff.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I say, <i>the true faith</i>, to exclude heretics who, though baptized, are separated from the Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I
say, under a visible head, to exclude schismatics, who do not obey the
Pope, and on that account easily pass from schism to heresy. St.
Cyprian well says: 'Heresies and schisms have no other origin than this
- the refusal to obey the Priest of God, and the notion that there can
be more than one priest at a time presiding over the Church, and more
than one judge at a time filling the office of Vicar of Christ.'</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
have all the revealed truths in the Sacred Scriptures and in the
Traditions gradually communicated by God to his servants. But how
should we be able to ascertain what are the true Scriptures and the
true Traditions, and what is their true meaning, if we had not the
Church to teach us? This Church Jesus Christ established as the pillar
and ground of truth. To this Church our Saviour himself has promised
that she shall never be conquered by her enemies. 'The gates of hell
shall not prevail against her' (Matt. xvi. 18). The gates of hell are
the heresies and heresiarchs that have caused so many deluded souls to
wander from the right path. This Church it is that teaches us, through
her pastors, the truths which we must believe. Hence St. Augustine
says: 'I would not believe the Gospel were I not moved by the Authority
of the Church. The cause, then, which imposes on me the obligation to
believe the truths of faith is, because God, the Infallible Truth, has
revealed them, and because the Church proposes them to my belief. Our
rule of faith, therefore, is this: My God, because thou who art the
Infallible Truth, hast revealed to the Church the truths of faith, I
believe all that the Church proposes to my belief." (First Command. n.
4, 5, 6).</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Such
is the faith which God prescribes in the first commandment. It is only
by such faith that he is truly honored and worshipped; for, by such
faith we acknowledge him as the Sovereign Being of infinite
Perfections, made known to us by revelation; and as the Sovereign
Truth, who can neither deceive nor be deceived.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When
the famous and valiant Count de Montfort was told that our Lord in the
Sacred Host had appeared visibly in the hands of the priest, he said to
those who urged him to go and see the miracle: "Let those go and see it
who doubt it; as for myself, I believe firmly the truth of the mystery
of the Holy Eucharist, as our Mother the Holy Church teaches it. Hence
I hope to receive in heaven a crown more brilliant than the crowns of
the angels; for they being face to face with God, have not the power to
doubt."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Look
at the martyrs who, from being pagans, became Christians. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">They did not
die for the sake of a religious opinion; they died for the sake of
religion, because they were certain and convinced of its truth. </span>The
martyrs saw the truth, and how could they but speak what they had seen?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
They
might shudder at the pain, but they could not help seeing the truth of
their religion. Threats could not undo the heavenly truths, and
therefore could not silence their confession of them. "Truth," says St.
Thomas Aquinas, "is the good of the intellect, the life of the
intellect, whilst falsehood is the evil, the death of the intellect. As
long as man remained innocent, it was impossible for man's intellect to
believe that to be true which was really false. As in the body of the
first man there could not be the presence of any evil, so, in like
manner, in his soul there could not be the belief in anything false."
Hence we easily understand why<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> even innocent Catholic children have an
intuition of truth without fear and confusion</span>, and talk of God and his
mysteries as if they had conversed with angels, while they display a
clear knowledge of the whole circle of revealed truths, in comparison
with which knowledge the <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">wild guesses and perpetual contradictions of
the most famous and learned pagans, or unbelieving philosophers or
sectaries, are but inarticulate cries.</span></div>

One
day a little Irish girl was weeping to find herself in a Protestant
school, to which she had been carried by force, and where it was
considered a useful employment of time to blaspheme the Mother of God.
"How do you know she is in heaven?" said a grim Protestant spinster to
the little girl. The child knew very well that Our Lady is the Queen of
heaven, and enthroned by the side of her divine Son, but had never
asked herself <i>how</i> she knew it, nor met any one before
who was impudent enough to deny it. She winced for a moment, as if she
had received a blow, then flinging back the long hair which fell over
her face, this child of a Galway peasant fiercely answered: "How do I
know she is in heaven? <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Why, you Protestants don't believe in purgatory.
If she is not in heaven she must be in hell. It's a pretty son who
would send his mother to hell!"</span> Such an answer will surprise no
Catholic; it may astonish a Protestant. Other children say like words a
hundred times. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">The gift of faith is a light of the Holy Ghost, which
enlightens the minds of the faithful, even of children, to know and to
believe that what the Church teaches is a holy and divine doctrine.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Without this inestimable gift of grace - the light of divine faith - it is impossible to be saved, as we have shown in our <i>Familiar Explanation</i>. But Coxe and S. O. have dishonestly suppressed this truth and concealed it from their fellow-men.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Of
ourselves we can do only what is not above our natural strength.
Whenever we are to do something above our natural strength, we need the
help of another. Man is endowed with great natural gifts, - with the
gifts of understanding, will, and memory. By means of these gifts, man
can do great things: he can learn languages, build churches, palaces,
great cities, steamboats, railroads; he can count days, dates,
distances, and money. By the natural power of his reason, man can
understand various kinds of truths about this world, about human
society, about the realms of space, about matter, about the soul. By
his natural reason, man can inquire, argue, and draw conclusions, about
religious truth. His thoughts and words, however, about religious
truths will not extend beyond mere reasoning.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Cardinal
Newman tells us that, some years ago, there was much talk in the world
of a man of science, who was said to have found out a new planet. How
did he find it out? Did he watch night after night, wearily and
perseveringly, in the chill air, through the tedious course of the
starry heavens, for what he might find there, till at length, by means
of some powerful glass, he discovered, in the dim distance, this
unexpected addition to our planetary system? Far from it. It is said
that he sat at his ease in his library, and made calculations on paper
in the daytime: and thus, without looking once up at the sky, he
determined, from what was already known of the sun and the planets, of
their number, their positions, their motions, and their influences,
that, in addition to them all, there must be some other body in that
very place where he said it would be found, if astronomers did but turn
their instruments upon it.<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> Here, was a man who read the heavens, not
with eyes, but by reason. In like manner, reason and conscience may
lead, the natural man to discover, and in a measure, pursue, objects
which are, properly speaking, supernatural and divine.</span> The natural
reason is able, from the things which are seen, from the voice of
tradition, from the existence of the soul, and from the necessity of
the case, to infer the existence of God.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
man without eyes may talk about forms and colors. A blind man may pick
up a good deal of information of various kinds, and be very conversant
with the objects of sight, though he does not see. He may be able to
talk about them fluently, and may be fond of doing so; he may even talk
of seeing as if he really saw, till he almost seems to pretend to the
faculty of sight. He speaks of heights, and distances, and directions,
and the dispositions of places, and shapes and appearances, as
naturally as other men; and yet he is not duly aware of his own
pitiable privation. How does this come about? It is partly because he
hears what other men say about these things, and he is able to imitate
them, and partly because he cannot help reasoning upon the things he
hears, and drawing conclusions from them; and thus he comes to think
that he knows what he does not know at all.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Now,
this will explain the way in which the natural man is able partly to
understand, and still more to speak upon, supernatural subjects. There
is a large floating body of Catholic truth in the world. It comes down
by tradition from age to age; it is carried forward by preaching and
profession from one generation to another, and is poured about into all
quarters of the world. It is found in fulness and purity in the Church
alone; but portions of it, larger or smaller, escape far and wide, and
penetrate into places which have never been under the teaching of
divine grace. Now, men may take up and profess these scattered truths,
merely because they fall in with them. These fragments of revelation,
such as the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, or of the Atonement, are the
religion which they have been taught in their childhood; and therefore
they retain them, and profess them, and repeat them, without really <i>seeing</i> them
as the Catholic sees them, but as receiving them merely by word of
mouth, from imitation of others. In this way it often happens that a
man, external to the Catholic Church, writes sermons and instructions,
draws up and arranges devotions, or composes hymns which are faultless,
or nearly so, which are the fruit, not of his own illuminated mind, but
of his careful study, sometimes of his accurate translation, of
Catholic originals. The natural heart can burst forth, by fits and
starts, into emotions of love toward God. The natural imagination can
depict the beauty and glory of the divine attributes.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Catholic
truths and rites are so beautiful, so great, so consolatory, that they
draw one on to love and admire them with a natural love, as a prospect
might draw one on, or a skilful piece of mechanism. Hence men of lively
imagination profess this doctrine or that, or adopt this or that
ceremony or usage, for their mere beauty's sake, not asking themselves
whether they are true, and having no real perception or mental hold of
them. Thus, too, they will decorate their churches, stretch and strain
their ritual, and attempt candles, vestments, flowers, incense, and
processions, not from faith but from poetical feeling.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">"Moreover,
the Catholic creed, as coming from God, is so harmonious, so consistent
with itself, holds together so perfectly, so corresponds part to part,
that an acute mind, knowing one portion of it, would often infer
another portion, merely as a matter of just reasoning.</span> Thus an accurate
thinker might be sure that, if God is infinite and man finite, there
must be mysteries in religion. It is not that he feels the
mysteriousness of religion, but he infers it; he is led to it as a
matter of necessity; and, from mere clearness of mind and love of
consistency, he maintains it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Learned
men, outside the Church, may compose most useful works on the evidences
of religion, or in defence of particular doctrines, or in explanation
of the whole scheme of Catholicism. In these cases reason becomes the
handmaid of faith. Still it is not faith; it does not rise above an
intellectual view or notion; it affirms, not as grasping the truth, not
as seeing, but as "being of opinion," as "judging," as "coming to a
conclusion."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
natural man, then, can feel; he can imagine, he can admire, he can
reason, he can infer. In all these ways he may proceed to receive the
whole or part of Catholic truth; but he cannot see, he cannot love. His
religious sentiments may be right and good in themselves, but not in
him. His heretical sentiments on other points are a proof that he does
not see what he speaks of.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
natural conscience may ascertain and put in order the truths of the
great moral law, nay, even to the condemnation of that concupiscence
which it is too weak to subdue and is persuaded to tolerate.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
natural will can do many things really good and praiseworthy; nay, in
particular cases, or at particular seasons, when temptation is away, it
may seem to have strength which it has not, and to be imitating the
austerity and purity of a saint. One man has no temptation to hoard;
another has no temptation to gluttony and drunkenness; another has no
temptation to ill-humor; another has no temptation to be ambitious and
overbearing. Hence human nature may often show to advantage; it may be
meek, amiable, kind, benevolent, generous, honest, upright, and
temperate; and so a man may talk of Christ and heaven, too, read
Scripture, and 'do many things gladly,' in consequence of reading, and
exercise a certain sort of belief, however different from that faith which is imparted to us by grace<i>.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
natural man, therefore, before he is brought under the grace of divine
birth, can but inquire, reason, argue, and conclude about religious
truth, but he does not, cannot see it." (Cardinal Newman, on Grace). He
does not and he cannot have such faith in Christ as is necessary for
salvation. Hence we said that they (Protestants) never had any divine
faith in Christ. "He who does not believe all that Christ has taught,"
says St. Ambrose, "denies Christ himself." (In Luc. c. 9.) "It is
absurd for a heretic," says St. Thomas Aquinas, "to assert that he
believes in Jesus Christ. To believe in a man is to give our full
assent to his word and to all he teaches. True faith, therefore, is
absolute belief in Jesus Christ and in all he has taught. Hence he who
does not adhere to all that Jesus Christ has prescribed for our
salvation has no more the doctrine of Jesus Christ and of his Church,
than the Pagans, Jews and Turk's have." "He is" says Jesus Christ, "a
heathen and publican." As S. O. has impudently asserted that we have
misrepresented Protestant doctrine, no doubt, he would not feel in the
least ashamed even to tell St. Thomas Aquinas in his face, that he
misrepresents Protestant faith, when he says that it is absurd for a
heretic to say he believes in Jesus Christ, etc.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
S. O. tells again the readers of the <i>C. U.</i> and <i>T.</i> that "They (Protestants) say with us, in the language and meaning of the Apostle: 'There is no other <i>name</i> under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
applies only to Catholics who have the true religion of Christ, and do
the will of his heavenly Father; for Christ has solemnly declared:<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;"> "Not
every one who saith to me Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of
heaven; but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he
shall enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matt. vii. 21.)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
Protestants have no absolute faith in Jesus Christ, neither can they
have any absolute faith in these words of Christ. We say these words in
truth, because we have divine faith, and a Protestant has only human
faith in them. Here is the difference between Protestant and Catholic
belief, as we shall soon more clearly explain.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"This,"
he says, "being the undeniable truth," (that is, the faith of Catholics
and Protestants in Christ is the same) "what must we think of the
reason given why they said never to have had <i>any</i> faith in Christ! Let us hear it again: '<i>Q.</i> Why not?<i>Ans.</i> Because
there never lived such a Christ as they imagine and believe in.' This
answer put into the Catholic's mouth is false, for Protestants do
believe in just such a Christ as did live and die for us all, just such
a Christ as we believe and know to have lived, suffered, and died.'"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Let S. O. read over again the above answer of St. Thomas and St. Ambrose. We repeat again, that Protestants have no <i>absolute</i> or <i>divine</i> faith
in Christ, and therefore the above answer put in a Catholic's mouth is
perfectly true. But, as it is a good work to instruct the ignorant, let
us dwell for a few moments on the words of S. O. He is not ashamed to
tell us Catholics "that Protestants believe in just such a Christ as we
Catholics believe and know to have lived, suffered, and died." Now we
Catholics believe in a Christ in whom we have absolute, divine faith;
and this absolute, divine faith we have not only in Christ himself, but
also in all he has done for our salvation, and teaches through his one,
holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Now a Protestant can have no <i>divine</i> faith
in Christ nor in his teaching. For, "to reject but one article of faith
taught by the Church," says St. Thomas Aquinas, " is enough to destroy
faith, as one mortal sin is enough to destroy charity; for the virtue
of faith does not consist in merely adhering to the holy Scriptures,
and in revering them as the Word of God; it consists principally in
submitting our <i>intellect</i> and <i>will</i> to
the divine authority of the true Church charged by Jesus Christ to
expound them. 'I would not believe the Holy Scriptures,' says St.
Augustine, ' were it not for the divine authority of the Church.' 'He,
therefore, who despises and rejects this authority, cannot have true
faith. If he admits some supernatural truths, they are but simple
opinions, as he makes them (the truths) depend on his private
judgment." (De Fide, q. v., art. 3.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Indeed,
a religion," say, Cardinal Manning, "which men put together for
themselves, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">a Christianity which men make by picking and choosing a
doctrine here and a doctrine there, a form of belief which is made by
the selection of texts from Holy Scripture, are all human. The
fragments out of which such religions are made may be taken out of the
word of God;</span> nevertheless, they have ceased to be the word of God as
soon as any human intellect and human hand has taken them to pieces,
and put them together, and for this reason: Suppose that any man should
take the four Gospels, and out of them select certain texts, and put
them together, could that be a fifth gospel? No; the Gospel of St.
Matthew was written by St. Matthew, that of St. Mark by St. Mark, that
of St. Luke by St. Luke, that of St. John by St. John, and any man who
endeavored to make a fifth gospel would make a gospel of his own and
not of any Evangelist, because he would not know the sense, meaning,
and coherence of the texts so as to make that gospel an inspired book.
These texts were dictated to inspired writers by the Spirit of God, and
it would only be a fragmentary Christianity made out of the fragments
of the truths; it would simply be a religion of human institution, and
no truth which comes from man can be the matter of our faith."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
some Protestants; for instance, the Anglicans, think that they approach
very near to the Catholic Church: They will tell you that their prayers
and ceremonies are like many prayers and ceremonies of the Catholic
Church, that their creed is the Apostles' Creed. But, in principle,
they are very far off. "Thus," says Mr. Marshall, "they profess to
believe <i>in one Church</i>, which has unfortunately become half a dozen; <i>in unity</i>, which ceased to exist long ago for want of a centre; <i>in authority</i>, which nobody needs obey, because it has lost the power to teach; <i>in God's presence with the Church</i>, which does not keep her from stupid errors; <i>in a divine constitution</i>, which needs to be periodically reformed; <i>in a mission to teach all nations</i>, while she is unable to teach even herself; <i>in saints</i>, to whom Anglicans would be objects of horror and aversion; and <i>in sanctity</i> of
truths which their own sect has always defiled. What foolish belief.
Even an untutored Indian Chief, by the aid of his rude common-sense,
and the mere intuition of natural truth, does not fail to see the folly
of Protestant belief; and confounds it before those Protestant
missionaries who come to convert his tribe to Protestantism. Elder
Alexander Campbell, in a lecture before the American Christian
Missionary Association, relates the following: Sectarian missionaries
had gone among the Indians to disseminate religious sentiments. A
council was called, and the missionaries explained the object of their
visit. 'Is not all the religion of white men in a book?' quoth a chief.
'Yes,' replied the missionaries. 'Do not all white men read the book?'
continued the chief. Another affirmative response.<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> 'Do they all agree
upon what it says?' inquired the chief, categorically. There was a dead
silence for some moments. At last one of the missionaries replied; 'Not
exactly; they differ upon some doctrinal points.' 'Go, then, white
man,' said the Chief, 'call a council, and when the white men all
agree, then come and teach the red men.' </span>How the absurdity of
Protestantism is so easily perceived and confounded even by the rude
child of the forest!" Hence it is that the famous convert and American
Reviewer says: "What Protestants call their religion is only a
disguised secularism 'which is amply provided for by the secular press,
the instincts of nature, and the anti-Catholic sentiment of the
country." (Brownson's Review, January, 1873.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
It
is, therefore, quite absurd to speak of Protestantism as of a religion
or Church; and it is scandalously absurd for S. O. to assert that the
Protestant faith in Christ is the same as that of Catholics! The truth
is one; errors are many; the Church, the pillar and ground of truth, is
one; sects are many, that deny the truth and the Church's infallible
authority to teach truth. Every sensible man, then, seeing a class of
men drawn into a whirlpool of endless religious variations and
dissensions, is forced to say: "This is only an ephemeral sect, without
substance and without any divine authority; it is a plant not planted
by the hand of Almighty God, and therefore it will be rooted up; it is
a kingdom divided against itself, and therefore it will be made
desolate; it is a house built on sand, and therefore it cannot stand;
it is a cloud without water, which is carried about by the winds; a
tree of autumn, unfruitful, twice dead, by want of divine faith, and
therefore it will be plucked up by the roots; a raging wave of the sea,
foaming out its own confusion; a wandering star, to which the storm and
darkness are reserved forever; a withered branch cutoff from the body
of Christ, the One, Holy, Roman Catholic Church, which alone is
established by Christ on earth as his "pillar and ground of truth," in
one fold, watched over by his own chief shepherd, ever immovable amid
the storms of hell; with unshaken faith, amid the variations of
philosophical systems, the infernal persecutions of the wicked, the
revolutions of empires, the attacks of interest, of prejudice, of
passion, the dissolving labors of criticism, the progress of physical,
historical, and other sciences, the unrestrained love of novelty, the
abuses which sooner or later undermine the most firmly-established
human institutions. The faith of this Church alone is divine, because
she alone teaches divinely revealed truths with divine authority.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
is clear to every unprejudiced and well-reflecting mind. Mr. T. W. M.
Marshall relates the following, in one of his lectures:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"A
young English lady, with whom I became subsequently acquainted, and
from whose lips I heard the tale, informed her parents that she felt
constrained to embrace the Catholic faith. Hereupon arose much
agitation in the parental councils, and a reluctant promise was
extorted from the daughter that she would not communicate with any
Catholic priest till she had first listened to the convincing arguments
with which certain clerical friends of the family would easily
dissipate her unreasonable doubts. These ministers were three in
number, and we will call them Messrs. A., B., and C. The appointed day
arrived for the solemn discussion, which one of the Ministers was about
to commence, when the young lady opened it abruptly with the following
remark: 'I am too young and uninstructed to dispute with gentlemen of
your age and experience, but perhaps you will allow me to ask you a few
questions?' Anticipating an easy triumph over the poor girl, the three
ministers acceded with encouraging smiles to her request. 'Then I will
ask you,' she said to Mr. A., 'whether regeneration always accompanies
the sacrament of baptism.' ' Undoubtedly,' was the prompt reply; 'that
is the plain doctrine of our Church.' 'And you, Mr. B.,' she continued,
- 'do you teach that doctrine?' 'God forbid, my young friend,' was his
indignant answer, 'that I should teach such soul-destroying error!
Baptism is a formal rite, which,' etc., etc. 'And you, Mr. C.,' she
asked the third, 'what is your opinion?' 'I regret,' he replied with a
bland voice, for he began to suspect they were making a mess of it,
'that my reverend friends should have expressed themselves a little
incautiously. The true doctrine lies between these extremes'—and he was
going to develop it when the young lady, rising from her chair, said:
'I thank you, gentlemen; you have taught me all that I expected to
learn from you. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">You are all ministers of the same Church, yet you each
contradict the other, even upon a doctrine which St. Paul calls one of
the </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">foundations</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> of Christianity. You have only
confirmed me in my resolution to enter a Church whose ministers all
teach the same thing.'</span> And then they went out of the room, one by one,
and probably continued their battle in the street. But the parents of
the young lady turned her out of doors the next day, to get her bread
as she could. They sometimes do that sort of thing in England.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Another
friend of mine, also a lady, and one of the most intelligent of her
sex, was for several years the disciple of the distinguished minister
who has given a name to a certain religious school in England. Becoming
disaffected toward the Episcopalian Church, which appeared to her more
redolent of earth, in proportion as she aspired more ardently toward
heaven, she was persuaded to assist at a certain Ritualistic festival,
which, it was hoped, would have a soothing effect upon her mind. A new
church was to be opened, and the ceremonies were to be prolonged
through an entire week. All the Ritualistic celebrities of the day were
expected to be present. Her lodging was judiciously provided in a house
in which were five of the most transcendental members of the High
Church party. It was hoped that they would speedily convince her of
their apostolic unity, but; unfortunately, they only succeeded in
proving to her that no two of them were of the same mind. One
recommended her privately to pray to the Blessed Virgin, which another
condemned as, at best, a poetical superstition. One told her that the
Pope was, by divine appointment, the head of the Universal Church;
another, that he was a usurper and a schismatic. One maintained that
the 'Reformers' were profane scoundrels and apostates; another, that
they had, at all events, good intentions. But I need not trouble you
with an account of their various creeds. Painfully affected by this
diversity, where she had been taught to expect complete uniformity, her
doubts were naturally confirmed. During the week she was invited to
take a walk with the eminent person whom she had hitherto regarded as a
trustworthy teacher. To him she revealed her growing disquietude, and
presumed to lament the conflict of opinions which she had lately
witnessed, but only to be rewarded by a stern rebuke; for it is a
singular fact that men who are prepared at any moment to judge all the
saints and doctors, will not tolerate any judgment which reflects upon
themselves. It was midwinter, and the lady's companion, pointing to the
leafless trees by the roadside, said, with appropriate solemnity of
voice and manner: 'They are stripped of their foliage now, but wait for
the spring, and you will see them once more wake to life. So shall it
be with the Church of England which now seems to you dead.' 'It may be
be,' she replied; 'but <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">what sort of a spring can we expect </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">after a winter which has lasted three hundred years</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">?
You will not be surprised to hear that this lady soon after became a
member of a Church which knows nothing of winter, but within whose
peaceful borders reigns eternal spring."</span></div>

Alas!
S. O. has not been ashamed to assert that we have misrepresented
Protestant belief, though we have said of it only what St. Thomas

MORE FALSE ORACLES OF S. O.">edit</a>]</span>§ 6. MORE FALSE ORACLES OF S. O.</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It is," he says, "neither true nor honest to say that the Protestant believes <i>as he pleases</i>. The fact is, he believes <i>what he believes his Creator and God wishes him to believe.</i> He is in error as to the divine will. This we know."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
is a down-right falsehood, and a great insult to God. God wishes every
Protestant to believe all that Christ teaches him through his Church,
and he wishes him to believe it with <i>divine</i> faith; and
S. O. avows this truth by saying: "He (the Protestant) is in error as
to the divine will. This we know." Is it not strange how this priest
contradicts himself almost in the same breath!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"But," continues S. O. to say, "he (the Protestant) is guilty because 'he is <i>wrong</i>'
is to say more than God has ever authorized any human being to say."
Well, was not St. Paul a human being? Was he not authorized by the Holy
Ghost to say: "<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">For whosoever have sinned without the law, shall perish
without the law." (Rom. ii. 10.) If those Protestants who live in
inculpable ignorance of the true religion are not guilty of the sin of
heresy, does it follow that they are not guilty of sins against their
conscience?</span> But this needs a good explanation, which we will give later
on; it needs a better one than the most prominent priest of the U. S.
gives by saying: "To think that we Catholics are <i>the only honest people</i> is
to be guilty of the most contemptible kind of pharisaism. The true
Catholic never thinks in that foolish way. He thanks God that he is
right and knows that he is right and prays that all may be led to a
knowledge of the truth. He does not find it in his theology or in his
heart to damn anybody or wish anybody to be damned."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
By <i>honest people</i>,
S. O. here means people that have the true faith; for he says, "He (the
Catholic) thanks God that he is right, and knows that he is right, and
prays that all may be led to a knowledge of the truth." It is therefore
false to say that "To think that we Catholics are the only true
believers, is to be guilty of the most contemptible kind of
pharisaism." The true Catholic is bound in conscience to think in that
way, because he knows that the Catholic religion is the only true
religion. How foolish to say the contrary. But when S. O. says: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">"He (a
Catholic) does not find it in his theology or in his heart to damn
anybody or wish anybody to be damned,"</span> he is right; but in order to be
honest, he should have added, immediately after these words, "nor does
the Rev. M. Muller, C.SS.R., teach anything of the kind in his <i>Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i>.
But a true, educated Catholic does not find in his theology nor in his
heart the great falsehoods which S. O. tells when he solemnly asserts
that "Protestants believe all that the Catholic believes of the facts
of his (Christ's) divine life, miracles, passion, death, and
resurrection."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What
a scandalous assertion this! If it came from the lips of a Protestant,
we would declare it a down-right lie, but coming, as it does, from the
lips of S. O., it is a terrible scandal. Is there any fact of Christ's
divine life more evident than the establishment of his - the Roman
Catholic Church? Do Protestants believe this divine fact?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Reason,
it is true," says the Roman Catechism, "and the senses, are compelled
to ascertain the existence of the Church, that is, of a society of men
devoted and consecrated to Jesus Christ; no faith is necessary to
understand a truth which is acknowledged by Jews and Turks; but do
Protestants believe the privileges and dignity of the Church as
Catholics believe them? By no means, because they have not the light of
faith, which alone enables us to say I <i>believe</i> the <i>Catholic Church.</i>"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Again,
has not God ordained from the beginning of the world that men should
give him the honor of adoration by offering sacrifice to him. Has this
law ever been abolished by God, in the Old Testament, or by Jesus
Christ in the New Law? Has he not, on the contrary, confirmed this law
by the institution of the unbloody sacrifice of his Body and Blood in
Holy Mass, which is to be offered up to the end of the world? And has
not Jesus Christ, for this purpose, established a new order of
priesthood at the Last Supper? Are not the seven sacraments, the
visible means of grace, so many facts of Christ's divine life? Do
Protestants believe all these and many other facts of Christ's divine
life? Ah! that most prominent priest of the U. S. knows only too well
that Protestants do not believe these facts. How can he then so
impudently tell such a lie to the readers of the <i>B U.</i>,
aye, to all Catholics, whose faith in these facts, he says, is also
that of Protestants? Do Catholics deny these facts? In the very instant
that a Catholic would deny any of these facts, he would be a
Protestant, a heretic, and cut off as a rotten member of the Church of
Jesus Christ.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The above assertion of S. O. is a true insult to the Catholic faith, which is an <i>absolute</i>, <i>divine</i>,
faith, a gratuitous gift of the Holy Ghost, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">while Protestant belief is
all human, only an opinion alterable at pleasure, without foundation;
it reminds one of the Brahmin's theory of the support of the earth.</span> The
Hindoo says: " The world rests on the back of an elephant, the elephant
rests on the back of a turtle." But what does the turtle rest on? So it
is with the <i>Protestant Brahmins</i>. They will tell you,
with all the coolness of Hindoo hypocrisy and pretension, that religion
depends on the written word of God, and they make the word of God
depend on private interpretation; but they do not say what the "turtle"
stands on. This is the dilemma in which all are caught who rest
religion on a human or an atheistical basis. They cut religion loose
from its assigned divine Teacher - the Roman Catholic Church, and set
it a-going on human authority. But the trouble is, they have no support
for this "turtle."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
For the benefit of S. O. we repeat here the words of Dr. O. A. Brownson.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"That
Protestants, that so-called orthodox Protestants at least, profess to
hold, and claim as belonging to their Protestantism, many things that
are also held by Catholics, nobody denies; but these things are no part
of Protestantism, for the Church held and taught them ages before
Protestantism was born. They are part and parcel of the one Catholic
faith, and belong to Catholics only. Protestants can rightfully claim
as Protestant only those things wherein they differ from the Church,
which the Church denies, and which they assert; that is, what is
peculiarly or distinctively Protestant. We cannot allow them to claim
as theirs what is and always has been ours; we willingly accord them
their own, but not one whit more. All which they profess to hold in
common with us is ours, not theirs. Adopting this rule, which is just
and unimpeachable, nothing in fact is theirs but their denials, and as
all their denials are, as we have seen, made on no Catholic principle
or truth, they are pure negations, and hence Protestantism is purely
negative, and consequently is no religion, for all religion is
affirmative."</div>

Softly,
softly, S.O. When we gave the above answer, we also gave the proofs for
it. But you and Coxe have dishonestly suppressed these proofs, in order
to be able to call our answer <i>rant and abuse</i>, and to
say that it is too absurd to deserve a moment's consideration. A man
like you, who sees no difference between divine and human faith, will
answer as you do. Do you, then, mean to say that, when St. John, the
Apostle and Evangelist, wrote, "<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">He that believeth not the Son (Jesus
Christ), maketh him a liar</span>" (I. John, v., 10.), the Holy Ghost told
through him <i>rant and abuse</i>, and that these words of the Holy Ghost are too absurd to deserve a moment's consideration?</div>

"Not
to believe all that Christ has said," says Cornelius a Lapide, "is as

Christ says: "I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, and
shall marry another, committeth adultery; and he that shall marry her

Luther and all Protestants, to a married man, "you may put away your

A
Calvinist nobleman was once disputing about the real presence with the
father of St. Jane Frances de Chantal. Frances was at that time only
five years of age. Whilst the dispute was going on she advanced and
said to the nobleman: "What, sir! do you not believe that Jesus Christ
is really present in the Blessed Sacrament, and yet he has told us that <i>he is present</i>?
You then make him a liar. If you dared attack the honor of the king, my
father would defend it at the risk of his life, and even at the cost of
yours; what have you then to expect from God for calling his Son a
liar?" The Calvinist was greatly surprised at the child's zeal, and
endeavored to appease his young adversary with presents; but full of
love for her holy faith, she <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">took his gifts and threw them into the
fire, saying "Thus shall all those burn in hell who do not believe the

S.
O. says that Protestants believe that Christ is "true God" and true
Man. If they believe that he is true God, why is it that they do not
believe all his words and all that he has done for our salvation? Why
is it that they do not honor him as God, but refuse to believe his
whole doctrine? How have they treated Jesus Christ in the Blessed
Sacrament? It is too horrible to relate. Can it be expected that those
who so terribly have dishonored Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament
will, as they should, honor, and treat, and believe Jesus Christ in
heaven? How have they honored Him in those who take his place on earth,
of whom Christ says: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">"He who heareth you, heareth me; and he who
despiseth you, despiseth me, and he who despiseth me, despiseth Him
(God the Father) who sent me." (Luke, x. 16)</span> Glance again over chapter
III., and you will find how Jesus Christ has been treated by
Protestants in the Pope, the bishops, and the priests of the Roman
Catholic Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
establish the sacrilegious doctrine of his primacy over the English
Church, Henry VIII. Had put to death two cardinals, three archbishops,
eighteen bishops and archdeacons, five hundred priests, sixty superiors
of religious houses, fifty canons, twenty-nine peers, three hundred and
sixty knights, and an immense number both of the gentry and people. He
confiscated to the crown, and distributed among his favorites, the
property of six hundred and forty-five monasteries and ninety colleges,
one hundred and ten hospitals, and two thousand three hundred and
seventy-four free chapels and chantries.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">

For
over three hundred years the Irish people have suffered, struggled, and
died for the faith. They suffered poverty with all its bitterness, they
endured exile with all its sorrows, they suffered outrage and even
death itself, rather than lose their God. The minions of hell enacted
the fiendish penal laws, and soon that country, so rich and fruitful in
colleges and convents, became one vast, dreary wilderness. In tracts of
country, thirty, forty, fifty miles in extent, the smoke from an
inhabited house, as English chroniclers themselves declare, was nowhere
to be seen. The people had disappeared and left only skeletons in the
land. The living were to be met only in glens and dark caves and
mountains. There they dragged out a wretched existence, feeding on the
weeds and garbage of the earth. Like shadows they moved about, haggard
and wan, starving and wounded, and they endured the cruel pangs of
hunger, till God, in his mercy, took them to a better world. Again and
again were these harrowing scenes repeated. Ireland became prosperous
again in spite of the most galling oppression; and the people of
Ireland were again starved and massacred for their faith, and those
that survived were shipped off to the British West Indies, and sold
there as slaves. The British fleet was ordered around the coast. Over
eighty thousand of the most influential and most distinguished of the
Irish Catholics were packed on board, and their bones have long since
rotted in the soil of the English sugar-plantations of Jamaica.</div>

The
last effort of tyranny is still fresh in the minds of many—I mean the
late famine years. There are, no doubt, some of our readers who have
witnessed the appalling scenes of that gloomy period, and once
witnessed, they can never, never be forgotten. Ah! No. Like living
fire, these horrid scenes burn into the memory, and leave their a
horrid scar—a mark that can never be effaced. There were thousands and
thousands wasting away and dying of hunger. They were falling and dying
as the leaves fall in autumn. The food that was sent to the poor people
from America was kept in harbors till it rotted. And there, in the
sight of the famishing people, the wealthy Protestant, the overfed
wives and daughters of the sleek, oily <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Protestant parsons, had plenty
of food for their cattle; they had food in abundance for their pet
birds or their lapdogs, whilst the poor starving Catholics wished to
even eat the husks of the swine, and it was not given them.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
few years before the gloomy reign of terror, there lived near a certain
town in Ireland a poor, honest farmer with his wife and children. They
were poor, indeed, but yet they were contented and happy. Never did the
poor or the stranger pass their door without partaking of their
hospitality; and what they had, they gave with a willing heart. But the
famine year came on. The good farmer was unable to pay the tithes. His
little property was distrained. The police entered his farm; they
seized his unreaped corn; they took away his crops; they drove his
cattle to the pound. The poor unhappy man himself was expelled from
that little spot of earth on which he was born, where he had lived so
long, and where he had hoped to die. He was turned into the public road
with his wife and children. No roof, no food, no clothing - he was
cast, in beggary and nakedness, into the cold, heartless world. He
sought for a shelter for his little ones. He sought for employment, but
could find none. He was Catholic. His neighbors around were bitter
Protestants of the blackest dye. They offered him shelter, food, and
clothing, but on on condition—that he would apostatize.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
O
God! who shall tell the agony of that poor, heart-broken father? No
hope to sheer him save the hope of death; no eye to pity him save the
all-merciful eye of God! He saw his poor wife dying before his eyes. He
saw her wasting day by day - slowly pining away while praying and
weeping over her starving children; he heard his famished children
crying for food, and, their piteous cries rent his very soul. Oh! he
could help them, he could provide them food, clothing, and a pleasant
home - but then he must apostatize, he must renounce his holy faith!
Oh! what a sore trial, what a cruel martyrdom! His loving wife died
before his eyes - died of hunger. She died with words of patience,
words of hope upon her lips. The poor husband wrung his hands in
anguish. He bent over the lifeless form of his wife. Dark night was
thickening around him - thickening even within him; he felt the cruel
pangs of hunger gnawing at his very vitals. And were he not upheld by
his holy faith, he would have yielded to despair. But the cries of his
children aroused him. He forgot for a moment his own sufferings. He
took his two weak, starving babes in his trembling arms, and hurried
away with tottering steps. He begged from house to house, from door to
door; he begged for a crumb of bread for his poor, starving little
ones, but no one gave him a morsel of food. They offered him food, and
clothing, and shelter if he would only apostatize, if he would give his
children to be brought up in their false creed: "But," cried the
heart-broken father, "oh! <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">how could I give my children to be brought up
in the false creed and deny their holy faith? Oh! how could I sell
their souls to the Evil One for a mess of pottage?</span>" After some time the
unhappy man felt a heavy load weighing like lead upon his trembling
arm. He looked. One of his poor babes had ceased moaning. It was dead -
cold and stiff in death. The heart-broken father sat down beneath a
tree by the wayside and prayed, but he could not weep. Ah! no; his eyes
were dry, his heart was withered. In wild, passionate tones he called
on heaven to witness his agony - he called God to witness that he did
not wish the death of his children, that he would gladly lay down his
life to save his family, but he could not - oh! no! no! - he could not
deny his holy faith; he could not sell their souls to the devil. He
tried once more to obtain some food for his remaining child, but in
vain, and at last the poor innocent sufferer gasped and died too in his
arms. Ah! whose heart can remain unmoved at the sufferings of the Irish
Catholic? Whose heart, at the same time, does not rejoice at their
constancy in the faith.</div>

Our
Lord Jesus Christ, when hanging on the cross, excused those who had
crucified him. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."
(Luke xxiii. 34.) They did not know that Christ was their God. "For,"
says St. Paul, "if they had known it, they would never have crucified
the Lord of Glory." (I. Cor. ii. 8.) But the most prominent priest of
the U. S, solemnly assures us that Protestants believe in the divinity
of Christ. How, then, is such faith compatible with such treatment of
Christ? Alas! we repeat, what a shame for S. O. to tell Catholics and
Protestants that their faith in Christ is all the same!</div>

He continues to quote part of our Answer: —"Whose (Christ's) doctrines they can interpret <i>as they please.</i>"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"This again is false," he says; "Protestants do not believe they can interpret the doctrines of Christ <i>as they please</i>, and anyone who asserts it misrepresents Protestant teaching."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Before
our would-be theologian said that our answer was false, he should have
shown that Protestants have a rule and an infallible authority by which
they must go in interpreting Christ's doctrines, and that they never
interpreted Christ's doctrines as they pleased. But he knows he cannot
furnish any proofs for the truth of his assertions.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Whence,
then, we ask, has Protestantism and all other isms risen? Is it not
from the private interpretation of Holy Scripture, and Christ's
doctrines? Has not Protestantism introduced the principle that <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">"there
is no divinely-appointed authority to teach infallibly; let every man
read the Bible and judge for himself"</span>? Is not this a historical fact?
Monseigneur de Cheverus, in his sermons, often dwelt on the necessity
of a divine teaching authority, to render unwavering the faith of the
unlearned as well as of the ignorant. To convince Protestants of this
necessity, he often repeated, in his discourses to them, these simple
words:<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> "Every day, my dear brethren, I read the holy Scripture like
yourselves; I read it with reflection and prayer, having previously
invoked the Holy Ghost, and yet, at almost every page, I find many
things that I cannot understand, and I find the great necessity of some
speaking authority, which may point out to me the meaning of the text,
and render my faith firm."</span> And his hearers immediately made the
application to themselves. "If Monseigneur de Cheverus," said they,
"who is more learned than we cannot comprehend the Sacred Scripture,
how is it that our ministers tell us that the Bible is to each of us a
full and clear rule of faith, easily understood of itself, and
requiring no aid in understanding its meaning?"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From
the time of the apostles to the present day, there have risen unlearned
men, as well as men accomplished in every kind of learning, who
undertook to interpret the Bible according to their own private
opinions. The consequence was, that the ignorant were led into errors
for want of knowledge, and the learned, through pride and
self-sufficiency. Instead of interpreting Scripture according to the
teaching of the Church, and learning from her what they should believe,
they have tried to teach the Church false and perverse doctrines of
their own. They avail themselves of the Scriptures to prove their
errors. They say that they have the Scriptures on their side, which are
the fountain of truth. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">But those deluded men do not consider that the
truth is found, not by reading, but by understanding the holy
Scriptures. This arrogance in interpreting the Bible according to their
fancy proceeds from pride.</span> But God resists the proud, and withholds
from them the light of faith. In punishment for their pride and want of
submission to the teaching of his Church, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">he permits such men to fall
into all kinds of errors, absurdities, and vices; he permits the Holy
Scriptures, which are a great fountain of truth, to become to them a
great fountain of errors, so that to them may be applied the words of
our divine Saviour, "You err, not knowing the Scriptures;" (Matt. Xxii.
29.) and of St. Peter, "They wrest the Scriptures to their own
destruction." (II. Pet. iii. 16.)</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Adamites pretended to find in the Book of Genesis that they were as
pure as our first parents, and need not be ashamed of being naked any
more than Adam and Eve before the fall. Arius pretended to find, in
forty-two passages of the Bible, that the Son of God was not equal to
the Father. Macedonius maintained that from holy Scripture he could
prove that the Holy Ghost was not God; and Pelagius asserted, on the
authority of holy Scripture, that man could work out his salvation
without the grace of God. Luther asserted that he found in Isaias that
man was not free; and Calvin tried to prove from Scripture that it is
impossible for man to keep the commandments. There is no error so
monstrous, no crime so heinous, no practice so detestable, which
perverse men have not endeavored to justify by some passage of
Scripture. St. Augustine asks, "Whence have risen heresies and those
pernicious errors that lead men to everlasting perdition?" and he
answers:<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> "They have risen from this: that men understand the Scriptures
wrongly, and then maintain presumptuously and boldly what they thus
understand wrongly."</span> (In Joan. tr. xviii.) Thus, "the Gospel," as St.
Jerome observes, "is, for them, not the Gospel Christ any longer, but
the Gospel of man, or of the devil: for the Gospel consists, not in the
words, but in the <i>sense</i>, of Scripture, wherefore, by
false interpretation, the Gospel of Christ becomes the gospel of man,
or of the devil." "My thoughts, saith the Lord, are not as your
thoughts, neither are your ways my ways; for, as the heavens are
exalted above the earth, even so are my ways exalted above your ways,
and my thoughts above your thoughts." (Isa. l. 8, 9.) Who, then, shall
by his <i>private reason</i>, pretend to know, to judge, to
demonstrate, to interpret, the unsearchable ways of God and the
incomprehensible, divine mysteries hidden in the Holy Scripture? "How
can I understand it, if no one explains it to me?" (Acts, viii.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
sum up what has been said: In the order of time, the Catholic Church
precedes the Scripture. There was no time when a visible and speaking
divine authority did not exist, to which submission was not due. Before
the coming of Jesus Christ, that authority among the Jews was in the
synagogue. When the synagogue was on the point of failing, Jesus Christ
himself appeared; when this divine personage withdrew, he left his
authority to his Church, and with her his Holy Spirit. All the truths
which we believe to be divine, and which are the objects of our faith,
were taught by the Church, and believed by millions of Christians, long
before they were committed to writing, and formed what is called the
New Testament. And those truths would have remained to the end of the
world, pure and unaltered, had that primitive state continued; that is,
had it never seemed good to any of the apostolic men, as it did to St.
Luke, to commit to writing what they had learned from Christ. He did
it, he says, that Theophilus, to whom he writes, might <i>know the verity of these words in which he had been instructed.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">A
Catholic, therefore, never forms his faith by reading the Scriptures;
his faith is already formed before he begins to read; his reading
serves only to confirm what he always believed; that is, it confirms
the doctrine which the Church had already taught him.</span> Consequently, if
these books had not existed, the belief in the facts and truths of
Christianity would have been the same; and it would not be weakened if
those books were no longer to exist.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
the Catholic Church made known to the Christians those facts and truths
long before they were recorded in writing, she alone could afterward
rightly decide, and infallibly state, what books did, and what did not,
contain the pure doctrine of Christ and his apostles; she alone could
and did know what books were, and what were not, divinely inspired; she
alone could and did make that inspiration an object of faith; she alone
can, with infallible authority, give the true meaning, and determine
the legitimate use of the Holy Scriptures. Although the Scripture, the
true word of God, is not to us a <i>rule of faith</i>, taken <i>independently</i> of
the teaching authority of the pastors of the Church, the successors of
the apostles, yet it is not inferior to the Church in excellence and
dignity. It is inspired, holy, and divine. Hence, it is the custom of
the Church to erect a throne in the middle of councils, on which she
places the Sacred Books as presiding over the assembly, occupying, as
it were, the first place, and deciding with supreme authority. When
celebrating Mass, she wishes that the faithful, during the reading of
the Gospel, should all rise, and remain standing, to show their
reverence for the sacred truths. We venerate the Scriptures as a sacred <i>deposit</i> bequeathed
to us by the kindest of parents, containing truths of the highest
moment, practical lessons of saving morality, and facts of history
relating to the life of our divine Saviour, and the conduct of his
disciples, eminently interesting and instructive. For all this we are
very grateful.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Besides,
the Scriptures come forward with a powerful aid, to support, by the
evidence of the contents, both the divine authority of the Church, and
the divine truths of the faith which we have received from her,
applying that aid to each article, and giving a lustre to the whole. So
Theophilus, when he read that admirable narration which St. Luke
compiled for him, was more and more confirmed in the verity of things
in which he had been instructed. (St. Luke, i. 1-4)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
For
those, however, who reject the divine authority of the Church, the holy
Scriptures can no longer be authentic and inspired writings— they are
for them no longer the word of God; for they have no one who can tell
them, with divine certainty, what books are, and what are not, divinely
inspired; they have no one who, in the name of God, can command them to
believe in the divine inspiration of the writers of those books.
Explaining them, as they do, according to their fancy, and translating
them in a way favorable to their errors, they have, in the Scriptures,
not the Gospel of Christ, but that of man or the devil, calculated only
to confirm the ignorant in their errors, and the learned in their pride
and self-sufficiency. We read, in the Gospel of St. Matthew and of St.
Luke, that <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">Satan hid himself under the shade of the Scripture when he
tempted our divine Saviour. He quoted passages from holy Scripture, in
order to tempt him to ambition and presumption.</span> But he is answered:
"Begone, Satan; it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
Satan, being overcome, <i>left for a time</i>. But not long
after, under the mask of Arius, Nestorius, Pelagius, Luther, Calvin,
John Knox, Henry VIII., and a host of other heresiarchs, he renewed his
attacks on Jesus Christ, in the person of the Catholic Church. This
demon is heresy, which hides itself under the shade of Scripture. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Were
Satan to utter blasphemies, he would be known at once, and men would
flee from him in horror. So he deceives them under the appearance of
good; he repeats passages from holy Scripture, and men naturally listen
to him, and are apt to believe and follow him. But the good Catholic
answers him: "Begone, Satan! It is written, he that will not hear the
Church, let him be to thee as a heathen and the publican." (Matt.
xviii. 16.) </span>This is the great, the infallible, and the only rule of
faith, that leads to him who gave it,—Jesus Christ.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
heretics and Catholics to whom St. Dominic preached the Gospel put
together in writing the strongest arguments in defense of their
respective doctrines. The Catholic arguments were the work of St.
Dominic, who confirmed the Catholic doctrine by many passages of Holy
Scripture. The heretics, too, quoted Holy Scripture in confirmation of
their doctrine. It was proposed that both writings should be committed
to the flames, in order that God might declare, by his own
interposition, which cause he favored. Accordingly, a great fire was
made; and the two writings were cast into it: that of the heretics was
immediately consumed to ashes, whilst that of the Catholic remained
unhurt, after it had been cast into the fire three times, and taken out
again.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
public miracle happened at Fanjaux; <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">the fruit of it was the conversion
of a great number of heretics of both sexes.</span> The same kind of miracle
happened at Montreal. St. Dominic drew up in writing a short exposition
of the Catholic faith, with proof of each article from the New
Testament. This writing he gave to the heretics to examine. Their
ministers and chiefs, after much altercation about it, agreed to throw
it into the fire, saying that, if it burned, they would regard the
doctrine which it contained as false. Being cast thrice into the
flames, it was not damaged.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Let
us unceasingly thank Almighty God for the grace of being children of
the Catholic Church. St. Francis de Sales exclaims: "O dear Lord! many
and great are the blessings thou hast heaped on me, and I thank thee
for them. But <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">how shall I ever be able to thank thee for enlightening
me with thy holy faith? O God! The beauty of they holy faith appears to
me so enchanting, that I am dying with love of it</span>; and I imagine I
ought to enshrine this precious gift in a heart all perfumed with
devotion." St. Teresa never ceased to thank God for having made her a
daughter of the holy Catholic Church. Her consolation at the hour of
death was to cry out: "I die a child of the holy Church, I die a child
of the holy Church."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
All
this being undeniably true, by what right, then, does S. O. call false
what is a well known fact and an undeniable truth? And does not he
himself say: "The Protestant doctrine of the rule of faith, - each
one's private interpretation of the written word of God, - is
unquestionably erroneous"? Does he not give himself the lie in these
words? Can he understand anything else by private interpretation than
the Catholic Church understands by it? He tries to make believe that no
sensible Protestant believes he can interpret Holy Scripture as he
pleases, just as little as he believes <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">a private citizen has a right to
interpret the laws of the State as he pleases; that he has to go by the
decisions of the Supreme Court. </span>Of course, every Protestant understands
that he must go by the decisions of the Supreme Court. But does it
follow therefrom that Protestants do not interpret the Bible as they
please? What poor logic is this?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From
the fact that no Protestant as a private citizen has a right to
interpret the laws of the State, but must follow the decision of the
Supreme Court, Protestants should, of course, understand that Almighty
God did not leave his laws and written word to be interpreted by
private individuals, but by the Roman Catholic Church, the supreme
authority appointed by Jesus Christ to teach all men infallibly his
doctrine, and interpret infallibly the written and unwritten word of
God. But Protestants have rejected this divine teaching authority, and
interpret the Bible by private interpretation. S. O. avows this to be
wrong, but excuses Protestants for doing what is wrong, because "what
seems so clear to us is not so clear to others who exist in a condition
so different from ours that they cannot see things as we see them." Why
can they not? It is because they have no divine faith, and have
rejected Christ and his teaching when they rejected the divine teacher
- the Roman Catholic Church; and therefore we conclude again, that no
one can be saved in such a faith.</div>

not an inch of ground to stand on; and has blown their church
pretensions to the winds. As for Low-Churchmen, or the Evangelicals -

Presbyterians, Dutch Reformed, Congregationalists, and Methodists, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">who

Indeed,
is not a caricature of a man left, after his arms, feet and head have
been cut off? Would you not have a caricature of a Christ, if you were
to deny either his divinity, or his humanity, or his human soul and
will? Would you not have a caricature of baptism, if you baptized with
wine, or in only the name of the Father, or only in the name of the
Son, or only in the name of the Holy Ghost? Well, has not Protestantism
lopped off the head off Christ's body, which is the Catholic Church?
Has it not lopped off the Body and Blood of Christ in the Holy
Eucharist?; the divine Christian sacrifice offered in the Mass;
confession of sins, most of the sacraments; the invocation of saints?
Has it not tried to annihilate, if possible, the Head and Body of
Christ—the Catholic Church, etc.? What has Protestantism left of Christ
and his doctrine, except a caricature of Christ and a caricature of his
religion? Hence St. Thomas says: "True faith is absolute faith in
Christ and all his doctrine. Pagans and Jews, in publicly denying his
divinity, are real infidels; but the heretic adopts or rejects the
precepts of the Gospel according to his own private judgment, with full
liberty of conscience. <i>So this kind of doctrine</i>, founded on private judgment, fantasy, and interest of individuals, <i>is but a hideous carcass, a frightful skeleton of religion,</i> and
is no more the doctrine of Jesus Christ and his Church than that of
Jews, Pagans, or Turks." (Rev. E. O' Donnell's Comp. Theo. S. Thomas,
vol. 2. chapt. iii.) O great St. Thomas, and Angelic Doctor of the
Church! Had S. O. lived at the time when you published those words, he
would have called them <i>wholly untrue, beginning, middle, and end.</i> He
would never have forgiven you for calling Protestant doctrine a hideous
carcass, a frightful skeleton of religion, and for saying that it is no
more the doctrine of Christ and his Church than that of Jews, Pagans,
or Turks. In the days of St. Thomas Aquinas it would also have been
very difficult to find an editor of a newspaper who, like the Rev.
Father Cronin, would have cheerfully endorsed the doctrine of S. O.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Alas!
he cannot see the difference between divine and human faith--between
the faith of Catholics and that of Protestants, how could he see and
understand the consequences of Protestant belief? He never learned
logic enough to draw right conclusions from right premises. Not being
able to see that our answer is a very natural conclusion from its
premises—the belief of Protestants in Christ, he impudently calls it <i>wholly</i> untrue,
beginning, middle, and end. How far the beginning of the answer goes,
where the middle of it begins, and how far it goes, and where the end
of it begins, he does not tell, nor does he give the least reason why
the beginning of the answer is wholly untrue, nor does he prove that
the middle and end of it are false. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">All proud ignorant men give such
answers, when they are unable to give a better one.</span> It is an answer
that a Protestant preacher may give, but is not expected from S. O. If
this is not for him the way to tell the truth, and shame the devil, it
is most assuredly the best way to shame himself.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
we have explained to him the premises of our answer, we must now also
make clear to him the conclusion-- the answer drawn from its premises.
He says quite correctly that "the personality of the author (Rev. M.
Muller, C. SS. R.) sets up as the Christ of Protestants is a <i>caricature</i> which
the author should not have associated with the Holy Name" Well, is
there any worse caricature of Christ than the personality of
Antichrist, as described in Holy Scripture? And yet, how often does not
Holy Scripture associate this caricature of Christ with the Holy Name
when speaking of the true Christ? But be it remembered that, as the
apostasy of the Gentiles from the Patriarchal faith brought forth the
worst caricatures of the true God, - idols and idol-worship, so, in
like manner, the apostasy of Protestants from the true Catholic faith
in Christ will finally bring forth the worst caricature of the true
Christ - the personality of Antichrist.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
body which has lost the principle of its animation becomes dust. Hence
it is an axiom that the change or perversion of the principles by which
anything is produced is the destruction of that very thing. If you can
change or pervert the principles from which anything springs, you
destroy it. For instance, one single foreign element introduced into
the blood produces death; one false assumption admitted into science
destroys its certainty; one false principle admitted into faith and
morals is fatal. The so-called Reformers started wrong. They would
reform the Church by placing her under human control. Their successors
have, in each generation, found they did not go far enough, and have,
each in turn, struggled to push it further and further, till they find
themselves without any Church life, without faith, without religion,
and beginning to doubt if there be a God. It is a well-known fact that,
before the so-called Reformation, infidels were scarcely known in the
Christian world. Since that event they have come forth in swarms. It is
therefore historically correct that the same principle that created
Protestantism three centuries ago has never ceased, since that time, to
spin it out into a thousand different sects, and has concluded by
covering Europe and America with that multitude of free-thinkers and
infidels who place countries on the verge of ruin.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
individual reason taking, as it does, the place of faith, the true
Protestant, whether he believes it or not, is an infidel in germ, and
an infidel is a Protestant in full bloom. In other words, infidelity is
nothing but Protestantism in the highest degree. Hence it is that Edgar
Quinet, a great herald of Protestantism, is right in styling the
Protestant sects <i>the thousand gates open to get out of Christianity.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No
wonder, then, that thousands of Protestants have ended and continue to
end in framing their own formula thus: "I believe in nothing." And here
I ask, what is easier, from this state of religion and infidelity, than
the passage to idolatry?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
assertion may seem incredible to some at this day, and may be
considered an absurdity; but idolatry is expressly mentioned in the
Apocalypse as existing in the time of Antichrist. And, indeed, our
surprise will much abate, if we take into consideration the temper and
disposition of the present times. When men divest themselves, as they
seem to do at present, of all fear of the Supreme Being, of all respect
of their Creator and Lord; when they surrender themselves to the
gratification of sensuality; when they give full freedom to the human
passions, and direct their whole study to the pursuits of a corrupt
world, with a total forgetfulness of a future state; when they give
children a godless education, and have no longer any religion to teach
them, may we not say that the transition to idolatry is easy? When all
the steps to a certain point are taken, what wonder if we arrive at
that point? Such was the gradual degeneracy of mankind in the early
ages of the world, that brought on the abominable practices of
idol-worship.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Of
course, it will be said that we have the happiness of living in the
most enlightened of all ages; our knowledge is more perfect, our ideas
more developed and refined, the human faculties more improved and
better cultivated, than they ever were before; in fine, that the
present race of mankind may be reckoned a society of philosophers, when
compared to the generations that have gone before. How is it possible,
then, that such stupidity can seize upon the human mind as to sink it
into idolatry?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
kind of reasoning is more specious than solid. For, allowing the
present times to surpass the past in refinement and knowledge, it must
be said that they are proportionately more vicious. Refinement of
reason has contributed, as every one knows, to refine upon the means of
gratifying the human passions.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Besides,
however enlightened the mind may be supposed to be, if the heart is
corrupt, the excesses into which a man will run are evidenced by daily
experience.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Witness
our modern spiritism (spiritualism). What else is our modern
spiritualism than a revival of the old heathen idol-worship?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Satan
is constantly engaged in doing all in his power to entice men away from
God, and to have himself worshipped instead of the Creator. The
introduction, establishment, persistence, and power of the various
cruel, revolting superstitions of the ancient heathen world, or of
pagan nations in modern times, are nothing but the work of the devil.
They reveal a more than human power. God permitted Satan to operate
upon man's morbid nature, as a deserved punishment upon the Gentiles
for their hatred of truth and their apostasy from the primitive
religion. Men left to themselves, to human nature alone, however low
they might be prone to descend, never could descend so low as to
worship wood and stone, four-footed beasts, and creeping things. To do
this needs satanic delusion.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Paganism
in its old form was doomed. Christianity had silenced the oracles and
driven the devils back to hell. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">How was the devil to re-establish his
worship on earth, and carry on his war against the Son of God and the
religion which he taught us? Evidently only by changing his tactics and
turning the truth into a lie. </span>He found men in all the heresiarchs who,
like Eve, gave ear to his suggestions, and believed him more than the
Infallible Word of Jesus Christ. Thus he has succeeded in banishing the
true religion from whole countries, or in mixing it with false
doctrines. He has prevailed upon thousands to believe the doctrines of
vain, self-conceited men, rather than the religion taught by Jesus
Christ and his Apostles. It is by heresies, revolutions, bad secret
societies, and godless State school education, that he has succeeded so
far as to bring thousands of men back to a state of heathenism and
infidelity. The time has come for him to introduce idolatry, or his own
worship. To do this he makes use of spiritualism. Through the
spirit-mediums he performs lying wonders. He gives pretended
revelations from the spirit-world, in order to destroy or weaken all
faith in divine revelation. He thus strives to re-establish in
Christian lands that very same devil-worship which has so long existed
among heathen nations, and which our Lord Jesus Christ came to
destroy. The Holy Scriptures assure us that all the gods of the
heathens are devils ("<i>Omnes dii gentium doemonia.</i>"
--Ps.) These demons took possession of the idols made of wood or stone,
of gold or silver; they had temples erected in their honor; they had
their sacrifices, their priests, and their priestesses. They uttered
oracles. They were consulted through their mediums in all affairs of
importance, and especially in order to find out the future, precisely
as they are consulted by our modern spiritualists at the present day.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
modern spiritualism the devil communicates with men by means of tables,
chairs, tablets, or planchette; or by rapping, writing, seeing and
speaking mediums. It is all the same to the devil, whether he
communicates with men and leads them astray by means of idols, or by
means of tables, chairs, planchette, and the like.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Assuredly,
if the philosopher is not governed by the power of religion, his
conduct will be absurd and even despicable to the most ignorant
individual of the lowest rank.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Socrates,
Cicero, Seneca, are said to have been acquainted with the knowledge of
one Supreme God; but they had not courage to profess his worship, and
in their public conduct basely sacrificed to stocks and stones with the
vulgar. </span>When men have banished from their heart the sense of religion,
and despise the rights of justice, (and is this not the case with
numbers?) will many of them scruple to offer incense to a statue, if by
so doing they serve their ambition, their interest, or whatever may be
their favorite passion? Where is the cause for surprise, then, if
infidelity and irreligion be succeeded by idolatry? That pride alone,
when inflamed, when inflamed with a constant flow of prosperity, may
raise a man to the extravagant presumption of claiming for himself
divine honors, we see in the example of Alexander, the celebrated
Macedonian conqueror, and of several emperors of Babylon and ancient
Rome. From suggestions of that same principle of pride, it will happen
that Antichrist, elevated by a continued course of victories and
conquests, will set himself up for a god. And as at that time the
propagation of infidelity, irreligion, and immorality will have become
universal, this defection from faith, disregard for its teachers,
licentiousness in opinions, depravity in morals, will so far deaden all
influence of religion, and cause such degeneracy in mankind, that many
will be base enough even espouse idolatry, to yield to the absurd
impiety of worshipping the worst caricature of Christ, Antichrist, as
their Lord and some out of fear for what they may lose, others to gain
what they covet.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Then
will it be evident to all that infidelity, and even idolatry, existed
in the Protestant principle of private judgment, as the oak exists in
the acorn, as the consequence is in the premise; or, in other words,
that this principle was but a powerful weapon of Satan to carry on his
war against Christ; of the sons of Belial to fight the keepers of the
law; of false anti-social liberty to destroy true and rational liberty
- to make worshippers of the devil out of the worshippers of God.</div>

10. S. O. AVOWS THAT OUR CONCLUSION IS CORRECT, BUT TELLS MORE D—D
LIES.[Preaching EENS to non-Catholics is not wanting them to be damned]</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
S. O. continues to quote from our Explanation of Christian Doctrine and to comment on it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"<i>Q.</i> Will such a faith in such a Christ save Protestants? <i>Ans.</i> No sensible man will assert such an absurdity."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
answer is correct, for such a faith in such a Christ would bring about
such a salvation as every sensible man would be perfectly willing to
resign to such an author."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We have shown in our <i>Explanation</i> that
the Roman Catholic Church only is the true Church of Jesus Christ;
—that Christ's doctrine is to be found only in this true Church; that
only the members of this Church have <i>absolute divine</i> faith
in Christ and in all that he has done for salvation; that only in this
divine faith salvation is possible, because it is the foundation of
justification; we have shown that Protestants have rejected all <i>divine</i> faith
in Jesus Christ and in his doctrine; that, by rejecting Christ's
Church, they have rejected Christ himself and his doctrine, and that
therefore, we say, it is an absurdity for people to believe that they
can be saved in their faith, which is but a human invention which has
led and still leads to the kinds of abominations. But as S. O. seems to
have so much faith and confidence in the faith of Protestants in
Christ, all Catholics are perfectly willing not to disturb him in his
honest belief and in his invincible ignorance. But at the same time we
protest against the lies he tells in his continuation of the above
answer, namely:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is strange how some pious and good people consider it their religious
duty and pleasure to see to it that their dissenting neighbors are
properly and comfortably damned. They remind one of certain persons
immortalized in Hudibras, who:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
'Compound for sins they are inclined to BY damning those they have no mind to,'</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
or words to that effect."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Here
S. O. most impudently asserts that some pious and good people
(Catholics, especially the Rev. M. Muller, C. S. S. R., the author of <i>Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i>) consider it<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> their </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">religious duty and pleasure!</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> to see to it that their dissenting neighbors are properly and comfortably—damned !</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Did
ever a more infamous calumny come from the lips of a heretic against
Catholics! Alas! the Rev. Editor of the B. C. U. and T. solemnly
assures us that the above words come neither from a Jew nor from a
heretic; he solemnly assures us that they were written by the most
prominent priest in the U. S. , and he has cheerfully endorsed them and
had them printed for the benefit of the readers of the C. U. and T.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
See,
how, in plain words, S. O. gives himself the lie in palpable and
shameful manner by quoting from our Explanation the following answer:—</div>
<dl style="margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.2em;"><dd style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.1em; margin-left: 2em;">"<i>Q.</i> What
are we to think of the salvation of those who are out of the pale of
the Church without any fault of theirs, and who never had any
opportunity of knowing better? <i>Ans.</i> Their inculpable
ignorance will not save them; but if they fear God and live up to their
conscience, God, in his infinite mercy, will furnish them with the
necessary means of salvation, even so as to send, if needed, an angel
to instruct them in the Catholic faith, rather than let them perish
through inculpable ignorance."</dd></dl>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Alas! what a shame for S. O. to fall from one abyss of lies and false assertions into another!</div>

11. S. O. DECLARES THAT THE FINAL SENTENCE OF THE ETERNAL JUDGE ON THE
LAST DAY WILL FALL ONLY UPON BAD CATHOLICS – FROM HIS OWN ARGUMENT IT
IS PROVED THAT PROTESTANTS TOO ARE INCLUDED IN THAT SENTENCE.</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
He quotes again:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"<i>Q.</i> What will Christ say to them on the day of judgment? <i>Ans</i>. I know you not, because you never knew me."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It is not," he says, "special pleading for me to take the author at his word, since his argument is that Protestants do not <i>know</i> the true Christ, and to say that at the day of judgment no man will be condemned by Christ <i>because</i> he never knew Him. <i>No man will be condemned on account of his ignorance</i>,
neither Protestant, nor heathen, nor, I may add, Catholic either. He
can be condemned only because, when knowing Christ, he has refused to
accept Him, to believe in Him, to do His will and keep His
commandments. Instead of our Lords' saying that to Protestants, who
never knew the truth of his doctrines as taught by the Catholic Church,
it is those Catholics he threatens to disown who, knowing Him, have
denied Him by their sinful lives, —who, knowing the will of the Lord,
did it not. "And he shall say to you: I know you not whence you are,
depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity." (St. Luke, xiii. 26-27)."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As it is not special pleading for S. O. to take the Author of <i>Explanation</i> at his word, because the Author's argument is that Protestants do not <i>know</i> the true Christ, it will, anyhow, be special pleading for the author of <i>Explanation</i> to take S. O. at his word, since his argument has been all along that Protestants <i>do know</i> the
true Christ and believe precisely what the Catholic Church teaches
concerning Christ. If S. O. then declares that the above sentence
affects "those Catholics who, knowing Christ, have denied him by their
sinful lives, - who, knowing the will of the Lord, did it not," he must
also, for the very same reason, declare that those Protestants, too,
are included in the sentence of the eternal judge, who, knowing Christ,
have denied him by their sinful lives, - who, knowing the will of the
Lord, did it not.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
S. O., like Protestants, uses his own private interpretation of Holy
Scripture, at least of the above sentence of the eternal judge,
contrary to what the Vatican Council declared on this subject, we here
add what St. Augustine (Serm. 23.) says concerning those words of
Christ, "I know you not." "If he who knows all things," says this great
Doctor of the Church, declares '<i>I know you not</i>,' he
means to say, "I reprobate you," because I never knew you as belonging
to my fold by absolute, divine faith in all my words and in all I have
done for your salvation, and so you have always remained separated from
me, and therefore I reprobate you."</div>

O. will do well to reflect on this interpretation of the above final
sentence of Christ. We also submit to his examination the following
words of Christ, which he and all his Protestant friends will hear on
the day of doom.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"He
that shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and
sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he
shall come in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels." (Mark.
viii. 38.) In this text it is stated in the plainest terms that to be
ashamed, not only of Christ, but also of his words, that is, of his
doctrine, of his religion, and consequently of his Church, - the
depositary of that faith, - is a mortal sin, and will entail on the
soul eternal damnation. But if <i>to be ashamed</i> of Christ and his doctrine will condemn the soul to hell, how much more the <i>denying</i> of
Christ and of his, the holy Catholic, Church! Is not S. O. to a certain
degree ashamed of Christ and of his doctrine when he says so much in
favor of Protestant belief, and so very little in favor of Catholic
faith; when he declares that we have misrepresented Catholic and
Protestant doctrines; when he asserts that the proofs we gave and which
are given by the best theologians for the truth that there is no
salvation out of the Church, are false, etc., etc.? Is it not to deny,
to a certain degree, Christ and his doctrine, when he declares that the
faith of Protestants in Christ is precisely the same as that of
Catholics? Is not this as much to say: The devil's religion is as good
as that of God; falsehood is as good as truth; counterfeit Christianity
is as good as true Christianity; human faith is as good as divine
faith; the way to hell is as good as the way to heaven?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
O
happy Protestants! A little while ago, S. O. said of you, that "you
believe precisely what the Catholic Church teaches, namely, that Jesus
Christ is true God and true man, etc. ; that Protestants believe all
that the Catholic Church believes of the facts of his divine life,
miracles, passion, death and resurrection. This is an <i>undeniable</i> truth."
And now he says, "that you never knew the truth of Christ's doctrines
as taught by the Catholic Church;" and what he called an undeniable
truth, he here denies in plain words. He also says of you that "the
Protestant doctrine of the rule of faith, - each one's private
interpretation of the written Word of God, is unquestionably erroneous,
and immediately after he says that you do not believe in this rule. He
says that Protestants are in error as to the divine will. This we know;
but on account of this error, they are not guilty before God; and then
again he partly denies this assertion by saying that willful,
obstinate, truth-rejecting Protestants are guilty." What a consolation
for Protestants to learn these infallible oracles from S. O., to be
assured by him that the words of Christ, "I know you not whence you
are, all ye workers of iniquity," will be addressed, not to
Protestants, but only to Catholics; to learn from him for certain that "<i>no man</i> will
be condemned on account of his ignorance, neither Protestant, nor
heathen, nor Catholic either." Although all Catholic theologians teach
that <i>culpable </i>ignorance of the means of salvation and
of our great duties is a mortal sin, yet he emphatically assures every
Protestant, every heathen, and every Catholic that "<i>no man</i> will be condemned on account of his ignorance." If your ignorance has been inculpable, so much the better, because, <i>though you should commit sins against your conscience</i>,
yet you will not be condemned, because no one is condemned on account
of such inculpable ignorance! What dazzling theological light beams
forth for modern Protestants from the infallible oracles of S. O! How
consoling for them to be quite sure that in this case; as in every
other, he has displayed his customary omniscience. Catholic theology,
dogmatic and moral, logic, history of the Catholic Church and of
society, as every one can see, are his strong points. He might possibly
err in other matters, but not in these. The less fortunate ancestors of
modern Protestants had no such guide. What little help they could get
from the writings of St. Augustine and other Fathers of the Church,
they had; but the <i>surer</i> and <i>more luminous </i>teaching of S. O., communicated through the <i>Catholic U.</i> and <i>T.</i> of
Buffalo, was reserved for the Protestants of the present generation.
The sun of that journal has not been long above the horizon. It arose
to receive and to reflect upon its readers the electric theological
rays of one of the greatest oracles that ever lived - who looks upon
himself as an apostle of enlightenment and measures the success of his
enlightenment by the success he hopes to have in persuading, not only
Catholics, but especially Protestants, and even the heathen, to believe
that the Rev. M. Muller, C.SS.R., has in his <i>Explanation</i> misrepresented Catholic and Protestant belief - God and the devil.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Many
Protestants," says S. O., "by reason of their honest, upright, and
charitable lives, are a standing reproach to bad Catholics."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
teach, indeed, and we firmly believe, that there is no salvation out of
the Catholic Church; yet we do not teach that all who are members of
the Catholic Church will be saved. "Certainly, in our cities and large
towns," says Dr. O. A. Brownson, "aye, even in small villages of our
great country, may be found many so-called liberal or nominal
Catholics, who are no credit to our religion, to their spiritual
Mother, the Church. Subjected as they were, in the land of their birth,
to the restraints imposed by Protestant or quasi-Protestant
governments, they feel, on coming here, that they are loosed from all
restraint; and forgetting the obedience that they owe to their pastors,
to the prelates whom the Holy Ghost has placed over them, they become
insubordinate, and live more like non-Catholics than Catholics. The
children of these are, to a great extent shamefully neglected and
suffered to grow up without sufficient moral and religious instruction,
and to become the recruits of our vicious population. This is certainly
to be deplored, but can easily be explained without prejudice to the
truth and holiness of the Catholic religion, by adverting to the
condition to which those individuals were reduced before coming to this
country; to their disappointments in a strange land; to their exposure
to new and unlooked for temptations; to the fact that they were by no
means the best of Catholics, even in their native countries; to their
poverty, destitution, ignorance, insufficient culture, and a certain
natural shiftlessness and recklessness as well as to the great lack of
Catholic schools, Churches, and fervent priests. As low and degraded as
this class of the Catholic population may be, they are not so low as
the corresponding class of non-Catholics in every nation; at the worst,
there is always some germ that, with proper care, may be nursed into
life, that may blossom and bear fruit. Their mother, the Church, never
ceases to warn them to repent and be cleansed from their sins by the
sacrament of penance. If they do not heed the voice of their mother,
but continue to live in sin to the end of their lives, their
condemnation will be greater than that of those who were born in an
inheritance of error, and whose minds have never been penetrated by the
light of truth. 'That servant,' says Jesus Christ, 'who knew the will
of his Lord, and did not according to his will, shall be beaten with
many stripes.' (Luke, xii. 47.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No
doubt, it is, generally speaking, far more easy to reconcile with God a
disedifying Catholic, who has not renounced the faith, than to get a
Protestant so far as to renounce his errors, and prejudices, and secret
sins that he may be addicted to, and to do all that is necessary to
obtain forgiveness. How many Catholics have there been, who, for
several years, led disedifying lives, and afterwards became models of
virtue, even great saints. A disedifying Catholic, no doubt, displeases
God on account of his sins, but not on account of his faith. A
Protestant, however, cannot please God, as long as he remains without
divine faith, without which it is impossible to please God, says the
Holy Ghost in Holy Scripture. And if faith, without good works, is dead
to a certain degree, it should be remembered that good works performed
without divine faith are also dead.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What
right, therefore, has S. O. to say that, by reason of their honest,
upright, and charitable lives, many Protestants are a standing reproach
to bad Catholics. It would have been more honorable for him, it would
have done more good to Protestants, if he had said that the millions of
Catholics in Ireland and other countries, who have died for their faith
in the persecutions they had to suffer from Protestants, are a standing
reproach to all kinds of Protestants; that the lives of virginity and
self-sacrifice that so many saintly Catholics lead, especially
thousands of holy sisters, brothers, and priests, is a standing
reproach to Protestants as long as they live in heresy.</div>

[Preaching <i>Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus</i> plainly is charitable]</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"This <i>Explanation</i>,"
says S. O., "is a book which wounds the sincere Protestant who is
honestly seeking the truth, and causing him to turn hopelessly and
despairingly from the true spouse of Christ his Redeemer."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
is nothing in which the great Apostle of the Gentiles seems more to
glory than in his ardent zeal for the salvation of souls, and in the
sincerity of his heart in delivering to the world the sacred truths of
eternity pure and uncorrupted. He was not ashamed of these divine
truths; he rejoiced when he was called to suffer for them; he had no
worldly interest in view in preaching them; he sought not the esteem
and favor of men in delivering them; his only view was to promote the
honor of his blessed Master, and to gain souls to him, and therefore he
had no idea of using flattering words, or of accommodating the doctrine
of the Gospel to the humors of men.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
He
knew that the truths revealed by Jesus Christ are unalterable; that
"heaven and earth shall pass away, but his words shall never pass
away;" and that, therefore, to corrupt these sacred words, though but
in one single article, would be "perverting the Gospel of Christ" (Gal.
i.7), a sin so grievous, that the Holy Ghost, by his mouth, pronounces
a curse upon any one, though an angel from heaven, who shall dare to be
guilty of it. Hence he describes his own conduct in preaching the
Gospel as follows; "Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia,
in what; manner I have been with you for all the time ... How I kept
back nothing that was profitable to you, but have preached it to you,
and taught you publicly, and from house to house." (Acts xx. 18, 20.)
"We had confidence in our God, to speak to you the Gospel of God in
much carefulness; ... not not as pleasing men, but God, who proveth our
hearts; for neither have we used at any time the speech of flattery, as
you know, nor taken occasion of covetousness; God is witness. Nor
sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others." (I. Thess. ii.
2, 4.) "For we are not as many, adulterating the Word of God; but with
sincerity, as from God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ." (II
Cor. ii. 17.) "We renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking
in craftiness, nor adulterating the Word of God, but by manifestation
of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the
sight of God; for we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord"
(II. Cor. iv. 2, 5) "Do I speak to please men? If I yet pleased men I
should not be a servant of Christ." (Gal. i. 10.) Now, "Christ sent me
to preach the Gospel, not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ
should be made void; for the word of the cross to them, indeed, that
perish, is foolishness; but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it
is the power of God . . . And it pleased God by the foolishness of our
preaching to save them that believe . . . For the foolishness of God is
wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men . . . and
the foolish things of the world God hath chosen, that he may confound
the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen that he may
confound the strong . . . that no flesh should glory in his sight." (I.
Cor. i. 17.) "But I am not ashamed of the Gospel; for it is the power
of God unto salvation to every one that believeth." (Rom. i. 16.) And
therefore, "I, when I came among you, came not in loftiness of speech
or of wisdom, declaring to you the testimony of Christ; and my
preaching was not in the persuasive words of human wisdom, but in
showing of the Spirit, and in power; that your faith might not stand on
the wisdom of men, but on the power of God." (I. Cor. ii. 1.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Church of Christ, animated by the same divine spirit of truth which
inspired this holy Apostle, has at all times regulated her conduct
according to the model set before her in his own words and example.
"Earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints"
(Jude, ver. 3.) her continual care is "to keep that which is committed
to her trust" pure and undefiled, "avoiding all profane novelties of
words" (I. Tim. vi. 20.), that the sacred <i>words</i> of
God, "once put into her mouth, may never depart from her, from
henceforth and for ever." (Isa. lix. 21.) She therefore knows not what
it is to temporize in religion, in order to please men, nor to
adulterate the Gospel of Christ to humor them; she declares the sacred
truths revealed by Jesus Christ in their original simplicity, without
seeking to adorn them with the persuasive words of human wisdom, much
less to disguise them in a garb not their own. Truth, plain, and
unadorned, is the only weapon she employs against her adversaries,
regardless of their censure or their approbation. "This is the truth,"
she says, "revealed by God; this ye must embrace, or ye can have no
part with him." If the world look upon what she says as foolishness,
she is not surprised, for she knows that "the sensual man perceiveth
not the things that are of the Spirit of God ; for it is foolishness to
him, and he cannot understand " (I. Cor. ii. 14.), but that "the
foolishness of God is wiser than men"; and pitying this blindness, she
earnestly prays God to enlighten them, "with modesty admonishing them,
. . . if, peradventure, God may give them repentance to know the
truth." (II. Tim. ii. 25.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
If
ever there was a time when this conduct of the Church was necessary,
the present age seems particularly to demand it. At present the gates
of hell seem opened, and infidelity of every kind stalks lawless on the
earth; the sacred truths of religion are reviled and denied, the
Gospel; adulterated by countless contradictory interpretations; its
original simplicity disfigured by loftiness of speech and the
persuasive words of human wisdom. A thousand condescensions and
compliances are admitted and received, by which the purity of faith and
morals greatly suffers, and the "narrow way that leads to life," is
converted into the "broad road that leads to destruction." This
observation applies particularly to that <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">latitudinarian opinion, so
common nowadays, that </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">a man may be saved in any religion, provided he lives a good moral life according to the light he has</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">;
for, by this, the faith of Christ is made void, and the Gospel rendered
of no avail</span>. A Jew, a Mahometan, a heathen, a deist, an atheist, are
all comprehended in this scheme, and if they live a good moral life,
have an equal right to salvation with a Christian! To be a member of
the Church of Christ is no longer necessary; for whether we belong to
her or not, if we live a good moral life, we are in the way of
salvation! What a wide field does this open to human passions! What
license does it give to the caprice of the human mind! It is therefore
of the utmost consequence to state and to show plainly the revealed
Catholic truth that " there is no salvation out of the Catholic Church."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
strong, vigorous, and uncompromising presentation of this Catholic
truth must be made against those soft, weak, timid,<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;"> liberalizing
Catholics, who labor to explain away all the points of Catholic faith
offensive to non-Catholics, and to make it appear that there is no
question of life and death, of heaven and hell, involved in the
differences between us and Protestants. This truth is hated by many, we
know, and yet it is a truth revealed by God to his Church for our
salvation.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
St.
Thomas asks the question: "Can man hate truth?" and he answers: "Truth
in general never provokes hatred, but it can in a particular manner. As
to good, which is always desirable, no one could resist its attractions
or hate it ; but it is not the same in regard to truth. Truth, in
general, is always in harmony with our nature, but it may happen in
certain cases that it is not agreeable to our feelings and prejudice.
Hence St. Augustine says: 'man likes the splendor and beauty of truth,
but he cannot bear its precepts and remonstrances.' The great Apostle
says likewise : 'Am I then become your enemy, because I tell you the
truth?' " (Gal. iv. 16.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
St. Thomas also asks the question: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #707000; background-color: #ffff99;">"Should Christ </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #707000; background-color: #ffff99;">have preached to the Jews without offending them</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #707000; background-color: #ffff99;">?"</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
salvation of the people is preferable to the caprice and bigotry of
individuals. If their perversity and fanaticism is huffed at what the
true minister of God preaches, he must not be daunted and troubled on
that account, for the Word of God is free, in spite of tongue and
sword. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">If the truth scandalizes the wicked, says St. Gregory, it is
better to suffer their scandal than to discontinue the doctrine of
grace and truth. </span>Who were those who took offense at our Saviour's
doctrine? A small number of fanatic Scribes and Pharisees, full of
hypocrisy and wickedness, who, through malice and jealousy, opposed the
divine doctrine, which alone could save and sanctify the people. "Let
hem alone," said our divine Saviour, "they are blind, and if the blind
leads the blind they shall both fall into the pit." (Matt.xv. 14.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"At
the time of the Vatican Council," says Cardinal Manning, "there were
some who thought that the Catholic doctrine of the infallibility of the
Pope should not he defined, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">lest schismatics and heretics should be
repelled yet further from the Church. But their reason was not good.
</span>The reason that prevailed for the definition of the dogma in question
was that Catholics have a right to be taught by the Council what they
are to believe in so weighty a matter, lest the pernicious error of the
time should in the end infect simple minds and the masses of the people
unawares. Hence it was that the Fathers of Lyons and of Trent deemed
themselves bound to establish the doctrine of the truth, not
withstanding the offense that might be taken by schismatics heretics.
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">For if these seek the truth in sincerity, they will not be repelled,
but, on the contrary, drawn towards us, when they see on what
foundations chiefly repose the truths taught by the Catholic Church.
But should any of them feel repelled by stating the truth, they are
only such as seek a pretext for not joining the Catholic Church. </span>(See
Postulatum of Vat. Counc.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
If
we desire that all those who are not members of the Catholic Church
should cease to deceive themselves as to the true character of their
belief, and propose to them considerations which may contribute to that
result, it is certainly not from enmity to their persons, nor from
indifference to their welfare. As long as they remain victims of a
delusion as gross as that which makes the Jew still cling to his
abolished synagogue, and which only a miracle of grace can dispel, some
of them will probably resent the counsel of their truest friends; but
why should they take as for enemies. "The Christian," says Tertullian,
" is the enemy of no one," not even of his persecutors. He hates heresy
because God hates it; but he has only compassion for those who are
caught in its snares. Whether he exhorts or reproves them, he displays
not malice, but charity. He knows that they are, of all men, the most
helpless; and when his voice of warning is, most vehement, he is only
doing what the Church has done from the beginning. His voice is but the
echo of hers. We are told that, before the Council of Nice, she had
already condemned thirty-eight different heresies; and in every case
she pronounced anathema upon those who held them. And she was as truly
the mouthpiece of God in her judicial as in her teaching office.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Church is, indeed, uncompromising in matters of truth. Truth is the
honor of the Church. The Church is the most honorable of all societies.
She is the highest standard of honor because she judges all things in
the light of God, who is the source of all honor. A man who has no love
for the truth, a man who tells a willful lie or takes a false oath, is
considered dishonored. No one cares for him, and it would be
unreasonable to accuse of intolerance or bigotry because he refuses to
associate with a man who has no love for the truth. It would be just as
unreasonable to accuse the Catholic Church of intolerance, or bigotry,
or want of charity, because she excludes from her society, and
pronounces anathema upon, those who have no regard for the truth, and
remain willfully out of her communion.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
If
the Church believed that men could be saved in any religion whatever,
or without any at all, it would be uncharitable in her to announce to
the world that out of her there is no salvation. But as she knows and
maintains that there is but one faith, as there is but one God and Lord
of all, and that she is in possession of that one faith, and that
without that faith it is impossible to please God, and be saved, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">it
would be very uncharitable in her and in all her children, to hide
Christ's doctrine from the world.</span> To warn our neighbor when he is in
imminent danger of falling into a deep abyss, is considered an act of
great charity. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">It is a greater act of charity to warn non-Catholics of
the certain danger in which they are of falling into the abyss of hell,
since Jesus Christ, and the Apostles themselves, and all their
successors, have always most emphatically asserted that out of the
church there is no salvation.</span></div>

This answer, we think, is plain enough for S. O. The heretical animus, which characterizes his <i>Queer Explanation</i> throughout, is calculated only to keep honest Protestants as far from the Catholic Church as ever.</div>

NATURAL LAW. (According to St. Thomas Aquinas)">edit</a>]</span>§ 1. NATURAL LAW. (According to St. Thomas Aquinas)</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
God
governs and directs the material world and all irrational creatures
according to the laws of his omnipotence and wisdom, having provided
every creature with means proportioned to the end which it has
gradually to fulfill in time and place. "Thy Providence, O Father,
governeth all." (Wisd. xiv. 3.) " God, with a certain law and compass,
enclosed the depth; he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law
to the waters, that they should not pass their limits." (Prov. viii.
27-30.) As to <i>rational</i> creatures - angels and men - God wishes to govern them by the law of goodness and justice.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
law of God's goodness for men is that they shall always glorify God by
doing his holy will; that all their homage and adoration are due to him
alone, and are never to be given to any creature; that they are to
honor, reverence, and love those who gave them birth and brought them
up; that they are not to kill one another, nor live like brutes, nor
rob one another, but that every one is to treat his fellow-men as he
wishes to be treated by them. To this law of divine goodness, God added
for mankind the law of his justice; that is, if any one refuses to obey
this law of divine goodness, he shall be subjected to the torments
which God's justice has decreed for all rebellious creatures.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
law of his goodness and justice God impressed upon mankind from the
very beginning. "See," says St Paul, " the goodness and severity of
God: towards them, indeed, that are fallen, the severity: but towards
thee, the goodness of God, if thou abide in goodness." (Rom, xi. 22.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This law of God's goodness and justice is also called <i>Natural Law</i> -
Law of Nature, because it is naturally impressed on the mind and heart
of every rational being, and makes him know the difference between good
and evil.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
man possesses the gift of reason, or, as it is some times called, "the
light of nature," no man is left in utter ignorance of God and of his
will - of the Natural Law. "God has not left himself without testimony"
(Acts, xiv. 16), even among the heathens, who, if they do not have full
light and knowledge, may yet, as St. Paul told the Athenians, "feel
after him, or find him" (Acts, xvii. 27.) "For when the Gentiles." he
says, "who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the
law, these, not having the law, are a law unto themselves, who show the
works of the law written in their hearts, their con science bearing
witness to them." (Rom. ii. 14, 15.) This <i>light of nature</i> is
a participation of the eternal law or wisdom of God. "The light of thy
countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us," says the Royal Prophet (Ps.
iv.).</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Thus
indicating that the light of reason, which makes us distinguish between
good and evil, right and wrong, is nothing else than the impression of
divine light on the soul of man.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">As
all men have this light of nature as a rule of right and wrong, no man
can plead utter ignorance of right and wrong.</span> Hence it is that we find,
even in the heathen nations, the obligations of the natural law
respected. This eternal, natural law of right and wrong is called <i>moral law</i>,
because natural law, or sound reason, is the rule and standard of good
morals; it is the rule to guide men in all their actions; it tells them
what is good and bad, what they must do or avoid.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
All
men, without exception, know the light of nature, the first and general
principles of right and wrong. But all do not know the necessary
conclusions deduced from these principles. A geometrician in Paris
comes to the same conclusion as another in London or in any other part
of the world, that, for instance, three angles of a triangle are equal
to two right angels, etc. Practical reason draws similar conclusions,
if we do not lose sight of general principles; but by deviating from
these principles, reason varies with circumstances. For instance, if a
sum of money was entrusted to you, reason commands you to give it back
to the owner. But if you knew he wanted it for the purpose of
committing some bad action, as vengeance against his neighbor or
country, then reason forbids you to give it to him for such a wicked
deed. Still, some may think and act differently, and be, therefore,
mistaken in losing sight of general principles, as others fall into
error in overlooking the first principles. Natural law, therefore, is
invariable for all, as long as they do not lose sight of the first
principles of right and wrong.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
Natural Law comprises the first principles of right and wrong, these
principles are unchangeable. It is self-evident that that which is
natural cannot but be. For instance, the law of nature obliges us to
worship God and love him. God, then, after having given us life and
reason, never changes what is naturally necessary for his creature,
namely, to adore and love his creator. Hence the natural law
imperatively enjoins upon us the duties of gratitude and love towards
God, from which nothing can exempt us.</div>

THE WRITTEN LAW">edit</a>]</span>§ 2. THE WRITTEN LAW</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
laws of nature," says St. Thomas Aquinas, "and all principles of
justice and morality, were almost effaced in the time which elapsed
between Adam and Moses. At the time of Abraham, all nations had fallen
into idolatry. They were plunged into all sorts of vices. Almost all
shut their eyes to the light of reason. They were like one who is
falling into an abyss. The deeper he falls, the less day-light he sees.
God permitted the wicked to fall into this state of universal ignorance
and impiety, in order to humble their pride and arrogance. Always full
of pride and perversity, they pretend that their private reason alone
is sufficient for them to know their duties, and their natural powers
to practise them. So, after that sad experience of their ignorance and
impiety, God, in his mercy, came to their assistance by giving them the
written law in the person of Moses, as a remedy for their blindness and
obstinacy. The natural law is imperfect. Hence a divine law is
absolutely necessary to direct us in the way of eternal beatitude. We
cannot attain to a supernatural end by natural or human means. We need
a divine law to direct our thoughts and actions towards that end. The
judgment of men is inconsistent and changeable. They need an infallible
law to direct and rectify their judgment, in order to know with
certainty what they must do and avoid in order to obtain everlasting
happiness. So, Almighty God added to the natural law a higher law,
relating to a higher end, in the form of the Mosaic and evangelical
law."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
Law," says St. Paul, "was given through the agency of angels by the
hand of a mediator." (Gal. iii. 19.) And St. Stephen said to the Jews:
"Ye have received the law by the ministry of angels." (Acts, vii. 53.)
St. Dionysius the Areopagite says that the angels are commissioned to
bring all messages from heaven to earth, that is from God to man.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
principal object of divine law is to render man holy. "Be ye holy, as I
am holy," says the Lord. This holiness consists in perfect love of God
and man. This charity is the accomplishment of the Law. It is, then, by
the practice that we become holy and resemble God. Hence it was
necessary that the Old Law should contain different moral precepts
regarding the virtues necessary for the perfect happiness of man. These
moral precepts are all contained in the ten commandments. These
commandments are a full explanation of the natural law. They are of a
divine institution. They were communicated by the ministry of angels to
Moses who proclaimed them all to the Hebrew people; but he added other
precepts, ordinances, and ceremonies for the punctual observance of the
commandments.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
three first prescribe our duties towards God; that is, to worship him
by faith, hope, and charity; and the seven last prescribe our duties
towards all our fellow-men.</div>

THE NEW LAW OR THE LAW OF GRACE.">edit</a>]</span>§ 3. THE NEW LAW OR THE LAW OF GRACE.</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
whole human race says St. Thomas Aquinas, was destined to live
successively during three distinct periods. The first period was that
of the Old Law, the second that of the New Law, and the third and last
that of the kingdom of eternal glory. St. Paul says that the Old Law
(the many ceremonial precepts) was abolished on account of its weakness
and unprofitableness, for it brought nothing to perfection; but it
brought into us a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God. (Heb. vii.
8.) He says again: "That the Old Law and commandment are indeed holy,
just and good." Now we say that a doctrine is good when it is
conformable to truth, and we say that a law is good when it is
consistent with reason. Such was the Old Law; for it repressed
concupiscence, which militates against reason, and it forbade all
transgressions contrary to human reason and the divine Law. It acted as
a physician does in restoring a patient to health by salutary
prescriptions.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
chief end of man is eternal glory; but it is only by divine grace that
we can merit it. The Old Law could not confer it. "The Law was given by
Moses; grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." (John, i. 17.) But the
Old Law was good, because it was a preparation for the Law of Grace,
for the coming of the Messiah, either by giving testimony of him, or by
preserving among the Jews the knowledge and worship of the true God.
"Before that faith came, we were kept under the Law for that faith
which was to be revealed." (Gal. iii. 23.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
However,
notwithstanding the imperfection of the Old Law, the Jews had
sufficient means of salvation by faith in the Redeemer to come. Jesus
Christ, ardently expected, was the Saviour of the Patriarchs, of the
Prophets, and of all the holy souls of the Old Law; as Jesus Christ,
truly come, is the Saviour of the Apostles; martyrs, and all the holy
souls of the New Law.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The Law of Jesus Christ then, or the Law of Grace, was substituted for the Old Law. This Law is called new for several reasons.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The Law of Grace is <i>new</i> in its <i>author</i>.
The Old Law was given by the ministry of angels, but the New Law, by
the only begotten Son of God. Hence, to prove the preeminence of the
New Law above the Old Law, St. Paul says: "God had spoken in times past
to our forefathers by the prophets, but he has spoken to us by his Son,
whom he hath appointed heir of all things." (Heb. i. 1-2.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The Law of Christ is <i>new</i> in its <i>efficacy</i>.
The Old Law did not confer the grace of justification; it only
prefigured and promised it in view of the New Law, which supplied the
insufficiency by substituting reality for figures, and the gift of
graces for promises. Thus the Law of Christ is the perfect
accomplishment and realization of the Mosaic Law.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The law of Christ, is <i>new</i> in its <i>rewards</i>.
Moses, as we read in the beginning of the Book of Exodus, conveyed the
Hebrew people from Egypt, for the conquest of foreign nations and
promised them a land flowing with milk and honey.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Law of the Gospel proposes and promises, first of all, celestial and
eternal happiness and glory. Jesus Christ began to preach the Gospel
with these humble and holy words; "Do penance; the kingdom of heaven is
approaching."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The Law of Christ is <i>new</i> in the <i>perfection</i> it
requires. The law ought to direct all human acts for the observance of
justice and the punishment of all crimes. But the Mosaic law punished
only external acts, whilst the law of the Gospel restrains even
internal acts. The one repressed the actions of the hands, whilst the
other repressed oven the sinful thoughts and passions of the heart.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The Law of Christ is <i>new</i> in the <i>motive of its operation</i>.
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">The Old Law operated only by fear and punishment, whilst the Law of
Grace operates by perfect justice and charity</span>. "For the Law of the
spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath delivered me from the law of sin
and death," says St. Paul. (Rom. viii. 2.) In the Old Testament, says
St. Augustine, the law was given in an external form to terrify the
wicked, whilst, in the New Testament it is given by the infusion of
divine charity for our justification. The Old Law of words was written
on tables of stone, whilst the Law of Grace is engraved on the living
tables of the hearts of the faithful. Hence the New Law is a law of
grace, infused into the souls of the just, and proceeds from faith in
Christ, who added counsels thereto for all who aspire to virtue and
perfection.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
By
its divine authority, the New Law has the power to prescribe outward
works and prohibit certain others. As it has made us children of light,
we must perform works of justice and charity and avoid those of sin and
darkness. "For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord;
walk then as children of light." (Eph. v. 8.) The New Law is a law of
grace and sanctity. But in order to know that we possess this divine
gift of grace and sanctity, visible signs are necessary, and the
sacraments are such signs of grace. He who has received the gift of
grace must manifest it in words and actions; for the law of Christ
orders us to profess our faiths and never to deny it on any occasion.
(Matt. x. 32-33.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
New Law, being a law of grace, charity, and liberty, adds counsels to
precepts, which are not absolutely obligatory. The precepts of the New
Law are of a moral, indispensable obligation, whilst the counsels are
of a discretionary character, and left to our own choice. "Ointment and
perfumes rejoice the heart, and the good counsels of a friend are sweet
to the soul." (Prov. xxvii. 9.) Now, Christ being the essence of all
wisdom and charity, his evangelical counsels are the most useful and
salutary to all Christians.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Man
is placed in this world<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> between heavenly beatitudes and temporal
enjoyments; so that, the more he is attached to the one, the more he
renounces the other.</span> However, it is not necessary to deprive himself of
all the goods of this world to attain eternal happiness; but by
depriving himself of the goods of this world, he places himself in a
safer way to work out his salvation. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">The riches and enjoyments of this
world seduce us</span> by the attraction of three kinds of concupiscence.
Hence, the new law, in order to bring us to evangelical perfection,
proposes poverty as an infallible remedy to overcome the concupiscence
of the eyes; chastity, to resist that of the flesh; and obedience, to
conquer the pride and vanity of life. The counsels of the Gospel are
thus a moral discipline which leads to sanctity and perfection. Hence
St. Paul, after having counselled virginity, adds: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">"And this I speak
for your profit, not to cast a snare upon you, but for that which may
give you power to attend upon the Lord without impediment."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
certain traveller was obliged to pass through a vast forest in the
darkness of the night. In order not to lose the way to his country, he
carried a lamp in his hand, in the light of which he could always
clearly see the way he had to travel to reach his home in safety.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
this world, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">we all travel towards our true country, which is heaven.</span> We
have to travel through the vast forest of this world, in the darkness
of the night, that is we have to travel through the darkness of the
temptations of the devil, of the flesh, and of the errors of false
religions and the perverse principles of wicked men.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now
in order that we may not lose our way to heaven, God has given us a
lamp in the light of which we can always see the way we must go to
enter the kingdom of heaven. This lamp is especially the New Law, the
true religion of Christ. "The commandments of God," says the Holy
Scripture, "is a lamp, and his law is a light." (Prov. vi. 23.) The law
of Jesus Christ is called a lamp, a light, because it shows to every
one the way to heaven; it tells him what he must do and what he must
avoid in order to please God and be saved. "Keep my commandments and my
law, as the apple of thine eye, and thou shalt live" (Prov. viii. 2).</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
law of Christ, therefore, is one of the greatest gifts for every man.
"I will give you," says the Lords "a good gift," the gift of my
commandments, "forsake not my law." (Prov. iv. 2.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
the Law of Grace is perfect in every manner, it cannot be succeeded by
any other law. It will therefore last to the end of the world.</div>

CONSCIENCE IN GENERAL.">edit</a>]</span>§ 4. CONSCIENCE IN GENERAL.</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
God
was not satisfied with showing to man the way to heaven - which is the
keeping of the commandments of Jesus Christ, - he, moreover, has given
to every one an invisible companion, who stays with him day and night,
to the end of his life. Some give to this companion the name of
conscience; others call him the oracle or voice of God in nature and
heart of man, as distinct from the voice of revelation. A certain poet
says: "Whatever creed be taught, or land be trod, Man's conscience is
the oracle of God." Yes, the voice of conscience holds of God, and not
of man; it is planted in us, before we have had any training, though
such training is necessary for its strength, growth, and due formation;
it is found even in the untutored savage.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When
Columbus discovered America, the <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">chieftain of an Indian tribe one day
said to him</span>; "I am told that thou hast lately come to these lands with
a mighty force, and subdued many countries, spreading great fear among
the people; but be not, therefore, vain-glorious. Know that, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">according
to our belief, the souls of men have two journeys to perform</span> after they
have departed from the body: one, to a place dismal and foul, and
covered with darkness, prepared for those souls who have been unjust
and cruel to their fellow-men; the other, pleasant and full of light,
for such as have promoted peace on earth. If, then, thou art mortal and
dost expect to die, and dost believe that each one shall be rewarded
according to his deeds, beware that thou wrongfully hurt no man, nor do
harm to those who have done no harm to thee." (Irving's "Columbus,"
chap. v., p. 443.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From
this short oration of a heathen it is evident that there is a voice of
conscience even in the savage, telling him what is right and wrong.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
faithful companion knows how far every one is acquainted with the law
of God. He knows our desires, our words, our actions, and the omission
of our duties. Now his office is to apply our knowledge of the law to
every thing we desire, say, and do, in order to see whether our
desires, words, and actions are in conformity with the law of God, or
in opposition to it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
St. Thomas says: "Conscience is not a power, but an act of the soul by
which we apply to a particular action, the first principles of right
and wrong. If we apply these principles to the commission or omission
of an act, our conscience is witness of it. `For thy conscience knoweth
that thou hast also often spoken evil of others.' (Eccles. vii., 23.)
If we apply those principles to what ought or ought not to be done for
the moment, our conscience excites us to do it or dissuades us from
doing it. If we apply those principles to a past transaction, to know
whether it was good or bad, our conscience accuses or excuses us."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Conscience,
or the sense of right and wrong, which is the first element in
religion, is so delicate, so fitful, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">so easily puzzled, obscured,
perverted; so subtle in its argumentative methods, so impressible by
education</span>, so biased by pride and passion, so unsteady in its flight,
that this sense of right and wrong is at once the highest of all
teachers, yet the least clear and luminous in most men. Hence it is
that we meet with different kinds of conscience.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
right or true conscience is one which, according to sound principles,
dictates what is right and wrong. For instance: Before we published our
little work <i>Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i>,
we requested the Rev. Francis J. Freel, D. D., then the beloved Pastor
of the Church of St. Charles Borromeo, in Brooklyn, N.Y., and the Rev.
A. Konings, C.S.S.R., one of the best theologians of this country, to
examine the manuscript and see whether it was all correct in every
point of doctrine. Knowing their theology well, these two theologians
could judge well of the doctrine I had explained.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Here is what they wrote about the <i>Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i>:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<i>Rev. dear Father Muller</i>:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
I
have carefully read and examined your excellent manuscript, entitled
Familiar Explanation, etc. As far as I can judge, it is a clear, sound,
orthodox, exposition of Catholic doctrine, in a form of question and
answer, which cannot fail to be <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">extremely useful for the right
understanding of the truths</span>, commandments, and sacraments of our holy
religion. Particularly useful seem to be the parts which explain the
True Faith, the True Church, the Infallibility of the Pope, and, well,
I should have to mention every chapter, from the beginning to the end.
It is another great Godsend for these days of unbelief and corruption.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
I am your humble servant in the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary,</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Rev. dear Father Muller:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
I
have most carefully read and examined your excellent manuscript,
"Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine." I took the liberty to
make a few alterations. I do not hesitate for a moment to pronounce
this work of yours one of the most useful for our time and country. It
is written in the true spirit of St. Alphonsus. Its theology is sound
and solid, its spirit most devout, and its language simple and popular.
I was particularly pleased with those chapters which treat on the
Church, Papal Infallibility, Indifference to Religion, Prayer, and
Grace. Your book cannot but prove most useful to those who are learning
and to those who teach the Christian Doctrine. Its diligent and
frequent perusal cannot fail to confirm converts in their faith, and
supply Catholics with quite popular and solid arguments to refute the
fallacious objections of non-Catholics. I feel confident that both the
clergy and laity will hail with delight the publication of a book so
well calculated to remedy the two great evils of our time and country -
want of faith and true piety.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Congratulating you on having so successfully accomplished one of the most difficult works,</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
I am your devoted confrere, A. KONINGS, C.S.S.R.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The Rev. Dr. Freel and the Rev. A. Konings, then, gave these testimonials according to their right or true conscience.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A <i>certain</i> conscience
is one which is clear and absolute in its dictates, so that, in obeying
it, we feel morally certain that we are right.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When, upon the above favorable criticisms of <i>Explanation</i>,
the Most Rev. J. Roosevelt Bailey, Archbishop of Baltimore, gave us the
Imprimatur for the little volume, his conscience was morally certain;
and also our conscience was morally certain when we placed the
manuscript into the hands of the printer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
By
moral certainty, is meant such a one as prudent and enlightened men
think it reasonable to act upon in matters of importance. It is the
highest kind of certainty we can ordinarily gain in matters of daily
conduct.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Church requires no other certainty in giving permission for the
publication of a work treating of faith and morals. (See Third Plenary
Council of Baltimore, p. 100, No. 220). The Rev. B. Neithart, C.SS.R.,
also had this moral certainty when he wrote to us, "Were it in my
power, I would assuredly procure thousands of copies of this work, and
distribute them broadcast over the entire land; <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">nor would I rest till
this little volume came into every household, and was thumbed by every
hand—Catholic, Protestant or infidel.</span>"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
conscience of the Rt. Rev. Thomas L. Grace, Bishop of St. Paul, was
morally certain of the truth he told, when he wrote to us on Dec. 10,
1881:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"<i>Rev. dear Father</i>:
— I received the book you were so kind to send me, `The Greatest and
the First Commandment.' I am reading it. What I have already said of
the other books of the series, I repeat now <i>with greater emphasis of this one and of all</i>,
namely: These books are not merely elementary, nor are they dryly
dogmatic; they give reasons and authorities, explain and illustrate,
and, written in a plain and easy style, they well deserve to be
entitled —Catholic Theology popularized. The science of theology, or
the philosophy of religion, has been sealed except to the clergy and
the highly educated among laymen. Few of the latter, however, care to
go through the drudgery of study in a language foreign to them, and
with forms and a terminology, requiring long practice to make familiar.
Yet the greatest need of the Church in the present day is to have
Catholics thoroughly instructed in the principles of their religion and
the reasons for their faith. I conceive this to be your motive in
writing these books — to supply the means by which this most needed
knowledge may be placed within the reach of every earnest Catholic. It
is this that constitutes the super-eminent excellence of these books.
But not only do they instruct with <i>utmost thoroughness and precision</i>, they are deeply edifying; and what is of greater consideration, they are pleasing, and attractive by their style and manner. <i>I mean no mere commendation, in writing this.</i> These
books, to be available for their real value, must be known to our
Catholic people, which, I regret to say, is not the case." Many other
learned prelates, and priests, and the Catholic Press of our country
have spoken of my works in the same manner, as can be seen from the
recommendations of my works, placed in front of the last volume of <i>God the Teacher of Mankind.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Since
the publication of this large work, we have, by Benziger Brothers,
published the third improved edition of our Catechisms, and the second
improved edition of <i>Familiar Explanation of Catholic Doctrine</i>. His Eminence, J. Cardinal Gibbons, writes of these catechisms and <i>Familiar Explanation</i>:
"They are strongly marked by <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">soundness of doctrine, simplicity and
plainness of language</span>, a spirit of faith and devotion, and precision in
expressing and defining Catholic truths." Rest assured that the
Cardinal wrote this with moral certainty of the truth. It is also with
the same moral certainty that many other learned prelates, priests, and
the Catholic Press have testified to the orthodoxy of our Doctrine, as
S. O. may read in front of our ninth volume of <i>God the Teacher of Mankind.</i></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
which
fears not only sin, but also whatever can have the least shadow and
smallest appearance of sin. Happy the conscience which is so disposed!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Splendid
examples of tenderness of conscience, which have not been as yet
recorded in any Catholic book, are S. O., and the Rev. Editor of the <i>B. U.</i> and <i>T.</i> See how careful they have been never to mention the name of the author of <i>Familiar Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i>,
nor to drop from their pen one word of praise either in regard to the
author, the Rev. M. Muller, C.SS.R., or in regard to any of his works,
as he might be strongly tempted to vainglory, and to expose him to
such a dangerous temptation would not be right for their tender
conscience, which, by such an imprudent act, might lose considerable of
its tenderness.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
the light of their tender conscience they also foresaw, that,<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> if the
name of the author, or of any of his works, was mentioned to the
public, both many of the clergy and of the laity would be scandalized
at what they said of his little volume, and that they would not believe
it, knowing the author, as they do, to be a truly orthodox writer</span>. In
order, therefore, that their tender conscience might not be tormented
day and night by such a scandal, and in order, also, that they might
not lose their own reputation with the public, they acted in perfect
conformity to the principles of their tender conscience. What an
unspeakable happiness to be blessed with so tender a conscience!</div>

The doubtful conscience.">edit</a>]</span>4. The doubtful conscience.</h5>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
doubtful conscience is one which is, as it were, hanging in a balance,
and being in suspense, uncertain whether a thing is lawful or not,
whether an action is forbidden or, allowed. On both sides it sees
plausible reasons, which make an impression, but amongst these reasons
there is none that draws down the weight, and is sufficient to ground a
determination. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #707000; background-color: #ffff99;">Thus wavering between these different and opposite
reasons, it remains undetermined, and dares not make a decision for
fear of being deceived, and of falling into sin. Now, it is never
allowed to act with a doubtful conscience.</span> When we do something, we
must be morally sure that what we are doing is lawful. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">To do something,
and have, at the same time, a reasonable doubt about the lawfulness of
our action, is to commit sin</span>, because we expose, ourselves to the
danger of sin; If we act in such a doubt about the lawfulness of our
action, we show ourselves indifferent as to whether we break a law or
not, and consequently make ourselves guilty of the sin to the danger of
which we expose ourselves. Hence St. Paul says: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #707000; background-color: #ffff99;">"Anything that is not
according to conscience, is a sin."</span> (Rom. xiv. 13.)</div>
<div data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
must, then, seek for light and instruction, if we can; or, if it is
necessary to act without delay, and we have neither means nor time to
consult and procure information to clear the doubt and settle our
conscience, after begging God to enlighten us, we must consider and
examine what seems most expedient in his sight under the present
circumstances, then take our determination and proceed; yet always
reserving the intention of procuring information, and correcting the
mistake afterwards, if anything was not according to law. This is no
longer acting in doubt, as the prospect of doing what seems most
expedient takes away the doubt: we may, it is true, be deceived, but we
cannot sin.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
doubts may arise in our mind as to whether we have complied with a
certain law that must be complied with. It is a law, for instance, to
be validly baptized. Now, if there arises a reasonable doubt about the
validity of a person's baptism, that person must be baptized again to
make sure of the compliance with the law. It is a certain law that, in
order to be saved, a man must profess the true faith, live up to it,
and die in it. Now if a non-Catholic for good reasons doubts the truth
of his religion, he is not allowed to continue to live and die in this
doubt. He must, to the best of his ability, inquire about the true
religion, and after having found it, he is obliged to embrace it, in
order to comply with the law of professing the true divine faith and
worship. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">It is a law that we must confess all our mortal sins which we
do remember after a careful examination of conscience.</span> Now, if after
confession we have a reasonable doubt as to whether we have confessed a
certain mortal sin, we are bound to confess that sin, in order to make
sure of having complied with the law of confessing all our mortal sins.
If we have borrowed money from our neighbor and afterwards have a
reasonable doubt as to whether we have returned it, we are still bound
to pay it.<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> In the time of war, an officer, or soldier, who doubts as to
whether the war is just, is bound to obey his general, because it is a
certain law that no one, much less a superior, is to be accused of
unjust commands and actions, as long as there are not quite evident
reasons to prove the contrary.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
is a law which says, "Thou shalt not kill." If a hunter, then, seeing
something stir in a brush-wood, doubts whether it is a man or an
animal, he is not allowed to fire before he is sure that it is not a
man. Or should a physician, when prescribing medicine, reasonably doubt
that the medicine might kill his patient, he is not allowed to
prescribe such a medicine.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Whenever,
then, a law exists for certain, and we doubt whether we have complied
with it, we can remove the doubt only by doing what is commanded; and
if the law forbids something, and we reasonably doubt that what we are
about to do might violate the law, we are bound not to perform such an
action; for every certain law requires a positively certain obedience.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
there may also arise in our minds doubts about the real existence of a
law, that is, about its promulgation or its obligation in a certain
case. There is one: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">he doubts whether a certain war is just. This doubt
(called a speculative doubt) brings on another, whether it is lawful to
take part in such a war. This last doubt is called a practical doubt,
because there is question about doing something that may be against a
certain law. To act under such a practical doubt is, as we have said
above, to become guilty of sin.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
order not to expose ourselves to the danger of committing sin, we must
be morally certain that what we are doing is lawful. This certainty,
however need not be such as to exclude even every speculative doubt.
For instance, one doubts whether the dish which is placed before him on
a Friday is not flesh-meat. So far, this doubt is but a speculative
doubt, suggesting the question as to whether or not this particular
case comes under the law of abstinence. But should he before whom the
dish is placed not wish to order another dish, the practical doubt
arises whether it is lawful for him to eat a dish which may be
forbidden by the law of abstinence. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">It is evident that this person, if
he is conscientious, is not allowed to eat the dish before he is
morally sure that the eating of it is not forbidden by the law of
abstinence.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What,
then, is he to do if he cannot find out whether the dish is real
flesh-meat or not? whether the law of abstinence in this case is
binding on him or not? Many such cases may occur, in which we entertain
speculative doubts whether a law exists for such a case, or such a
person, or under such a circumstance of time or place, and we may not
be able to decide whether the law exists or not. But from the fact that
such a speculative doubt continues, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">it does not follow that we can
leave the matter alone and act as we please.</span> Such conduct would, no
doubt, expose us to the danger of violating a law that may really
exist. To acquire moral certainty for the lawfulness of our action, we
must see whether there are reasons which prove that a law really
exists, or does not exist, in this or that case.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
in trying to find out such reasons, we may find some that may seem to
prove the real existence of the law, whilst others may seem to prove
that the law does not exist. It may happen that the reasons <i>pro</i> and <i>con.</i> are equally or almost equally strong, and it may also happen that the reasons <i>pro</i> are considerably stronger than the reasons <i>con.</i>, or <i>vice versa.</i> Those
reasons which are considerably stronger may increase in strength and
weight (become so strong and weighty) so much as to make those opposed
to them sink in weight and strength. Now the question arises, how
weighty these reasons must be to induce us to judge with moral
certainty that the law is uncertain and, consequently, is not binding.
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">If the reasons proving that the law does not exist are as strong or
nearly as strong as those which prove the existence of the law, then we
have moral certainty, says St. Alphonsus, to believe that the law does
not exist;</span> but if the reasons proving the existence of the law are
considerably stronger than those proving the contrary, then we ought to
believe that the law exists.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
teaching is undoubtedly quite reasonable. In business matters,<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> every
sensible man adheres to that one of two opinions which is best
grounded</span>. In scientific matters, those opinions which are but little
grounded are also but little cared for.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From
what has been said, it is easy to understand what rigorism and laxism
is. It is rigorism to pronounce in favor of the existence of the law in
spite of very weighty reasons proving the contrary. This doctrine was
condemned by Alexander VIII. Those who teach such a doctrine are called <i>strict Tutiorists</i>.
It is still rigorism, though not quite so bad, to maintain that we must
pronounce in favor of the existence of the law, even if the opinion
that the law does not exist is better grounded. Those adhering to this
opinion are called <i>less strict Tutiorists</i>. Finally, it
is still rigorism to maintain that the reasons proving that the law
does not exist must be considerably stronger than those proving the
contrary, in order to pronounce in favor of liberty or the
non-existence of the law. Those adhering to this opinion are called
Probabiliorists. But each of these three opinions must be rejected. No
sensible man adopts and goes by such opinions in his daily business
transactions and social intercourse. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">No man of learning rejects, in
scientific questions, the best grounded opinions and arguments. Why
should we not act in the same way in discussing and deciding moral
cases? What more unreasonable than the contrary?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Laxism
is to maintain that the law does not exist, even if the reasons to
prove the contrary should be considerably stronger and much weightier.
It is self-evident that such an opinion is very lax, as it favors
liberty beyond what is reasonable. It is true, those adhering to this
opinion say, that in theory they only teach that the law does not
exist, when there is a solid reason for its non-existence. They forget,
however, that a real solid reason is no longer such, when considerably
more solid reasons are opposed to it. They only care for having a solid
reason for the non-existence of the law, and leave alone the more solid
reasons which prove its existence. It is clear that, in discussing the
question of the existence or non-existence of the law, the reasons <i>pro</i> and <i>con.</i> must
be carefully weighed and compared, and if the reasons proving the
existence of the law, are considerably weightier than the reasons
proving its non-existence, the latter are no longer solid reasons.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Such
is the doctrine of St. Alphonsus. "Those," he says, "who defend and
adhere to the contrary opinion are called laxists. Their lax opinion is
to be rejected in practice. Auctores elapsi saeculi quasi communiter
tenuere opinionem: `Ut quis possit licite sequi opinionem etiam minus
probabilem pro libertate (stantem), licet opinio pro lege sit certe
probabilior.' Hane sententiam nos dicimus esse <i>laxam et licite amplecti non posse.</i>"
(In Apologia, 1769, et Homo Apost. de consc. n. 31.) In a letter, dated
July 8, 1768, St. Alphonsus writes: "Librorum censor D. Delegatum adiit
ipsique retulit, se opus Meum Morale legisse ejusque sententias sanas
invenisse, et <i>quod attinet systema circa probabilem, me
non sequi systema Jesuitarum, sed ipsis adversari; Jesuitae enim
admittunt minus probabilem, sed ego eam reprobo.</i>" And in another
letter, dated May 25, 1767, St. Alphonsus writes: "Formidarem
confessiones excipiendi licentiam concedere alicui ex nostris, qui
sequi vellet opinionem certo cognitam ut minus probabilem."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
more ignorant or the more stupid people are, the less doubts they have.

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
lax conscience is one which, for a light reason, judges to be lawful
what is very unlawful, or considers a sin which is grievous only as a
venial sin; in other words, a lax conscience is one which without
sufficient reason favors liberty, either in order to escape the law, or
to diminish the gravity of guilt. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">A lax conscience is generally the
consequence of the neglect of prayer, of lukewarmness of the soul, of
too much care and anxiety about temporal things, of familiar
intercourse with the wicked, of the habit of sinning which destroys
horror of sin, of a soft, tepid life, which enervates the heart and
makes it quite worldly. Such a conscience is most dangerous, for it
leads the soul to the broad road to hell.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
remedies for such a conscience are: frequent recourse to prayer,
spiritual exercises, pious reading and meditation, frequent confession,
conversation with the pious, and avoiding the company of the wicked.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
why speak here of a lax conscience and indicate the means to correct
it? Is it not very imprudent to do so? Is it not to suggest indirectly
the idea that we allude to S. O. and to the Rev. Editor of the <i>B. U.</i> and <i>T.</i>? But who could even dream of such nonsense.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
man's conscience is said to be perplexed, when he is placed between two
actions which appear bad. There is a person: She is bound to wait upon
a sick neighbor on Sunday: she thinks that it is a sin to leave that
sick person, in order to go and hear Mass, and, at the same time, it
appears to her that it is also a sin to stay away from Mass, in order
to wait upon her sick friend. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Now, if the conscience, of a person is
thus perplexed, he must, as far as possible, take counsel of prudent
men. If he cannot consult such, and is still under necessity of acting,
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">he must choose what appears the lesser evil, and in so doing, he will
not commit sin.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Self sufficient teachers of Catholic theology never suffer from a perplexed conscience. They say</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"A
scruple," says St. Alphonsus, "is a vain fear of sinning, which arises
from false, groundless reasons." There is a person: for frivolous
reasons he imagines that something is forbidden that is not forbidden,
or that something is commanded which is not commanded. So he is
disturbed, and runs into doubts without any just foundation and
reasonable motives. He sinks into the state of a scrupulous conscience,
which is a continual torment to the soul itself, and often also to her
spiritual director. Any one who has read the <i>Queer Explanation</i> will be convinced that neither the most prominent priest of the U. S., nor the Rev. Editor of the <i>B. U.</i> and <i>T.</i> ever
caused any annoyance and torment to his spiritual director. Would, they
were the spiritual directors of all scrupulous persons! What a blessing
would not this be for them; by a few words of such unscrupulous
directors they would be entirely delivered from their unspeakable
torment! What a blessing for all Catholic and Protestant readers of the <i>B. U.</i> and <i>T.</i> to know that the Rev. Editor has never any scruples to print articles like the <i>Queer Explanation</i>.
They feel that they can read them without scruples, because they are
written and printed without scruples, and are calculated to confirm
Catholics as well as Protestants <i>in their faith</i>!</div>

The erroneous or false conscience.">edit</a>]</span>8. The erroneous or false conscience.</h5>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
conscience is erroneous or false when it represents to us an action as
good which is really bad. For instance: every one knows that a wilful
lie is a sin. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Now, there is one who sees his neighbor in danger of
death, and knows that by telling a lie he can save the life of his
neighbor. He feels certain that such a lie cannot be a sin, and that he
would sin against charity if he were not to tell it.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
conscience is also erroneous when it represents what is really good as
something really bad. For example: what can be better and holier than
the Catholic religion? And yet there may be found a non-Catholic who,
from having been brought up in heresy, is fully persuaded from boyhood
that we Catholics impugn and attack the word of God, that we are
idolaters, pestilent deceivers, and, therefore are to be shunned as
pestilences.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Another
instance: The conscience of S. O. represented to him his own
explanation of Father Muller's explanation, which is really bad for
many reasons, as a <i>good action</i>, and it represented to
him Father Muller's explanation, which is really good, as something
that is really bad, and so, from his <i>erroneous</i> conscience, he declared publicly that Father Muller had misrepresented Catholic Theology, and dishonored the Holy Name of God!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
such errors of conscience are either culpable or inculpable. They are
culpable, if they spring from voluntary ignorance, and they are
inculpable, if they spring from involuntary ignorance.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Ignorance is <i>voluntary</i> or <i>vincible</i>,
when one in doing something has certain doubts about the moral goodness
or badness of his action, and about the obligation of examining whether
his action is really good or bad, and, nevertheless, does not take the
necessary means to find out whether what he is about to do is right or
wrong. It is, for instance, a law to profess the true religion in order
to be saved. Now, suppose there is a non-Catholic. A sermon on the true
religion, which he heard, or a book which he read, or a conversation
which he had with a friend on this subject, or the conversion of a
wealthy or learned man from Protestantism to the Catholic faith, or any
other good reason whatever, makes him doubt about the truth of his
religion.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Such
a one is obliged in conscience to seek for light and instruction, if he
can. If he cannot do so immediately, he must firmly purpose to procure
information, as soon as he can, from those who can give it in a
satisfactory manner, and must be determined to renounce his error, if
he finds out that he is living in a false religion. Meanwhile, he must
beg of God to enlighten him and enable him to do what seems best to him
in the present circumstances. If he, however, neglects to seek
instruction when he can and ought to do so; if he continues not to heed
his religious scruples about his salvation in Protestantism; if he is
even afraid of learning the truth, or, if he knows it, contradicts it
against his conscience and obscures it every day by unnatural crimes,</span>—
ah! then the signs are not hard to read! Such a Protestant sins against
his conscience, against the Holy Ghost. He is a tree, black and dead in
the middle of summer. He is fit only for the fire. If he is lost, he is
lost through his own fault.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Ignorance
is involuntary, or invincible, if one, in doing something, has not the
least reasonable doubt about the goodness of the action. To illustrate:
an heir enters upon an estate which formerly was acquired unjustly by
his ancestors; but at the time when he took possession of it, he had
not the least doubt about the just and lawful acquisition of the
estate. In this he is in error, but the error is involuntary, and,
therefore, not culpable. After some years, however, he discovers the
flaw in his title, and still continues in the possession of the estate.
From that time, his conscience becomes voluntarily and criminally
erroneous, contrary to good faith and the dictates of a good conscience.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"If
your error is voluntary," says St. Thomas Aquinas, "and <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">you do not do
all you can to find out the truth, you are answerable for your conduct
in following a false conscience.</span>" Such was the conscience of the
persecutors of the Church, of whom Jesus Christ says: "Yea, the hour
cometh, that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth a service
to God." (John, xvi. 2. ) When, in arguing about something, one of the
premises is false, the conclusion must necessarily be false. In like
manner, all the acts of a conscience, whose error is voluntary or
vincible, are bad and partake in the evil result of voluntary
ignorance. If you are willfully ignorant of what you are bound in
conscience to know, you are responsible for all your actions. Such is
the conscience of many sinners, who wish to be ignorant of their duties
in order to live without restraint. "They say to God," says Job,
"depart from us, we do not desire the knowledge of thy ways." (Job,
xxi. 14.) A conscience continuing thus is to act in a known voluntary
error, becomes quite criminal in the sight of God. This is the most
lamentable and most unhappy state into which a soul can fall; for this
kind of conscience drives the sinner into all kinds of crimes,
disorders, and excesses, and becomes to him the source of blindness of
the understanding, of hardness of heart, and finally, of eternal
reprobation, if he perseveres in this state to the end of his life.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Witness
the writer of the infidel Press. With him it has become fashionable to
get rid of religion and conscience. A man who wishes to gratify his
evil desires, without shame, without remorse, says: "There is no God;
there is no hell; there is no hereafter; there is only this present
life, and all in it is good." He looks upon conscience as a creation of
man. He calls its dictates an imagination. He says that the notion of
guiltiness, which that dictate enforces, is simply irrational.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When
he advocates the rights of conscience, he, of course, in no sense means
the rights of the Creator, nor the duty to him, in thought and deed, of
the creature; he means only the right of thinking, speaking, writing,
and eating according to his judgment or his humor, without any thought
of God at all. He does not even pretend to go by any moral rule, but he
demands what he thinks is an American's prerogative, to be his own
master in all things, and to profess what he pleases, asking no one's
leave, and accounting any one unutterably impertinent who dares to say
a word against his going to perdition, if he likes it, in his own way.
With such a man the right of conscience means the very right and
freedom of conscience to dispense with conscience, to ignore a
Law-giver and Judge, to be independent of unseen obligations; to be
free to take up any or no religion, to take up this or that, and let it
go again, to boast of being above all religions, and to be an impartial
critic of each of them; in a word, conscience is, with that man,
nothing else than the right of self-will. Such is the idea which the
men of the infidel Press have of conscience. Their rule and measure of
right and wrong is utility, or expedience, or the happiness of the
greatest number, or State convenience, or fitness, order, a
long-sighted selfishness, a desire to be consistent with one's self.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
all these false conceptions of conscience will be no excuse before God
for not having known better. The idea that there is no law or rule over
our thoughts, desires, words and actions, and that, without sin or
error, we may think, desire, say, and do what we please, especially in
matters of religion is a downright absurdity.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"When
God gave to man a free will," says St. Thomas, "he intended that man
should freely choose what is good and reject what is evil, in order
thus to gain merit — a privilege which is denied to beasts, for they
blindly follow their instincts. Who can be foolish enough to think that
God, in giving man a free will dispensed him from the observance of his
laws? God is infinite goodness, justice, wisdom, mercy, and purity, and
he impressed on man the notion of goodness, justice, mercy, purity, in
order that, as he himself hates all wickedness, injustice, errors, and
impurity, so man also should do the same. Hence it is impossible that
God can concede to man a license to commit acts utterly repugnant to
the divine nature, and also repugnant to the nature of man, who is made
in the likeness and image of God.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Our
use of liberty, therefore, must be consistent with reason; it must be
based upon a hatred of all that is evil, unjust, unkind, false, or
impure; and upon a strong desire to attain to all that is good, true,
and perfect.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Who,
then, are the worst enemies of the liberty of man? First, that
ignorance and error which prevent him from distinguishing clearly that
which is just and right from that which is evil and false. Secondly,
his passions, which keep him from embracing the good which he knows and
sees, and induce him to desire that which he knows to be bad. Thirdly,
any powers or authorities external to man, which prevent him from doing
that which he knows to be good and which he desires to do, or force him
to do that which he sees to be unlawful, and which he shrinks from
doing. Fourthly, all those who deny and pervert religious and moral
truths. What wickedness, what impiety to sneer at what is good, in the
present and in the future, for the intellect and will of man! How
detestable are they who entangle men in the subtle webs of sophisms,
and expel religion and morality from the hearts of men, who instil
doubts and disputes about social truth, which is the only stable
foundation on which nations and empires can tranquilly repose! Most
execrable men, those who assume the right to insult the Lord and to
destroy man."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
After
the devil has used these men for his own diabolical purposes, he will
cast the vile wretches, like worn-out brooms, into the fire of hell.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The privilege that bad men have in evil, Is that they go unpunished to the devil."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
hell of the wicked begins even in this world, and it continues
throughout all eternity in the next. Hence St. Paul says: "Tribulation
and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil." (Rom. ii. 9.)
"By what things," says Holy Scripture, "a man sinneth, by the same he
is also tormented." (Wisd. xi. 17.) "He who speaks (against his
conscience) whatever he pleases, will hear in his heart what he does
not like to hear," says Comicus.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"He that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts, Benighted walks under the midday-sun, Himself is his own dungeon."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
order to avoid such great evils, we must rectify our conscience when it
is vincibly erroneous — that is, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">when we are confused with doubts and
suspicions about the lawfulness or unlawfulness of an action which we
are about to perform; we must try, by examination, consultation, and
employing the ordinary means, to find out whether we are right or wrong
in what we are about to undertake.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
as long as a man's conscience is invincibly erroneous, he must follow
it. "His will is then not in fault," says St. Thomas. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">No doubt, a
person who, from an invincibly erroneous conscience, believes that
charity obliges him to tell a lie, if thereby he can save the life of
his neighbor, performs a meritorious act, and he would sin against
charity if he did not tell the lie.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Conscience,
then, is that faithful inward monitor, that warns every man when he is
about to offend God and leave the right road to heaven. Whenever we are
on the point of desiring, saying, or doing something that is against
God's law, conscience says to us on the part of God: "It is not lawful
for thee." (Matt. xiv. 4.) No, thou art not allowed to perform that
action, to speak that word, to entertain that desire, to read that
book, to frequent that company, to go to that place of sin, to make
that unlawful bargain.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
If,
in spite of these remonstrances of conscience, we still proceed, it
rises up against us and cries out: "What hast thou done?" (Kings, iii.
24.) Thou hast sinned; thou hast offended God, by transgressing his law
and going against his voice, which warned thee not to do so; thou art
guilty in his sight, and deserving to be punished according to the law
of his justice. It was his conscience that made David say: "My sin is
always before me." (Ps. lxxx. 5.) It was his conscience that made Judas
cry out: "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." (Matt. xxvii. 4.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Thus
every sinner is accountable for his conduct to his conscience, which,
as Menander says, is his God. It is by means of conscience that God
judges man. Conscience, as the organ and instrument of God, pronounces,
in his name, the sentence of condemnation; it passes, under his
sovereign authority, the decree of his divine justice. In this sense it
is said that we ourselves are our first judges, and that the first
tribunal to which we are cited is our own conscience, without being
able to escape from its decree. Yes, this judgement is just, it is
dreadful, it is without appeal. In pronouncing sentence, conscience is
at the same time witness against us and its deposition is so much the
more dreadful as it is interior, clear, and personal to us.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Ah!
how unfortunate is it to be condemned by ourselves, and to have nothing
to oppose to the condemnation! And what, indeed, can be opposed when
our own conscience is the accuser, witness, and judge? Therefore, it
only remains for conscience to assume the character of executioner, and
to exercise its vengeance upon us. Dreadful charge, which is more
terrible than all the rest! It punishes us. God intrusts the interest
of his justice and revenge in the hands of conscience; and in how many
ways does it not discharge this dreadful office against the sinner
after his sin? — By those racking remorses which tear him, as it were,
to pieces; by the gnawing worm which eats him up; by the constant
remembrance of his guilt, which follows him everywhere; by the fears,
terrors, and continual alarms in which he lives. If he is visited by
illness, if the least infirmity attacks him, death incessantly presents
itself to his eyes. If thunders roar, if the earth quakes, if any
unexpected accident happens, he believes that the hand of God is lifted
up against him, fearing every instant to be swallowed up. Alas! can
there be any more dreadful torturer, any more cruel executioner, any
more severe minister of vengeance for the sinner than his own
conscience! What more torturing for Cain than the bloody spectre of his
brother Abel which presented itself continually to him? What more
frightful for the impious Balthasar than the sight of the hand which
appeared on the wall and wrote the sentence of condemnation upon it?
What more horrifying for Antiochus than the picture of the temple of
Jerusalem which he had profaned? What more alarming and terrifying for
Henry VIII., King of England, than to behold, on his death-bed, the
legions of monks whom he had so cruelly treated?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
And
why were these men thus tortured? It was because conscience, whose
rights they had trampled upon, sought atonement by setting the
remembrance of their crimes continually before them.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Thus conscience pleads her cause within the breast; Though long rebelled against, not yet suppressed."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No wonder that men sometimes commit suicide. They cannot bear the remorse of conscience, and so they try to find rest in death.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
such a remorse of conscience, though a punishment, is at the same time
a grace for the sinner. It warns him to enter into himself, by sincere
repentance, to ask pardon of God, and promise amendment of life, and be
saved. But if a sinner does not experience such a remorse he is, no
doubt, in a most lamentable condition. The want of this grace forbodes
a certain reprobation for all eternity. Now, this voice of conscience,
which strikes terror into the souls of the wicked, fill the just with
peace and happiness.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
is a great sinner: he is very sorry for all his sins. He firmly
purposes amendment of life; he makes a good confession. See him after
confession. His countenance is radiant with beauty. His step has become
again light. His soul reflects upon his features the holy joy with
which it is inebriated. He smiles upon those whom he meets, and every
one sees that he is happy. He trembles now no longer when he lifts his
eyes to heaven. He hopes, he loves. A supernatural strength animates
him. He feels himself burning with zeal to do good. A new sun has risen
upon his life, and every thing in him puts on the freshness of youth.
And why? Because his conscience has thrown off a load that bent him to
the earth. It tells him that now he is once more the companion of
angels; that he has again entered that sweet alliance with God, whom he
can now justly call his Father; that he is reinstated in his dignity of
a child of God. He is no longer afraid of God's justice, of death, and
of hell.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
must, then, always follow the voice or dictates of conscience, for
"this is the keeping of the commandments," says the Holy Scripture; but
"whatever is contrary to conscience, is sinful." (Rom. xiv. 23.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"What
rule," says St. Thomas Aquinas, "can a man follow, unless reason, which
is the imperative voice of conscience? <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">He who does not appeal to his
conscience on all occasions can have no rule of conduct. He is always
in doubt and perplexity, wavering between vice and virtue, not knowing
to which side to turn. He is like a vessel whose helm is lost in a
violent storm."</span></div>

6. HAVING EXPLAINED WHAT CONSCIENCE IS, AND THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
CONSCIENCE, WE CAN NOW EASILY SHOW WHO ARE NOT GUILTY OF THE SIN OF
HERESY.[Formal Heretics and Materal Heretics--both outside the Church]</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Not
guilty of the sin of heresy are all those who, without any fault of
theirs, were brought up in a sect of Protestantism, and who never had
an opportunity of knowing better. This class of Protestants are called
invincibly or inculpably ignorant of the true religion, or material
heretics.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
let us see what the Rev. Alfred Young, a Paulist Father of New York,
says of material heretics, in an article which he had published in the <i>Buffalo Union and Times</i> on
March 22, 1888. He says: "He was baptized in his infancy, and was then
a Catholic child as good as any other Catholic child." -- This is quite
correct, and if he had died before he came to the use of reason, he
would have gone straight to heaven.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But,
after he had come to the years of understanding, he was brought up in
heresy; but, according to his statement, he was only a <i>material</i>, not a <i>formal</i> heretic.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
It can hardly be doubted that, amongst Protestants, many are only material heretics. <a data-darkreader-inline-color="" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_%25281913%2529/Johann_Georg_Reiffenstuel&source=gmail&ust=1595989852687000&usg=AFQjCNGHJ7sbU84XHlefs1kul02uoc01NA" href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_%281913%29/Johann_Georg_Reiffenstuel" rel="nofollow" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #679fd5; color: #3366bb; padding-right: 13px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_(1913)/Johann_Georg_Reiffenstuel">Reiffenstuel</a> gives this as his opinion regarding great numbers amongst the mass of heretics. The same is the opinion of <a data-darkreader-inline-color="" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_%25281913%2529/Gustave_Xavier_Lacroix_de_Ravignan&source=gmail&ust=1595989852687000&usg=AFQjCNEZ7477xjz-ClZglzY8y_sviw47Yw" href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_%281913%29/Gustave_Xavier_Lacroix_de_Ravignan" rel="nofollow" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #679fd5; color: #3366bb; padding-right: 13px; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank" title="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Catholic_Encyclopedia_%281913%29/Gustave_Xavier_Lacroix_de_Ravignan">Lacroix</a>,
and several other authors cited by him, with regard to the Protestants
of Germany; and what is true of them is equally true of Protestants in
other countries. "Some of them," he says, "are so simple, or so
prejudiced by the teaching of their ministers, that they are persuaded
of the truth of their own religion, and at the same time so sincere and
conscientious, that, if they knew it to be false, they would at once
embrace ours. Such as these are not formal, but only material heretics;
and that there are many such is testified by numbers of confessors in
Germany and authors of the greatest experience."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"What is most deplorable in their case," says Lacroix, "is that, should they fall into any other mortal sin, as may <i>very easily</i> happen
to such persons, (because without special grace it is impossible to
keep the commandments,) they are deprived of the grace of the principal
sacraments, and are commonly lost, not on account of material heresy,
but on account of other sins they have committed, and from which they
are not freed by the sacrament of penance, which does not exist amongst
them; nor by an act of contrition or perfect charity, which they
commonly do not attend to, or think of eliciting (to say nothing of the
very great difficulty such men would have in doing so, thinking they
are justified by faith alone and trust in Christ; and by this accursed
confidence they are miserably lost.)" (Lacroix, Lib. ii. n. 94.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
It is well to distinguish here between two classes of Protestants.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
first is that of those who either live among Catholics or have
Catholics living in the same country with them; who know there are such
persons, and often hear of them. The second regards those who have no
such knowledge, and who seldom or never hear Catholics spoken of,
except in a false and odious light.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
read in Holy Scripture that Almighty God, at different times, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">scattered
the Jews among the heathen and performed great miracles in favor of his
chosen people. He thus wished the Gentiles to come to the knowledge of
the true God.</span> In like manner, Almighty God has scattered the Roman
Catholics, the children of his Church, among the heathens of our time
and the Protestants. He has never failed to perform miracles in the
Catholic Church. Who has not heard of the many great miracles performed
in France, and elsewhere, by the use of the miraculous water of
Lourdes? Who has not witnessed the wonderful protection of the Catholic
Church? Who has not read the truths of the Catholic Church, even in
Protestant newspapers? Who has not heard of the conversion of so many
wealthy and learned Protestants to the Catholic Church? The Lord, who
wishes that all should come to the knowledge of the true religion,
makes use of these and other means to cause doubts to arise in the
souls of those who are separated from his Church. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Hence it is, as
Bishop Hay says, next to the impossible for those Protestants who live
among Catholics to be in a state of invincible ignorance.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Such
doubts as to their salvation in Protestantism are, for our separated
brethren, a great grace, as Almighty God, by these doubts, begins to
lead them to the way of salvation, by obliging them to seek in all
sincerity for light and instruction. But those who do not heed these
doubts remain culpably erroneous in a matter of the greatest
importance; and to die in this state is to die in the state of
reprobation; it is to be lost forever through one's own fault, as we
have seen above.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
let us remember here, that "it is a mistake," as Bishop Hay well says,
"to suppose that a formal doubt is necessary to render one's ignorance
of his duty voluntary and culpable; it is enough that there be
sufficient reason for doubting, though from his unjust prejudices,
obstinacy, pride, or other evil dispositions of the heart, he hinder
these reasons from exciting a formal doubt in his mind. Saul had no
doubt when he offered sacrifice before the prophet Samuel came; on the
contrary, he was persuaded that he had the strongest reasons for doing
so, yet he was condemned for that very action, and himself and his
family rejected by Almighty God. The Jews believed that they were
acting well when they put our Saviour to death; nay, their high priest
declared in full council that it was expedient for the good and safety
of the nation that they should do so. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">They were grossly mistaken,
indeed, and sadly ignorant of their duty; but their ignorance was
culpable, and they were severely condemned for what they did, though it
was done in ignorance. And, indeed, all who act from a false and
erroneous conscience are highly blamable for having such a conscience</span>,
though they have never entertained any formal doubt. Nay, their not
having such a doubt when they have just and solid grounds for doubting,
rather renders them the more guilty, because it shows greater
corruption of the heart, greater depravity of disposition. A person
brought up in a false faith, which the Scriptures calls <i>sects of perdition, doctrines of devils, perverse things, lies, and hypocrisy</i>—and
who has heard of the true Church of Christ, which condemns all these
sects, and sees their divisions and dissensions—has always before his
eyes the strongest reason to doubt the safety of his own state. If he
makes any examination with sincere dispositions of heart, he must be
convinced that he is in the wrong; and the more he examines, the more
clearly will he see it, —for this plain reason, that it is <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">simply
impossible that </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">false doctrine, lies</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">, and </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">hypocrisy</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> should
ever be supported by solid arguments sufficient to satisfy a reasonable
person, who sincerely seeks the truth and begs light from God to direct
him in the search.</span> Hence, if such a person never doubt, but go on, as
is supposed, <i>bona fide</i>, in his own way,
notwithstanding the strong grounds of doubt which he daily has before
his eyes, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">this evidently shows either that he is supinely negligent in
the concern of his soul, or that his heart is totally blinded by
passion and prejudice.</span> There were many such persons among the Jews and
heathens in the time if the apostles, who, notwithstanding the splendid
light of truth which these holy preachers everywhere displayed, and
which was the most powerful reason for leading them to doubt of their
superstitions, were so far from having such doubts, that they thought
by killing the apostles they did God a service. Whence did this arise?
St. Paul himself informs us. "We renounce," says he, "the hidden things
of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the Word of
God, but, by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every
man's conscience in the sight of God." Here he describes the strange
light of the truth which he preached; yet this light was hidden to
great numbers, and he immediately gives the reason: "And if our Gospel
be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost; in whom the God of this
world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the
Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not
shine upon them." (II. Cor. iv. 2.) Behold the real cause of their
incredulity: they are so enslaved to the things of this world by the
depravity of their heart, and the devil so blinds them, that they
cannot see the light; but ignorance arising from such depraved
dispositions is a guilty, a voluntary ignorance, and therefore never
can excuse them.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">If
this kind of material heretics, then, are lost, they are not lost on
account of their heresy, which for them was no sin, but on account of
the grievous sins that they committed against their conscience. </span><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">"For
whosoever have sinned without the law," says St. Paul, "shall perish
without the law." (Rom. ii. 10.)</span> The great Apostle wishes to say: Those
of the heathens who do not know anything of the Christian Law, but sin
against the natural Law, their conscience, will be lost, not on account
of the sin of infidelity; which was no sin for those who were
invincibly ignorant of the Christian Law, but on account of the great
sin which they committed against the voice of' God speaking to them by
their conscience. The same must be said of those Protestants who are
inculpably ignorant of the Catholic religion, but sin grievously
against their conscience.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"God,"
says St. Thomas, "enlightens every man who comes into the world, and
produces in all mankind the light of nature and of grace, as the sun
does the light which imparts color and animation to all objects. But if
any obstacle prevented its rays from falling on a certain object, would
you attribute that defect to the sun? Or if you closed up all your
windows and made your room quite dark, could you say the sun is the
cause of that darkness? It is the same with the man who, by grievous
sins, closes the eyes of his understanding to the light of heaven; for
he is then enveloped in profound obscurity and walks in moral darkness.
A scholar, who wishes to learn a more sublime science or doctrine, must
have a brighter and more comprehensive conception, in order to
understand clearly his master. In like manner, man, in order to be more
capable of receiving divine inspirations, must have a particular
disposition for them. "The Lord God hath opened my ear, and I do not
resist, neither do I withdraw from Him.' (Isai. i. 5.) Hence all vices
are contrary to the gifts of the Holy Ghost, because they are in
opposition to divine inspiration; and they are also contrary both to
God and to reason, for reason receives its lights and inspirations from
God. Therefore he who grievously offends God, and is, on this account,
not enlightened to know and believe the truths of salvation, must blame
himself for his spiritual misfortune and punishment. Of these St. Paul
says: In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of
unbelievers, that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who
is the image of God, should not shine unto them. (Cor. iv. 4.) `Blind
the heart of this people, and shut their ears and eyes.' (Isai. vi.
10.)"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Be
it also remembered that the light of faith is withheld from those
Protestants who resemble the Pharisees. "They form to themselves," says
Bishop Hay, "a great idea of their good works, not observing the vast
difference there is between natural good moral actions, and
supernatural Christian good works, which alone will bring a man to
heaven. However corrupted our nature is by sin, yet there are few or
none of the seed of Adam, who have not certain good natural
dispositions, some being more inclined to one virtue, some to another.
Thus some are of a humane, benevolent disposition; some tender-hearted
and compassionate towards others in distress; some just and upright in
their dealings; some temperate and sober; some mild and patient; some
also have natural feelings of devotion, and of reverence for the
Supreme Being. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Now, all such good natural dispositions of themselves
are far from being Christian virtues, and are altogether incapable of
bringing a man to heaven.</span> They indeed make him who has them agreeable
to men, and procure him esteem and regard from those with whom he
lives; but they are of no avail before God with regard to eternity. To
be convinced of this, we need only observe that good natural
dispositions of this kind are found in Mahometans, Jews, and heathens,
as well as among Christians; yet no Christian can suppose that a
Mahometan, Jew, or heathen, who dies in that state, will obtain the
kingdom of heaven by means of these virtues.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Pharisees, among the people of God, were remarkable for many such
virtues; they had a great veneration for the law of God; they made open
profession of piety and devotion; gave large alms to the poor; fasted
and prayed much; were assiduous in all the public observances of
religion; were remarkable for their strict observance of the Sabbath,
and had an abhorrence of all profanation of the holy name of God; yet
Jesus Christ himself expressly declares: "Except your righteousness
exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the
kingdom of heaven." (Matt. v. 20.) We are told that one of their number
went up to the temple to pray, who was, in the eyes of the world, a
very good man, led an innocent life, free from those grosser crimes
which are so common among men, fasted twice a week, and gave tithes of
all he possessed; yet Christ himself assures us that he was condemned
in the sight of God. All this proves that none of the above good
dispositions of nature are capable in themselves of bringing any man to
heaven. And the reason is, because "there is no other name given to men
under heaven by which we can be saved, but the name of Jesus only,"
(Acts iv. 10); therefore, no good works whatsoever, performed through
the good dispositions of nature only, can ever be crowned by God with
eternal happiness. To obtain this glorious reward, our good works must
be sanctified by the blood of Jesus, and become Christian virtues. Now,
if we search the Holy Scriptures, we find two conditions absolutely
required to make our good works agreeable to God, and conducive to our
salvation. <i>First</i>, that we be united to Jesus Christ
by true faith, which is the root and foundation of all Christian
virtues; for St. Paul expressly says, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">"Without faith it is impossible
to please God." (Heb. xi. 6.). Observe the word </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">impossible</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">; he does not say it is difficult, but that it is </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">impossible</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">.
Let, therefore, a man have ever so many good natural dispositions, and
be as charitable, devout, and mortified as the Pharisees were, yet if
he have not true faith in Jesus Christ, he cannot enter into the
kingdom of heaven. </span>They refused to believe in him, and therefore all
their works were good for nothing as to their salvation; and unless our
righteousness exceed theirs in this point, as Christ himself assures
us, we shall never enter into his heavenly kingdom. But even true faith
itself, however necessary, is not sufficient alone to make our good
works available to salvation; for it is necessary, in the <i>second</i> place,
that we be in charity with God, in his friendship and grace, without
which even true faith itself will never save us. To be convinced of
this, let us only give ear to St. Paul, who says, "Though I should have
all faith, so as to remove mountains, though I should distribute all my
goods to feed the poor, though I should give my body to be burnt, and
have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." (I Cor. xiii. 2.) <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">So that,
let a man be ever so peaceable, regular, inoffensive, and religious in
his way, charitable to the poor, and what else you please, yet if he
have not the true faith of Jesus Christ, and be not in charity with
God, all his apparent virtues go for nothing</span>; it is impossible for him
to please God by them; and if he live and die in that state, they will
profit him nothing. Hence it is manifest that those who die in a false
religion, however unexceptionable may be their moral conduct in the
eyes of men, yet, as they have not the true faith in Christ, and are
not in charity with him, they are not in the way of salvation; for
nothing can avail us in Christ but "faith that works by charity." (Gal.
v. 6.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Let us see now what the Rev. A. Young says of the other class of inculpably ignorant Protestants.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In his article "Have Protestants divine faith," published March 22, 1888, in the <i>Buffalo Catholic Union and Times</i>, the Rev. A. Young says:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Protestants
can have divine faith. That it is possible for some Protestants to have
divine faith is a fact I am as certain of as I am that I have such
faith myself. I was once a Protestant, and <i>my faith was just as truly and theologically divine, as it is today.</i> I
never had human faith, and when I explain myself I honestly believe
that a great number of Protestants, could they read my words, would
say— 'You have stated my case exactly.'</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"That we may not be misled by any fanciful ideas or notions about what is <i>divine faith</i>, I will give at once the definition of it from the mouth of one of the greatest doctors of the Church—St. Thomas. He says: "<i>Ipsum credere</i> est
actus intellectus assentientis veritati divinae ex imperio voluntatis a
Deo motae per gratiam." (22., q. ii. art. 9.) `To believe is an act of
the intellect assenting to divine truth by command of the will moved by
the grace of God.' That is an exact definition of what my belief
(faith) was as a Protestant, and <i>in becoming a Catholic</i> IT UNDERWENT NO CHANGE, and <i>plainly could not undergo any.</i>"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When St. Thomas says, "<i>Ipsum, (i.e. Deum) credere, to believe God</i>,"
etc., he speaks of Catholics who have the true faith, as is evident
from all that precedes, especially from q. i., art. 10., in which he
says that it belongs especially to the Pope, whom Christ made the
visible head of his Church, to see to the arrangement and publication
of the symbol of faith. It is, therefore, to say the least, unwise for
the Rev. A. Young to apply to himself and other material heretics what
St. Thomas says only of the faith of Catholics; for he says expressly
that those who have not the true faith cannot make an act of faith as
it ought to be made, that is, in the manner determined by the true
faith. And what St. Thomas means by<i>"Ipsum credere, to believe God,"</i> he
tells us in q. v., art. 3, in which he says: "The formal object of
faith is the First Truth (that is, God himself) such as he is known
from Holy Scripture and from the doctrine of the Church, which
(doctrine) proceeds from the First Truth. Hence any one who does not
adhere to the infallible and divine rule of faith—to the <i>doctrine of the Church</i>,
which proceeds from the First Truth as made known in the Holy
Scripture, cannot have the habit of faith; but if he holds certain
truths of faith, he holds them <i>not by faith</i>, but by
some other reasons. But it is clear that he who adheres to the doctrine
of the Church as to the infallible rule of belief, assents to all that
the Church teaches; he, however, who chooses to believe some of those
truths which the Church teaches, and to reject others, instead of
adhering to the doctrine of the Church as the infallible rule of faith,
adheres only to his own private will or judgment.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Those
articles of faith in which a heretic does not err, he does not believe
in the same manner as a Catholic believes them; for a Catholic believes
them by unhesitatingly adhering to the First Truth (as made known in
Holy Scripture and in the doctrine of the Church), to do which he needs
the help of the habit of faith; <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">but a heretic does not hold certain
articles of faith by this infallible rule, but only by his own choice
and private judgment. He whose faith is not based upon the infallible
and divine rule of faith, has no true faith at all;</span> for he who does not
believe God in the way determined by the true faith, does not believe
God.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
cannot believe absolutely a divine truth proposed for our belief unless
we know that such a truth is proposed for our belief by an infallible
and divine authority; it is only then that both the intellect and the
will are infallibly directed to believe, and to adhere to the object of
faith—God and his revealed truths—as the principle end of man, on
account of which he assents to divine truths. As this infallible and
divine authority is found only in the Catholic Church, it is evident
that true acts of faith can be made only by him who adheres to this
authority. (Sum. 22 q. ii. art. ii., ad 3; 3, 22, q. iv., art. 5. As
the Rev. A. Young, when a Protestant, did not, and could not, have this
infallible and divine rule of faith, he did not, and could not,
according to the doctrine of St. Thomas make acts of divine faith. If
it is true, then, what he asserts, namely, "<i>that his faith underwent no change when he became a Catholic,</i>" it must be true also that he is a peculiar kind of a Catholic.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
That
the Rev. A. Young, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">as long as he was a Protestant, could not make acts
of divine faith in the manner determined by faith, is also evident from
the doctrine of St. Alphonsus.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
God begins the work of man's salvation, says St. Alphonsus, by working upon the soul <i>inwardly</i> and <i>outwardly</i>.
God works upon the soul inwardly by inspiring it first with the thought
of salvation. From the thought of salvation arises the desire of
salvation. The desire of salvation prepares the soul to comply with the
conditions of salvation. Now, the first condition of salvation is true,
divine faith. The beginning of true faith, then, is the desire thereof,
arising from the thought of salvation. The pious desire of faith,
however, is not as yet formal faith; it is but the good thought of
wishing to believe, which, as St. Augustine says, precedes belief.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
desire of salvation, inspired by Almighty God, must also be
accomplished by him. So he also works upon the soul outwardly. The most
usual means which he employs to work upon the soul outwardly and lead
it to the possession of the true faith is to give it an opportunity to
learn the truths of salvation from the Catholic Church. "Faith is from
hearing," says St. Paul. He then enlightens the intellect of man to see
the truths of salvation; he inclines the will to believe those truths
as coming to him from God, through the divine authority of his Church,
and to trust in God's faithfulness to his promises. He believes
especially that God pardons the repentant sinner and receives him into
his friendship on account of the merits of Jesus Christ. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">But in hearing
the sacred Law promulgated he perceives that he is a sinner, and
therefore fears the justice of God, which is provoked by his
iniquities. Having been cast down by this salutary shock, a feeling of
confidence in the infinite mercy of God presents itself and raises him
up.</span> He hopes that, in consideration of Christ's merits, God will pardon
him. Animated by this hope, he begins to love. This love leads him to
detest his sins, to repent of them, to repair them, as far as possible;
it makes him resolve to keep the commandments, and to become reconciled
with God by the means given by Him, that is, Baptism for unbaptized
persons, and the sacrament of Penance for those Christians who have
lost the grace of God.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Faith,
therefore, to be truly divine and saving, must be based upon the divine
Authority of God as invested in the Roman Catholic Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Without
a visible, infallible Head of the Church," says St. Alphonsus, "it
would be impossible to have an infallible rule of faith, whereby to
know with certainty what to believe and what to do. Hence he who is
separated from the Church and is not obedient to her has no infallible
rule of faith; he has no longer any criterion whereby he can know what
he has to believe and to do. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Without this divine authority of the
Church, neither the principles of divine revelation nor even those of
human reason have any support, because the utterances of the one as
well as those of the other will then be interpreted by every one as he
pleases;</span> and then every one can deny all the truths of faith—The Most
Holy Trinity, the Incarnation of Christ, heaven and hell, and whatever
else he chooses to deny. I, therefore, repeat: If the divine authority
of the Church and the obedience due to her are renounced, every error
will be endorsed and must be tolerated in others. This undeniable
argument made a Calvinist preacher renounce his errors." (Appendix to
his work, Council of Trent.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
St. Thomas, speaking of faith, says: "The virtue of faith consists
principally in submitting our intellect and will, with the help of
God's grace, to the divine authority of the true Church charged by
Jesus Christ to teach us what we must believe. He who does not follow
this rule of faith, has no true faith at all." The reason of this is
given above by St. Alphonsus; for how could we, without the Church,
know that God has revealed anything at all? How could we know what he
has revealed? How could we know the meaning of his revelations? How
could we know the written Word of God? <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">How could we know the meaning of
Holy Scripture? For Holy Scripture does not consist in the words, but
in the sense of the words.</span> How could we know the extent of the divine
revelations? For the extent of the divine revelations is greater than
that of Holy Scripture. So, without the divine authority of the Roman
Catholic Church, we can hold no revealed truth on divine authority; if
we hold any Catholic truths, we believe them only on human authority;
and such belief is no divine faith. Acts of divine faith, therefore,
consist in believing firmly what God tells us through the divine
authority of his Church. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">All heretics, formal as well as material, are
separated from this divine authority, and therefore even the acts of
faith made by material heretics are by no means acts of divine faith,
in spite of their inculpable ignorance of the divine authority of the
Church.</span> Suppose such a Protestant has counterfeit money in his
possession, which he innocently believes to be quite genuine, is his
money, from being counterfeit, changed into genuine money by his
inculpable ignorance in the matter. In like manner,<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> the acts of faith
made by a material heretic are counterfeit acts of faith, because they
are not based upon the authority of God, speaking through the authority
of his true Church. These acts are without a divine foundation.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
inculpable ignorance of this fundamental truth for true acts of faith
there is no power whatever to change counterfeit acts of faith into
divine acts of faith. All that can be said in favor of this kind of
heretics is that they may have the disposition for believing what is
right, and this disposition comes from God and prepares such
Protestants for receiving the gift of the true faith when they come to
know it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now let us suppose to be true what is impossible to be true, namely, that the act of faith made by a material heretic is a<i>divine</i> act
of faith, as the Rev. A. Young asserts, it is very wrong for him to say
that such an act of faith, as described by him, is, according to St.
Thomas, <i>meritorious</i>, which means, deserving of an
eternal reward in heaven. St. Thomas never said anything of the kind;
he says that an act of faith is meritorious only when it proceeds from,
and is united with, divine charity.—All good works, that are performed
by a person without being in the state of true divine charity, are dead
works.—If the Rev. Young gives the definition of faith given by St.
Thomas, why has he not given us St. Thomas's explanation of his
definition of faith?—A few lines after, St. Thomas says: "Charitate
superveniente actus fidei fit meritorius per charitatem." When divine
charity becomes joined to faith, the act of faith becomes meritorious.
When St. Thomas gives the above definition of an act of faith, he
speaks of a person who believes God, who speaks to him by his Church,
as is evident from other passages in which he speaks of the faith of
heretics. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">As long, then, as a material heretic, though through
inculpable ignorance, adheres to an heretical sect, he is separated
from Christ</span>, because he is separated from his Body—the Catholic Church.
In that state he cannot make any supernatural acts of divine faith,
hope, and charity, which are necessary to obtain life everlasting, and
therefore, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">if he dies in that state, he is pronounced infallibly lost
by St. Augustine, St. Alphonsus and all the great Doctors of the Church.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But,
says the Rev. A. Young: "I was baptized in infancy by a minister of the
Protestant Episcopalian Church. I then received, as all baptized
persons do, whether adults or infants, the infused virtues of divine
faith, hope, and charity, with sanctify grace, and was made capable, by
the grace of God thus given, to make distinct meritorious acts of
divine faith, hope, and charity."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
One
of the effects of Baptism is that, when children are validly baptized,
they receive, together with the indelible character of a Christian, the
habit of faith,—or a capacity, a power or faculty which enables them,
when they come to the use of reason, and are instructed by the Catholic
Church in revealed truths, to make acts of divine faith, this habit of
faith enabling them to see clearly and believe firmly the truths of the
Catholic religion. A baptized child is a child of God, and God lives in
the soul of that child and is its Father. So, when God speaks through
his Church to that child, it easily recognizes the voice that speaks to
him as the voice of God, and firmly believes whatever that voice
teaches him to believe. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">But this habitual divine faith is lost by the
profession of heresy, material heresy not excepted.</span> To a child that is
brought up in heresy, God does not speak when it hears the voice of a
heretical teacher; if it believes that teacher, it believes not God,
but man, and its faith is human, which cannot lead it to God. (See St.
Thomas, De Fide, Q. V., art. iii.; Cursus Compl. Theologae, vol. 21, Q.
III., art. iii., de Suscipientibus Baptismum. Instruction in Christ,
Doct. chapt. ii.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
may be more clear from the following: If a person who has come to the
use of reason and professes heresy at the time of his baptism, he is
indeed indelibly marked as a Christian, but he is not sanctified—the
other supernatural effects of baptism being suspended for want of the
proper dispositions or preparations which are required to receive not
only the sacrament, but also its supernatural effects. One of the most
essential requisites to receive these effects is to have the true
faith, i.e., to believe God, speaking through the Catholic Church. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Now
heresy, material heresy not excepted, is a want of this faith, on
account of which the supernatural effects of baptism are suspended.</span> God
cannot unite himself with a soul that lives in heresy, even though it
be only material heresy. As the supernatural sanctifying effects in
this case are suspended, so they are for the same reason, destroyed in
him who was baptized in his infancy and became a heretic, though only a
material heretic, when he came to the use of reason. This person, to be
again reconciled with God, must renounce heresy, believe the Catholic
Church, and receive worthily the sacrament of penance; or if this
cannot be had, he must have perfect contrition or charity with the
desire (at least implicit) to receive the sacrament of penance. The
other person, however, will be reconciled with God and truly
sanctified, as soon as he renounces heresy, believes the Catholic
Church, and has at least attrition (imperfect supernatural sorrow) for
his sins, because it is then that the supernatural sanctifying effects
of baptism take place. It is therefore evident that, if these persons
and others like them were to die in heresy, they would be lost forever.
(See Theolog. Curs. Compl. De Confirmatione, Part II., Q. II., art. vi.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
Church," says Dr. O. A. Brownson, "teaches that the infant validly
baptized, by whomsoever the baptism be administered, receives in the
sacrament the infused habit of faith and sanctity, and that this habit (<i>habitus</i>) suffices for salvation till the child comes to the use of reason. Hence all baptized infants dying in infancy are saved.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"But
when arrived at the use of reason, the child needs something beyond
this infused habit, and it is bound to elicit the act of faith. The
habit is not actual faith, and is only a supernatural facility infused
by grace, of eliciting the actual virtue of faith. The habit of
sanctity is lost by mortal sin, but the habit of faith, we are told, is
lost by a positive act of infidelity or heresy. This is not strictly
true; for the habit may be lost by the omission to elicit the act of
faith, which neither is nor can be elicited out of the Catholic Church;
for out of her the credible object, which is <i>Deus revelans et Ecclesia proponens</i>,
(God revealing and the Church proposing for our belief) is wanting.
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Consequently, outside of the Church there can be no salvation for any
one, even though baptized, who has come to the use of reason. The habit
given in Baptism then ceases to suffice, and the obligation to elicit
the act begins.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
may be told that it may not be through one's own fault that he omits to
elicit the act, especially when born and brought up in a community
hostile, or alien to the Church. Who denies it? But from that it does
not follow either that the habit is not lost by the omission, or that
the elicitation of the act is not necessary, in the case of every
adult, to salvation. Invincible ignorance excuses from sin, we admit,
in that whereof one is invincibly ignorant, but it confers no virtue,
and is purely negative. It excuses from sin, if you will, the omission
to elicit the act, but it cannot supply the defect caused by the
omission. Something more than to be excused from the sin of infidelity
or heresy is necessary to salvation."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But, continues the Rev. A. Young, "as I was a baptized Christian, I did not, neither could I, lose the <i>capacity</i> to make<i> meritorious</i> acts of <i>divine</i> faith,
no matter whether I made them or not; no matter what I believed or
disbelieved as I grew up; no matter whether I became a Protestant, Jew,
Mahomedan, or infidel. I will be a baptized Christian for all eternity,
because the indelible mark of baptism cannot be taken out of my soul.
In this case I was capable of making meritorious acts of divine faith."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What
stupid and most absurd assertion this! Is it possible that a priest can
be so ignorant as to assert what no well instructed Catholic child
would assert! Only he who lives in the true faith and in true charity
with God has the capacity of making meritorious acts of divine faith.
And yet the Rev. A. Young, in his unpardonable ignorance, solemnly
asserts that a baptized Protestant, or a baptized Jew, or a baptized
Mahomedan, or a baptized infidel is as such capable of making
meritorious acts of divine faith, because he bears in his soul the
indelible mark of baptism. Who ever taught and believed such nonsense!
How can a priest be so ignorant as to confound the indelible character
of baptism with the supernatural graces of this sacrament, which are
lost by the profession of heresy and infidelity!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Again,"
continues the Rev. A. Young, "God gives his grace to all persons; that
is, he moves their will, as St. Thomas says in his definition, to
compel the intellect to give assent to divine truth. Therefore God
moved my will to that end."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
understand how necessary the grace of God is to believe the true
religion, we quote the following from St. Thomas: The final beatitude
of man, says St. Thomas, consists in the beatific vision of God. As
this end of man is far above the strength of human nature, it was
necessary that God should teach him how to obtain everlasting
beatitude. So God has revealed certain supernatural truths, which are
above the human understanding, to lead him to the beatitude of heaven.
To acquire the knowledge of these truths, he must learn them from God,
through those to whom God has communicated them and whom he has
commissioned to teach them infallibly, in his name. Then it is
necessary that he who learns these truths from God through his
infallible teacher, should give his firm assent to them. The cause
which induces man to give his assent to these supernatural truths may
be twofold: it may be exterior, such as a miracle which a person sees,
or some one who tries by his words to persuade a person to believe.
Neither of these two causes is sufficient to create faith; for of those
who see one and the same miracle, and of those who hear the same sermon
on faith, there are some who believe and others do not believe. Hence
it is necessary to assign another interior cause which induces a person
to assent to the truths of faith. The Pelagians (heretics) taught that
the free-will of man is this interior cause which induces him to
believe, and that on this account the beginning of faith, is of man
himself, in as much as he is ready to believe divine truths, but that
the perfection of faith is from God, who proposes the truths which must
be believed. But this is false, for by giving his assent to the truths
of faith man is raised above his natural condition, and therefore the
cause that raises man above his natural state must be supernatural,
moving man interiorly to believe, and this interior supernatural cause
is God. Hence the assent to the truths of faith, which is the principal
act of faith, must be attributed to God who, by his grace, interiorly
moves man to believe the truths of faith. Although the act of believing
consists in the will, yet it is necessary that the will of man, should
be prepared by the grace of God, in order to be raised to those things
which are above human nature." (22. q. ii., art. and q. vi., art. 1.)
It is, therefore, necessary that God should enlighten the intellect and
move the will of man to believe the true religion when it is preached
to him; but it would be blasphemous to say that God moves the will of
man to believe heretical doctrine. And yet the Rev. A. Young asserts
"that God moved his will to give his assent to divine truth" in
Protestantism. And what he believed of the true divine teacher of
God—the Roman Catholic Church, he candidly tells us when he says:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I
was brought up to believe that the Roman Catholic Church was the Church
of Antichrist; that she was the scarlet woman of Babylon, and the Pope
the man of sin; that she taught false doctrines; that she was the great
enemy of all the Christian truth, morality, and love of God. I read the
wandering Jew, I also read many other horrible, lying, immoral books
written to defame the Roman Catholic Church; and as there was no
opportunity for me to learn better I believed them to be true."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
who will be foolish enough to believe that God moved the will of Rev.
A. Young to believe such devilish doctrines? God enlightened his
intellect and moved his will when he detested those doctrines and made
his profession of faith in the only true Holy Catholic Church; God
moves the will towards what is good, but not towards what is bad; he
cannot be the author of evil.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"As
a Protestant," continues the Rev. A. Young, "I was always taught that
the Christian religion was divinely true, because it was the religion
of Christ, who was God incarnate. I was taught and firmly assented to
all the doctrines of the Christian religion as formulated in the
Apostles' and the Nicene Creed, in precisely the same words, and, to
all intents and purposes, in <i>precisely the same sense that I now recite them as a Catholic</i>.
Whatever the Apostles meant and whatever the Council of Nice meant to
convey, whether I perfectly understood it or not, I meant to believe,
and did believe; and therefore, whensoever I recited those Creeds, I
made distinct acts of divine faith, most unquestionably. And it is also
beyond a doubt that I implicitly included in my acts of divine faith <i>all</i> divine truth that God has ever revealed to mankind."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From
the time of the Apostles there have been men who called themselves
Christians, because they were baptized; but as they did not believe in
Christ as made known in Holy Scripture and in the doctrine of the
Church, they were called anti-Christs. ("Qui enim non credit Christum
esse sub his conditionibus, quas fides deteriminat" says St. Thomas,
"non vere Christum credit et ideo Christum cre dere non convenit ipsis
sub ea ratione qua ponitur actus fidei.")</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Insane
people," said one day a certain gentleman to me, "are also called men,
but they are not the right sort of men." In like manner material
heretics may call them selves Christians, and their sects Christian
Churches; but they are not the right sort of Christians and their sects
are not the true Church of Christ. They are not Catholic Christians,
and therefore they are not the Church of Christ.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
his catalogue of heresies, St. Augustine mentions eighty-eight
heresies, and then he adds: "If anyone does not believe these heresies,
he must not therefore think or say that he is a Catholic Christian; for
there maybe other heresies, or others may still arise, and he who
should adhere to any one of them, can not be a Catholic Christian.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
So
the Rev. A. Young believed in a Christian religion, but not in the
right sort of Christian religion, because it was not the Catholic
Christian religion. He believed in the Christian Church, but not in the
Catholic Christian Church, "which," as he candidly avows, "he, in his
ignorance, hated, detested and feared, believing her to be the Church
of Antichrist, etc." That he recited the Apostles' and Nicene Creed
does not change the matter. For "it may happen," says St. Augustine,
"that a heretic holds all the words of the Creed, and yet does not
believe rightly, because he does not believe the divine truths of the
Creed, as explained by the Church; under these words heretics generally
hide their venomous doctrines." (De Fide et. Symb. c. 1.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
St.
Cyprian says the same (Epist. 76 ad Magn.): "Should any one say that a
Novatian holds the same law that the Catholic Church holds, that he
baptizes in the symbol (Creed) as we do, etc., let him know first that
the law of our symbol is not one and the same with that of the
schismatics, nor are our questions the same with theirs: for if any one
is asked, dost thou believe the remission of sins and life everlasting
through the Holy Church? their answer to this question is a lie, since
they have not the Church."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
St.
Jerome (Advers. Lucif. c. v.) says: "When we baptize, we solemnly ask,
after the profession of faith in the Most Holy Trinity: 'Dost thou
believe the Holy Church? Dost thou believe the forgiveness of sins?
Which Church dost thou say to believe in? In that of the Arians? But
they have not ours; and therefore, as he was baptized out of her could
not believe <i>in that one which he knew not.</i>" Ask, in
like manner, an Episcopalian: "Do you believe the Catholic Church?" he
will answer, "Yes; but not the Roman Catholic Church," which he is
taught to hate and detest, and to look upon the Pope as the man of sin.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Being unfortunately brought up a Protestant," continues the Rev. A. Young, "I was <i>like
an ignorant Catholic in good faith who failed to learn all that the
Catholic Church, the visible, authorized teacher of all divine truth,
does teach."</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now
it is wholly untrue that the Rev. A. Young as a Protestant, "was like
an ignorant Catholic who failed to learn all that the Catholic Church,
the visible authorized teacher of all divine truth, does teach."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">An
ignorant Catholic is not a material heretic; he is a member of the Body
of Christ; if he is a dead member of it, being in the state of mortal
sin, he as such is able still to make acts of divine faith, though not
meritorious, because he believes all that God teaches him through his
infallible teacher—the Catholic Church</span>; if he is in the state of
sanctifying grace, his acts of faith will be meritorious to eternal
life. Nothing of the kind is true of a material heretic, because he is
out of the Church and therefore no member of Christ's body.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"As
only those members," says St. Augustine, "are vivified by the soul
which are united with the body, so, in like manner, only those are
vivified by the Spirit of Christ, who remain members of his Body—the
Church. He who is separated from Christ's Body is not a member of
Christ; and if he is not a member of Christ, he cannot be vivified by
Christ's Spirit. But any one who has not Christ's Spirit does not
belong to Christ. Hence a Christian must fear nothing so much as
separation from Christ's Body, which is the Church." (Tract. 27, in
Joan.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"So
long," continues the Rev. A. Young, as one's faith is a willing
oblation, or spiritual sacrifice of self authority, by referring his <i>reason</i> for
believing to what he thinks (according to his lights and opportunities)
to be a divinely authorized source of instruction by which he is
directly taught, or through which he honestly believes God wills him to
learn divine truth, that man is a Catholic in the sight of God, and he
is a Catholic in the sight of the Church, no matter what he calls
himself, and though such a one dies piously as an Episcopalian,
Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, or what not, St. Peter will let him
into heaven as a Catholic. And many a one rejoices to find himself so
recognized after death, in spite of his earthly name and ignorance.
That such a baptized Protestant is a Catholic in the sight of the
Church is proved by the fact that he is treated as one when he becomes
a convert and applies to be received into the Church, for he is
absolved as one who has been, or, as the ritual wisely adds, 'if
perchance he has been' an excommunicated Catholic, on account of
professed heresy."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Was
the Rev. A. Young quite honest in believing what he has just said? How
then could he write: "They (material heretics) openly refuse to hear
the divine authority of the Church, and so they are heretics "<i>in foro externo</i>" (of the Church).</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
the Rev. A. Young was unfortunate in explaining the doctrine of St.
Thomas on faith, so, in like manner, he is again unfortunate in the
explanation of the formula of absolution from heresy, which the Church
has prescribed for the priest to use in absolving heretics from heresy
when they are about to be received into the Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Before
giving the true, genuine explanation of that formula of absolution, we
must remark that this formula of absolution is never used by the Church
when an excommunicated Catholic is to be absolved from the censure of
excommunication, nor does the Church look upon an excommunicated
heretic as an excommunicated Catholic. By what right, therefore, does
the Rev. A. Young call an excommunicated heretic an <i>excommunicated Catholic</i>?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now what is the true explanation of the formula of absolution prescribed by the Church for absolving an excommunicated heretic?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
may be assumed," says the Rev. J. O' Kane, "that amongst the
Protestants there are many whose heresy is only material; and it may be
added that this is most likely to be the case with those who are
converted to the faith, the very fact of their conversion being,
generally speaking, an evidence of the sincerity with which they
previously adhered to their errors.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Now it is <i>formal</i> heresy
alone (that is, heresy to which one pertinaciously adheres, though the
true doctrine and the motives of its credibility are clearly proposed
to him) <i>which is reserved to the Pope</i>, and not
material heresy, even when the person is guilty of grievous sin by his
neglect to inquire when doubts occurred, or by his culpable ignorance;
for this, though it may be a grievous sin against faith, is not, after
all, the sin of formal heresy. Hence, it may easily happen that <i>no special faculty</i> is required for the absolution of these converts. (LACROIX, lib. vi., p., ii., n. 1613.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Again, since there is a doubt, as we suppose, whether they have been <i>really</i> baptized,
there must be a doubt whether they could incur the censures of the
Church. De Lugo discusses the question, and gives it as his opinion
that, when, after diligent inquiry, there remains a doubt as to the
validity of the baptism of one who is guilty of heresy, he is not to be
regarded as having incurred the censures of the Church attached to
heresy. (De Fide, Disp. xx., n. 143.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
look on it, then, as very probable, that the converts of whom there is
question have not incurred the excommunication annexed to heresy; and
since the case is reserved to the Pope, dependently on the
excommunication annexed to it. (St. Alphonsus, lib. vi., n. 580), and
since an ordinary confessor can absolve from reserved cases when there
is a doubt either as to law or fact, (Ibid., n. 600), it would seem to
follow that no special faculty is required to absolve in the cases we
are discussing, so far, at least as the papal reservation is concerned.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
practice is, however, to deal with all converts from heretical sects,
as if they had incurred the reserved excommunication. Kenrick observes
(De Bapt., n. 243) that the Church does not acknowledge, <i>in foro externo</i>, the distinction between 'material' and 'formal,' which would except from the <i>reserved</i> censure
any one living in a heretical communion, and cites a decree of the Holy
Office, reprehending one who, relying on that distinction, had absolved
a Calvinist: 'Eo quod ignarus haeresum et errorum Calvini non posset
dici haeeticus formalis, sed tantum materialis.' The doubt whether a
convert has incurred a reserved censure, may be expressed in the form
of absolution, as is directed in the ritual for the use of the American
clergy, by inserting the word <i>forsan</i>: '….a vinculo excommunicationis quam <i>forsan </i>incurristi,' etc.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Although
bishops cannot, by their ordinary power, absolve from heresy, they can
do so in virtue of special faculties, which they usually have from the
Holy See, and they can delegate a priest to absolve from the excommuni
cation." (Rev. J. O' Kane on Rubrics, n. 467, 468.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The word "<i>forsan</i>"
(perchance), then, instead of proving that material heretics belong to
the Catholic Church and are considered by her as belonging to her,
proves clearly the very reverse. The Church considers all Protestants (<i>formal</i> as well as <i>material</i>)
as separated Christians, but material and doubtful heretics are not
excommunicated with that kind of excommunication the absolution from
which is reserved to the Pope. Hence St. Alphonsus says: "Heretics
though baptized, are separated from the Church." (First Command, n. 4.)
The fact that the Church receives converts into her communion clearly
proves that she considers them as persons who did not belong to it. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">And
be it also remembered that the Catholic Church would never bury a
deceased material heretic, nor allow a priest to announce to his
congregation that the holy sacrifice of the Mass will be offered up for
him, for the simple reason that she considers him as separated from her
Communion or Christ's Body.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Alas!
how could the Church look upon a material heretic as one of her
members, so long as he adheres to doctrines quite opposite to hers; so
long as he has not renounced the errors of his sect, has not made
profession of her faith, and is not received into her communion. To
become a citizen of the United States, you have to renounce allegiance
to all foreign potentates, etc.; in like manner, to become a member of
the Church, a citizen of the Kingdom of God on earth, you have to
renounce all allegiance to every doctrine contrary to that of the
Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I,
moreover," continues the Rev. A. Young, "naturally (providentially, I
must say, since it was not my fault) mistook my own Episcopalian Church
to be what the Roman Catholic Church is. Therefore it cannot be
questioned that, when I recited the Creed, and said, 'I believe in the
Holy Catholic Church,' and believed at the same time that the Episcopal
Church was that Catholic Church, I certainly made acts of divine faith."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
answer to this, we say with Dr. A. O. Brownson, who asks: "But may not
those who are baptized in heretical societies through ignorance,
believing them to be the Church of Christ, be regarded as in the way of
salvation? Not they who are born and educated in Protestant Churches
who have separated themselves from the unity of the Catholic Church,
but their ancestors, Calvin, Luther, Henry VIII., etc. Let St.
Augustine reply: 'But those who <i>through ignorance</i> are
baptized there (with heretics), judging the sect to be the Church of
Christ, sin less than these (who know it to be heretical); <i>nevertheless they are wounded by the sacrilege of schism</i>,
and therefore sin not lightly, because others sin more gravely. For
when it is said to certain persons, it shall be more tolerable for
Sodom in the day of judgment than for you, it is not therefore said
because the Sodomites will not be punished, but because the others will
be more grievously punished.'</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
And
again, St. Augustine says: "It is true, Donatists who baptize heathens
heal them of the wound of idolatry or infidelity; but they inflict on
them <i>a more serious wound instead, the wound of schism.</i> Those
of the people of God in the Old Law, who fell into idolatry, were
destroyed by the sword, but under the feet of the authors of schism the
earth opened and swallowed them up, (Ps. cv. 17.) and the rest of their
followers were consumed by a flame of fire from heaven. (Ecclus. xlv.
24.) Who, therefore, can doubt that those who were more severely
punished had also sinned more grievously?" (De Bapt. contr. Donatist.,
lib. i, c. 8.) Those idolaters who were baptized by the Donatists, and
believed in Christ, were healed of their wound of infidelity; they
never lived in the unity of the Catholic Church.. They never wilfully
left her in their ancestors, as Rev. A. Young and other heretics did;
and yet St. Augustine tells us that the wound of schism which they
received by adhering to the sect of the Donatists was more fatal for
them than that which they had received before by the crime of idolatry.
Now the wound inflicted by heresy, though material, is still more fatal
than that of schism. Hence those who are separated from the Church
cannot be innocent. (St. Augustine, lib. i. contr. Epist. Parm., c. 3.)
"Where there is no unity in faith, there can be no divine charity.
Therefore divine charity can be kept <i>only in the unity of the Church.</i>" (St. Augustine, contr. lit. Petil. lib. ii. C. 77.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
a person who has, in his ignorance, taken very poisonous food, becomes
very sick from it and may even die, if the effects of it cannot be
controlled in due time by medicine, so, in like manner, he who has
taken, though ignorantly, the very poisonous food of heretical
doctrines, becomes most fatally wounded by it in his soul, and unless
this poison is expelled from the soul before death, by a sincere
renunciation of heresy and by profession of the true faith in the
Church, the soul will be lost for ever.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Our
Blessed Saviour, in one short sentence, clearly shows the miserable
fate of all those who follow false teachers, when he says,<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> "They are
blind teachers of the blind; and if the blind lead the blind, both
shall fall into the pit."</span> (Matt. xv. 14.) This evidently shows that the
lot of both shall be the same, and that all the dreadful curses
pronounced in Holy Scripture upon the teachers of false religions <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">will
also fall upon those who follow them blindly.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"If
any one without the true faith," says St. Thomas, "receives baptism out
of the Church, he does not receive it unto his salvation. Hence St.
Augustine says (De Bapt. contr. Donatist., lib. iv., in princip.) 'The
Church likened to paradise signifies to us that people may, it is true,
receive her baptism out of her, <i>but no one can, out of her, receive or KEEP everlasting happiness,'</i> that is, KEEP sanctifying grace in his soul. (Sum. Pars. iii. q. 68, art. 8.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"There
is no salvation out of the Church," says St. Augustine. Who denies this
truth? And therefore whatever is held out of her communion, is of no
avail out of the Church. Those who are out of her unity, do not gather
with Christ, but scatter. (Matt. xii. 30.) (Contra Donatist.) "Out of
the Church," says St. Fulgentius, "Baptism avails nothing unto
salvation, nor can any one out of her receive the forgiveness of his
sins, nor obtain eternal life in spite of all alms he may give." (Lib.
1, de Remiss. Peccat. cap. 22, and Lib. de Fide ad Petrum.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
How
absurd, then, is it not for the Rev. A. Young to assert that if such a
material heretic dies, he will be admitted as a Catholic into heaven.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Another
excuse," says Brownson, "which is alleged for these (schismatics) is:
They say that they have been baptized, that they believe in Christ,
apply themselves to good works, and therefore may hope for salvation,
although they adhere to the party divided from the Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"St.
Augustine replies: 'We are accustomed from these words of the Apostle
"If I speak with the tongues of angels, etc.," (I. Cor. xiii. 1--8.) to
show men that it avails them nothing to have either the sacraments or
the faith, if they have not charity, in order that, when you come to
Catholic unity, you may understand what is conferred on you, and how
great is that in which you were before deficient. <i>For Christian charity cannot be kept out of the unity of the Church</i>;
and thus you may see that without it you are nothing, even though you
have baptism and faith, and by your faith were able even to remove
mountains. If this is also your opinion, let us not detest and scorn
either the sacraments which we acknowledge in you, or the faith itself,
but let us maintain charity, without which we are nothing, even with
the sacraments and the faith. But we maintain charity, if we embrace
unity; and we embrace unity when our knowledge is in unity through the
words of Christ, not when through our own words we form a partial
sketch.'</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Another
excuse," says Brownson, "for such people is: Some say that God is to be
believed according to the measure of grace received from him;
Catholics, indeed, believe many things which Protestants do not, but
the former have received the five talents the latter the two or three.
They do not condemn Catholics, but they hope to be saved in the small
measure which they have themselves received.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"But
here may avail what we have just adduced from St. Augustine; for if
even baptism and faith profit nothing without indispensable charity,
much less will profit a mere portion which is held in division and
schism. (De controversiis Tract. General, IX. de unit. Eccl. et Schism,
cap. 15; Vide etiam Lib. 1. de Bapt. contr. Donat. cap. v.; lib, 1
contr. litt. Petil. cap. 23, et lib. 2. cap. 8; et de Unit. Eccl. cap.
2. S. Optat. Melevit. 1 et 2.)"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
is high authority and express to the purpose. It cuts off every
possible excuse which our countrymen can allege, or which can be
alleged for them. They who are brought up in the Church, instructed in
her faith, and admitted to her sacraments, if they break away from her,
can be saved only by returning and doing penance; and all who knowingly
resist her authority, or adhere to heretical and schismatical
societies, knowing them to be such, are in the same category, and have
no possible means of salvation without being reconciled to the Church
and loosened by her from the bonds with which she has bound them. Thus
far all is clear and undeniable. But even they who are in societies
separated from the Church through ignorance, believing them to be the
Church of Christ, according to the authorities adduced, are wounded by
sacrilege, a most grievous sin, are destitute of charity, which cannot
be kept <i>out of the unity of the Church</i>, and without
which they are nothing, and therefore, whatever may be the comparative
degree of their sinfulness, are in the road to perdition, as well as
the others, and no more than the others can be saved without being
reconciled to the Church. But these several classes include all of our
countrymen not in the Church, and therefore, as every one of these is
exposed to the wrath and condemnation of God, we have the right, and
are in duty bound, to preach to them all, without ex ception, that,
unless they come into the Church, and humbly submit to her laws, and
persevere in their love and obedience, they will inevitably be lost.
"Out of the Church there is positively no salvation for any one."
(Fourth Lat. Council.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Unquestionably,
all must enter into the Church," some will say; "but not necessarily
into the visible Church. We must distinguish between the Body or
exterior communion of the Church, and the soul, or interior communion.
The dogma of faith simply says: out of the Church there is no
salvation, and you have no right to add the word <i>visible</i> or <i>exterior</i>."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
add the word exterior or visible," says Dr. O. A. Brownson, "to
distinguish the Church out of which there is no salvation from the
invisible Church contended for by Protestants, and which no Catholic
does or can admit. Without it, the dogma of faith contains no meaning.
Unquestionably, as our Lord in his humanity had two parts, his body and
his soul, so we may regard the Church, his Spouse, as having two parts,
the one exterior and visible, the other interior and invisible, or
visible only by the exterior, as the soul of man is visible by his
face; but to contend that the two parts are separable, or that the
interior exists disconnected from the exterior and is sufficient
independently of it, is to assert, in so many words, the prevailing
doctrine of Protestants, and so far as relates to the indispensable
conditions of salvation, to yield them, at least in their
understanding, the whole question. In the present state of controversy
with Protestants, we cannot save the integrity of the faith, unless we
add the epithet, visible or external. But it is not true that by so
doing we add to the dogma of faith. The sense of the epithet is
necessarily contained in the simple word <i>Church</i> itself,
and the only necessity there is of adding it at all is in the fact that
heretics have mutilated the meaning of the word <i>Church</i>, so that to them it no longer has its full and proper meaning. Whenever the word <i>Church</i> is
used generally, without any specific qualification, expressed or
necessarily implied, it means, by its own force, the visible as well as
the invisible Church, the Body no less than the Soul; for the Body, the
visible or external communion, is not a mere accident, but is essential
to the Church.. The Church, by her very definition, is the congregation
of men called by God through the evangelical doctrine, and professing
the true Christian faith under their infallible Pastor and Head - the
Pope. This definition takes in nothing not essential to the very idea
of the Church. The Church, then, is always essentially visible as well
as invisible, exterior as well as interior; and to exclude from our
conception of it the conception of visibility would be as objectionable
as to exclude the conception of body from the conception of man. Man is
essentially body and soul; and whosoever speaks of him - as <i>living</i> man
- must, by all the laws of language, logic and morals, be understood to
speak of him in that sense in which he includes both. So, in speaking
of the Church, if the analogy is admissible at all. Consequently, when
faith teaches us that out of the Church there is no salvation, and adds
herself no qualification, we are bound to understand the Church in her
integrity, as Body no less than as Soul, visible no less than
invisible, external no less than internal. Indeed, if either were to be
included rather than the other, it would be the Body; for the Body, the
congregation or society, is what the word primarily and properly
designates; and it designates the soul only for the reason that the
living Body necessarily connotes the soul by which it is a living Body,
not a corpse. We have then, the right, nay, are bound by the force of
the word itself, to understand by the Church, out of which there is no
salvation, the visible or external as well as the invisible or internal
communion.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"What
Bellarmine, Billuart, Perrone, and others say of persons pertaining to
the soul and yet not to the Body of the Church makes nothing against
this conclusion. They, indeed, teach that there is a class of persons
that may be saved, who cannot be said to be actually and properly in
the Church. Bellarmine and Billuart instance catechumens and
excommunicated persons, in case they have faith, hope, and charity;
Perrone, so far as we have seen, instances catechumens only; and it is
evident from the whole scope of their reasoning that all they say on
this point must be restricted to catechumens, and such as are
substantially in the same category with them; for they instance no
others, and we are bound to construe every exception to the rule
strictly, so as to make it as little of an exception as possible. If,
then, our conclusion holds true, notwithstanding the apparent exception
in the case of catechumens and those substantially in the same
category, nothing these authors say can prevent it from holding true
universally.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Catechumens are persons who have not yet received the visible sacrament of baptism <i>in re</i> (in reality), and therefore are not <i>actually and properly</i> in
the Church, since it is only by baptism that we are made members of
Christ and incorporated into his Body. 'With regard to these there is
no difficulty,' says Bellarmine, 'because they are of the <i>Faithful</i>,
and if they die in that state may be saved; and yet no one can be saved
out of the Church, as no one was saved out of the ark, according to the
decision of the fourth Council of Lateran, C. 1: "Una est fidelium
Universalis Ecclesia, extra quam nullus omnino salvatur." Still, it is
no less certain that catechumens are in the Church, not actually and
properly, but only potentially, as a man conceived, but not yet formed
and born, is called man only potentially. For we read (Acts, ii. 41.)
"they therefore that received his word were baptized; and there were
added to them that day about three thousand souls." Thus the Council of
Florence, in its instructions for the Armenians, teaches that men are
made members of Christ and of the Body of the Church when they are
baptized; and so all the Fathers teach . . . Catechumens are not
actually and properly in the Church. How can you say they are saved, if
they are out of the Church?"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is clear that this difficulty, which Bellarmine states, arises from
understanding that to be in the Church means to be in the visible
Church, and that, when faith declares, out of the Church no one can be
saved, it means out of the visible communion. Otherwise it might be
answered, since they are assumed to have faith, hope, and charity, they
belong to the soul of the Church, and that is all that faith requires.
But, Bellarmine does not so answer, and since he does not, but proceeds
to show that they do in a certain sense belong to the body, it is
certain that he understands the article of faith as we do, and holds
that men are not in the Church unless they, in some sense, belong to
the body. "But," Bellarmine continues, "The author of the book 'De
Ecclesiasticis Dogmatibus,' replies, that they are not saved. But this
appears too severe; certain it is that St. Ambrose, in his oration on
the death of Valentinian, expressly affirms that catechumens can be
saved, of which number was Valentinian when he departed this life.
Another solution is therefore to be sought. Melchior Cano says that
catechumens may be saved, because, if not in the Church properly called
Christian, they are yet in the Church which comprehends all the
faithful, from Abel to the consummation of the world. But this is not
satisfactory; for, since the coming of Christ there is no true Church
but that which is properly called Christian, and therefore, if
catechumens are not members of this, they are members of none. I reply
therefore, that the assertion, 'out of the Church no one can be saved,'
is to be understood of those who are of the Church neither actually nor
in desire, as theologians generally say when treating of baptism." (De.
Eccl. Milit. lib. 3, cap. 3)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I have said," says Billuart, "that catechumens are not <i>actually</i> and <i>properly</i> in
the Church, because, when they request admission into the Church, and
when they already have faith and charity, they may be said to be in the
Church proximately and in desire, as one may be said to be in the house
because he is in the vestibule for the purpose of immediately entering.
And in this sense must be taken what I have elsewhere said of their
pertaining to the Church, that is, that they pertain to her inchoately,
as aspirants who voluntarily subject themselves to her laws; and they
may be saved, notwithstanding there is no salvation out of the Church;
for this is to be understood of one who is in the Church neither
actually nor virtually—<i>nec re nec in voto</i>. In the
same sense St. Augustine, (Tract. 4 in Joan. n. 13.) is to be
understood when he says, 'Futuri erant aliqui in Ecclesia excelsioris
gratiae catechumeni,' that is, in will and proximate disposition, 'in
voto et proxima dispositione.' (Theolog. de Reg. Fid. Dissert. 3, art.
3.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is evident, both from Bellarmine and Billuart, that no one can be saved
unless he belongs to the visible Communion of the Church, either
actually or virtually, and also that the salvation of catechumens can
be asserted only because they do so belong; that is, because they are
in the vestibule, for the purpose of entering, have already entered in
their will and proximate disposition. St. Thomas teaches with regard to
these, in case they have faith working by charity, that all they lack
is the, reception of the visible sacrament <i>in reality</i>; but, if they are prevented by death from receiving it <i>in reality</i>before
the Church is ready to administer it, that God supplies the defect,
accepts the will for the deed, and reputes them to be baptized. If the
defect is supplied, and God reputes them to be baptized, they are so in
effect, have in effect received the visible sacrament, are truly
members of the external communion of the Church, and therefore are
saved in it, not out of it. (Summa, 3, q. 68, a. 2, corp. ad 2. et ad 3.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
case of the catechumens disposes of all who are substantially in the
same category. The only persons, not catechumens, who can be in the
same category, are persons who have been validly baptized, and stand in
the same relation to the sacrament of Reconciliation that catechumens
do to the sacrament of Faith. Infants, validly baptized, by whomsoever
baptized, are made members of the Body of our Lord, and, if dying
before coming to the age of reason go immediately to heaven. But
persons having come to the age of reason, baptized in an heretical
society, or persons baptized in such society in infancy, and adhering
to it after having come to the years of understanding - for there can
be no difference between the two classes - whether through ignorance or
not, are, as we have seen, out of unity, and therefore out of charity,
without which they are nothing. Their faith, if they have any, does not
avail them; their sacraments are sacrilegious. The wound of sacrilege
is mortal, and the only possible way of being healed is through the
sacrament of Reconciliation or Penance. But for these to stand in the
same relation to this sacrament that catechumens do to the sacrament of
Faith, they must cease to adhere to their heretical societies, must
come out from among them, seek and find the Church, recognize her as
the Church, believe what she teaches, voluntarily subject themselves to
her laws, knock at the door, will to enter, standing waiting to enter
as soon as she opens and says, Come in. If they do all this, they are
substantially in the same category with catechumens; and if, prevented
by death from receiving the visible sacrament in reality, they may be
saved, yet not as simply joined to the soul of the Church, but as in
effect joined or restored to her external Communion. By their voluntary
renunciation of their heretical or schismatic society, by their
explicit recognition of the Church, by their actual return to her door,
by their dispositions and will to enter, they are effectually, if not
in form, members of the Body as well as the soul. Persons
excommunicated stand on the same footing as these. They are excluded
from the Church, unless they repent. If they repent and receive the
visible sacrament of Reconciliation, either in reality or in desire,
they may be saved because the Church, in excommunicating them, has
willed their amendment, not their exclusion from the people of God; but
we have no authority to affirm their salvation on any other condition.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
apparent exception alleged turns out, therefore, to be no real
exception at all; for the persons excepted are still members of the
Body of the Church in effect, as the authorities referred to labor to
prove. They are persons who renounced their infidel and heretical
societies, and have found and explicitly recognized the Church. Their
approach to the Church is <i>explicit</i>, not <i>constructive</i>,
to be inferred only from a certain vague and indefinite longing for the
truth and unity in general, predicable in fact, we should suppose, of
nearly all men; for no man ever clings to false hood and division,
believing them to be such. Their desire for truth and unity is
explicit. Their faith is the Catholic faith; the unity they will is
Catholic unity; the Church at whose door they knock is the Catholic
Church; the sacrament they solicit, they solicit from the hands of her
legitimate priest. They are in effect Catholics, and though not
actually and properly in the Church, nobody ever dreams of so
understanding the article, 'out of the Church no one can be saved,' as
to exclude them from salvation.*</div>

"The
Church is always and everywhere, at once and indissolubly, as the
living Church, interior and exterior, consisting, like man himself, of
soul and body. She is not a disembodied spirit, nor a corpse. The
separation of the soul and body of the Church is as much her death as
the separation of the soul and body of man is his. She is the Church,
the living Church, only by the mutual commerce of soul and body. There
may be grave sinners in her body who have no communion with her soul;
these are indeed members, but not living members and are in the Body
rather than <i>of</i> it, as vicious humors may be in the
blood without being of it for they must have communion with the soul in
order to be living members.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
life of the Church, as all theologians teach, is in the mutual commerce
of the exterior and interior, the body and soul; and therefore no
individual not joined to her body can live her life. Indeed, to suppose
that communion with the Body alone will suffice, is to fall into mere
formalism, to mistake the corpse for the living man; and, on the other
hand, to suppose that communion with the soul out of the body and
independent of it is practicable, is to fall into pure spiritualism,
simple Quakerism, which tapers off into Transcendentalism or
sentimentalism. Either extreme is the death of the Church, which is, as
we have said, to be regarded as always, at once and indissolubly, soul
and body. (See Perrone, de Loc. Theolog. p. 1, cap. 2, art. 3, et cap.
4, art. 1. ad 1.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"To
assume that real or virtual communion with the body is not necessary,
or that we may be joined to the spirit without being joined to the body
is to make the body only occasionally or accidently necessary to
salvation; and, in fact, some modern speculations imply, perhaps
expressly teach, that it is necessary only in the case of those who
recognize it to be necessary, as if its necessity depended on the state
of the human intellect, and not on the appointment of God, or as if a
man's belief could excuse or make up for his want of faith, —a doctrine
not to be extracted from the Holy Scripture, taught by no Father or
Mediaeval Doctor, and from which, we should suppose, every Catholic
would instinctively turn with loathing and disgust.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
Church is the living Temple of God, into which believers must be
builded as so many living stones. It is his Body, and his Body is no
more to be dispensed with than his Soul; otherwise we could not call
her always visible, for to some she would be visible, to others only
invisible, and then there would be no visible <i>Catholic</i> Church."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence we were surprised to find the following erroneous opinion in a little work, <i>Catholic Belief</i>, page 230, § 7:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Catholics do not believe that Protestants who are baptized, who lead a good life, love God and their neighbor, and are <i>blamelessly</i> ignorant of the just claims of the Catholic religion to be the only one true Religion (which is called being in<i> good faith</i>),
are excluded from Heaven, provided they believe that there is one God
in three Divine Persons; that God will duly reward the good and punish
the wicked; that Jesus Christ is the son of God made man, who redeemed
us, and in whom we must trust for our salvation; and provided they
thoroughly repent of having ever, by their sins, offended God.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Catholics
hold that Protestants who have these dispositions, and who have no
suspicion of their religion being false, and no means to discover, or
fail in their honest endeavors to discover, the true religion, and who
are so disposed in their heart that they would <i>at any cost</i> embrace the Roman Catholic Religion if they knew it to be the true one, are <i>Catholics in spirit</i>and
in some sense within the Catholic Church, without themselves knowing
it. She holds that these Christians belong to, and are united to the
"soul," as it is called, of the Catholic Church, although they are not
united to the visible <i>body</i> of the Church by external communion with her, and by the outward profession of her faith."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
How
deceptively is not this opinion put? It is a well—known fact that many
Protestants are baptized only when they are grown up. If validly
baptized, they were, it is true, indelibly marked with the character of
the sacrament of Baptism, but they did not receive the supernatural
effects of Baptism—they were not justified—for want of the proper
dispositions. The Council of Trent teaches that the very first
condition to receive the grace of justification in Baptism is true
Catholic faith. When this faith is wanting in a person, the
supernatural effects of Baptism remain, suspended until such a baptized
person becomes a true member of the Catholic Church. If such baptized
Protestants die in that state they will be lost forever.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Those
Protestants who were baptized in their infancy, and were brought up in
heresy after they had come to the use of reason, became separated from
the Church, and could not preserve, as St. Augustine says, divine
charity out of the unity of the Church, and without such charity it is
impossible to be saved.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Besides,
those four great truths of salvation must be believed, as Cornelius a
Lapide remarks, with divine faith, to be of any avail towards
salvation. But how could those persons have this divine faith and true
repentance for sins without the special mercy of God, who grants these
gifts only to true converts to the Church. "Remission of sin" says St.
Fulgentius, "cannot be obtained anywhere except in the Church."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
And
how could such persons even think of joining the Church, unless they
are made to understand that they can find their salvation only in the
Church. And then they would need a special grace to come up to their
duty. And how could they be Catholics in spirit without having the true
faith and divine charity? And how could they belong to the Soul of the
Church, since that soul is not in them—that is, true faith and divine
charity, which, we repeat, can be had only in the unity of the Church?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">"The
Catholic," says Dr. O. A. Brownson, "who holds implicitly the Catholic
faith, but errs through invincible ignorance with regard to some of its </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">consectaria</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> and
even dogmas, may be saved; </span><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">but how can a man be said to hold implicitly
the Catholic faith, who holds nothing or rejects every principle that
implies it?</span> It is not safe to apply to Protestants, who really deny
everything Catholic, a rule that is very just when applied to sincere
but ignorant Catholics, or Catholics that err through inculpable
ignorance. Protestantism does not stand on the footing of ordinary
heterodoxy; it is no more Christian than was Greek and Roman paganism.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is worthy of special notice," says Brownson, "that those recent
theologians who seem unwilling to assent to this doctrine cite no
authority from a single Father or Mediaeval doctor of the Church, not
strictly compatible with it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Unquestionably,
authorities in any number may be cited to prove - what nobody disputes
- that pertinacity in rejecting the authority of the Church is
essential to formal or culpable heresy, that persons may be in
heretical societies without being culpable heretics, and therefore,
that we cannot say of all who live and die in such societies that they
are damned precisely for the sin of heresy. Father Perrone cites
passages in abundance to this effect, which as Suarez says, is the
uniform doctrine of all the theologians of the Church; but he and
others cite not a single authority of an earlier date than the
seventeenth century, which ever hints anything more than this. But this
by no means militates against St. Augustine, St. Fulgentius and others;
because it by no means follows from the fact that one who is not a
formal heretic is, so long as he is in a society alien to the Church,
in the way of salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"A
man may, indeed, not be damned for his erroneous faith, and yet be
damned for sins not remissible without the true faith, and for the want
of virtues impracticable out of the communion of the Church. Father
Perrone very properly distinguishes <i>material</i> <wbr></wbr>heretics from <i>formal</i>;
but when treating the question ex-professo, he by no means pronounces
the former in the way of salvation; he simply remits them to the
judgment of God, who, he assures us,—what nobody questions—will consign
no man to endless tortures, unless for a sin of which he is voluntarily
guilty. (Tract. do Vera Relig. adv. Heterodox., prop. ix.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Moreover,
Father Perrone, when refuting those who contend that salvation would be
attainable if the visible Church should fail, that is, by internal
means, by being joined in spirit to the true Church, maintains that in
such case there would be no <i>ordinary</i> means of
salvation; that, when Christ founded his Church, he intended to offer
men an ordinary means, or rather a collection of means, which all
indiscriminately, and at all times, should use for procuring salvation;
that, if God had been willing to operate our salvation by the
assistance of internal means, there would have been no reason for
instituting the Church; that, what is said of being joined to the
Church through the spirit, and of invincible ignorance, or of <i>material</i> heretics,
could be admitted only on the hypothesis that God should provide no
other means; that, since it is certain that God has willed to save men
by other means, namely, by the institution of the Church visible and
external, and which is at all times easily distinguished from every
sect, it is evident that the subterfuge imagined by non-Catholics is
altogether unavailable." (De Loc. Theologic., p. 1, cap. 4, art. 1.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Rev. A. Young seems not to become tired of repeating, though in other
words, the same erroneous opinion of the faith of Protestants. So he
says again: "If we Catholics could be, shall I say, <i>fearless enough to acknowledge</i> that the common actual faith of Protestants, who are in good faith, is <i>identical with ours in its essential quality</i>,
and saving their great pitiable ignorance, I am convinced that it would
open the way for the conversion of many of them." Let us therefore
repeat again a most essential quality of our faith as given by St.
Thomas. He says:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The formal object of faith is the <i>First Truth</i> (that is, God himself) such as he is made known in Holy Scripture and <i>in the doctrine of the Church</i>,
which (doctrine) comes from the First Truth. Hence, whosoever does not
adhere to the infallible and divine rule (of faith)—to the doctrine of
the Church, which proceeds from the First Truth (God) as made known in
Holy Scripture, <i>such a one has not the habit of faith</i>;
but those truths of faith which he holds, he holds them not by faith,
but in some other way. But it is evident that he who adheres to the
doctrine of the Church as the infallible rule (of faith), gives his
assent to all that the Church teaches; but he who holds of the truths
of faith which the Church teaches such as he chooses, and rejects such
as he chooses, does not adhere to the doctrine of the Church as
infallible rule of faith; he adheres to his own private judgment as
rule of his faith.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Faith
adheres to all the articles of faith on account of one medium, namely,
on account of the First Truth (God) as proposed for our faith in Holy
Scripture according to the doctrine of the Church; (that is, as Sylvius
explains, the Church, proposing or declaring what is of faith, is the
ordinary medium established by God, in order that we may know for
certain what he has revealed and what he obliges the faithful to
believe). "And therefore," continues St. Thomas, "he who has not this
medium, (that is, he who has not the Church for his teacher in all
matters of faith) <i>has no faith whatever.</i>" *</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Formale
objectum fidei," says St. Thomas, "est veritas prima (i. e. Deus ipse)
secundum quod manifestatur in Scripturis sacris et <i>in doctrina Ecclesiae</i>, quae procedit ex veritate prima. Unde <i>quicunque</i> non
inhaerit sicut infallibili et divinae regulae, doctrinae Ecclesiae,
quae procedit ex veritate prima in Scripturis sacris manifestata, ille
non habet habitum fidei; sed ea, quae sunt dei, alio modo tenet quam.
per fidem. Manifestum est autem, quod ille, qui inhaeret doctrinae
Ecclesiae tan-quam infallibili regulae, omnibus assentit quae Ecclesia
docet: alioquin, si de his quae Ecclesia docet, quae non vult non
tenet, jam non inhaeret Ecclesiae doctrinae, sicut infallibili regulae,
sed propriae voluntati.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Omnibus articulis fidei inhaeret fides propter unum. Medium, scilicet <i>propter veritatem primam propositam</i> nobis in Scripturis <i>secundum doctrinam Ecclesiae intelligentis sane</i>;
(i. e., ut explicat Sylvius: Ecclesiae propositio vel declaratio,
medium est ordinarium a Deo institutum, ut certo sciamus, quaenam ipse
revelaverit et a fidelibus credenda voluerit). "Et ideo, qui ab hoc
medio decidit, TOTALITER <i>fide caret</i>."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Such
is the doctrine of St. Thomas, of St. Alphonsus, and of all the Fathers
and Doctors of the Church concerning those who have divine faith, and
those who have none whatever. Our faith is divine and infallible,
because it comes to us from God through the divine and infallible
medium of the Church. But "material Protestants," as the Rev. A. Young
candidly says, "openly refuse to hear the divine authority of the
Church, and so they are heretics <i>in foro externo</i>" of
the Church. They, therefore, have no infallible and divine rule of
faith, and consequently cannot have divine faith. Their faith is human,
ours is divine.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Another <i>essential quality</i> of our faith is that it is always <i>one</i> and <i>unchangeable</i>; Protestant faith is as <i>changeable</i> as the wind; hence we see so many different sects of Protestants.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Again, a very essential quality of our faith is that it is <i>holy</i>,
because it comes from Jesus Christ. We believe absolutely in Jesus
Christ and all that he teaches us through his Church. Protestants,
material Protestants not excepted, have no absolute faith in Christ,
first, because they do not believe him to be such as he is made known
in Holy Scripture and in the infallible doctrine of his Church;
secondly, because they do not believe all that Christ commanded his
Church to teach all nations, obliging all to believe her doctrine under
pain of eternal damnation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Moreover, the Church is <i>holy</i>, because she has the <i>sacraments</i> instituted
by Jesus Christ as a means by which his grace is conferred upon those
who are members of his body—the Catholic Church. Protestants have
rejected most of these means of holiness, and therefore even material
heretics are deprived of them.<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> If they receive baptism, it is not unto
their salvation, as St. Thomas, St. Augustine, and other Fathers of the
Church say (Only those Protestant children are saved who, if baptized,
die before they come to the years of understanding</span>); but those who grow
up in heresy forfeit the supernatural graces of baptism, and are most
fatally wounded by heresy. But in our faith the forgiveness of sins is
obtained, and we become holy by living up to it. All this is impossible
in Protestant faith. Their faith is derived from the enemies of Christ.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Our
faith teaches us a holy worship, established by Jesus Christ—the holy
sacrifice of the Mass, in which Jesus Christ offers himself, through
the hands of his priest, to his heavenly Father in an unbloody manner,
as he did in a bloody manner on the cross; it is by this holy, unbloody
sacrifice that he applies to our souls the merits of his bloody
sacrifice, and that we, by offering it up to the heavenly Father, honor
him with that infinite honor by which Jesus Christ has honored him on
earth, especially by his death on the cross, and continues to honor him
for us, to thank him for us, to pacify him for us, and to obtain
immense blessings for the members of his Church Militant and Suffering;
so that he stands with his heavenly Father for every faithful Catholic
who is united to his Body—the Church, and that every faithful Catholic
presents himself to the heavenly Father, in Christ and with Christ,
with whom he is united through his Body—the Church, from which Christ
will never be separated.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Alas!
Protestant belief rejected Christ when it rejected the holy sacrifice
of the Mass. With the rejection of this unbloody sacrifice it rejected
the most holy worship of God. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">If the sin of the sons of Heli was very
great in the sight of the Lord, because they prevented the people from
offering the imperfect sacrifices of the Jewish Law, which were only
figures of the unbloody perfect sacrifice of the New Law—and which were
abolished by Christ, and replaced by his unbloody sacrifice,—how great
must not be the sin of those who prevent Protestants from becoming
Catholics, from serving and honoring God in the manner which Jesus
Christ has prescribed under pain of eternal damnation!</span> Protestant
belief cuts off all its followers from this inexhaustible source of
temporal and spiritual blessings;<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> it makes them worship God with a
false worship, which is so severely condemned by God in the first
commandment.</span> From the beginning of the world God himself prescribed the
sacrifices and the manner in his people should worship him; in the New
Law also Christ instituted a new and perfect worship of God—for the
divine worship which God wishes to receive from his own people is a
most essential part of the true religion. Hence good Catholics are so
anxious on Sundays and holy-days of obligation to be in due time
present at the holy sacrifice of the Mass, to give to God, by this
sacrifice of infinite value, that divine honor which he has prescribed,
and to obtain by it all possible blessings for soul and body.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">By
the Catholic faith the world has been Christianized and civilized; but
by the principles of Protestant belief the world has been filled with
millions of infidels, because the essential quality of Protestant
belief is that it rests upon negation;</span> if Protestants, even material
ones, hold some Catholic truths, they hold them from Catholics, and
these truths are so many proofs to convince them that they should also
believe the other truths of the Catholic Church, and be Catholics; that
they are separated from the Church, which is Christ's Body, and
consequently separated from Christ himself; and whatever Catholic
truths they seem to hold, they cannot hold them by faith, but by some
other way, as St. Thomas says; and these truths are not theirs, but
ours, says Brownson; what is all theirs, is their denial of the other
truths of the Catholic Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Another <i>essential quality</i> of our faith is that it is <i>Apostolic</i>,
that is, it has come to us from the Apostles through their lawful
successors who have, through Holy Orders, all the powers which Christ
conferred upon his Apostles; but Protestant belief comes from apostate
Catholics, who left the Church from the passion of lust, or pride, or
avarice, and therefore their preachers and bishops have no more power
from Christ, than a man in the moon has from the United States
Government to declare war against the English Government.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Another <i>essential quality</i> of our faith is that it is <i>Catholic</i>,
binding in conscience all men who come to know it to embrace it under
pain of eternal damnation; but Protestant belief, as it does not come
from Christ, has no power to bind persons in conscience.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Our
faith will last to the end of the world all the same and unchanged;
that of Protestants, like so many other heresies, will gradually
disappear in the vapor of infidelity.</div>
<div data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Our
faith has been confirmed by thousands of miracles; but all the authors
of heresies have died a most melancholy death, and frightful
punishments have been inflicted by God upon all the persecutors of the
Catholic faith, as is well known from history.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now
all this shows that the difference between the essential qualities of
our faith and those of Protestant belief is greater than the distance
between heaven and earth.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What a shame, therefore. for the Rev. A. Young to proclaim, through the <i>Catholic Union and Times</i> of Buffalo, "If we Catholics could be fearless enough to acknowledge that the common actual faith of material Protestants is <i>identical with ours in its essential quality</i>."
What an outrage and insult to Catholic faith! Such a fearless heretical
acknowledgment has never been made and will never be made by any true,
well-instructed Catholic.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
By telling us, "If we Catholics could be <i>fearless enough</i> to acknowledge that the common, actual faith of material Protestants is <i>identical with ours</i> in
its essential quality," the Rev. A. Young gives Catholics sufficient
reason to believe that what he says of himself is really true, namely,
that in becoming a Catholic, his faith underwent no change!"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What
a great difference is there not between his manner of speaking of
Catholic and Protestant belief and that of Cardinals Manning and
Newman, of Bishop Hay, of Dr. O. A. Brownson, Marshall, and many other
celebrated converts. They speak like men of great faith; but the Rev.
A. Young speaks like one whose faith is not much enlightened.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Let
Father Young never forget what St. Augustine says of schismatics: "We
are accustomed from the words of the Apostle ("If I speak with the
tongues of angels, etc., I. Cor. xiii. 1-8) to show men that <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #707000; background-color: #ffff99;">it avails
them nothing to have either the sacraments or the faith, if they have
not charity,</span> in order that, when you come to Catholic unity, you may
understand what is conferred on you, and how great is that in which you
were before deficient. For Christian charity cannot be kept out of the
unity of the Church, and thus you may see that without it you are
nothing, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">even though you have Baptism and faith, and by your faith were
able even to remove mountains."</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"But,
suppose," some one will say, "a person, in his inculpable ignorance,
believes that he is on the right road to heaven, though he is not a
Catholic; he tries his best to live up to the dictates of his
conscience. Now, should he die in that state of belief, he would, it
seems, be condemned without his fault. We can understand that God is
not bound to give heaven to anybody, but, as he is just, he certainly
cannot condemn anybody without his fault."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Whatever
question may be made still in regard to the great truth in question is
sufficiently answered in the explanation already given of this great
truth. For the sake of greater clearness, however, we will answer a few
more questions. In the answers to these questions we shall be obliged
to repeat what has already been said. Now, as to the question just
proposed, we answer with St. Thomas and St. Augustine: "There are many
things which a man is obliged to do, but which he cannot do without the
help of divine grace: as, for instance, to love God and his neighbor,
and to believe the articles of faith; but he can do all this with the
help of grace; and <i>to whomsoever God gives his grace he
gives it out of divine mercy; and to whomsoever he does not give it, he
refuses it out of divine justice</i>, in punishment of sin committed,
or at least in punishment of original sin, as St. Augustine says. (Lib.
de correptione et gratia, c. 5 et 6; Sum. 22. q. ii. art. v.) "And the
ignorance of those things of salvation, the knowledge of which men did
not care to have is without doubt, a sin for them; but for those who
were not able to acquire such knowledge, the want of it is a punishment
for their sins," says St. Augustine; hence both are justly condemned,
and neither the one nor the other has a just excuse for being lost."
(Epist. ad Sixtum, Edit. Maur. 194, cap. vi., n. 27.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Moreover,
a person who wants to go East, but, by an innocent mistake, gets on a
train going West, will, as soon as he finds out his mistake, get off at
the next station, and take a train that goes East. In like manner, a
person who walked on a road that he, in his inculpable ignorance,
believed was the true road to heaven, must leave that road, as soon as
he finds out his mistake, and inquire for the true road to heaven. God,
in his infinite mercy, will not fail to make him find out, in due time,
the true road to heaven, if he corresponds to his grace. Hence we asked
the following question in our <i>Familiar Explanation</i>:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"What
are we to think of the salvation of those who are out of the pale of
the Church without any fault of theirs, and who never had any
opportunity to know better?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To
this question we give the following answer: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #262a2b; background-color: #ccccff;">"Their inculpable
(invincible) ignorance will not save them; but if they fear God and
live up to their conscience, God, in his infinite mercy, will furnish
them with the necessary means of salvation, even so as to send, if
needed, an angel to instruct them in the Catholic faith, rather than
let them perish through inculpable ignorance."</span> (St. Thomas Aquinas.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
S. O. remarks about this answer, "that the author is not theologically correct, for no one will ever be punished <i>through, by, or because</i> of inculpable ignorance." In these words, S. O. impudently imputes to us what we never have asserted, namely, <i>that a man will be damned on account of his inculpable ignorance.</i>"
From the fact that a person tries to live up to the dictates of his
conscience, and cannot sin against the true religion on account of
being invincibly ignorant of it, many have drawn the false conclusion
that such a person is saved, or, in other words, is in the state of
sanctifying grace, making thus invincible ignorance a means of
salvation. This conclusion is <i>contra</i> "latius hos quam
praemissae." To give an example. The Rev. Nicholas Russo, S. J.,
professor of philosophy in Boston College, says in his book, <i>The true Religion and its dogmas</i>:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"This
good faith being supposed, we say that such a Christian (he means a
baptized Protestant) is in a way a member of the Catholic Church.
Ignorance alone is the cause of his not acknowledging the authority of
his true mother. The Catholic Church does not look upon him as wholly a
stranger; she calls him her child; she presses him to her maternal
heart; through other hands she prepares him to shine in the kingdom of
heaven. Yes, the profession of a creed different from the true one will
not, of itself, bar the gates of heaven before this Christian;
invincible ignorance will, before the tribunal of the just God, ensure
the pardon of his errors against faith; and, <i>if nothing else be wanting</i>,
heaven will be, his home for eternity." We have already sufficiently
refuted these false assertions, and we have quoted them, not for the
purpose of refuting them, but for the purpose of denying emphatically
what follows after these false assertions, namely: "This is the<i> doctrine</i> held by almost all theologians, and <i>has received the sanction of our late Pope Pius IX..</i> In
his Allocution of December 9, 1854, we read the following words: "It is
indeed of faith that no one can be saved outside the Apostolic Roman
Church; that this Church is the one ark of salvation; that he who has
not entered it will perish in the deluge. But, on the other hand, it is
equally certain that, were a man to be invincibly ignorant of the true
religion, he would not be held guilty in the sight of God for not
professing it."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now, <i>in which</i> of
these words of Pope Pius IX. is any of the above false assertions of
the Rev. N. Russo, S. J., sanctioned? In which words does Pius IX. say
that a Protestant in good faith is in a way a member of the Catholic
Church? Does not Pius IX. teach quite the contrary in the following
words, which the Rev. N. Russo, S. J., quotes pp. 163-166?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Now,
whoever will carefully examine and reflect upon the condition of the
various religious societies, divided among themselves, and separated
from the Catholic Church—which, from the days of Our Lord Jesus Christ
and his Apostles, has ever exercised, by its lawful pastors, and still
does exercise, the divine power committed to it by this same Lord—will
easily satisfy himself that none of these societies, singly nor all
together, are in any way or form that one Catholic Church which our
Lord founded and built, and which he chose should be; and that he
cannot by any means say that these societies are <i>members</i> or <i>parts</i> of that Church, <i>since they are visibly separated from Catholic unity...</i></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Let
all those, then, who do not profess the unity and truth of the Catholic
Church, avail themselves of the opportunity of this (Vatican) Council,
in which the Catholic Church, to which their forefathers belonged,
affords a new proof of her close unity and her invincible vitality, and
let them satisfy the longings of their hearts, and liberate themselves
from that state in which they cannot have any assurance of their own
salvation. Let them unceasingly offer fervent prayers to the God of
Mercy, that he will throw down the wall of separation, that he will
scatter the darkness of error, and that he will lead them back to the
Holy Mother Church, in whose bosom their fathers found the salutary
pastures of life, in whom alone the whole doctrine of Jesus Christ is
preserved and handed down, and the mysteries of heavenly grace
dispensed."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now does not Pius IX. say in these words, very plainly and distinctly, that the members of all other religious societies are<i>visibly separated from Catholic unity</i>; that in this state of separation they cannot have salvation; that by fervent prayer, they should beseech God to throw down <i>the wall of</i> separation,
to scatter the darkness of error, and lead them to the Mother Church,
in which alone salvation is found." And in his Allocution to the
Cardinals held Dec. 17, 1847, Pius IX. says: "Let those, therefore, <i>who wish to be saved</i>,
come to the pillar and the ground of faith, which is the Church; let
them come to the true Church of Christ, which, in her Bishops, and in
the Roman Pontiff, the Chief Head of all, has the succession of
apostolical Authority, which has never been interrupted, which has
never counted anything of greater importance than to preach, and by all
means to keep, and defend the doctrine proclaimed by the Apostles at
Christ's command . . . . . . We shall never at any time abstain from
any cares or labors that, by the grace of Christ himself, we may bring
those <i>who are ignorant, and who are going astray</i>, to
THIS ONLY ROAD OF TRUTH AND SALVATION." Now does not Pius IX. teach
most clearly in these words that the ignorant cannot be saved by their
ignorance, but that, in order to be saved, they must come to <i>the only road of truth and salvation</i>, which is the Roman Catholic Church?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Again,
does not Pius IX. most emphatically declare, in the words quoted above
by the Rev. N. Russo, S. J., that "It is indeed of faith, that NO ONE <i>can be saved out of the Apostolic Roman Church</i>?"
How, then, we ask, can the Rev. N. Russo, S. J. say in truth, that a
Protestant in good faith, such as he described, is in a way a member of
the Catholic Church? that the Catholic Church does not look upon him as
wholly a stranger? that she calls him her child, presses him to her
maternal heart, prepares him, through other hands, to shine in the
kingdom of God? that the profession of a creed different from the true
one will not, of itself, bar the gates of heaven before this Christian,
etc.? How can this professor of philosophy at the Boston College assert
all this, whilst Pius IX teaches the very contrary? And mark especially
the scandalous assertion of the Rev. N. Russo, S. J., namely: "<i>This our opinion is the doctrine which has received the sanction of our late Pope Pius IX.</i>" To prove his scandalous assertion, he quotes the following words of Pius IX: "It is equally certain that, were a man to be <i>invincibly</i> ignorant
of the true religion, he would not be held guilty in the sight of God
for not professing it." If, in these words, Pius IX. says what no one
calls in question, that invincible ignorance of the true religion
excuses a Protestant from the sin of heresy, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #262a2b; background-color: #ccccff;">does Pius IX. thereby
teach that such invincibly ignorance saves such a Protestant? Does he
teach that invincible ignorance supplies all that is necessary for
salvation—all that you can have only in the true faith?</span> How could the
Professor of philosophy at the Jesuit College in Boston draw such a
false and scandalous conclusion from premises in which it is not
contained? <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Pius IX. has, on many occasions, condemned such liberal
opinions</span>. Read his Allocution to the Cardinals, held Dec. 17, 1847, in
which he expresses his indignation against all those who had said that
he had sanctioned such perverse opinions. "In our times," says he,
"many of the enemies of the Catholic Faith direct their efforts towards
placing every monstrous opinion on the same level with the doctrine of
Christ, or confounding it therewith; and so they try more and more to
propagate that impious system of the indifference of religions. But
quite recently—we shudder to say it, <i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">certain men</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;"> have
not hesitated to slander us by saying that we share in their folly,
favor that most wicked system, and think so benevolently of every class
of mankind as to suppose that not only the sons of the Church, but that
the </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">rest also</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">, however </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">alienated from Catholic unity they may remain</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">,
are alike in the way of salvation, and may arrive at everlasting life.
We are at a loss from horror, to find words to express our detestation
of this new and atrocious injustice that is done to us."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Mark well, Pius IX. uttered these solemn words against "<i>certain men</i>,"
whom he calls the enemies of the Catholic Faith,—he means liberal
minded Catholics and priests, as is evident from other Allocutions, in
which he says that he has condemned not less than forty times their
perverse opinions about religion. Is it not, for instance, a perverse
and monstrous opinion, when the Rev. N. Russo, S. J., says: "The
spiritual element (of the Church) comprises all the graces and virtues
that are the foundation of the spiritual life; it includes the gifts of
the Holy Ghost; in other words, it is what theologians call the soul of
the Church. (Now follows the monstrous opinion) This mysterious soul is
not limited by the bounds of the exterior organization (of the Church);
it can go far beyond; exist even in the midst of schism and heresy
unconsciously professed, and bind to our Lord hearts that are connected
by no exterior ties with the visible Body of the Church. This union
with the soul of the Church is essential to salvation; so essential
that without it none can be saved. But the necessity of belonging
likewise to the Body of the Church, though a real one, may in certain
cases offer no obstacle to salvation. This happens whenever <i>invincible ignorance</i> so
shrouds a man's intellectual vision, that he ceases to be responsible
before God for the light which he does not see"? The refutation of this
monstrous opinion is sufficiently given in all we have said before. The
very Allocution of Pius IX., from which the Rev. N. Russo quotes, is a
direct condemnation of such monstrous opinions. (See Preface)</div>
<div data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #707000; background-color: #ffff99; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now
these modern would-be theologians are not ashamed to assure us most
solemnly that their opinions are the doctrine held by almost all
theologians, and yet they cannot quote one proof from Holy Scripture,
or from the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, to give
the least support to their opinions.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
Rev. N. Russo and S. O. seem not to see the difference between saying:
Inculpable ignorance will not save a man, and inculpable ignorance will
not damn a man. Each assertion is correct, and yet there is a great
difference between the two. It will be an act of charity to enlighten
them on the point in question.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Inculpable
or invincible ignorance has never been and will never be a means of
salvation.</span> To be saved, it is necessary to be justified, or to be in
the state of sanctifying grace. In order to obtain sanctifying grace,
it is necessary to have the proper dispositions for justification; that
is, true divine faith in at least the necessary truths of salvation,
confident hope in the divine Saviour, sincere sorrow for sin, together
with the firm purpose of doing all that God has commanded, etc. Now,
these supernatural acts of faith, hope, charity, contrition, etc.,
which prepare the soul for receiving sanctifying grace, can never be
supplied by invincible ignorance; and if invincible ignorance cannot
supply the preparation for receiving sanctifying grace, much less can
it bestow sanctifying grace itself.<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> "Invincible ignorance," says St.
Thomas Aquinas, "is a punishment for sin."</span> (De Infid. q. x., art. 1.)
It is, then, a curse, but not a blessing or a means of salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
if we say that inculpable ignorance cannot save a man, we thereby do
not say that invincible ignorance damns a man. Far from it. To say,
invincible ignorance is no means of salvation, is one thing; and to
say, invincible ignorance is the cause of damnation is another. To
maintain the latter, would be wrong, for inculpable ignorance of the
fundamental principles of faith excuses a heathen from the sin of
infidelity, and a Protestant from the sin of heresy; because such
invincible ignorance, being only a simple involuntary privation, is no
sin. Hence Pius IX. said "that, were a man to be invincibly ignorant of
the true religion, such invincible ignorance would not be sinful before
God; that, if such a person should observe the precepts of the Natural
Law and do the will of God to the best of his knowledge, God, in his
infinite mercy, may enlighten him so as to obtain eternal life; for,
the Lord, who knows the heart and thoughts of man will, in his infinite
goodness, not suffer any one to be lost forever without his own fault."</div>

HOW ALMIGHTY GOD LEADS TO SALVATION THOSE WHO ARE INCULPABLY IGNORANT OF THE TRUTHS OF SALVATION.</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Almighty
God, who is just and condemns no one without his fault, puts,
therefore, such souls as are in invincible ignorance of the truths of
salvation, in the way of salvation, either by natural or supernatural
means.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
is a Protestant. He lived in a part of Germany where he always remained
invincibly ignorant of the true religion, but lived up to the dictates
of his conscience. At last he resolved to emigrate to this country,
with a view of benefiting himself temporally. But Almighty God had
other designs in regard to him. He wished to put him in the way of
salvation. This Protestant goes into a Protestant church in this
country. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">He sees at once a vast difference between the Protestants in
America and those in Europe. He is perplexed at this difference, and
begins to doubt about the truth of Protestantism. To make sure whether
he is right or wrong in his religion, he communicates his doubts to a
well-instructed Catholic friend, who explains to him what true religion
is, and where it is found. Accordingly, as he is upright before God,
and wishes to save his soul, he makes up his mind to become a Catholic.</span>
Thus the emigration of this Protestant to this country was, in the
hands of God, the natural means of putting him in the way of salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Not
long ago, a friend of mine told me that a lady who was on board a
steamer dropped a Catholic book into the water. The captain of the boat
saved the book, and read it before returning it, and at last became a
Catholic. Humanly speaking, the falling of the book into the water was
quite accidental; but Almighty God made use of this circumstance to put
in the way of salvation one who had been invincibly ignorant, and who
had not acted against his conscience.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
is a young lady. Her parents profess no religion. They never go to
church. They never speak of religion at home, but take care that their
daughter may not become acquainted with wicked companions. So she
remains naturally good and innocent. To give her a good education, they
place her in a Catholic institution. There she becomes acquainted with
Catholic companions, with Catholic devo tions, ceremonies, with the
service of the Church, etc. She is inquisitive, and wishes to know the
meaning of everything that she sees and hears about Catholicity. She is
pleased with the Catholic Church, and exclaims: "I never heard anything
of the kind before." At last she becomes a Catholic. Here, education is
the means which God uses to place on the road to heaven one who had
been invincibly ignorant of the means of salvation, and had remained
naturally good and innocent.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Many
similar instances could be quoted to show that Almighty God, in his
goodness, uses <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">natural ways and means to place invincibly ignorant
souls, that live up to their conscience, in the way of salvation. This
is the ordinary way of his divine Providence, viz., to lead men, by
natural ways and means, to what is supernatural.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
there may be exceptional cases, in which Almighty God uses supernatural
means to save a man inculpably ignorant and living up to his
conscience. Suppose such a one is living in a country in which,
naturally speaking, during his lifetime he can hear nothing of the
Catholic religion. In this case, or, as has been expressed above, "<i>if needed</i>,"
Almighty God will, in his infinite mercy, make use of a supernatural
means to lead that person to salvation, rather than let him perish
through inculpable ignorance. He can supernaturally enlighten him, so
that he may know what he must believe in order to be saved. "Many of
the Gentiles," says St. Thomas, "received divine revelation concerning
Christ, as is evident from what they have foretold. Job says: 'I know
that my Redeemer liveth; and in the last day I shall rise out of the
earth.' " (Job, xix. 25.) The Sibyls also have foretold certain things
of Christ, as St. Augustine says (Cont. Faust. lib. xiii., c. 15.). At
the time of Constantine Augustus and his mother Irene <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">a certain grave
was found in which a body was lying that had a plate on its chest, on
which were found the words: "Christ will be born of a Virgin, and I
believe in him. O Sun, at the time of Irene and Constantine you shall
see me again."</span> (Baron. ad ann. Christi, 780.) This is in harmony with
what Job says: "Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth."
(Job, xxxv. 11.) (De Fide, q. ii., art vii.) Indeed, Almighty God, in
his infinite mercy, can dispose a soul, in a moment, for receiving
sanctifying grace, and infuse, at the same time, this grace into the
soul. The light of true faith, the voluntary inclination of free-will
to conform to the will and grace of God, the determination of free-will
to abstain from sin, the remission of sins, and the infusion of grace,
take place by a simultaneous movement; for justification is
instantaneous, and has no successive gradation. It is acquired by grace
and by the operation of the Holy Ghost, who takes possession of the
soul at once: "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a
mighty wind, and it filled the whole house." (Acts, ii. 2.) Resistance
and mental deliberation may be long and slow on the part of the sinner,
but victory and triumph are quick and sudden on the part of God, by the
infusion of his grace into a repentant soul.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
are, indeed, remarkable instances of sudden conversions of souls in
times past and present, which prove that such powerful effects can be
and are operated by the grace of God. Such a marvelous prodigy, such a
sudden spiritual renovation of the soul of a man, is a most
extra-ordinary grace, which Almighty God can grant, even to a great
sinner in his last hour. "As God is good," says St. Augustine, "he may
save a person without any merits on his part."</div>

Almighty
God can also, by a miracle, carry a priest to a person invincibly
ignorant and living up to the dictates of his conscience; or he can
carry such a person to a priest-- or make use of an angel or a saint to
lead him to the way of salvation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Among
the holy souls of past centuries who have been loaded with signal
favors and privileges by Almighty God, we must place, in the first
rank, Mary of Jesus, often styled of Agreda, from the name of the place
in Spain where she passed her life. The celebrated J. Goerres, in his
grand work, "Mysticism," does not hesitate to cite as an example the
life of Mary of Agreda, in a chapter entitled, "The Culminating Point
of Christian Mysticism." Indeed, there could not be found a more
perfect model of the highest mystic ways.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
holy virgin burned with a most ardent love for God and for the
salvation of souls. One day, she beheld in a vision all the nations of
the world. She saw the greater part of men were deprived of God's
grace, and running headlong to everlasting perdition. She saw how the
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Indians of Mexico put fewer obstacles to the grace of conversion than
any other nation who were out of the Catholic Church, and how God, on
this account, was ready to show mercy to them.</span> Hence she redoubled her
prayers and penances to obtain for them the grace of conversion. God
heard her prayers. He commanded her to teach the Catholic religion to
those Mexican Indians. From that time, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">she appeared, by way of
bilocation, to the savages, not less than five hundred times,
instructing them in all the truths of our holy religion, and performing
miracles in confirmation of these truths.</span> When all were converted to
the faith, she told them that religious priests would be sent by God to
receive them into the Church by baptism. As she had told, so it
happened. God, in his mercy, sent to these good Indians several
Franciscan fathers, who were greatly astonished when they found those
savages fully instructed in the Catholic doctrine. When they asked the
Indians who had instructed them, they were told that a holy virgin
appeared among them many times, and taught them the Catholic religion
and confirmed it by miracles. (Life of the Venerable Mary of Jesus of
Agreda, § xii.) <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">Thus those good Indians were brought miraculously to
the knowledge of the true religion in the Catholic Church, because they
followed their conscience in observing the natural law.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Something
similar is related in the life of Father J. Anchieta, S. J. (chap.
vi.). One day, this great man of God entered the woods of Itannia, in
Brazil, without any assignable motive and, in fact, as if he were
guided by another. At a little distance he perceived an old man seated
on the ground and leaning against a tree. "Hasten your steps," cried
the old man when he saw the father, for I have been expecting you for
some time." The saintly missionary asked him who he was, and from what
country he had come. "My country," said the old man, "is beyond the
sea." He added other things, which led the father to infer that he had
come from a distant province, near Rio de la Plata, and that he had
either been conveyed by supernatural means from his own country to the
place where he then was, or that, by the direction and guidance of
heaven, he had been <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">led thither with great labor and fatigue, and had
placed himself where the father found him, in full expectation of the
accomplishment of the divine promise.</span> Father Anchieta then asked him
why he had come to that place. "I have come hither," he answered, "in
order that I might be taught the right path." This is the expression
which the Brazilians use when they speak of the laws of God and of the
way to heaven. Father Anchieta felt convinced, from the answers of the
old man, that he had never had more than one wife, had never taken up
arms except in his own just defence, and that <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #707000; background-color: #ffff99;">he had never grievously
transgressed the law of nature.</span> He perceived, moreover, from the
arguments of the old man, that he knew many truths relative to the
Author of nature, to the soul, and to virtue and vice. When Father
Anchieta had explained to him several of the mysteries of our holy
religion, he said: "It is thus that I have hitherto understood them,
but I knew not how to define them." After having sufficiently
instructed the old man, Father Anchieta collected some rain-water, from
the leaves of the wild thistles, baptized him, and named him Adam. The
new disciple of Christ immediately experienced in his soul the holy
effects of baptism. He raised his eyes and hands to heaven, and thanked
Almighty God for the mercy which he had bestowed upon him. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Soon after,
he expired in the arms of Father Anchieta</span>, who buried him according to
the ceremonies of the Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
About these miraculous conversions Dr. O. A. Brownson well remarks:--</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"That
there may be persons in heretical and schismatical societies,
invincibly ignorant of the Church, who so perfectly correspond to the
graces they receive, that Almighty God will, by extraordinary means,
bring them to the Church, is believable and perfectly compatible with
the known order of his grace, as is evinced by two beautiful examples
recorded in Holy Scripture. The one is that of the eunuch of Candice,
Queen of Ethiopia: he, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">following the lights that God gave him, though
living at a great distance from Jerusalem, became acquainted with the
worship of the true God, and was accustomed to go from time to time to
Jerusalem to adore him. When, however, the Gospel began to be
published, the Jewish religion could no longer save him; but being well
disposed, by fidelity to the graces he had hitherto received, he was
not forsaken by Almighty God; for when he was returning to his own
country from Jerusalem, the Lord sent a message by an angel to St.
Philip to meet and instruct him in the faith of Christ, and baptize him
(Acts, viii. 26). </span><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">The other example is that of Cornelius, who was an
officer of the Roman army of the Italic band, and brought up in
idolatry. In the course of events, his regiment coming to Judea, he saw
there a religion different from his own,--the worship of one only God.
Grace moving his heart, he believed in this God, and following the
further notion's of divine grace, he gave much alms to the poor, and
prayed earnestly to this God to direct him what to do. Did God abandon
him? By no means; he sent an angel from heaven to tell him to whom to
apply in order to be fully instructed in the knowledge and faith of
Jesus Christ, and to be received into his Church by baptism.</span> Now, what
God did in these two cases he is no less able to do in all others, and
has a thousand ways in his wisdom to conduct souls who are truly in
earnest to the knowledge of the truth, and to salvation. And though
such a soul were in the remotest wilds of the world, God could send a
Philip, or an angel from heaven, to instruct him, or, by the superabundance of his internal grace, or by numberless other ways unknown to us,
could infuse into his soul the knowledge of the truth. The great affair
is, that we carefully do our part in complying with what he gives us;
for of this we are certain, that, if we be not wanting to him, he will
never be wanting to us, but, as he begins the good work in us, will
also perfect it, if we be careful to correspond and to put no hindrance
to his designs.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"However,
in all the instances of extraordinary or miraculous intervention of
Almighty God, whether in the order of nature, or in the order of grace
known to us, he has intervened <i>ad Ecclesiam</i>, and
there is not a shadow of authority for supposing that he ever has
miraculously intervened or ever will intervene otherwise. To assume
that he will, under any circumstances, intervene to save men without
the <i>medium ordinarium</i>, (the Church) is perfectly
gratui tous, to say the least. To bring men in an extraordinary manner
to the Church is easily admissible, because it does not dispense with
the revealed economy of salvation, nor imply its inadequacy, but to
intervene to save them with out it appears to us to dispense with it,
and to imply that it is not adequate to the salvation of all whom God's
goodness leads him to save. That those in societies alien to the
Church, invincibly ignorant of the Church, if they corre spond to the
graces they receive, and persevere, will be saved, we do not doubt, but
not where they are, or without being brought to the Church. They are
sheep in the prescience of God, Catholics, but sheep not yet gathered
into the fold. "Other sheep I have," says our Blessed Lord, "that are
not of this fold; them also I must bring; they shall hear my voice; and
there shall be made one fold and one shepherd." This is conclusive, and
that these must be brought, and enter the fold, which is the Church, in
this life, as St. Augustine expressly teaches."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But is no one brought to the Faith and Church of Christ but those who correspond as they ought with the graces received before?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"God
forbid," says Bishop Hay: "for, though it be certain that God will
never fail to bring all those to the Faith and Church of Christ who
faithfully correspond with the graces he bestows upon them, yet he has
nowhere bound himself to bestow that singular mercy on no other. Were
this the case, how few, indeed, would receive it! But God, to show the
infinite riches of his goodness and mercy, be stows it on many of the
most undeserving; he bestowed it even upon many of the hardened Jews
who crucified Jesus Christ, and of the priests who persecuted him to
death, even though they had obstinately opposed all the means he had
previously used by his doctrine and miracles to convert them. In this
he acts as Lord and Master, and as a free disposer of his own gifts; he
gives to all the helps necessary and sufficient for their present
state; to those who cooperate with these helps he never fails to give
more abundantly; and in order to show the riches of his mercy on
numbers of the most undeserving, he bestows his most singular favors
for their conversion. Hence none have cause to complain; all ought to
be solicitous to cooperate with what they have; none ought to despair
on account of their past ingratitude, but be assured that God, who is
rich in mercy, will yet have mercy on them, if they return to him.
Those only ought to fear and tremble who remain obstinate in their evil
ways, who continue to resist the calls of his mercy, and put off their
conversion from day to day. For though his in finite mercy knows no
bounds in pardoning sins, however numerous and grievous, if we repent,
yet the offers of his mercy are limited, and if we exceed these limits
by our obstinacy, there will be no more mercy for us. The time of mercy
is fixed for every one, and if we fail to embrace its offers within
that time, the gates of mercy will be closed against us. When the
bridegroom has once entered into the marriage-chamber the doors are
shut, and the foolish virgins who were unprepared are for ever
excluded, with this dreadful reproach from Jesus Christ, --<i>I know ye not, depart from me, ye workers of iniquity</i>.
Seeing, therefore, that no man knows how long the time of mercy will
last for him, he ought not to delay a moment; if he neglect the present
offer, it may be the last. That hour will come like a thief in the
night when we least expect it, as Christ himself assures us, and
therefore he commands us to be always ready."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Let us mark well: <i>To
assert that acts of divine faith, hope, and charity are possible out of
the Catholic Church is a direct denial of the article of faith: There
is positively no salvation out of the Catholic Church; for, on account
of these acts, God unites himself with the soul in time and eternity.
If these acts, then, were possible out of the Catholic Church, there
would be salvation out of the Catholic Church, to say which is a direct
denial of the above article of faith</i>, and therefore the assertion is heretical.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">"A
theologian," says St. Augustine, "who is humble, will never teach
anything as true Catholic doctrine, unless he is perfectly sure of the
truth which he asserts. If he is corrected in anything in which he
erred, he thanks for the correction, because his only desire is to know
the truth."</span> (Epist. ad S. Hier. 73 n. 1.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
He hates novelties--<i>Animus ab omni novitate alienus et antiquitatis amans</i>.
What he tries to assert and to defend is the pure doctrine of faith
contained in Holy Scripture and Tradition. True Catholic doctrine, says
Tertullian, is easily distinguished from false doctrine by the
following rule: "<i>Manifestetur id esse dominicum et verum, quod sit prius traditum; id autem extraneum et falsum, quod sit posterius immissum</i>."
(Lib. de Praescrip. cap. 31. Ed. Rig. 1675, p. 213.) <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">A doctrine which
has been taught and believed from the beginning is true Catholic
doctrine;</span> but any other doctrine is false.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
St. Paul admonishes St. Timothy, "O Timothy, keep that which is
committed to thy trust, avoid the profane novelties of words and
oppositions of knowledge falsely so called." (Chapt. vi. 20.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Vocum,
id est, dogmatum, rerum, sententiarum novitates, quae sunt vetustati et
antiquitati contrariae, quae si recipiantur, necesse est ut fides
beatorum Patrum, aut tota, aut certe magna ex parte violetur.
(Vincentius Lirinensis, Commonit., cap. 24.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What has been believed by <i>all</i> the faithful at <i>all times</i> and <i>everywhere</i>,
is truly Catholic doctrine. Any doctrines that are either wholly or at
least very much opposed to the faith of the holy Fathers of the Church,
are novel teachings, which are to be avoided. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">The article of faith
reads not, "Out of the soul of the Church there is no salvation;" it
reads, "Out of the Church (consisting of Body and Soul) there is
positively no salvation for any one."</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
rest assured that, as no one will let you have a precious article for
counterfeit money, neither will Almighty God let you have heaven for
serving him in a counterfeit religion by which he is greatly insulted
and which he has most strictly forbidden, and which St. Paul and the
Church have most solemnly accursed.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Such
is, and such has always been the faith of the Church. It would be
endless to collect all the testimonies of the Fathers of the Church on
this subject. Let a few suffice, as a sample of the whole. St.
Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, and disciple of the Apostles, in his
Epistle to the Philadelphians, says: "Those who make a separation shall
not inherit the kingdom of God." St. Irenaeus, bishop of Lyons, and
martyr in the second age, says: "The Church is the gate of life, but
all the others are thieves and robbers, and therefore to be avoided." (<i>De Haer</i>.,
lib. i. c. 3.) St. Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, and martyr about the
middle of the third age, says, "The house of God is but one, and no one
can have salvation but in the Church." (<i>Epist</i>. 62, <i>alias</i> 4.)
And in his book on the unity of the Church, he says: "He cannot have
God for his father who has not the Church for his mother. If any one
could escape who was out of the ark of Noe, then he who is out of the
Church may also escape." So much for these most primitive fathers.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
the fourth century, St. Chrysostom speaks thus: "We know that salvation
belongs to the Church ALONE, and that no one can partake of Christ, nor
be saved, out of the Catholic Church and the Catholic faith." (<i>Hom. i. in Pasch</i>.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
St.
Augustine, in the same age, says: "The Catholic Church alone is the
body of Christ; the Holy Ghost gives life to no one who is out of this
body." (<i>Epist</i>. 185, § 50, <i>Edit. Bened</i>.)
And in another place, "Salvation no one can have but in the Catholic
Church. Out of the Catholic Church he may have anything but salvation.
He may have honor, he may have baptism, he may have the Gospel, he may
both believe and preach in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Ghost; but he can find salvation nowhere but in the
Catholic Church." (<i>Serm. ad. Caesariens. de Emerit</i>.)
Again, "In the Catholic Church," says he, "there are both good and bad.
But those that are separated from her, as long as their opinions are
opposite to hers, cannot be good. For though the conversation of some
of them appears commendable, yet their very separation from the Church
makes them bad, according to that of our Saviour (Luke, xi. 23), 'He
that is not with me is against is against me; and he that gathers not
with me scattereth.'" --(<i>Epist</i>. 209, <i>ad Feliciam</i>.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Let
a heretic," says St. Augustine, "confess Christ before men and shed his
blood for his confession, it avails nothing to his salvation; for,
though he confessed Christ, he was put to death out of the Church."
This is very true; any one who is put to death out of the Church could
not have divine charity, for St. Paul says: "If I should deliver my
body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.'" (I
Cor. xiii. 3.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Out
of the Church there is no salvation;" Who can deny it? And therefore,
whatever truths of the Church are held, out of the Church they avail
nothing unto salvation. Those who are separated from the unity of the
Church are not with Christ, but are against him, and he that gathereth
not with him, scattereth. (Matt. xii. 30.) (<i>Contra Donatistas</i>.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Lactantius,
another great light of the fourth age, says: "It is the Catholic Church
only which retains the true worship. This Church is the fountain of
truth, it is the house of faith, it is the temple of God. If any one
either comes not into this Church, or departs from it, his eternal
salvation is desperate. No one must flatter himself obsti nately, for
his soul and salvation are at stake. "--(<i>Divin. Instit</i>., lib. iv., c. 30.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
St.
Fulgentius, in the sixth century, speaks thus: "Hold most firmly, and
without the least doubt, that neither any heretic or schismatic
whosoever, who is baptized out of the Catholic Church, can partake at
all of eternal life if, before the end of this life, he be not restored
to the Catholic Church and incorporated therein." (<i>Lib. de Fid</i>.,
c. 37.) According to the first Canon of the Fourth Council of Carthage,
the last of the articles which a Bishop-Elect is to be asked before his
ordination is: "<i>Credatne quod extra Ecclesiam nullus salvetur."</i> Whether he believes that no one can be saved out of the Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We repeat the words of St. Alphonsus: --</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #262a2b; background-color: #ccccff;">"How
grateful, then," he says "ought we to be to God for the gift of the
true faith. How great is not the number of infidels, heretics, and
schismatics. The world is full of them, and, if they die out of the
Church, they will all be condemned, except infants who die after
baptism."</span> (<i>Catech. first command</i>., No. 10 and 19.)
Because, as St. Augustine says, where there is no divine faith, there
can be no divine charity, and where there is no divine charity, there
can be no justifying or sanctifying grace, and to die without being in
sanctifying grace is to be lost forever. (Lib. I. Serm. Dom. in monte,
cap. v.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
All
the Fathers of the Church have never hesitated to pronounce all those
forever lost who die out of the Roman Catholic Church. "He who has not
the Church for his mother," says St. Cyprian, "cannot have God for his
Father;" and with him the Fathers in general say that, "as all who were
not in the ark of Noe perished in the waters of the Deluge, so shall
all perish who are out of the true Church." St. Augustine and the other
bishops of Africa, at the Council of Zirta, A. D. 412, say: "Whosoever
is separated from the Catholic Church, however commendable in his own
opinion his life may be, he shall, for the very reason that he is
separated from the union of Christ, not see life, but the wrath of God
abideth on him." Therefore, says St. Augustine, "a Christian ought to
fear nothing so much as to be separated from the body of Christ (the
Church). For, if he be separated from the body of Christ, he is not a
member of Christ; if not a member of Christ, he is not quickened by his
Spirit." (Tract. xxvii. in Joan., n. 6, Col. 1992, tom. iii.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"To
an enlightened Catholic," says Brownson, "there is something very
shocking in the supposition that the article of faith, 'out of the
Church positively no one can be saved,' should be only <i>generally</i> true,
and therefore not an article of faith. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">All Catholic dogmas, if
Catholic, are not only generally, but universally true, and admit no
exception or restriction whatever.</span> If men could come to Christ and be
saved without the Church, or union with Christ in the Church, she would
not be Catholic, and it would be false to call her the 'One, Holy,
Catholic Church,' as in the Creed."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
Church is called Catholic," says the Catechism of the Council of Trent,
"because all who desire eternal salvation must embrace and cling to
her, like those who entered the ark, to escape perishing in the flood."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
any one who explains away the dogma of exclusive salvation, denies, in
principle, the Catholicity of the Church and the faith she holds and
teaches.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Of
every dogma of the Church is true what Pope Pius IX. has declared of
the dogma of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
namely: "wherefore, if any persons--which God forbid--shall presume to
think in their hearts otherwise than we have defined, let them know
that they are condemned by their own judgment, that they have suffered
shipwreck in faith, and have fallen away from the unity of the Church."
And in the definition of the dogma of the Infallibility of the Roman
Pontiff it is said: "But if any one--which God may avert!--presume to
contradict this our definition, let him be anathema."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
must believe the truths of faith, not on account of human reasons,
which are given in support and corroboration of any article of faith,
but on account of the divine authority, which has revealed the
articles of faith and proposes them for our belief by the Church. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">Any
one who believes these articles only on account of human reasons, says
St. Gregory, has no merit of his faith</span>. (Homil. 26 in Evang.) The
truths of the Gospel have been revealed by God, not to be understood,
but to be believed. So, when we know that our Lord Jesus Christ has
taught something and proposes it for our belief by his Church, we have
to believe it most firmly and without the least doubt.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
are, says St. Thomas, three kinds of infidelity: there is the
infidelity of the heathen or the gentiles, the infidelity of the Jews,
and the infidelity of' heretics. The errors of the Gentiles concerning
God are, it is true, more numerous than those of the Jews, and the
errors of the Jews regarding the true faith are more numerous than
those of heretics, yet the sin of infidelity of the Jews is greater
than that of the infidelity of the heathen, and the sin of infidelity
of heretics is greater than the sin of infidelity of the Jews and
Gentiles. The reason is: The Gentiles never received the faith of the
Gospel, but the Jews received it in its figure in the Old Testament
which they perversely interpret and corrupt, and therefore their sin of
infidelity is greater than that of the Gentiles. The sin of infidelity
of the heretics is greater than that of the Jews because they profess
the faith of the Gospel, but oppose this faith by corrupting it, and
therefore they sin more grievously than the Jews. Hence St. Peter says:
"For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice,
than, after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment
which was delivered to them. (II Pet. ii. 21.) The Gentiles never knew
the way of justice, but heretics and the Jews knew it to a certain
degree and yet have left it, and therefore their sin is greater.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Here
some one might say: "If the errors of the Gentiles concerning faith are
more numerous than those of the Jews, does it not follow that the
Gentiles are more guilty than the Jews? And if the Jews are in more
points more more remote from the true faith than heretics, does it not
follow that the Jews are more guilty before God than heretics?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"By
no means; for the greatness of the guilt of the sin of infidelity does
not arise from the number of errors about the things that belong to the
faith, but from the knowledge of the faith which one has received.
Hence he who sins against the faith which he has received, by
perversely interpreting and corrupting it, sins more grievously than he
who has never received the faith, just as one sins more grievously who
does not keep what he has promised, than another who does not do what
he never promised. As the Gentiles never received the faith, they sin
against it less grievously than the Jews, who received it at least in
figure, believing, as they do, the Old Testament, in which the New
Testament, the Law of Grace, was prefigured; and the Jews sin less
grievously against the true faith of the Gospel, which they never
received, than heretics do, who make profession of faith in the Gospel,
which they receive but perversely interpret and corrupt." (Pars 2a 2ae
quaest. x., art. v. et vi.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Hence,"
says Cornelius a Lapide, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">"it is never lawful to be glad to see heresy
preached and, propagated, even among the heathens</span>; for, though they
announce Christ, yet, at the same time, they also announce many
heresies concerning Christ or his Church and sacraments, and <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">these
heresies are more pernicious than paganism itself;</span> so that it is far
better for the heathens not to receive any truth or doctrine from
heretics, than to receive it mixed with so many perverse errors and
heresies." (Comment. in Epist. ad Philip., c. i., v. 18.) St.
Augustine, as we have seen, says the same.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Alas! how shocking, therefore, for Catholics were those articles in the <i>Buffalo Catholic Union and Times</i>, in which so many things were falsely asserted in favor of Protestant belief, and altogether contrary to Catholic faith.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"If
it then be true," says O. A. Brownson, "—and as sure as God exists and
can neither be deceived nor deceive, it is true,--that there is no
salvation out of the Church, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">what a fearful responsibility should we
not incur, were we to forbear to proclaim it, or by our mistimed or
misplaced qualifications to encourage the unbelieving, the heretical,
or the indifferent to hope the contrary</span>! And how much more fearful
still, if we should go farther, and attempt in our publications to
prove that he who firmly insists on it is harsh, unjust, uncharitable,
running in his rash zeal to an unauthorized extreme!"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Those
who have learned theology well," says St. Basil, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">"will not allow even
one iota of Catholic dogmas to be betrayed.</span> They will, if necessary,
willingly undergo any kind of death in their defence." (Apud. Theod.,
lib. 4, Hist. Eccl., c. xvii.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Not
to oppose erroneous doctrine," says Pope Innocent III. (Dist. 85.), "is
to approve of it; and not to defend true doctrine is to suppress it."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Let
us always remember the words of Leo XIII., quoted at the end of chapter
I., namely: "That method of teaching which rests on the authority and
judgment of individual professors has a changeable basis, and hence
arise different and conflicting opinions, which foster dissensions and
controversies which have agitated Catholic schools for a long time and
not without great detriment to Christian science. To gather and to
scatter opinions according to our own will and pleasure is to be
reputed the vilest license, lying, and false science, a disgrace and
slavery of the mind." A true, genuine Catholic, "says Vincent of
Lerins, "is he who loves the truths of God, the Church, the Body of
Christ; who values nothing more highly than our divine religion, our
holy Catholic faith; who does not suffer himself to be led into any
kind of religious error by the authority, learning, eloquence,
philosophy of any person. He despises this human greatness; he remains
firm and unshaken in his faith, and is determined to believe only what
the Catholic Church has everywhere and always taught and believed from
the beginning; he rejects, as novel doctrine, whatever is taught
against the doctrine of the Fathers of the Church, and looks upon
modern opinions in religion as snares of the devil in which the
ignorant and unwise are caught, "for there must also be heresies," says
St. Paul (I. Cor. xi. 19.) by which the faith of good and firm
Catholics becomes better known and more remarkable. Let, therefore, all
those who have not learned sound Catholic theology, unlearn well what
they have not learned well; let them try to understand each dogma of
the Church as far as possible, but let them firmly believe whatever
they cannot understand." (Commonit.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
the history of the foundation of the Society of Jesus, in the Kingdom
of Naples, is related the following story of a noble youth of Scotland,
named William Ephinstone. He was a relative of the Scottish King. Born
a heretic, he followed the false sect to which he belonged; but
enlightened by divine grace, which showed him his errors, he went to
France, where, with the assistance of a good Jesuit Father, who was
also a Scotchman, he at length saw the truth, abjured heresy, and
became a Catholic. He went afterward to Rome and joined the Society of
Jesus, in which he died a happy death. When at Rome, a friend of his
found him one day very much afflicted, and weeping. He asked him the
cause, and the young man answered that in the night his mother had
appeared to him, and said: <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">"My son, it is well for thee that thou hast
entered the true Church; I am already lost, because I died in heresy."</span>
(St. Liguori, <i>Glories of Mary</i>.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
read, in the Life of St. Rose of Viterbo, that she was inflamed with
great zeal for the salvation of souls. She felt a most tender
compassion for those who were living in heresy. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">In order to convince a
certain lady, who was a heretic, that she could not be saved in her
sect, and that it was necessary for salvation to die a true member of
the Catholic Church, she made a large fire, threw herself into it, and
remained in it for three hours, without being hurt</span>. This lady, together
with many others, on witnessing the miracle, abjured their heresy, and
became Catholics.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
When
the Emperor Valens ordered that St. Basil the Great should go into
banishment, God, in the high court of heaven, passed, at the same time,
sentence against the emperor's only son, named Valentinian Galatus, a
child then about six years old. That very night the royal infant was
seized with a violent fever, from which the physicians were unable to
give him the least relief; and the Empress Dominica told the emperor
that this calamity was a just punishment of heaven for his banishing
the bishop, on which account she had been disquieted by terrible
dreams. Thereupon Valens sent for the saint, who was about to go into
exile. No sooner had the holy bishop entered the palace, than the fever
of the child began to abate. St. Basil assured the parents of the
absolute recovery of their son, on condition that they would order him
to be instructed in the Catholic faith. The emperor accepted the
condition, St. Basil prayed, and the young prince was cured. But
Valens, unfaithful to his promise, afterwards allowed an Arian bishop
to baptize the child. The young prince immediately relapsed and died.
(Butler's <i>Lives of the Saints</i>, June 14th.) By this
miraculous cure of the child, God made manifest the truths of our
religion; and <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">by the sudden death of the child, which followed upon the
heretical baptism, God showed in what abomination he holds heresy.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
If
no one, then, can be saved except in the Roman Catholic Church, all
those who are out of it are bound to become members of the Church. This
is what commonsense tells every non-Catholic. In worldly affairs,
Protestants never presume to act without good advice. They never
compromise their pecuniary interests or their lives, by becoming their
own private interpreters and practitioners of law or medicine. Both the
legal and the medical books are before them, written by modern authors,
in clear and explicit language, but they have too much practical common
sense to attempt their interpretation. They prefer always to employ
expert lawyers and physicians, and accept their interpretations, and
act according to their advice. Now, every non-Catholic believes that
every practical member of the Catholic Church will be saved. Hence,
when there is question about eternal salvation and eternal damnation, a
sensible man will take the surest way to heaven. It was this that
decided Henry IV. of France to abjure his errors. A historian relates
that this king, having called before him a conference of the doctors of
either Church, and <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">seeing that the Protestant ministers agreed with one
accord, that salvation was attainable in the Catholic religion,
immediately addressed a Protestant minister in the following manner:
"Now, sir, is it true that people can be saved in the Catholic
religion?" "Most assuredly it is, sire, provided they live up to it."
"If that be so," said the monarch, "prudence demands that I should be
of the Catholic religion, not of yours, seeing that in the Catholic
Church I may be saved, as even you admit; whereas, if I remain in
yours, Catholics maintain that I cannot be saved.</span> Both prudence and
good sense tell me that I should follow the surest way, and so I
propose doing." Some days after, the king made his abjuration at St.
Denis. (Guillois, ii. 67.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Christ
assures us that the way to everlasting life is narrow, and trodden by
few. The Catholic religion is that narrow road to heaven.
Protestantism, on the contrary, is that broad way to perdition trodden
by so many. He who is content to follow the crowd, condemns himself by
taking the broad way. A man says, "I would like to believe, but I
cannot." You say you "cannot believe." But what have you done, what
means have you employed, in order to acquire the gift of faith? If you
have neglected the means, you show clearly that you do not desire the
end.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
God
bestowed great praise upon his servant Job. He said of him that, "he
was a simple and upright man, fearing God and avoiding evil (Job, i.
8.) There is nothing that renders a soul more acceptable to God than
simplicity and sincerity of heart in seeking him. There is, on the
other hand, nothing more detestable to him than a double-minded man,
who does not walk sincerely with his God: "Woe to them that are of a
double heart, …and to the sinner that goeth on the earth two ways."
(Ecclus. ii. 14.) Such a man should not expect that the Lord will
enlighten and direct him. Our Saviour assures us that his heavenly
Father makes himself known to the little ones, that is, to those who
have recourse to him with a simple and sincere heart.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
sincerity and uprightness of heart with God are especially necessary
for him who is in search of the true religion. We see around us
numberless jarring sects, contradicting one another; we see the one
condemning what the other approves, and approving what others condemn;
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">we see some embracing certain divine truths, and others rejecting those
truths with horror, as the doctrine of devils. Now common-sense tells
every one that both parties cannot be right; that the true religion
cannot be on either side. Among such confusion of opinions, the mind is
naturally at a loss how to discover that one true Church in whose bosom
the truth is to be found.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">In
the search after truth, one must find immense difficulties.</span> There is
prejudice. It is the effect of early training, of life-long teaching,
of reading, and of living in the world. It is the result of almost
imperceptible impressions, and yet its force, as an obstacle, is such
as in many cases to defy human efforts to remove it. It is like the
snow which begins to fall, as the darkness sets in, on roof and road,
in little flakes that come down silently all the night, and in the
morning the branches bend, and the doors are blocked, and the traffic
on road and rail is brought to a standstill.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There,
again, is the favor of friends,<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;"> the fear of what the world will say,
worldly interest, and the like.</span> All these will be set to work by the
enemy of the souls to <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">blind the understanding, that it may not see the
truth</span>, and to avert the will from embracing it. Nothing but a
particular grace from heaven can enlighten the mind to perceive the
light of truth through such clouds of darkness, and to strengthen the
will with courage to embrace it, in spite of all these difficulties. It
is, without doubt, the will of God, that "all men should be saved" and
come to the knowledge of the truth" (I Tim. ii. 4.); but it is also the
will of God, that, in order to come to this knowledge, men must seek it
with a sincere and upright heart, and this sincerity of heart must show
itself in their earnest desire to know the truth: "Blessed are they
that hunger and thirst after justice, for they shall be filled." Hence
they must labor diligently to find out the truth, using every means in
their power for that purpose. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Negligence of inquiry, and the evidences
of our faith, are great, and therefore the ignorance of many must needs
be highly sinful.</span> Man's understanding was given to him to enable him to
embrace holy and salutary truths. Negligence in this is worthy of
damnation; and as everything tends easily to its natural end, so our
natural, intellectual virtue is nearer finding God than it is finding
his contrary, for God is always ready to aid those who seek him with a
good and honest heart; and thus we find that to <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Cornelius, a Pagan, yet
living religiously, and fearing God, St. Peter was sent to convert him
and all his family.</span> God, says St. Thomas Aquinas, will send an angel to
a man ignorant of the Christian law but living up to his conscience, to
instruct him in the Christian religion, rather than let him perish
through inculpable ignorance.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
reference to this matter, Mr. Pelisson, a celebrated convert to our
holy religion, says: "Will you expostulate with Almighty God, like Job?
He will confound you; you will imagine that many things are in your
favor with God. You say, you have done what was in your power. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">The Lord
will make you see that you have not done the hundreth part of what you
should and could have done. </span>Is there nothing that you liked better than
the desire to please God? Is there nothing that you loved more ardently
than God? Is there nothing that you like better to know than the truths
he has revealed? <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Has your want of the spirit of penance, or your spirit
of vanity, or your hardness of heart, not put an obstacle to the
heavenly lights which God wished to shed upon your mind</span>. Say what you
please, as to myself, who have been led by his infinite mercy to his
Church, I know that I have not done one thousandth part of what I could
have done to obtain this great grace of his infinite mercy." (See
Cursus Completus Theologiae, vol. iv., p. 293.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
are laws to regulate man's will and affections, and so there are also
laws to fix limits to his understanding—to determine what he should
believe and what be should not believe; and therefore ignorance is
damnable, for man ought carefully to inquire what he must believe; and
what laws he must observe; whereas the multitude run, with all their
strength, to sin and death as their end, and it is not strange that
they should find it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
first and great cause of all these errors is negligence of inquiry; and
the second is aversion to believe what ought to be believed of God, and
a hatred for the things that would enlighten and convert the soul. If
men will not heed either holy words or miracles, it is not strange that
they remain in error. They must study religion, with a sincere desire
to find out the truth. If they wish to find out the truth they must not
appeal to the enemies of truth. They must consult those who are well
instructed in their religion, and who practise it. They must consult the
priest. He will explain to them the true doctrine of the Catholic
Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
the Memoir of Bishop Hay it is stated that he became a convert to our
Church in 1749. As a Protestant he never showed any Catholic
tendencies, as is sufficiently evident from the fact that in the fervor
of his youth he had bound himself by a double vow to read a portion of
the Bible daily, and to do his utmost to extirpate Popery from his
native country. One day he went from Edinburgh, where he had made his
studies for the medical profession, to London, where he heard the
doctrines of the Catholic Church explained by an English gentleman, in
a manner which excited his surprise. From London he went to Ayrshire,
where he found a well-known little work, "<i>A Papist represented and misrepresented, or a twofold character of Popery</i>."
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Doubts were excited in his mind; but Mr. Hay was not of a character to
set aside doubts upon an important subject without due investigation.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
the surest means to obtain correct information regarding the Catholic
faith, he resolved to apply to a Catholic priest, and accordingly
obtained an introduction to Sir Alexander Seaton, the Jesuit
missionary, then resident in Edinburgh. From him he received the
information desired, and after a lengthened course of instruction he
was received into the Church, 21<sup>st</sup>Dec., 1749.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Moreover,
sincerity of heart must show itself in a firm resolution to embrace the
truth whenever it shall be found, and whatever it may cost the seeker.
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">He must prefer it before every worldly consideration, and be ready to
forfeit everything in this life: the affections of his friends, a
comfortable home, temporal goods, and prospect in business, rather than
deprive his soul of so great a treasure.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The New York <i>Freeman's Journal</i>,
Sept. 2d, 1854, contains the following notice on the late General
Thomas F. Carpenter. The words of this notice are written by
ex-Governor Laurence. The general, when about to become a Catholic,
made known his intention to a friend. The friend, of course, was
surprised. He instanced the fearful results consequent upon a
proceeding so unpopular, the loss of professional practice, the
alienation of friends, the scoffs of the crowd, etc. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">"All such
blessings," replied General Carpenter, "I can dispense with, all such
insults I can despise, but I cannot afford to lose my immortal soul."
</span>The general spoke thus, because he knew and firmly believed what Jesus
Christ has solemnly declared, to wit: "He who loveth father or mother
more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me "(Matt. x. 37.); and as to the loss of
temporal gain, he has answered: "What will it profit a man if he gain
the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?" (Mark, viii. 36.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
would it not be enough for such a one to be a Catholic in heart only,
without professing his religion publicly? No; for Jesus Christ has
solemnly declared that "he who shall be ashamed of me and of my words,
of him the Son of man shall be ashamed when he shall come in his
majesty, and that of his Father, and of the holy angels." (Luke, ix.
26.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But might not such a one safely put off being received into the Church till the hour of death?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
would be to abuse the mercy of God, and, in punishment for this sin, to
lose the light and grace of faith, and die a reprobate. In order to
obtain heaven, we must be ready to sacrifice all, even our lives. "Fear
ye not them" says Christ, "that kill the body, and are not able to kill
the soul, but rather fear ye him that can destroy both soul and body in
hell." (Matt. x. 28.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
How
often do we meet with men who tell us that they would gladly become
Catholics, but it is too hard to live up to the laws and maxims of the
Church! They know very well that if they become Catholics, they must
lead honest and sober lives, they must be pure, they must respect the
holy sacrament of marriage, they must check their sinful passions; and
this they are unwilling to do. "Men love darkness rather than light,"
says Jesus Christ, "because their deeds are evil." Remember the
well-known proverb: "There are none so deaf as those that will not
hear."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
They
are kept back from embracing the faith, because they know that the
truths of our religion are at war with their sinful inclinations. It is
not surprising that these inclinations should revolt against
immolation. The prudence of the flesh understands and feels that it
loses all, if the truths of faith are listened to and taken for the
rule of conduct; that it <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">must renounce the unlawful enjoyments of life,
must die to the world and to itself, and bear the mortification of
Jesus Christ in its body.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
At
the mere thought of this crucifixion of the flesh and its
concupiscence, imposed on every one who would belong to the Saviour,
the whole animal man is troubled. Self-love, suggests a thousand
reasons to delay at least the sacrifices that affright them. The
prudence of the flesh, having the ascendancy, obscures the most simple
truths, attracts and flatters the powers of the soul; and when,
afterward, faith endeavors to interpose its authority, it finds the
understanding prejudiced, the will overcome or weakened, the heart all
earthly-minded; and hard, indeed, is it for faith to reduce the soul to
its dominion. Those who listen to the prudence of the flesh will never
become Catholics.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Finally,
those who seek the truth must show their sincerity of heart in
fervently and frequently praying to God that they may find the truth,
and the right way that leads to it. Faith is not a mere natural gift;
it is not an acquired virtue or habit; it is something altogether
supernatural. The right use of the natural faculties can, indeed,
prepare one to receive faith; but <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #005252; background-color: #ccffff;">true faith,—that is, to believe, with
an unwavering conviction, in the existence of all those things which
God has made known,—is a supernatural gift,—a gift which no one can
have of himself; it is the free gift of God: "For by grace you are
saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of
God."</span> (Eph. ii. 8.) God is so great a good, that we cannot merit and
possess this good by anything we may do. Now, it is by the gift of
faith that we have in some measure a glimpse of all that God is, and
that consequently we attach ourselves to this supreme good; and behold!
we are saved. We can say with David, in the truest sense, that in
enlightening us the Lord saves us: "The Lord is my light, and my
salvation." (Ps. xxvi. 1.) Hence it is evident that this gift is a free
gift of God, without the least merit on our part. When this light or
grace shines upon the understanding, it enlightens the understanding,
so as to render it most certain of the truths which are proposed to it.
But this mere knowledge of the truth is not as yet the full gift of
faith. St. Paul says (Rom. i. 2) that the heathens knew God, but they
would not obey him, and consequently their knowledge did not save them.
You may convince a man that the Catholic Church is the true Church, but
he will not, on that account, become a Catholic. Our Saviour himself
was known by many, and yet he was followed only by few. Faith, then, is
something more than knowledge. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Knowledge is the submission of the
understanding to truth; but faith implies also the submission of the
will to the truth</span>. It is for this reason that the light or grace of
faith must also move the will, because a good will always belongs to
faith, since no one can believe unless he is willing to believe. It is
for this reason that faith is also rewarded by God, and infidelity
punished: "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he
that believeth not shall be condemned." (Mark, xvi. 16.) No man has the
natural ability to come into the Church, any more than he has the
natural ability to save himself after he has come in. All before and
all after is the work of God. We can do nothing of ourselves alone—make
not even the first motion without his grace inciting and assisting us.
Of no use would have been his Church—it would have been a mere mockery,
or a splendid failure—if he had not provided for our entrance as well
as for our salvation afterwards.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But he <i>has</i> provided
for our entrance. He gives sufficient grace to all men. The grace of
prayer is given freely, gratuitously, unto every one. All receive the
ability to ask; all, then, can ask; and if they do ask, as sure as God
cannot lie, they shall receive the grace to seek; and if they seek, the
same divine veracity is pledged that they shall find; and if they find,
they may knock; and if they knock, it shall be opened to them. God has
said it: Christ is in the Church; he is out of it. In it and out of it
he is one and the same, and operates ever <i>ad unitatem</i> (towards
unity). He is out of the Church to draw all men into the Church; all
have, then, if they will, the assistance of the Infinite God to come
in, and if they do not come in, it is their own fault. God withholds
nothing necessary. He gives to all, by his grace, everything requisite,
and in superabundance. Indeed, God will never refuse to bestow this
gift of faith upon those who seek the truth with a sincere heart, use
their best endeavors to find it, and sincerely pray for it with
confidence and perseverance. Witness Clovis, the heathen king of the
Franks. When he, together with his whole army, was in the greatest
danger of being defeated by the Alemanni, he prayed as follows:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Jesus
Christ, thou of whom Clotilde (the king's Christian wife) has often
told me that thou art the Son of the living God, and that thou givest
aid to the hard-pressed, and victory to those who trust in thee! I
humbly crave thy powerful assistance. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">If thou grantest me the victory
over my enemies I will believe in thee, and be baptized in thy name;
for I have called upon my gods in vain.</span> They must be impotent, as they
cannot help those who serve them. Now I invoke thee, desiring to
believe in thee; do, then, deliver me from the hands of my adversaries!"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No
sooner had he uttered this prayer than the Alemanni were
panic-stricken, took to flight, and soon after, seeing their king
slain, sued for peace. Thereupon Clovis blended both nations, the
Franks and the Alemanni, together returned home, and became a Christian.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Witness
F. Thayer, an Anglican minister. When as yet in great doubt and
uncertainty about the truth of his religion, he began to pray as
follows:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"God
of all goodness, almighty and eternal Father of mercies, and Saviour of
mankind. I implore thee, by thy sovereign goodness, to enlighten my
mind and to touch my heart, that, by means of true faith, hope, and
charity, I may live and die in the true religion of Jesus Christ. I
confidently believe that, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #262a2b; background-color: #ccccff;">as there is but one God, there can be but one
faith, one religion, one only path to salvation; and that every other
path opposed thereto can lead but to perdition. This path, O my God! I
anxiously seek after, that I may follow it, and be saved.</span> Therefore I
protest, before thy divine majesty, and I swear by all thy divine
attributes, that I will follow the religion which thou shalt reveal to
me as the true one, and will abandon, at whatever cost, that wherein I
shall have discovered errors and falsehood. I confess that I do not
deserve this favor for the greatness of my sins, for which I am truly
penitent, seeing they offend a God who is so good, so holy, and so
worthy of love; but, what I deserve not, I hope to obtain from thine
infinite mercy; and I beseech thee to grant it unto me through the
merits of that precious blood which was shed for us sinners by thine
only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth, etc. Amen."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
God
was not slow to hear so sincere and fervent a prayer, and Thayer became
a Catholic. Let any one who is as yet groping in the darkness of
infidelity and error pray in the same manner, and the God of all light
and truth will bestow upon him the gift of faith in a high degree. It
is human to fall into error, devilish to remain in it, and angelical to
rise from it, by embracing the truth which leads to God, by whom it has
been revealed and is preserved in his Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
All
may have the Church for their mother, if they choose. Christ is in the
Church, but he is also out of the Church. In the Church he is operating
by his grace to save those who enter; out of her he operates also by
his grace, or is ready to operate, in the hearts of all men, to supply
the will and the ability to come in. If we come not at his call, on our
own heads lies the blame. We have no excuse, not the least shadow of an
excuse. The reason why we come not can be only that we do not choose to
come, that we resist his grace, and scorn his invitations, and will not
yield to his inspirations. No nice theological distinctions, no
scholastic subtlety, no latitudinarian ingenuity, can, relieve us of
the blame, or make it not true that we could have come, had we been so
disposed. If, then we stay away, and are lost, it is we who have
destroyed ourselves.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Sectarian
systems are the dark and shifting vapors that obscure the surface of
the heavens; and their ever-varying masses are drifted into numberless
fantastic forms by every passing gale, "by every wind of doctrine," as
St. Paul expresses it. Cloud of heresy after cloud of heresy has fallen
in rain, or disappeared in the boundless fields of ether,—<i>they were and are not</i>,—whilst
other vapors occupy their place, as fleeting and as unsubstantial. But,
like the vast and universal arch of heaven, the Church over-canopies
alike all Christian climes and ages; and, like that arch, she is one,
unbroken, wheresoever she appears. <i>The arch stills stands</i>, for the sacred Word of Christ, her Founder, is pledged for its perpetual stability.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Yes, the Church still stands. She speeds on, on her heaven-sent mission, conquering and to conquer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Only
in the Catholic Church there are certainty and security against errors
in religion. Around this Rock we behold nothing but raging tempests,
nothing but disastrous shipwrecks, indifference to religion, negation
of all true worship, the abomination of atheism and immorality,
derision of sacred things, a fanatic pietism, a delirious
religiousness, rationalism, or the denial of all revelation and of
everything supernatural. Every non-Catholic who earnestly seeks to
learn what he is to believe, every one who yearns to obtain certainty
in religious matters, must sooner or later turn to the Church as the
only source of certainty, the only guardian of the true religion, the
only fountain of true peace and happiness in this life and in the next.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Here
are the great mass of our countrymen aliens from the Church of God. Why
do they not come and ask to be received as children and heirs? Is it
lack of opportunity? It is false. There is no lack of opportunity. God
does not deny them, not one of them, the needed grace. The Church is
here; through her noble and faithful pastors, her voice sounds out from
Maine to Florida, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. How can they hear
without a preacher? But they have heard; verily the voice of the
preacher is gone out into all the earth. They have no need to say, who
shall ascend into heaven to bring Christ down? The Word is nigh them.
It sounds in every ear; it speaks in every heart. We all know they
might come, if they would. From all sections, and from all ranks and
conditions, some have come, and by coming proved that it is possible
for all to come. Witness the late Most Rev. James Roosevelt Bailey, D.
D., Archbishop of Baltimore; Most Rev. James Frederick Wood, D. D.,
Archbishop of Philadelphia; Right Rev. William Tyler, late Bishop of
Hartford, Conn.; Right Rev. John Young, D. D., late Bishop of Erie,
Pa.; Right Rev. Sylvester Horton Rosecrans, D. D., late Bishop of
Columbus, O.; Right Rev. Monsignor George H. Doane, V. G., of Newark,
N. J., son of the Protestant Bishop of that name and a brother of
Bishop Doane (Protestant Episcopal,) of Albany, N. Y.; Very Rev. Thomas
S. Preston, V. G., of the Archdiocese of New York; Rev. J. Clark, S.
J., formerly a professor of mathematics at West Point, late
commissioned a brigadier-general in the United States Army and
president of Gonzaga College, Washington; Rev. Francis M. Craft, S. J.,
of Loyola College, Baltimore, Md.; Rev. James Kent Stone, C. P., Father
Fidelis of the Cross, formerly president of Hobert and Kenyon College,
Ohio; Rev. E. D. Hudson C. S. C. editor of the Ave Maria; Rev. Isaac T.
Hecker, C. S. P., Rev. Xavier Donald Macleod, D. D., author of
"Devotion to the B.V.M. in North America," etc., etc.; the late Rev.
George Foxcroft Haskins, founder of the House of the Angel Guardian;
Rev. Levi Silliman Ives, LL. D., formerly a Protestant Bishop of North
Carolina; Rev. George Goodwin, the second pastor of St. Mary's Church,
Charleston, Mass.; Hon. Thomas Ewing, Senator from Ohio and for
sometime Secretary of the United States Treasury; Dr. Joshua Huntinton,
the well-known author of "Rosemary," "Gropings after Truth," etc.;
James McMaster, Esq., editor of the New York <i>Freeman's Journal</i>;
Rev. Orestes A. Brownson, LL. D., the distinguished reviewer, whom Lord
Brougham is said to have styled "the mastermind of America"; Dr. Albert
Myers, sub-editor of the Boston Pilot; Howard Haine Caldwell, of
Newbery, S. C., and son of Chancellor Caldwell; Gen. Jones of Columbia,
S. C., Rev. Clarence A. Walworth, author of "The Gentle Skeptic," etc.;
Miss Mary Agnes Tincker, author of "Grapes and Thorns," "House of
Yorke," and "Signor Monaldini's Niece"; Mother Seton, founder of the
Sisters of Charity in America; Mrs. Judge Tenny, born Sarah M.
Brownson; Miss Francis C. Fisher; Christian Reid, author of "A Question
of Honor," "Hearts and Hands," etc. etc.; Miss Mary Longfellow, cousin
of the deceased poet Longfellow; the widow of ex-president Tyler, and<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">
so many others who have sacrificed everything rather than die out of
the Catholic Church and be lost forever.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Mrs.
Moore, a very intelligent lady of Edinton, North Carolina, and a
convert to our holy faith, said to her Protestant children, when on her
death-bed: "O my children! there is such hope, such comfort in our holy
religion! When I was so near death and believed I should never see you
again, my soul was filled with anguish. When I thought I was so soon to
meet my God, I feared; but after I had made my confession to his own
commissioned minister, and received absolution; in the name of the Most
Holy Trinity, death was divested of every sting. Each day I thank God
more and more that he has given me grace to break the ties that kept me
from the Church. I have never looked back, and, in fact, I wonder why I
could ever have been anything but a Catholic."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
joining the Catholic Church, these and many other converts have
rendered invalid the plea of ignorance or inability. Those who have not
come can as well come as those who have come; and their guilt in not
coming is aggravated by their knowledge of the fact that some, of their
own number have come; for they are no longer in ignorance. (St. Aug.,
lib. 1. de Bapt. contr. Donat. cap. v; St. John Chrys. in Epist. ad
Rom. xxvi.) The fault is their own. They stay away because they do not
will to come. "Ye will not come to me that you may have life, because
your deeds are evil." They disregard divine grace, they disdain the
Church, they despise her pastors, they scorn her sacraments. For what
Catholic can doubt, if they were to seek, with anxious care, as St.
Augustine says they must, even to excuse them from formal heresy or
infidelity, that they would find, and finding and knocking, that they
would be admitted?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No;
let us love our countrymen too much to be ingenious in inventing
excuses for them, to strain the faith in their behalf till it is nearly
ready to snap. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Let us, from a deep and tender charity, which, when need

the Church only.</div>

S. O. on Confession">edit</a>]</span>§ 10. S. O. on Confession</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
He
continues to quote from our Explanation of Christian Doctrine,
dishonestly suppressing five questions and answers that are in
immediate connection with those he quotes, namely:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"<i>Q</i>.
Are Protestants willing to confess their sins to a bishop or priest,
who alone has from Christ power to forgive sins? 'Whose sins you shall
forgive they are forgiven them.' <i>Ans</i>. No, for they
generally have an utter aversion to confession, and therefore their
sins will not be forgiven them throughout all eternity. <i>Q.</i> What follows from this? <i>Ans</i>. That they die in their sins and are damned."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"To
which I, S. O., say that, as long as Protestants honestly believe, (and
we have no right to question their honesty in the matter,) that God has
not appointed priestly absolution as the outward and visible
sacramental sign and instrument of His forgiveness to the truly
penitent sinner, it is not at all strange that they are unwilling to
confess their sins to a priest or seek his absolution. When they are
instructed to know, and by God's grace led to believe, that the
Catholic religion is the true religion of Christ, they will, be just as
willing to go to confession as we Catholics are, and will have no more
aversion to it than we have."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
You see, S. O. never states clearly and precisely any point in question. He speaks here of those Protestants who<i> honestly</i> believe
that they have not to go to confession to obtain forgiveness. We
suppose he means those who live in inculpable ignorance of the divine
law of confession. But such inculpable ignorance, as we have clearly
proved, is no means to obtain the forgiveness of their sins. "And we
have no right," he says, "to question their honesty." Alas! Tell
Protestants that they can be good Catholics without confessing their
sins, and there will be thousands and thousands of them whose honesty
we need not question.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
have we no right, no duty, to instruct those honest Protestants and
heathens and show them the true road to heaven? <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Why, then, did St.
Francis de Sales and so many other holy priests expose their lives so
often to reclaim honest Protestants from their heresy and bring them
back to the true Church?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
to those Protestants who have been instructed in our religion and are
willing to confess their sins, they no longer belong to the number of
those who are in question.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
He
continues his answer. "But who told this explainer of Christian
doctrine (the Rev. M. Muller) that no sinner will be forgiven
throughout all eternity, or that he will die in his sins and be damned,
if he has not confessed those sins to a priest and received his
absolution? That is not Catholic Christian doctrine, and he had no
right to say it is, or to write in such a manner as to be so
understood."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Here,
you see, S. O. wants to know where we learned the divine law of
confession. Well, we learned it from the infallible teaching of the
Catholic Church, from Holy Scripture, from the Fathers and Doctors of
the Church. Strange, that S. O. does not know what every Catholic
school-boy knows. He must have learned a bad catechism. But, in the
name of common sense, where did S. O. learn that every sinner,
especially every Protestant sinner, will be forgiven throughout all
eternity, or that he will not die in his sins, though he is not willing
to confess his sins to a Catholic priest? He says that "to assert that
no baptized sinner will be forgiven unless he is willing to go to
confession is no Catholic Christian doctrine; that we had no right to
say it is, or to write in such a manner as to be so understood." Now
this assertion of Sir Oracle is quite heretical, because it is an
article of faith, declared by the Council of Trent, that the sacrament
of penance is as necessary for the salvation of those who have fallen
into mortal sin after baptism, as baptism is for those who have not
received spiritual regeneration. Sir Oracle's assertion, therefore, is
directly opposed to the divine law of confession, which must be
complied with in <i>reality, if possible</i>, or at least in <i>true implicit desire</i>, if confession is impossible.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
S.
O. is rather incorrect in stating all the conditions of forgiveness
which God has made for those who after baptism, have committed grievous
sins. "These conditions," he says, "are the three following: A sincere
sorrow for sins, a firm purpose of sinning no more, and, under ordinary
circumstances, an honest, humble confession to God's appointed
ministers."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
is not a full statement of the conditions of forgiveness. We will give
them, as every school-boy knows them who has learned a good catechism:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
I. <i>Contrition</i>, or sorrow, which is good only:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
1.
When it is interior, or sorrow from the heart or will; 2. When it is
sovereign, or sorrow above all other sorrows; 3. When it is universal,
or sorrow at least for all our mortal sins; 4. When it is supernatural,
or sorrow for having offended God, joined with the hope of pardon.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There are three kinds of contrition:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
1.
Perfect contrition, or sorrow for sin on account of the injury offered
to God's goodness; 2. Imperfect contrition, or sorrow for sin on
account of the injury done to our souls, which, by offending God, lose
heaven, and deserve hell; 3. Natural contrition, or sorrow for sin on
account of the injury done to our temporal welfare.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The effects of sorrow are:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
1.
Perfect contrition, as an act of perfect love of God, joined with the
desire of confessing our sins, cancels them before confession; 2.
Imperfect contrition disposes us to receive the grace of God in the
sacrament of Penance; 3. Natural contrition cannot dispose us to
receive the grace of God by absolution, because it is a sorrow, not for
offending God, but only for temporal injury.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
II. <i>Purpose of amendment</i> is a firm resolution, by the grace of God:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
1.
To avoid all mortal sins, and the proximate occasions of sin; 2. To
make use of the necessary means of amendment; 3. To make due
satisfaction for our sins; 4. To repair, whatever injury we way have
done to our neighbor.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
III. <i>Confession</i>, which is good only:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
1.
When it is entire, or a confession of at least all our mortal sins,
with the necessary circumstances; 2. When it is sincere, or a
confession of sins without concealing or excusing them.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
He who is in danger of death and cannot make his confession, <i>must earnestly wish to confess his sins to the priest</i>, and try to be very sorry for having offended so good a God.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
last point S. O. has omitted, and yet the sincere (at least implicit)
desire to confess his sins is as necessary for him who is not able to
confess them, as real confession is for him who is able to make it, in
order to obtain forgiveness.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"But
to say or imply," continues S. O., "that every Catholic who dies
without having been able to confess his sins to a priest is <i>therefore</i> damned
for all eternity, is nonsense." Did S. O. dream that we or any Catholic
ever said such nonsense? Why then does he mention such nonsense?</div>

POINTS OUT THE ROAD TO HEAVEN FOR HEATHENS AND PROTESTANTS OF EVERY DENOMINATION.</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"What he (the Catholic) does, and <i>what surely obtains God's forgiveness</i>,"
says S. O., "is just what in point of fact every sincere, God-fearing
Protestant,—and I go further and say, every God-fearing heathen who
never heard of Church, Bible or Christ—may do, and what, in the charity
of Christ, who died for <i>all</i> sinners, I hope and pray
they do: he lifts up his heart to God his Creator, he acknowledges his
sins and offences against God with true contrition of heart and asks
forgiveness, and the Protestant, like the Catholic, always adds
'trusting in the merits of Jesus Christ, my Saviour,' or, for the love
of my Redeemer, who died on the cross for me.'"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Here
you have an oracle of the greatest wisdom that ever was uttered by S.
O. You see, he declares that a dying sinful heathen, or a dying
Protestant sinner, is in the same condition as a dying Catholic sinner,
and if he, like the Catholic sinner, makes an act of contrition, asks
forgiveness, and trusts in the merits of Christ, he (the dying
Protestant sinner) <i>surely obtains forgiveness</i>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
As
S. O. sees no difference between divine and human faith, so, in like
manner, he does not see any <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">difference between the condition of a dying
Catholic sinner and that of a dying Protestant sinner, though the
difference is greater than the distance between heaven and earth.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
sinful Catholic has divine faith. In the light of this faith he knows
well how far he is wrong in the sight of God. His hope in the merits of
Christ is based on his divine faith, and therefore it is divine
hope—two absolutely necessary requisites to obtain sanctifying grace.
Hence it is that the Church, in her prayer for a dying Catholic, says:
O Lord, though he has sinned, yet he has not denied the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost; he has preserved the faith, and has faithfully
worshipped God." All that God has to grant to the dying sinful
Catholic, if he cannot receive the absolution of the priest, is the
grace of perfect sorrow, which is often granted on account of the
prayers and sacrifice of the Church, from which he is not excluded by
grievous sins. Besides, to obtain this grace of true sorrow, the
Catholic sinner prays, at least in his heart, to God and to the Blessed
Mother of God. He knows her great power of intercession with Jesus
Christ; he knows how merciful she is towards even the most abandoned
sinners, if they invoke her prayers for a happy death. If he is happy
enough to have with him a priest to assist him, though confession may
be impossible for him for certain reasons, yet, having the true desire
to confess, and at least imperfect sorrow (attrition) for his sins, the
priest can give him absolution, by which the defect of his sorrow is
supplied, and the eternal punishment forgiven. The priest gives him
Extreme Unction, which wonderfully helps him to die a happy death.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
But
how different is the case of a dying Protestant! Suppose some
Protestants and some Catholics have met with an accident. They are in a
dying condition. A priest is called. He can give absolution to the
dying Catholics, but he is not allowed to give absolution to
Protestants, not even conditionally, for, as St. Alphonsus says, they
generally have a great aversion to the Sacrament of Penance.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Moreover, the faith of the Protestant is not divine: it is all <i>human</i>.
But where there is no divine faith, there can be no such hope as God
requires before he can bestow upon the soul the grace of sanctifying
grace. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">To save, therefore, such a Protestant, God would have to grant
him the most extraordinary gratuitous gift of divine faith and all the
other dispositions necessary to obtain forgiveness and the grace of
justification. </span>The condition of a dying Protestant is, then, very
different from that of a dying Catholic.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Let
S. O. here remember well that forgiveness of sins can be obtained only
in the Catholic Church. "He who has not the true faith," says St.
Fulgentius, "cannot receive the forgiveness of his sins. We therefore
must believe that nowhere else than in the bosom of the Church, our
Mother, converts can obtain the forgiveness of sins. Out of this Church
there may be Baptism, but it is not availing to salvation. Hence all
those who are out of the Church receive forgiveness only after they
have entered this same Church with true faith and humility. Let them
join her in due time, if they wish to be saved." (Lib. I. de Remissione
Peccat., cap. 5 et 6.) "We must know" says St. Gregory the Great, "that
the forgiveness of sins can be granted only in the Catholic Church, as
long as we live in this world and are truly sorry for them." (Lib.
xviii., Moral., cap. 14.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
To console dying Protestants, Sir Oracle goes on to say:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"And
many a bitter cry for forgiveness goes up to God from many a
Protestant, as the angel of death hovers over him because, knowing so
much of the truth of the Catholic religion as he does, he failed to
have the courage of his convictions and embrace it. It is a grievous
sin to reject the known truth, but grievous as it is, even that and any
other sin will be forgiven to him, <i>no matter what his religion may be</i>,
who makes an act of perfect contrition and has the will to comply with
every other condition which a merciful God imposes as a condition of
forgiveness, though he may not know explicitly what those conditions
are. And to such, this Explanation of Christian Doctrine
notwithstanding, there is no condemnation."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Unfortunately
S. O. has forgotten to tell dying Protestants where to get his
soothing, sin-cancelling plaster for their souls. "To rise from the
state of mortal sin," says St. Thomas, "is to repair the threefold
spiritual losses which it has brought on the soul: first, the loss of
the splendor of divine grace by the enormity of sin. The splendor and
ornament of the soul were the brilliant rays of divine light shining on
it and can never be replenished but by the light and grace of God.
Secondly, to rise from the state of mortal sin, is to repair also the
contamination of human nature by a corrupt, depraved will. The will, by
its depravity being, alienated from God, can never be united to Him
again unless by the power and efficacy of grace. Thirdly, to rise from
the state of mortal sin is to repair the debt of punishment which is
eternal damnation. Pardon and remission cannot be obtained but from Him
who was outrageously offended by mortal sin. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">It is therefore as
impossible for man to rise by his own natural means from the state of
sin, as it is for a dead body to rise of itself from the grave.</span> Hence
St. Augustine says that, when God converts, by his grace, a sinner, he
performs a greater work than he performed by creating heaven and earth.
But does God perform this most extraordinary miracle for every sinner
in his last hour, no matter what his religion may be, if be says S.
O.'s act of contrition? <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">To say this act of contrition is indeed in the
power of man; but to have true, perfect contrition is a miracle of the
power and mercy of God alone; it is one of the greatest gifts of God,
and God cannot give this gift without bestowing before the knowledge of
the necessary truths of salvation and </span><i data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">divine</i><span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;"> faith,
confident hope based upon divine faith, and all the other supernatural
dispositions of the soul for receiving the grace of justification</span>. If a
heathen or a Protestant receives such an extraordinary grace of
conversion, and dies in it, he is saved, not as a heathen or as a
Protestant, but as a Catholic. This we say distinctly in our
Explanation; but our would-be theologian dishonestly asserts that we
say the contrary; for he says: "<i>And to such</i>, this
Explanation of Christian Doctrine notwithstanding, there is no
condemnation." Strange, a little after he is constrained to avow his
dishonesty.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
right of seeing God, the infinite Being in himself, belongs to God
alone; and no creature or finite being, as such, can have any claim to
that infinite bliss, nor, consequently, to any of the means which lead
thereto. As eternal happiness, the possession of God, or anything
leading to it, does not belong to the nature of man, God is under no
greater obligation to raise him to a state in which he is rendered
capable of seeing and enjoying his Creator, than he is to raise a stone
to the nature of an animal.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
By
his own natural strength man, as we have seen, can acquire much
knowledge about God; he can recognize God as the author and preserver
of his being, and love him as such. But he can never know and love him
so as to deserve to see him face to face. For this, there is needed a
life superior to that of man, - a life flowing from God to man, by
which a relationship is established between God and man, - a
relationship by which God adopts man as his child. "To see the divine
Essence," says St. Thomas Aquinas, "is something far above the
faculties of the human soul; nay, it is something even far above the
natural faculties of an angel. The soul, therefore, must be prepared
for the contemplation of the Divinity."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"If
we wish that a thing should produce an effect which is above its
nature, we must carefully prepare it for the production of such an
effect. If, for instance, we wish to set the air on fire, we must
gradually raise its temperature. In like manner, God must prepare the
soul to make his Essence accessible to its intelligence. This he does
by bestowing upon it here below the inestimable gift of true divine
faith, hope, and charity. Faith unites us to God, because he is the
Author of all our happiness; and charity unites us to God, because it
puts us in direct communication with the Author of all gifts and
graces. `The charity of God is infused into our hearts by the Holy
Ghost, who has been given to us.' (Rom. v. 5.) The grace of God is life
eternal. Charity is a reciprocal communication and love between God and
man; they exist in this life by grace, and in the other by glory. God
is charity; and he that abideth in charity, abideth in God, and God in
him! (I. John, iv. 16.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Natural
gifts, however precious, cannot put us into this supernatural state of
grace; for an effect can never surpass its cause. It is produced in us
by the Holy Ghost, who is the Love of the Father and of the Son, and
makes us participate even of the Divine Substance.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Those,
therefore, who leave the world and are endowed with these divine
virtues are prepared to see God in a created light, called <i>the light of glory</i>. But to die without these supernatural virtues is to remain banished forever from the face of the Lord." (De Virtutibus.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">True
charity forbids us to despise those who are in error; on the contrary,
it teaches us to pity and to love them. But there is a great difference
between loving those in error, and loving the error itself</span>; there is a
vast difference between loving the sinner and loving his sins.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
It
is not our business to say whether this or that one who was not
received into the Church before his death is damned. What we condemn is
the Protestant and the heathen system of religion, because they are
utterly false; but we do not condemn any person—God alone is the judge
of all. It is quite certain, however, that, if any of those who are not
received into the Church before their death, enter heaven,—a lot which
we earnestly desire and beg God to grant them,--they can only do so
after undergoing a radical and fundamental change before death launches
them into eternity. This is quite certain, for the reason, among
others, that they are not one; and nothing is more indisputably certain
than this, that there can be no division in heaven: "God is not the God
of dissension," says St. Paul, "but of peace." He has never suffered
the least interruption of union, even in the Church Militant on earth;
most assuredly he will not tolerate it in the Church Triumphant. God
most certainly will remain what he is. Non-Catholics, therefore, in
order to enter heaven, must cease to be what they are, and become
something which now they are not.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
With
regard to Catholics the case is quite different. No change need come
upon them, except that which is implied in passing from the state of
grace to the state of glory.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
They will be <i>one</i> there, as they have been <i>one</i> here. For <i>them</i> the
miracle of supernatural unity is already worked. That mark of God's
hand is already upon them. That sign of God's election is already upon
them. That sign of God's election is already graven upon their
foreheads. Faith, indeed, will be replaced by sight, but this will be
no real change, because what they <i>see</i> in the next world will be what they have <i>believed</i> in
this. The same sacramental King (to borrow an expression of Father
Faber), whom here they have worshipped upon the altar, will there be
their everlasting portion. The same gracious Madonna who has so often
consoled them in the trials of this life, will introduce her own
children to the glories of the next. They will not, in that hour, have
to "buy oil" for their <i>lamps</i>, for they are already kindled at the lamp of the sanctuary. No wedding-robe will have to be provided for <i>them</i>,
for they received it long ago at the baptismal font, and have washed
away its stains in the tribunal of penance. The faces of the saints and
angels will not be strange to <i>them</i>, for have they not
been familiar with them, from infancy as friends, companions, and
benefactors? And being thus, even in this world, of the household of
faith, and the family of God, not only no shadow of change need pass
upon <i>them</i>, but to vary in one iota from what they now
believe and practise, would simply cut them off from the the Communion
of Saints, and be the most overwhelming disaster which could befall
them.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No
doubt, God, in his infinite power and mercy, may enlighten even at the
hour of death one who is not yet a Catholic, so that he may know and
believe the necessary truths of salvation, be truly sorry for his sins,
and die in such disposition of soul as is necessary to be saved. Such a
one, by an extraordinary grace of God, ceases to be what he was; he
dies united to the Church, and is saved, not as a Protestant, but as a
Catholic. But is it wise for a Protestant to expect to be saved by a
most extraordinary miracle of the infinite power and mercy of God?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
fact that it is in the power of the infinite mercy of God to convert a
heathen or a Protestant to the true faith, even in his last hour, must
never serve as an encouragement for some rash heathen or Protestant to
continue to live in infidelity or in heresy, in the hope that God will
not send him to hell, even if he continues to the end of his life to
live in heathenism or Protestantism; for, as<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> it would be a great folly
to throw one's self into a deep well, in the hope that God would save
him from death, because he is too good to let him perish, so, in like
manner, it would be a greater folly for a Protestant to run the risk of
dying in Protestantisim, on the presumption that the infinite mercy of
God would save him from hell by making of him a Catholic even in his
last hour.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Let
us, then, always bear in mind, what the Angelic Doctor St. Thomas
Aquinas says: "There is a certain principle and doctrine which we must
never lose sight of when there is question of salvation. This principle
is that no salvation is possible for any one who is not united to Jesus
Christ crucified by means of divine faith and charity, `<i>which</i>,' as St. Augustine says `<i>cannot be kept out of the unity of the Church</i>.'
Since the death of Jesus Christ, sanctifying grace is given to the
souls of unbaptized persons by means of baptism, and to the souls of
Christians who have grievously sinned, by the sacrament of Penance. If
a person cannot receive Baptism or Penance in reality, and is aware of
the obligation of receiving it, he must have the explicit desire to
receive it; but, if he is not aware of this obligation, he must have at
least the implicit desire to receive it, and this desire must be joined
to divine faith in the Redeemer and to an act of perfect charity or
contrition, which includes the sincere desire of the soul to comply
with all that God requires of it in order to be saved. This act of
perfect charity is a gratuitous gift and an extraordinary grace of God,
which we cannot have of ourselves; it is a great miracle of grace, that
God alone can perform a miracle that changes a person from being a
heathen or a heretic into a Catholic. Any one, therefore, who dies
without this miraculous change of his soul will be lost forever.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Bishop
Hay asks the question, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">"Is there any reason to believe that God
Almighty often bestows the light of faith, or the grace of repentance,
at the hour of death, upon those who have lived all their lives in
heresy, or in sin?"</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"That
God," he answers, "can in an instant convert the most obdurate heart,
either to the true faith, or to repentance, is manifest from the
examples of St. Paul, Zacheus the publican, St. Matthew the apostle,
and many others; and, in particular, of St. Peter, to whom in an
instant he revealed the divinity of Jesus Christ, who said to him on
that account, `Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona, for flesh and blood
hath not revealed this to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.' (Matt.
xvi. 17.) That he can do this at the hour of death as easily as at any
time in life, cannot be doubted, as we see in the good thief upon the
cross; he is the same all powerful God at all times. But it must be
owned that there is<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> very little reason to think that this is frequently
the case.</span> There certainly are not the smallest grounds from revelation
to think so. Nay, the Scripture threatens the contrary. All that can be
said is, that as God is able, he can do it; and as he is merciful, he
may do it; and the possibility of this is sufficient to hinder us from
passing judgment upon the state of any soul who has left this world;
but it would certainly be the height of madness, and a manifest
tempting of God, for a person to go on in an evil way in hopes of
finding such mercy at his last.</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
S. O. gave us this credit very reluctantly, as is evident from what he adds immediately after, namely:</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"All
this," he says, "has the true sound of Catholic doctrine, but it
contradicts, both in spirit and letter, the quotations made in the
beginning of this article. But it is better to contradict oneself than
to persist in error."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
S.
O. seems to take a delight in uttering false oracles. First, he has
falsified our answer, the end of which does not read, "sincerely desire
to die a good death; it reads "sincerely desire to die a good Catholic.
The biggest scoundrel may naturally desire to die a good death; but no
Protestant will, in his last moments, desire to die a good Catholic,
unless he has received, in the hour of death, that most extraordinary
grace of which we speak in our answer.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
One
day a Protestant gentleman came to see us. He was a perfect stranger to
us. He began at once to speak about religion. We put to him about six
questions, which he answered well. After his last answer he said: "I
understand that I must become a Catholic, in order to be saved. But I
like better to go as a Protestant to hell than as a Catholic to heaven."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Is it not, then, very dishonest for S. O. to falsify our answer?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Secondly,
in the first part of our treatise we have clearly proved that the
Church plainly teaches, that there is no salvation for those who die
without being united to her. Now S. O. emphatically asserts that, in
the above words of ours, we contradict what we have clearly shown to be
a revealed truth taught by the Church, and he says that it was better
for us to do so than to persist in error. He therefore evidently
asserts that there is salvation out of the Church, and thus proves
himself to be a heretic.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Thirdly,
in order to make it appear that, by the above answers, we contradicted
what we have said in the first part of our treatise, S. O. most
dishonesty suppressed the continuation of, or conclusion to, the above
answers.—The conclusion reads as follows:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Q.
What, then, awaits all those who are out of the Catholic Church and die
without having received such an extraordinary grace at the hour of
death? Ans. `Eternal damnation, as sure as there is a God.' "—Is it not
most clear from this answer that we have, neither in letter nor in
spirit, contradicted anything we have said, but have, on the contrary,
in letter and in spirit, confirmed all the reasons we have given for
the great truth that no salvation is possible out of the Roman Catholic
Church?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Alas! is it possible that S. O. should have made himself guilty of such a vile dishonesty on the Feast of the Holy Name!</div>

<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Our holy and true religion, "he says, "will never suffer from telling the truth with simplicity, charity, and above all <i>with theological accuracy</i>.
Neither will there be the least danger to our children from telling
them the honest truth about Protestant doctrines, when it is necessary
to mention them at all. Nor is it in keeping with the spirit of
Catholic charity to inspire our youth with hatred and contempt of their
Protestant neighbors."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
short time ago an archbishop of the U. S. said, in presence of several
priests: "Is it not strange that so many of our Catholic young men, who
were educated at certain Catholic colleges, are or become down right
infidels soon after leaving them?" A certain lady told me one day, she
could mention at least twenty-four young men of the best families of
her city, who were downright infidels when they left the Catholic
college where they received their education. This is a very sad fact.
How is it to be accounted for? It could be easily accounted for, if S.
O. were the teacher of the catechism in those colleges. He would teach
the Protestant catechism admirably well, at least much better than the
Catholic catechism. You may be sure, he would not teach that "there is
no salvation out of the Catholic Church." He might get out a small
catechism of his own, in which you would look in vain for a true
explanation of the ninth article of the Creed, for the Sacrament of
Penance, for the doctrine on the necessity of grace to be saved, etc.,
etc. However, he would tell the truth 1. <i>with simplicity</i>, that is, for instance, that Protestants believe about Christ precisely what the Catholic believes; 2. <i>with charity</i>, by suppressing such truths as might wound the feelings of honest Protestant pupils; 3. <i>with theological accuracy</i>,
by making all his pupils believe that Protestants believe all the facts
of Christ's life just as well as Catholics. He would not mention the
difference that exists between divine and human faith, between truth
and error, between true and false Christianity, etc., for the reason
that the explanation of this difference would not be in keeping with
the spirit of Catholic charity, which forbids him to inspire youth with
hatred and contempt of their Protestant neighbors, by which, of course,
he means to say that it is wrong to inspire youth with hatred and
contempt of the principles of Protestantism. What he would insist upon
especially is that every pupil of his should know well by heart his
wonderful act of contrition, by which every one, no matter what his
religion may be, and no matter what his sins may be, will obtain
forgiveness and be saved. Let us now hear a better authority on the
subject of Christian doctrine. Dr. O. A. Brownson, the celebrated
convert and famous American Reviewer, one day said to us:—</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I
feel surprised at the fact that so many of the young men educated at
certain Catholic colleges have become infidels. I cannot account for
this otherwise than by presuming that the religious training there is
not solid enough; that the heathen world is too much read and studied;
that principles somewhat too lax are in vogue; that the truths of our
religion are taught too superficially; that the principles which
underlie the dogmas are not sufficiently explained, inculcated, and
impressed upon the minds of the young men, and that their educators
fail in giving them a correct idea of the spirit and essence of our
religion, which is based on divine revelation, and invested in a body
divinely commissioned to teach all men, authoritatively and infallibly,
in all its sacred and immutable truths—truths which, we are
consequently bound in conscience to receive without hesitation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Now
what I have said of certain colleges applies also, unhappily, to many
of our female academies; they are by no means what they should be,
according to the spirit of the Church; they conform too much to the
spirit of the world; they have too many human considerations; they make
too many allowances for Protestant pupils, at the expense of the
Catholic spirit and training of our young Catholic women; they yield
too much to the spirit of the age; in a word, they attend more to the
intellectual than to the spiritual culture of their pupils.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"But
what is even more surprising than all this is, that some of our
Catholic clergy, and among them some even of those who should be first
and foremost in fighting for sound religious principles, and see that
our youth are care fully brought up in them, are too much inclined to
yield to the godless spirit of the age,—to the so-called liberal views
on Catholic education, which have been clearly and solemnly condemned
by the Holy See. They tell us poor people in the world, that, if we are
careless in bringing up our children as good Catholics, we are worse
than heathens, and have denied our faith! that, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520000; background-color: #ffcccc;">if our children are
lost through our neglect, we also shall be lost!</span> I would like to know
whether God will show himself more merciful to those of our clergy who
take so little interest in the religious instruction of our youth; who
make little or no exertions to establish Catholic schools where we
could have our children properly educated; who, when they condescend to
instruct them, do so in bombastic language, in scholastic terms, which
the poor children cannot understand,<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;"> taking no pains to give their
instructions in plain words and in a manner attractive for children?</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"As
the pastor is, so is the flock. We enjoy full religious liberty in our
country. All we need is good courageous pastors,—standard-bearers in
the cause of God and the people. We would be only too happy to follow
them, and to support and encourage them by every means in our power.
What an immense amount of good could thus be achieved in a short time!
Our religion never loses anything of its efficacy upon the minds and
hearts of men; it can lose only so far as it is not brought to bear
upon them. What is most wanted is not argument, but instruction and
explanation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"I
can hardly account for this want of zeal for true Catholic education in
so many of our clergy, who are otherwise models of every virtue, than
by supposing the fact that their ecclesiastical training must have been
deficient in many respects, or that they must have spent their youth in
our godless public schools, where they were never thoroughly imbued
with the true spirit of the Catholic Church—the spirit of God."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Ah!
This great Catholic philosopher has given, in very plain words, the
reason why so many young Catholic men have become infidels at the very
Catholic colleges at which they received their education. Their
education was not Catholic enough. To make education more Catholic, it
is necessary to have catechisms and catechists that are more Catholic
and more practical, that explain in a lucid manner the constitution and
authority of the Church and the great mysteries of our holy religion,
and clearly show that salvation is impossible out of the Roman Catholic
Church.*</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
*See
what we have said on this subject in our second edition of "Familiar
Explanation of Christian Doctrine," published by Benziger Brothers.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
this country, where reading, speaking, writing has no rule or limit,
Catholics will be in daily temptation. They cannot close their eyes;
and if they could, they cannot close their ears. What they refuse to
read they cannot fail to hear. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">It is the trial permitted for the purity
and confirmation of their faith.</span> The trial is severe for many. In order
that they may stand well so severe a trial, they must be prepared for
it by thorough instruction in the Christian doctrine, especially in the
fundamental truths of our holy religion.</div>

LIBERALISM CONDEMNED BY THE CHURCH [S.O. is in favor of Liberalism; False assertions of Liberal Catholics]</h4>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From the manner in which the article <i>Queer Explanation</i> is written, it is evident that S. O. is in favor of Liberalism, and the Rev. Father Cronin, Editor of the <i>Buffalo Union and Times</i> strongly advocates Liberalism and preaches against <i>the small meanness of intolerance</i> in his article Narrow-Mindedness. (B. U. and T, March 1, 1888.) Now what is Liberalism?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
From
the time of the Apostles the true followers of Christ have been called
Catholics. The meaning of this appellation has always been that they
belonged to the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Church. The
term <i>Catholic</i> has always distinguished them from every heretical sect. They were known by this term in every part of the world.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Within
the few last years, however, certain persons have arisen who are not
satisfied with the name of Catholic. Hence they call themselves <i>Liberal Catholics</i>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Liberal
Catholics falsely assert, "that it is a mistake to protect and foster
religion, because religion," they say, "will flourish much better if
left alone; that the world has entered a new phase, and has begun to
run a new course, and consequently the Church should accommodate
herself to the spirit of the age; that religion has nothing to do with
politics; that it has to do only with the private lives of men; that
religion must keep inside the Church—that it is meant for Sundays
alone; that we must be generous in our religious feelings toward
non-Catholics; that is, we must not tell them that there is no
salvation out of the Catholic Church; we must not explain to them the
reason why salvation is impossible out of the fold of Christ; we must
not show to them the difference between divine and human faith; for, if
we do all this, we are narrow-minded and an intolerant people; we are
bigots, who visit condign reprobation on the liberal Catholic." A
liberal man is never intolerant, says the Rev. Editor of the <i>B. U. and T</i>.
In a word, a liberal Catholic is a compound of true and false
principles. He has two consciences: one for his public, and another for
his private life. He is Catholic with the Pope, if possible, but
liberal in religious views with all those who differ from him in faith.
"He is a believer," says the Rev. Father Cronin, "in broad-minded
views, and has a wide charity for the feelings of others who differ
from him in faith." "Liberal Catholics," says O. A. Brownson, "would
let more people into heaven by the exception than by the rule."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"We
have Catholics, or men," says Brownson, "that call themselves
Catholics, who, without knowing it, defend, in politics pure
secularism, only another name for political atheism, and—not always the
same individuals indeed—who defend in theology what, to our
understanding, is a most destructive latitudinarianism. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">It is seldom we
meet a Catholic, man or woman, priest or layman, who will permit us to
say that out of the Church no one can be saved, without requiring us to
qualify the assertion, or so to explain it as to make it meaningless</span> to
plain people who are ignorant of the subtleties, nice distinctions, and
refinements of theologians. How many of our Catholics, though holding
Protestantism to be an error against faith and antagonistic to the
Church, hold that the mass of Protestants are out of the way of
salvation, and can never see God in the beatific vision, unless before
they die they become Catholics, united to Christ in the Church which is
his Body? If we assert the contrary, are we not met with theological
distinctions, logical refinements, subtle explanations and
qualifications, which place us all in the wrong?" "It is only of late,"
says Bishop Hay, "that this loose way of thinking and speaking about
the necessity of true faith and of being in communion with Christ in
his Church has appeared among the members of the Church. Such language
was never heard among Catholics in all former ages. And this is one of
the greatest grounds of its condemnation. It is a novelty, it is a new
doctrine; it was unheard of from the beginning; nay, it is directly
opposite to the uniform doctrine of all the great lights of the Church
in all former ages. These great and holy men, the most unexceptionable
witnesses of the Christian faith in their days, knew no other language
on this subject but what they saw spoken before them by Christ and his
apostles; they knew their divine Master had declared, `He that
believeth not shall be condemned;' they heard his Apostle proclaiming a
dreadful anathema against any one, though an angel from heaven, who
should dare to alter the Gospel he had preached; (Gal. i. 8.) they
heard him affirming in express terms, that 'without faith it is
impossible to please God;' and they constantly held the same language.
And as they saw not the smallest ground in Scripture for thinking that
those who were out of the Church could be saved by invincible
ignorance, that deceptive evasion is not so much as once to be met with
in all their writings or in the writings of any solid Catholic
theologian, as we have shown. How, then, does it happen that some,
nowadays, who profess themselves members of the Church of Christ, seem
to call this truth in question by continually pleading in favor of
those who are not of their communion, proposing excuses for them, and
using all their endeavors to prove a possibility of salvation for
those who live and die in a false religion?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"This
is one of those devices which the enemy of souls makes use of in these
unhappy times to promote his own cause, and which there are grounds to
fear has, from various reasons, found its way even among those who
belong to the fold of Christ; for, (1.) As they live among those who
are of false religions, and often have the most intimate connections
with them, they naturally and most laudably contract a love and
affection for them. This makes them at first unwilling to think their
friends should be out of the way of salvation. Then they proceed to
wish and hope they may not be so. Hence they come to call in question
their being so; and from this the step is easy to grasp at every
pretext to persuade themselves they are not so. (2.) Latitudinarian
principles are to be found everywhere in these our days; an
uncovenanted mercy, forsooth, is found to be in God for Mahometans,
Jews, and infidels, which had never been heard of among Christians.
This is gilded over with the specious character of a liberal way of
thinking and generous sentiments; and it is become the fashion to think
and speak in this manner. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">Now fashion is a most powerful persuasive,
against which even good people are not always proof; and when one hears
those sentiments every day resounding in his ears, and anything that
seems contrary to them ridiculed and condemned, he naturally yields to
the delusion, and turns away his mind from so much as wishing to
examine the strength of these sentiments, from fear of finding out
their falsehood.</span> When, from fear of being despised, we wish anything to
be true, the translation is very easy to believe it to be true, and
without further examination every sophistical show of reason in its
favor is adopted as conclusive. (3.) Worldly interest also very often
concurs with its overbearing influence to produce the same end. A
member of the Church of Christ sees his separated friend in power and
credit in the world, and capable of being of great service to him, and
knows, should he embrace the true faith, he would lose all his
influence, and become unable to serve him. This makes him cool in
wishing his conversion; but the thought that his friend is not in the
way of salvation pains him; he therefore begins to wish he <i>could</i> be saved as he is in his own religion. Hence he comes to hope but that <i>he may</i>, and gladly adopts any show of proof to make him think that <i>he will</i>.
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">It is true, indeed, all these reasons would have little influence with
a sincere member of the Church of Christ, who understands his religion,
and has a just sense of what it teaches him on this head.</span> But the great
misfortune of many who adopt these loose ways of thinking and speaking
is, (4.) that they are ignorant of the grounds of their religion; they
do not examine the matter thoroughly, and if once they be infected by
the spirit of the day, they are unwilling to examine; they even take it
amiss if any zealous friend should attempt to undeceive them, and
grasping at those miserable sophisms which are alleged in favor of
their loose way of thinking, refuse to open their eyes to the truth, or
even to look at the reasons which support it."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"They
do not sufficiently," says Brownson, "understand the relation of the
Church to the Incarnation, the order of grace, the office of the Church
in the economy of salvation, the end of religion, the disposition of
the world to mistake liberality for charity. They do not see that the
Church grows, so to speak, out of the Incarnation, of which she is, in
some sort, the visible continuation on earth, and from which she is
inseparable."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
regeneration of the world was prefigured in its first creation. After
five days of waiting, of preparation, of preliminary creations, God
made the first man "from the slime of the earth, earthly." In him he
joined, in one human person, two different substances, the one properly
belonging to angels, the other to animals: mind and body. He then
appointed him master and lord of all the creatures that people the air,
the earth, and the waters. After he had finished this creation of the
head of human nature, he completed it by the formation of Eve, drawn
from the side of Adam; and by this addition the human race was created
so as to live and perpetuate itself. In the same manner, after a series
of five thousand years (according to the Septuagint), after these five
long days devoted to the announcement, the figures, the preparations,
and the preliminaries of his arrival, the new Adam appeared, "come down
from heaven and heavenly." In him also two natures, the divine and the
human, are joined together, in the one person of God the Son. He is
appointed King of angels and of men. Afterwards his Incarnation, in a
certain sense, is finished, carried out in its fulness, by the
formation of the Church, his spouse, who is drawn from his side, opened
for us on the cross; and by the incorporation of the faithful into
Jesus Christ in the bosom of the Church, Christianity is complete—it
lives, it grows, it gives life to the earth, and peoples heaven.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"God,"
says St. Paul, "hath subjected all things to him (Christ), and made him
Head over all the Church, which is his Body, and the fulness of him,
who is filled all in all." (Eph. i. 22, 23.) Of all the parts of the
body, the head is the principal organ. Hence the beginning of a thing
is called the head. As the human nature of Jesus Christ is
hypostatically united to the Divinity, He possesses the fulness of
grace and communicates it to all the members of his mystic Body. Hence
the Apostle says, "He that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead, shall
also vivify your mortal bodies on account of the Spirit that dwelleth
in you." (Rom. viii. 1.) The Church is Christ's mystical Body, and his
complement or perfection, the head being incomplete without the body;
but when the head has all the members of the body, so that none is
wanting, then it is entirely complete, says St. Chrysostom.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Although
Christ is most perfect himself, yet he considers himself incomplete,
and, so to speak, a mutilated head to members, without having the
Church as body joined to him.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
St. Paul says: "For as the body is one and hath many members, and all
the members of the body, though they are many, yet are one body: so
also is Christ." (I. Cor. xii. 10.) On these words St. Augustine
comments thus: "St Paul says not: so also is the body or the members of
Christ; but, <i>so also is Christ</i>. He says head and body
is one Christ. And this should not appear incredible to us; for, if
Christ's divine nature, which infinitely differs from and is
incomparably more sublime than his human nature, was so united with it
as to be only one person, how much more credible is it that the
faithful and holy Christians are one Christ with the Man Christ! The
whole Christ is head and body. The head and members are one Christ. The
head was in heaven and said: 'Paul, why dost thou persecute me?' We are
with him in heaven by hope, and he is with us on earth by charity."
(Lib. I. de Peccat. Merit., c. 31.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence
Christ is sometimes called the whole Church. (I. Cor. xii. 10.) Hence
also it is often said, that we are in Christ, that we grow, work, and
suffer in him; hence also the Apostle says that Christ lives in him and
he in Christ. Hence all our hope, all our consolation.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
The
community on earth of those Christians who are united under one common
Head, the Pope, as the successor of St. Peter, and who profess the same
faith and partake of the same sacraments, are called Christ's Body.
"This Body," says Cornelius a Lapide, "derives its spiritual life from
Christ, its Head. This life is called the soul of the Church. This life
(soul of) the Church is either <i>general</i> and <i>imperfect</i>, or it is <i>special</i> and <i>perfect</i>. The <i>general</i> and <i>imperfect</i> life is the <i>true faith</i>, and the <i>special</i> and <i>perfect</i> life of the Body of the Church is divine charity. Those of the faithful who are animated with <i>true divine faith and charity</i>, which is poured out into their hearts by the Holy Ghost, are, thereby, united to Christ, their Head, and form his <i>perfect Body</i>. Those of the faithfull who are animated only the <i>general</i> and <i>imperfect</i> <wbr></wbr>life,
by faith alone, are, it is true, members of the body of the Church, but
they are imperfect members; and were they to die in that state, they
would be lost forever. But as they are members of Christ's Body, though
dead members thereof, they may become perfect members by divine
charity, if they profit by the graces that flow from Christ upon all
the members of his body. Hence, as the member of a body which is not
united to the other members and the whole body, cannot receive any
nourishment and life through its body, so, also, a Christian cannot
live by the perfect life of the Church, if he is not united by divine
charity with all the rest of the faithful and the whole Body of the
Church." (Comment. In Epist. ad Ephes., c. iv., v. 16, and in Epist. ad
Tim., c. ii., v. 20.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"If
any one," says Christ, "remaineth not in me, he shall be cast forth as
a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him
into the fire; and he burneth." (St. John, xv. 6.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
After
being united in baptism to the Body of Christ, his Church, we can
remain united to Christ, her Head, only by true divine faith and
charity. But true charity cannot be kept out of the unity of the
Church, says St. Augustine. As all heretics without exception are
separated from Christ's Body, the Church, they are branches cut off
from the vine, Christ, and therefore the sap of divine faith and
charity cannot flow upon them, as long as they are not united to
Christ's Body, the Church. He who thinks he can do good of himself, is
not united to the vine; and he who is not united to the vine, is not
united to Christ; and he who is not united to Christ is no Christian.
(St. Aug. Tract. 21.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"The
Church, therefore," says O. A. Brownson, "lives in Christ, and he lives
in her; his life is her life, and individuals are joined to him and
live his life by being joined to her and living his life in her. To be
separated from her is to be separated from him, is to be separated from
the Incarnate Word himself, the one Mediator of God and men, and from
our end, as well as the medium of its attainment.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
All
that Divine Providence has produced in the course of ages existed, as
St. Augustine says, at the beginning of creation, in the so-called
seminal, radical, fundamental causes, such as vegetation of every kind,
animals, and material bodies. So that all things in creation attain
their perfection in virtue of this imperishable seed, which exists in
their nature since the beginning of the world.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Now,
as man is destined for supernatural happiness, it is necessary that the
imperishable seed of divine grace should be in him. St. John alludes to
this divine seed when he says, "Whoever is born of God, committeth not
sin, for his (God's) seed (divine grace) abideth in him, and he cannot
sin because he is born of God. (chapt. iii., 9.) A rational being can
obtain an object only by some act which it makes, and that act cannot
have the power of putting him in possession of an object which is of a
supernatural order. Now eternal beatitude is a good of a supernatural
order. God alone has always enjoyed that perfect glory and happiness.
No matter how great the natural perfection of a man may be, he cannot,
by an act of his own natural perfection, put himself in possession of
an object of super natural perfection. It is only by divine grace that
he can merit and obtain it; and this grace is granted only in the
Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"There
is" says Brownson, "no name under heaven among men but the name of
Jesus Christ by which we can be saved. There is salvation in none
other; and what Catholic needs to be told that Christ, as the Saviour,
is in the Church, which is his Body, and that it is in the Church, and
nowhere else, that he does or will save? True, though in the Church he
is also out of her, operating on the hearts of those not yet within;
but he operates ad Ecclesiam, to bring them within, that he may save
them there, not that he may save them without. He loves his Church; she
is his <i>Chosen</i>, his <i>Beloved</i>, his <i>Spouse</i>,
and he gave his life for her. In her, so to speak, centre all his
affections, his graces, and his providences, and all creatures and
events are ordered in reference to her. Without her all history is
inexplicable, a fable, and the universe itself meaningless and without
a purpose. The salvation of souls itself is in order to her, and God
will have no children who are not also hers. As there is but one
Father, so can there be but one Mother, and none are of the Father who
are not of the Mother. Clear and explicit are all the Fathers and
Saints as to this, and they plainly teach that it would dishonor her,
and make God an adulterer, to suppose the salvation of a single soul of
which she is not the spiritual Mother.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"God,
in establishing his Church from the foundation of the world, in giving
his life on the Cross for her, and abiding always with her in her
tabernacles unto the consummation of the world, in adorning her as a
Bride with all the graces of the Holy Ghost, in denominating her his
Beloved, his Spouse, has taught us how he regards her, how deep and
tender, how infinite and inexhaustible his love for her, and with what
love and honor we should regard her. He loves us with an infinite love,
and has died to redeem us; but he loves us and wills our salvation only
in and through his Church. He would bring us to himself, and he never
ceases as a lover to woo our love; but he wills us to love, and
reverence, and adore him only as children of his Beloved. Our reverence
and love must redound to his glory as her Spouse, and gladden her
maternal heart, and swell her maternal joy, or he wills them not, knows
them not.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Oh,
it is frightful to forget the place the Church holds in the love and
Providence of God, and to regard the relation in which we stand to her
as a matter of no moment! She is the one grand object on which are
fixed all heaven, all earth, ay, and all hell. Behold her impersonation
in the Blessed Virgin, the Holy Mother of God, the glorious Queen of
heaven. Humble and obscure she lived, poor and silent, yet all heaven
turned their eyes toward her; all hell trembled before her; all earth
needed her. Dear was she to all the hosts of heaven; for in her they
beheld their Queen, the Mother of grace, the Mother of mercies, the
channel through which all love, and mercies, and graces, and good
things were to flow to men, and return to the glory and honor of their
Father. Humblest of mortal maidens, lowliest on earth, under God she
was highest in heaven. So is the Church, our sweet Mother. O, she is no
creation of the imagination! O, she is no mere accident in human
history, in divine Providence, divine grace, in the conversion of
souls! She is a glorious, a living reality, living the divine, the
eternal life of God. Her maker is her Husband, and he places her, after
him, over all in heaven, on the earth, and under the earth. All that he
can do to adorn and exalt her he has done. All he can give he gives;
for he gives himself, and unites her in indissoluble union with himself.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Did
we always reflect earnestly on what the Church is, did we consider her
rank in the universe, her relation to God, the place she holds, so to
speak, in his affections: the bare thought of the salvation of a single
soul not spiritually begotten of her would make us thrill with horror.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Here
are the great mass out of the Church, unbelieving and heretical,
careless and indifferent, and it is idle to expect to make any general
impression upon them, unless we present the question of the Church as a
question of life and death, unless we can succeed in convincing them
that, if they live and die where they are, they can never see God. This
is the doctrine, and the precise doctrine, needed. Is it true! Yes, or
no? Is it denied? By those out of the Church, certainly, and hence the
great reason why they are content to live and die out of the Church? Is
it denied by those in the Church? What Catholic dare deny it? To what
individual or class of individuals are we authorized by our holy faith
to promise even the bare possibility of salvation, without being joined
to the visible communion of the Church of God? No doubt, the truth is
always to be adhered to, let the consequences be what they may.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Those
poor souls, for whom our Lord shed his precious blood, for whom bleed
afresh the dear wounds in his hands, his feet, his side, bound in the
chains of error and sin, sus pended over the precipice, ready to drop
into the abyss below, admonish all who have hearts of flesh, or any
bowels of compassion, to speak out, to cry aloud in awful and piercing
tones to warn them of their danger, rather than by ingenious
distinctions or qualifications to flatter them, or to have the
appearance of flattering them, with the hope that, after all, their
condition is not perilous."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Alas!
a man must be really indifferent to God and religion, he must be
without heart and without reason to tolerate quietly such religious
errors. It is in the very nature of every honest man when he has the
truth, to guard it with jealous watchfulness, and to repel with
indignation every admixture of falsehood.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Look
at the teacher of mathematics, when he discovers an error in the
calculation of his pupils, does he not condemn it—is he not intolerant?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Look at the musician, the leader of a choir—is he not indignant when some one sings flat or out of time?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Look
at the lawyer who has carefully studied the laws and is eloquently
pleading his case. He quotes a certain law. He has read it even that
very morning. Suppose you tell him that no such law ever existed. Is he
not indignant at your denial? Is he not jealous of what he knows to be
the truth?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Look
at that experienced physician. Try if you can to make him believe that
unnatural sins will not hurt the nervous system. You may as well try to
convince him that poison will not kill.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Every
honest man guards the truth with the most jealous care, and will you
blame the good Catholic for jealously guarding the highest truth—that
truth which God himself has revealed—that truth upon which depends our
whole happiness, here and hereafter?</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"Our
intellect," says St. Thomas, "is formed for truth and cannot help
thinking according to truth. The intellect is not a faculty or power
which is, in itself, free, as the will is. Wheresoever it sees the
truth it cannot help embracing it. It is not free to accept or reject
it, except when ignorance puts the mind in such a state as to render it
unable to see the truth. Whenever the mind sees the truth, it is forced
to accept it. When the mind does not see the truth it is inactive—it
does nothing. If, in this case, it asserts one proposition rather than
another, such assertion is merely an act of the will, and not an act of
the intellect. For instance, if I am asked whether the moon is
inhabited, I can assert that it is, merely because I choose to do so.
But I am not compelled to make this assertion by any evidence, for I do
not know. But if I am asked, to how two and two amount, I cannot choose
my answer; I am forced to say "four." The intellect, then, is bound to
acknowledge the truth when it sees the truth. But the will may deny it.
The intellect of any man cannot help acknowledging the existence of
God, and of the first principles of right and wrong. But a perverse
will may deny these truths."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Of all things that are good for men, truth is, without doubt, the greatest good.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Truth
is the good thing for the intellect. As the eye was made to receive
light, and the ear to receive sounds, and the hand to do all kinds of
work, so the intellect was made to see and embrace the truth, to unite
itself with the truth, and to find its repose in truth alone.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Truth
is the good thing for the heart. The heart is bound to love something.
Now, when the intellect does not show it a true, honest object of love,
the heart is sure to soil itself in a sordid love.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Truth
is the good thing for society. If truth does not guide its steps,
society must fall into misery, and setting itself against the divine
laws of the universe, will speedily be brought to utter ruin.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Truth
is the good thing for men. They cannot attain their ultimate end--they
cannot reach eternal goodness, except by means of the truth. So
necessary is truth for men that the Son of God came down from heaven to
teach them the truth.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Truth,
then, is above all good things; it is a greater good than wealth and
honors; it is above life and death, above men and angels. God is the
only fountain of truth; truth alone leads to him, as it comes from him
who is Truth itself. If this be so, what right can there be for any one
to obscure the truth? What right can there be for a liberal-minded
priest to profess Liberalism, a mixture of true and false principles?
"A thing," says St. Thomas Aquinas, "becomes impure by mixing it with a
worse substance, as, for instance, gold mixed with brass, or silver
with lead; in like manner, truth becomes worse and loses the splendor
of its purity by mixing it with error." Has not Protestantism risen in
this way? What right then has a liberal-minded priest to assert or to
endorse cheerfully so many falsehoods in the article "Queer
Explanation?" what right has the liberal-minded Father Cronin to say "<i>what is needed in this country</i>—<i>if the country is to be ever converted to the Catholic faith'<b>—'</b>is
more of such letters as the one in question (written by a
liberal-minded priest and published by the liberal-minded Father
Cronin) and less of such books that, through their inexact phrasing,
furnish arguments to the enemies of the Church to represent her as
teaching what she does not teach</i>;" in other words, we must have
more liberal-minded priests that preach Liberalism all over the
country, and less orthodox priests, that defend the doctrines of the
Church, and then, of course, all Catholics will soon be liberal
Catholics, and Protestants will easily become liberal Catholics,
because they do no longer see much difference between Liberalism and
Protestantism! Aye, what right has he to proclaim his erroneous
teaching, which cramps the soul, sours the temper, dwarfs the
conscience, and inflicts untold misery on the country and on the
unhappy people who are brought within the reach of his fallacious
assertions ? No, there is no such right. Reason, and conscience, and
the Catholic Church condemn such license, that is <i>such free discussion</i>, as he calls it.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
an Allocution held by Pius IX. on Dec. 9, 1854, His Holiness says: "It
is not without sorrow that we have learned another, not less pernicious
error, which has been spread in several parts of Catholic countries,
and has been imbibed by many Catholics, <i>who are of opinion that those who are not at all members of the true Church of Christ can be saved</i>.
Hence they often discuss the question concerning the future fate and
condition of those who die without having professed the Catholic faith,
and give the most frivolous reasons in support of their wicked opinion
. . . . .</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"It
is indeed of faith that no one can be saved outside the Apostolic Roman
Church; that this Church is the one ark of salvation; that he who has
not entered it, will perish in the deluge."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
In
his Encyclical Letter, dated Aug. 10, 1863, Pope Pius IX. says: "I must
mention and condemn again that most pernicious error in which certain
Catholics are living, who are of opinion that those people who live in
error and have not the true faith, and are separated from Catholic
unity, may obtain life everlasting. Now this opinion is most contrary
to Catholic faith, as is evident from the plain words of Christ: "If he
will not hear the Church, let him be to thee as the heathen and the
publican." Matt. xiii. 17; "He that believeth not, shall be condemned."
Mark, xvi. 16; "He that despiseth you, despiseth me; and he that
despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me." Luke, x. 16; "He that doth
not believe, is already judged." John, iii. 18; "It is of faith that,
as there is but one God, so also there is but <i>one faith</i>, and one baptism. To go beyond this in our inquiries is to be impious." (Allocution, Dec. 9, 1854.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
On
the 18th of June, 1871, Pope Pius IX., in replying to a French
deputation headed by the Bishop of Nevers, spoke as follows: "My
children, my words must express to you what I have in my heart. That
which afflicts your country, and prevents it from meriting the
blessings of God, is <i>the mixture of principles</i> I will
speak out, and not hold my peace. That which I fear is not the Commune
of Paris, those miserable men, those real demons of hell, roaming upon
the face of the earth—no, not the Commune of Paris; that which I fear
is liberal Catholicism . . . . I have said so more than <i>forty</i> times,
and I repeat it to you now, through the love that I bear you. The real
scourge of France is Liberal Catholicism, which endeavors to unite two
principles, as repugnant to each other as fire and water. My children,
I conjure you to abstain from those doctrines which are destroying you
. . . . if this error be not stopped, it will lead to the ruin of
religion and of France." In a brief, dated July the 9th, 1871, to Mgr.
Segur, the Holy Father says: "It is not only the infidel sects who are
conspiring against the Church and Society that the Holy See has often
reproved, but also <i>those men who</i>, granting that they act in good faith and with upright intentions, yet <i>err in caressing liberal doctrines</i>."
On July 28, 1873, his Holiness thus expressed himself: "The members of
the Catholic Society of Quimper certainly run no risk of being turned
away from their obedience to the Apostolic See by the writings and
efforts of the declared enemies of the Church; but they may glide down
the incline of <i>those so-called liberal opinions which have been adopted by many Catholics</i>,
otherwise honest and pious, who, by the influence of their religious
character, may easily exercise a powerful ascendancy over men, and lead
them to very pernicious opinions. Tell, therefore, the members of the
Catholic, Society that, on the <i>numerous</i> occasions on
which we have censured those who hold liberal opinions, we did not mean
those who hate the Church, whom it would have been useless to reprove,
but those whom we have just described. Those men preserve and foster
the hidden poison of liberal principles, which they sucked as the milk
of their education, pretending that those principles are not infected
with malice, and cannot interfere with religion; so they instil this
poison into men's minds, and propagate the germs of those perturbations
by which the world has for a long time been vexed."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Our
faith, to be pleasing to God, must be sound; and according to the
declaration of the Vatican Council, our faith is sound when we avoid
not only open heresy, but also diligently shun, and in our hearts
dissent from, those errors which approach it more or less closely, and
religiously observe those constitutions and decrees whereby such evil
opinions, either directly or indirectly, have been proscribed and
prohibited by the Holy See. (Vatican Council, Canon iv.), as, for
instance, "Opinions leaning to <i>naturalism</i>, or <i>rationalism</i>,
whose sum and purpose is to uproot Christian institutions, and
establish in society the rule of man, placing God out of consideration.
An entire profession of Catholicity is by no means consistent with
these opinions. Likewise, it is not lawful to follow one rule in
private life, another in public life, namely, so that the authority of
the Church may be observed in private life, and disregarded in public
life. That would be to unite virtue and vice, and make man conflict
with himself, when, on the contrary, he ought to be consistent with
himself, and in nothing, no sort of life, depart from Christianity."
(Leo XIII, Encycl. 1, Nov. 1885.) In other words, it is not lawful to
be a liberal Catholic, and it is far worse to be a liberal minded
priest. It is the duty of all philosophers (far more so of all priests)
who desire to remain, sons of the Church, and of all philosophy, to
assert nothing contrary to the teachings of the Church, and to retract
all such things when the Church shall so admonish. The opinion which
teaches the contrary, we pronounce and declare altogether erroneous and
in the highest degree injurious to the faith of the Church, and her
authority." (Litterae Pii IX. "Gravissimas inter," ad Archiep. Monac.
et Freising. Dec. 1862.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
priest, therefore, who defends Liberalism, is in opposition to the
teachings of the Church, and cannot remain a son of the Church.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
A
Liberal Catholic, then, is no true Catholic. The word Catholic is no
vain and empty word. To be a true Catholic means to hold most firmly
all those truths which Christ and his Apostles have taught, which the
Catholic Church has always proclaimed, which the Saints have professed,
which the Popes and Councils have defined, and which the Fathers and
Doctors of the Church have defended. He who denies but one of those
truths, or hesitates to receive one of them, is not a Catholic. He
claims to exercise the right of private judgement in regard to the
doctrine of Christ, and therefore he is a heretic. The true Catholic
knows and believes that there can be no compromise between God and the
devil, between truth and error, between orthodox faith and heresy,
between divine and human faith, between true and false Christianity,
between Catholics and Protestants. St. Paul, the Apostle, spoke freely
and told the truth plainly from out of his prison walls; it was because
he was no compromiser. St. Peter spoke freely, plainly, and forcibly
before the ancients, saying that it is better to obey God than men; it
was because he was no compromiser. The Apostle St. Andrew proclaimed
the plain truth from the wood of the cross; it was because he was no
compromiser. St. Stephen, the first martyr, was no compromiser. When
accused of being a follower of Jesus of Nazareth, he, in his turn,
accused his enemies of being the murderers of Christ. All the holy
martyrs of the Church were no compromisers. Being charged by the
heathens with the folly of worshipping and following a crucified God,
they, in their turn, charged the heathens with the impiety of
worshipping creatures and following the devil. Why was our Holy Father,
Pope Pius IX., and why is still our Holy father, Leo XIII., a prisoner?
It is because neither the one nor the other could be a compromiser.
Why were in Germany so many bishops and priests exiled or in prison? It
is because they were no compromisers. Why was the Catholic Church
persecuted in Germany and other parts of the world? It is because God,
by means of persecution, purifies his Church, from liberal or
compromising Catholics. And as there are so many liberal Catholics in
this country, persecution must come to separate them from the Church.
<span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">Those compromising Catholics, said a well-known convert in Detroit,
Mich., have kept me out of the Church for twenty years, until at last I
met a good, conscientious, and learned priest, who taught me plainly
that, if I wished to save my soul, I must become a member of Christ's
Body—the Catholic Church</span>—in order to become united to her head—Jesus
Christ—from whom sanctifying grace will then flow upon your soul and
prepare it for life everlasting.</div>

"But
to betray the truth with any such view must be a grievous crime, and
highly prejudicial to both parties. Experience, in fact, shows that the
loose way of thinking and speaking, which some members of the true
Church have of <i>late</i> adopted, is productive of the worst consequences, both to themselves and to those whom they desire to favor.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"(1.)
Those who are separated from the Church of Christ well know that she
constantly professes, as an article of her creed, that, without the
true faith, and out of her communion, there is no salvation. When,
therefore, they see the members of that Church talking doubtfully on
this point, seeming to question the truth of the doctrine, and even
alleging pretexts and excuses to explain it away, what can they think?
What effect must this have upon their minds? Must it not tend to
extinguish any desire of enquiring after the truth which God may have
given them, and to shut their hearts against any such good thought?
Self-love never fails eagerly to lay hold of everything that favors its
wishes; and if once they find this truth called in question, even by
those who profess to believe it, they will consider it as a mere school
dispute, and think no more about the matter.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"(2.)
This way of thinking and speaking naturally tends to extinguish all
zeal for the salvation of souls in the hearts of those who adopt it;
for whilst they persuade themselves that there is a possibility of
salvation for those who die in a false faith, and out of the Church of
Christ, self love will easily incline them not to give themselves any
trouble about their conversion; nay, it has sometimes even gone so far
as to make some think it more advisable not to endeavor to undeceive
them, lest it should change their present excusable ignorance, as they
call it, into a culpable obstinacy; not reflecting that, by their pious
and zealous endeavors, they may be brought to the knowledge of the
truth and save their souls, whereas, through their uncharitable
neglect, they may be deprived of so great a happiness. Woe to the
world, indeed, if the first preachers of Christianity had been of such
unchristian sentiments!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"(3.)
It is no less prejudicial to the members of the Church themselves to
embrace such ways of thinking: for it cannot fail to cool their zeal
and esteem for religion, to make them <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc;">more careless of preserving their
faith, ready for worldly motives to expose it to danger, and in time of
temptation to forsake it entirely.</span> In fact, if a man be thoroughly
persuaded of the truth of his holy religion, and of the necessity of
being a member of the Church of Christ, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">how is it possible he should
ever expose himself to any occasion of losing so great a treasure, or
for any worldly fear or favor to abandon it?</span> Since experience shows,
then, that many, for some trifling worldly advantage, do expose
themselves to such danger, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">by going to places where they cannot
practise their religion, but find every inducement to leave it, or, by
engaging in employments inconsistent with their duty,</span> expose their
children to the same dangerous occasions, this can arise only from a
want of a just idea of the importance of their religion; and, upon a
strict examination, it is always found that some degree or other of
the above latitudinarian sentiments is the radical cause.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
"(4.)
Besides, if a person once begin to hesitate about the importance of his
religion, what esteem or regard can he have for the laws, rules, or
practices of it! Self-love, always attentive to its own satisfaction,
will soon tell him that, if it be not absolutely necessary to be of
that religion, much less necessary must it be to submit to all its
regulations; hence liberties are taken in practice, the commands of the
Church are despised, the exercises of devotion are neglected, and a
shadow of religion introduced under the show of liberal sentiments, to
the destruction of all solid virtue and piety."</div>

If
you travel at night through a wild, desolate moorland, you will notice
in some lonely spot a flame of fire that flickers and shoots, and
recedes farther and farther as you follow it. It is called the
will-o'-the-wisp, or the wandering light. This light is not from
heaven, but from the deep, miry marsh. Woe to the foolish traveller who
blindly follows it! It leads him on into a deep morass, into some black
pool, where he perishes alone in the darkness! His last agonizing
shriek, his trembling groan, is echoed by the hooting nightbird.</div>
<div data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #525200; background-color: #ffffcc; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
There
are wandering lights, too, in the human mind, that lead many astray.
Men may think that these lights come from above, from the Holy Spirit,
but they proceed only from self-conceit, from passion, from pride, and
often from the demon from hell.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
No
doubt, it was not a little poppy of a devil that was sitting on the
shoulder of S. O. to dictate to him his "Queer Explanation;" <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">only a
fallen angel of the higher ranks could conceive and suggest that
malicious article.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Coxe, and Fulton, and other narrow-minded bigots have now something better than <i>Familiar Explanation</i> to
take hold of. They will henceforth take hold of the "Queer
Explanation," written by S. O.; they will not twist it into another
sense than it really has; they will prove from it that their faith in
Christ and in all the facts of his divine life is precisely the same as
that of Catholics; and, as all Protestants believe that all Catholics
who live up to their faith are saved, so, in like manner, all
Protestants who live up to their faith in Christ will now believe that
they will be saved, precisely because their faith in Christ is the same
as that of Catholics.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Coxe
and Fulton will now assure all their Protestant brethren not to be
afraid of the final sentence of the Eternal Judge; for his words, "I
know you not whence you are, depart from me all ye workers of
iniquity," (Luke xiii. 26-27.) will be addressed, not to Protestants,
but only to bad Catholics. What a consoling hope for Protestants at the
Particular and General Judgement!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Coxe,
and Fulton, and their Protestant brethren do not know Christ and his
doctrine as taught by the Catholic Church; and therefore as "No man
will be condemned on account of his ignorance, neither Protestant nor
heathen," all of them will be saved who die in their ignorance. This is
quite certain according to the logic of S. O. And not to entertain even
the least doubt of his salvation, "Every sincere, God-fearing
Protestant and even every God-fearing heathen, has but to lift up, in
the hour of death, his heart to God his Creator, and to acknowledge his
sins and offenses against God with true contrition, and to ask
forgiveness and to add always, trusting in the merits of Jesus Christ
my Saviour,' or, 'for the love of my Redeemer, who died on the cross
for me,' and this <i>surely</i> obtains God's forgiveness."</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What
a wonderful power is not attached to these words by S. O.! and why
should not Coxe and Fulton let their people know it? You see, according
to the infallible oracle of S. O., those words are <i>sacramental words</i>, producing their effects <i>ex opere operato</i>,
as soon as they are pro nounced; that is, they produce at once divine
faith, true Christian hope, perfect sorrow, which proceeds from perfect
charity; they force God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy
Ghost, to enter the soul and unite them selves with it in the most
intimate manner, and remain thus united with it for all eternity in
heaven! And if at the same time many a bitter cry for forgiveness goes
up to God, such a wonderful effect will also be brought about by the
above words, even in the soul of the Protestant, "who, knowing so much
of the truth of the Catholic religion as he does, failed to have the
courage of his convictions and to embrace it! It is a grievous sin to
reject the known truth, but grievous as it is, even that and any other
sin will be forgiven to him, no matter what his religion may be, who
makes an act of perfect contrition and has the will to comply with
every other condition which a merciful God imposes as a condition of
forgiveness, though he may not know explicitly what those conditions
are. And <i>to such</i>, this <i>Explanation of Christian Doctrine</i> notwithstanding, <i>ther<wbr></wbr>e is no condemnation</i>!"</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
What
an easy and wide road to heaven! S. O. tells every man, no matter what
his religion may be, to raise himself into heaven like the man who
tried to lift himself up into the air by taking hold of his own boot
straps!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Alas! Which of the two, Coxe or S. O., is most oblique minded, and suffers most from mental strabismus? Which of the two -</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Fulton
or the most prominent priest of the U. S., is the most infatuated,
lunatic-like man. Which of the three, S. O., or Coxe, or Fulton—suffers
most from softening of the brain? Which of the three permitted himself
to be drawn most into the cyclone of so many heretical errors? Which of
the three has been lifted most off his feet, and "<i>is the cap of all fools alive</i>." (Shak.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Alas!
the article "Queer Explanation," written by S. O. in favor of
Protestants, will do more harm, not only to liberal Catholics, but even
to sincere Protestants who honestly seek the truth, than all the
rantings of such men as Coxe and Fulton, because it is calculated to
confirm them in their errors and make them believe that they can be
saved out of the Catholic Church; and yet the Rev. Father Cronin
solemnly declares that it was <i>sorely needed</i>! and the Rev. A. Young is of the same opinion!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
We
read in Holy Scripture that the Bishop of Pergamus, though quite
orthodox himself, <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #707000; background-color: #ffff99;">did not use energetically enough the sword of the
Word of God, with which he was armed to oppose certain false,
pernicious principles of his time and countr</span>y, and warn the Christians
against following them. Hence it happened that those erroneous
principles spread more rapidly and infected even many of the
Christians. <span data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor="" style="--darkreader-inline-bgcolor: #520052; background-color: #ffccff;">For this neglect, and the evil consequences thereof, the
Bishop is severely reprimanded by our Lord, who threatens him and his
flock with everlasting punishment, if they do not repent.</span> (Apoc. ii.
10, 16.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Dark
clouds of error and weakness in faith have settled thickly around us
since the time of the so-called Reformation. It is the special duty of
priests to scatter these clouds by speaking freely and plainly on the
great truths of our religion, especially on the great fundamental
truth, that our religion is revealed by God, and that his revelation is
invested in an infallible divine teaching authority, and that no one
will be saved without being willing to accept this teaching authority -
the Catholic Church - for his guide on the road to heaven. On these
great truths, priests must speak with a lively faith, in language
glowing with love for those truths, in words that work. miracles, that
is, in words that create in the mind of the hearers so profound a
conviction of the truths of our religion, and which, at the same time,
enkindle in their hearts so great a love for them, as are apt to make
them believe and live up to these truths with a holy joy and spiritual
delight.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
This
is, indeed, What Jesus Christ expects every priest to do, especially in
our time, when faith in the great truths of our holy religion grows
weaker every day, not only among the higher classes of society, but
even among the lower classes, especially among young men and young
women. But, alas! the divine Master is sadly disappointed in all those
priests who speak so coldly of him and his doctrine as to make believe
that their own faith is rather weak.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Such
coldness is generally found in those who, considering themselves
learned and wise rely too much on their own opinion and judgment in
religious matters. They guide themselves only by their lights, and for
want of humility care not to rise higher than human reason. Thus they
are groveling all their life-time in the littleness of their own ideas
and sentiments - a littleness increditable in all that regards the
great truths of our religion.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Such
men are in the habit of always thinking first how a tenet, or a
practice, or a fact is most presentable to the Public. This habit soon
and almost imperceptibly leads them to profaneness, and easily produces
the spirit of liberalisim and rationalisim in matters of faith.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Their
too delicate and fastidious taste has too much regard for the feelings
of a certain class of people. We are aware that Christian charity
demands of us to have due regard for the feelings of our neighbor, and
we are thoroughly convinced that no one was ever yet benefited by harsh
means. Charity, however, is not only not incompatible with truth, but
it ever demands that the whole truth should be told well, especially
when its concealment is a cause of error, or of perseverance in error
and sin, in matters, too, of the greatest importance.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
Hence,
to judge from the works of our greatest Catholic theologians, it
appears that the deeper theologian a man is, the less does he give way
to the studious desire of making difficulties easy at any cost short of
denying what is positively <i>de fide</i>.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
They
handle the truth religiously and conscientiously just in the way that
God is pleased to give it to us, rather than to see what they can make
of it themselves by shaping it for controversy, and so, by dint of
skilful manipulation, squeeze it through a difficulty. No doubt, all
such priests are out of harmony with the spirit of the Church and
Saints. They do much harm, not only to themselves, but also to those
who come into contact with them. By their example and principles they
lead into error those persons who easily suffer themselves to be guided
by them, forgetting the advice of St. John the Apostle: " Believe not
every spirit, but try the spirits, if they be of God." (I. John, iv. 1.)</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
I
have now only to add that I submit this, and whatever else I have
written, to the better judgment of our Bishops, but especially to the
Holy See, anxiously desirous to think nothing, to say nothing, to teach
nothing but what is approved of by those to whom the sacred deposit of
Faith has been committed—those who watch over us and are to render an
account to God for our souls—those who are the Pastors of that glorious
Church, out of which there never was, since her establishment, nor is,
nor ever will, be any, salvation!</div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.4em;">
All
hail to thee, dear and ever-blessed Mother, thou chosen one, thou
well-beloved, thou Bride adorned, thou chaste, Immaculate Spouse, thou
Universal Queen! all hail to thee! We honor thee, for God honors thee;
we love thee, for God loves thee; we obey thee, for thou ever
commandest the will of thy Lord. The passers-by may jeer thee; the
servants of the prince of this world may call thee black; the daughters
of the uncircumcised may beat thee; earth and hell may rise up in wrath
against thee, and seek to despoil thee of thy rich ornaments and to
sully thy fair name; but all the more dear art thou to our hearts; all
the more deep and sincere the homage we pay thee; and all the more
earnestly do we pray thee to receive our humble offerings, and to own
us for thy children and watch over us, that we may never forfeit the
right to call thee our Mother.</div>

<br />...
<br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Before their baptism the converts of Amanguchi were greatly troubled and pained by a hateful and annoying scruple—that God did not appear to them merciful and good, because He had never made Himself known to the Japanese before our arrival, especially if it were true that those who had not worshipped God as we preached were doomed to suffer everlasting punishment in hell. It seemed to them that He had forgotten and as it were neglected the salvation of all their ancestors, in permitting them to be deprived of the knowledge of saving truths, and thus to rush headlong on eternal death. It was this painful thought which, more than anything else, kept them back from the religion of the true God.</span>
<br />
<br />But by the divine mercy all their error and scruple was taken away. We began by proving to them that the divine law is the most ancient of all. Before receiving their institutions from the Chinese, the Japanese knew by the teaching of nature that it was wicked to kill, to steal, to swear falsely, and to commit the other sins enumerated in the ten commandments, a proof of this being the remorse of conscience to which any one guilty of one of these crimes was certain to be a prey. We showed them that reason itself teaches us to avoid evil and to do good, and that this is so deeply implanted in the hearts of men, that all have the knowledge of the divine law from nature, and from God the Author of nature, before they receive any external instruction on the subject .
<br />
<br />If any doubts were entertained on the matter, an experiment might be made in the person of a man without any instruction, living in absolute solitude, and in entire ignorance of the laws of his country. Such a man, ignorant of and a stranger to all human teaching, if he were asked whether it were or were not criminal to kill, to steal, or to commit the other actions forbidden by the law of God, and whether it were right to abstain from such actions, then, I say, this man, so fundamentally without all human education, would most certainly reply in such a manner as to show that he was by no means without knowledge of the divine law. Whence then must he be supposed to have received this knowledge, but from God Himself, the Author of nature ? And if this knowledge is seen among barbarians, what must be the case with civilized and polished nations? This being so, it necessarily follow that before any laws were made by men the divine law existed innate in the hearts of all men. The converts were so satisfied with this reasoning, as to see no further difficulty; so that this net having been broken, they received from us with a glad heart the sweet yoke of our Lord.
<br />...
<br />One of the things that most of all pains and torments these Japanese is, that we teach them that the prison of hell is irrevocably shut, so that there is no egress therefrom. For <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">they grieve over the fate of their departed children, of their parents and relatives, and they often show their grief by their tears.</span> So they ask us if there is any hope, <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 0);">any way to free them</span> by prayer from that eternal misery, and <span style="font-weight: bold;">I am obliged to answer that there is absolutely none.</span> Their grief at this affects and torments them wonderfully ; they almost pine away with sorrow.

We gave them a satisfactory answer, but they did not cease to grieve over the misfortune of their relatives; and I can hardly restrain my tears sometimes at seeing men so dear to my heart suffer such intense pain about a thing which is already done with and can never be undone.

So that when he had occasion to speak of the heresies that were then so widely spread in France, Germany, and England, especially against the obedience due to the Holy See and the Roman Church, he would lift up his eyes to heaven and cry out with tears: "Is it possible that men should be so blind and not see the truth of our faith?...."<br /><br />His aversion to heretics and infidels was so great that he seemed to know them by their smell. Thus, when he was once traveling from Milan with a large company on horseback, he conversed freely with all but one, who he said smelt like a heretic; and so indeed the man turned out to be. He remembered the counsel of St. John, not even to salute or eat with infidels, and so would have nothing to do with them or with Jews, especially with those who showed no respect at all for our religion.<br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 25px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;" ><div><a href="http://www.strobertbellarmine.net/books/Ciccatelli-Faber%20--%20Camillus.pdf">The Life of St. Camillus of Lellis</a> by Father Sanzio Ciccatelli, trans. by Father Frederick Faber. p. 207<br /></div><div><br /></div></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918590924642765371.post-2170254820874677792009-09-07T05:53:00.000-07:002010-01-28T15:37:23.022-08:00so many souls go to eternal perdition through want of priests"...Where there are a great many Indians, who are still walking on the road to eternal perdition.

Immediately after, a boat was seen to approach the shore with a feeble old man seated in the prow, who was recognized as the chief of one of the neighboring tribes. Two of his companions took him up in their arms and brought him before the missionary, to whose words, as repeated by the interpreter, he listened attentively. When the discourse was ended the old man asked to be baptised ; <b zid="28" id="zw-126998ba364JEJvV_efd45">and immediately after breathed his last breath</b>, and was buried in the very spot where he had just been brought to shore.</p><p zid="29" id="zw-126998ba364h1vJsefd45" style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">At a later date, in one of his last missions, when, himself an old man, he travelled along the banks of Loch Ness...he said to the disciples who accompanied him, " Let us make haste and meet the angels who have come down from heaven, and who wait for us beside a Pict who has <b zid="30" id="zw-126998ba364y9h-Jeefd45">done well according to the natural law during his whole life to extreme old age</b> : we must baptise him before he dies." Then hastening his steps and outstripping his disciples, as much as was possible at his great age, he reached a retired valley, now called Glen Urquhart, where he found the old man who awaited him. Here there was no longer any need of an interpreter, which makes it probable that Columba in his old age had learned the Pictish dialect. The old Pict heard him preach, was baptised, and with joyful serenity gave up to God the soul which was awaited by those angels whom Columba saw. <a zid="31" id="zw-126998ba364sOPn0efd45" href="http://books.google.com/books?id=r9ueBVLbHYoC&pg=PA63&dq=pictish+chief+who+has+kept+faithfully+all+his+life+the+natural+life&ei=0Q86SMWPHY2ujAHw_OmNBg" class="external text" title="http://books.google.com/books?id=r9ueBVLbHYoC&pg=PA63&dq=pictish+chief+who+has+kept+faithfully+all+his+life+the+natural+life&ei=0Q86SMWPHY2ujAHw_OmNBg" rel="nofollow" style="padding: 0px 13px 0px 0px; text-decoration: none; color: rgb(51, 102, 187); background-image: url(http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/external.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: 100% 50%;">Montalembert, Charles.

Mueller:</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"Unquestionably, all must enter into the Church," some will say; "but not necessarily into the visible Church. We must distinguish between the Body or exterior communion of the Church, and the soul, or interior communion. The dogma of faith simply says: out of the Church there is no salvation, and you have no right to add the word <i>visible</i> or <i>exterior</i>."</p> <p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"We add the word exterior or visible," says Dr. O. A. Brownson, "to distinguish the Church out of which there is no salvation from the invisible Church contended for by Protestants, and which no Catholic does or can admit. Without it, the dogma of faith contains no meaning. Unquestionably, as our Lord in his humanity had two parts, his body and his soul, so we may regard the Church, his Spouse, as having two parts, the one exterior and visible, the other interior and invisible, or visible only by the exterior, as the soul of man is visible by his face; <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#660000;">but to contend that the two parts are separable, or that the interior exists disconnected from the exterior and is sufficient independently of it, is to assert, in so many words, the prevailing doctrine of Protestants</span>, and so far as relates to the indispensable conditions of salvation, to yield them, at least in their understanding, the whole question. In the present state of controversy with Protestants, we cannot save the integrity of the faith, unless we add the epithet, visible or external. But it is not true that by so doing we add to the dogma of faith. The sense of the epithet is necessarily contained in the simple word <i>Church</i> itself, and the only necessity there is of adding it at all is in the fact that heretics have mutilated the meaning of the word <i>Church</i>, so that to them it no longer has its full and proper meaning. Whenever the word <i>Church</i> is used generally, without any specific qualification, expressed or necessarily implied, it means, by its own force, the visible as well as the invisible Church, the Body no less than the Soul; for the Body, the visible or external communion, is not a mere accident, but is essential to the Church.. The Church, by her very definition, is the congregation of men called by God through the evangelical doctrine, and professing the true Christian faith under their infallible Pastor and Head - the Pope. This definition takes in nothing not essential to the very idea of the Church. The Church, then, is always essentially visible as well as invisible, exterior as well as interior; and to exclude from our conception of it the conception of visibility would be as objectionable as to exclude the conception of body from the conception of man. Man is essentially body and soul; and whosoever speaks of him - as <i>living</i> man - must, by all the laws of language, logic and morals, be understood to speak of him in that sense in which he includes both. So, in speaking of the Church, if the analogy is admissible at all. <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">Consequently, when faith teaches us that out of the Church there is no salvation, and adds herself no qualification</span>, we are bound to understand the Church in her integrity, as Body no less than as Soul, visible no less than invisible, external no less than internal. Indeed, if either were to be included rather than the other, it would be the Body; for the Body, the congregation or society, is what the word primarily and properly designates; and it designates the soul only for the reason that the living Body necessarily connotes the soul by which it is a living Body, not a corpse. We have then, the right, nay, are bound by the force of the word itself, to understand by the Church, out of which there is no salvation, the visible or external as well as the invisible or internal communion.</p> <p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"What Bellarmine, Billuart, Perrone, and others say of persons pertaining to the soul and yet not to the Body of the Church makes nothing against this conclusion. They, indeed, teach that there is a class of persons that may be saved, who cannot be said to be actually and properly in the Church. Bellarmine and Billuart instance <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">catechumens and excommunicated persons, in case they have faith, hope, and charity</span>; Perrone, so far as we have seen, instances catechumens only; and it is evident from the whole scope of their reasoning that all they say on this point must be restricted to catechumens, and such as are substantially in the same category with them; for they instance no others, and we are bound to construe every exception to the rule strictly, so as to make it as little of an exception as possible. If, then, our conclusion holds true, notwithstanding the apparent exception in the case of catechumens and those substantially in the same category, nothing these authors say can prevent it from holding true universally.</p> <p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"Catechumens are persons who have not yet received the visible sacrament of baptism <i>in re</i> (in reality), and therefore are not <i>actually and properly</i> in the Church, since it is only by baptism that we are made members of Christ and incorporated into his Body. 'With regard to these there is no difficulty,' says Bellarmine, 'because they are of the <i>Faithful</i>, and if they die in that state may be saved; and yet no one can be saved out of the Church, as no one was saved out of the ark, according to the decision of the fourth Council of Lateran, C. 1: "Una est fidelium Universalis Ecclesia, extra quam nullus omnino salvatur." Still, it is no less certain that <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">catechumens are in the Church, not actually and properly, but only potentially, as a man conceived, but not yet formed and born</span>, is called man only potentially. For we read (Acts, ii. 41.) "they therefore that received his word were baptized; and there were added to them that day about three thousand souls." Thus the Council of Florence, in its instructions for the Armenians, teaches that men are made members of Christ and of the Body of the Church when they are baptized; and so all the Fathers teach . . . Catechumens are not actually and properly in the Church. How can you say they are saved, if they are out of the Church?"</p> <p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"It is clear that this difficulty, which Bellarmine states, arises from understanding that to be in the Church means to be in the visible Church, and that, when faith declares, <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">out of the Church no one can be saved, it means out of the visible communion.</span> Otherwise it might be answered, since they are assumed to have faith, hope, and charity, they belong to the soul of the Church, and that is all that faith requires. But, Bellarmine does not so answer, and since he does not, but <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">proceeds to show that they do in a certain sense belong to the body, it is certain that he understands the article of faith as we do, and holds that men are not in the Church unless they, in some sense, belong to the body.</span> "<span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);">But</span>," Bellarmine continues, "<span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);">The author of the book 'De Ecclesiasticis Dogmatibus,' replies, that they are not saved. But this appears too severe; certain it is that St. Ambrose, in his oration on the death of Valentinian, expressly affirms that catechumens can be saved, of which number was Valentinian when he departed this life. Another solution is therefore to be sought. Melchior Cano says that catechumens may be saved, because, if not in the Church properly called Christian, they are yet in the Church which comprehends all the faithful, from Abel to the consummation of the world. But this is not satisfactory; for, since the coming of Christ there is no true Church but that which is properly called Christian, and therefore, if catechumens are not members of this, they are members of none. I reply therefore, that the assertion, 'out of the Church no one can be saved,' is to be understood of those who are of the Church neither actually nor in desire, as theologians generally say when treating of baptism.</span>" (De. Eccl. Milit. lib. 3, cap. 3)</p> <p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"I have said," says Billuart, "that catechumens are not <i>actually</i> and <i>properly</i> in the Church, because, when they request admission into the Church, and when they already have faith and charity, they may be said to be in the Church proximately and in desire, as one may be said to be in the house because he is in the vestibule for the purpose of immediately entering. And in this sense must be taken what I have elsewhere said of their pertaining to the Church, that is, that they pertain to her inchoately, as aspirants who voluntarily subject themselves to her laws; and they may be saved, notwithstanding there is no salvation out of the Church; for this is to be understood of one who is in the Church neither actually nor virtually—<i>nec re nec in voto</i>. In the same sense St. Augustine, (Tract. 4 in Joan. n. 13.) is to be understood when he says, 'Futuri erant aliqui in Ecclesia excelsioris gratiae catechumeni,' that is, in will and proximate disposition, 'in voto et proxima dispositione.' (Theolog. de Reg. Fid. Dissert. 3, art. 3.)</p> <p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"It is evident, both from Bellarmine and Billuart, that no one can be saved unless he belongs to the visible Communion of the Church, either actually or virtually, and also that <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">the salvation of catechumens can be asserted only because they do so belong; that is, because they are in the vestibule, for the purpose of entering, have already entered in their will and <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">proximate</span> disposition</span>. St. Thomas teaches with regard to these, in case they have faith working by charity, that all they lack is the reception of the visible sacrament <i>in reality</i>; but, if they are prevented by death from receiving it <i>in reality </i>before the Church is ready to administer it, that God supplies the defect, accepts the will for the deed, and reputes them to be baptized. If the defect is supplied, and God reputes them to be baptized, they are so in effect, have in effect received the visible sacrament, are truly members of the external communion of the Church, and therefore are saved in it, not out of it. (Summa, 3, q. 68, a. 2, corp. ad 2. et ad 3.</p> <p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"The case of the catechumens disposes of all who are substantially in the same category. The only persons, not catechumens, who can be in the same category, are persons who have been validly baptized, and stand in the same relation to the sacrament of Reconciliation that catechumens do to the sacrament of Faith. Infants, validly baptized, by whomsoever baptized, are made members of the Body of our Lord, and, if dying before coming to the age of reason go immediately to heaven. <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">But persons having come to the age of reason, baptized in an heretical society, or persons baptized in such society in infancy, and adhering to it after having come to the years of understanding - for there can be no difference between the two classes - whether through ignorance or not, are, as we have seen, out of unity, and<span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);"> therefore out of charity</span></span>, without which they are nothing. Their faith, if they have any, does not avail them; their sacraments are sacrilegious. The wound of sacrilege is mortal, and the only possible way of being healed is through the sacrament of Reconciliation or Penance. But for these to stand in the same relation to this sacrament that catechumens do to the sacrament of Faith, they must cease to adhere to their heretical societies, must come out from among them, seek and find the Church, recognize her as the Church, believe what she teaches, voluntarily subject themselves to her laws, knock at the door, will to enter, standing waiting to enter as soon as she opens and says, Come in. If they do all this, they are substantially in the same category with catechumens; and if, prevented by death from receiving the visible sacrament in reality, they may be saved, yet not as simply joined to the soul of the Church, but as in effect joined or restored to her external Communion. By their voluntary renunciation of their heretical or schismatic society, by their explicit recognition of the Church, by their actual return to her door, <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">by their dispositions and will to enter, they are effectually, if not in form, members of the Body as well as the soul.</span> Persons excommunicated stand on the same footing as these. They are excluded from the Church, unless they repent. If they repent and receive the visible sacrament of Reconciliation, either in reality or in desire, they may be saved because the Church, in excommunicating them, has willed their amendment, not their exclusion from the people of God; but we have no authority to affirm their salvation on any other condition.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918590924642765371.post-27516654901520118322009-07-14T01:32:00.000-07:002009-07-15T13:22:22.087-07:00St. Thomas Aquinas on the necessity of explicit Faith in the Incarnation and Trinity for salvation<a href="http://writer.zoho.com/public/immaculate/The-Catholic-Dogma1" target="_blank">The Catholic Dogma</a> by Fr.

Hence true, divine faith is necessary, because it is only by the light of divine faith that we know God, not only as the Author of nature, but also as the Author of grace and eternal glory; and therefore the Apostle says that to know that there is a God, who rewards the good and punishes the wicked, is to know him as such, not only from natural knowledge, and belief, but also from supernatural knowledge and divine faith.</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"But if St. Paul speaks here only of these two great truths, it does by no means follow, that he wishes to teach that the supernatural knowledge of these two truths only and divine faith in them are sufficient to obtain justification, that is, to obtain the grace to become the children of God; but <span style="background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">they are necessary in order to be greatly animated with hope in undergoing hard labors and struggles for the sake of virtue.</span> However, to obtain the grace of justification, we must also believe other supernatural truths, especially the mystery of the Incarnation of Christ and that of the Most Holy Trinity." (Comm. in Ep. ad Heb., ix. 6.)</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"Some theologians," says St. Alphonsus, "hold that the belief of the two other articles - the Incarnation of the Son of God, and the Trinity of Persons - is strictly commanded but not necessary, as a means without which salvation is impossible;<span style="background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);"> so that a person inculpably ignorant of them may be saved. But according to the <b>more common and truer opinion</b>, the explicit belief of these articles is necessary as a means without which no adult can be saved." </span>(First Command. No. 8.) According to St. Augustine (De Praedest. Sanctorum C. 15.) and other Theologians, the predestination, election, and Incarnation of Christ alone were owing, not to the foreseen merit of any one, not even to that of Christ himself, but only to the good pleasure of God. However, the predestination of all men in general, or the election of some in preference to others, is all owing to the merit of Christ, on account of which God has called all men to life everlasting and gives them sufficient grace to obtain it, if they make a proper use of his grace, especially that of prayer.</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"That faith," says the same great Doctor of the Church , "is sound, by which we believe that neither any adult nor infant could be delivered from sin and the death of the soul, except by Jesus Christ, the only Mediator between God and man." ( Ep. 190, olim 157, parum a principio.) Hence<b> St Thomas says</b>: Almighty God decreed from all eternity the mystery of the Incarnation, in order that men might obtain salvation through Christ. It was therefore necessary at all times, that this mystery of the Incarnation should, in some manner, be <b>explicitly</b> believed. Undoubtedly, that means is necessarily a truth of faith, by which man obtains salvation. Now men obtain salvation by the mystery of the Incarnation and Passion of Christ; for it is said in the Holy Scripture: "There is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved." (Acts, iv. 10.) Hence it was necessary at all times that the mystery of the Incarnation of Christ should be believed by all men in some manner (aliqualiter, either implicitly or explicitly), however, in a different way, according to the circumstances, of times and persons.</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">Before the fall, man believed explicitly the Incarnation of Christ. <i>Ante statum peccati homo habuit explicitam fidem de Christi incarnatione, secundum quod ordinabatur ad consummationem gloriae, non autem secundum quod ordinabatur ad liberationem a peccato per passionem et resurrectionem, quia homo non fuit praescius peccati futuri.</i> But that he had the knowledge of Christ's Incarnation seems to follow from his words: "Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife." (Gen. 11. 24) And St. Paul calls this a <i>great sacrament in Christ and in the Church</i>; (Eph. v. 32.) and therefore it cannot be believed that the first man was ignorant of this sacrament.</p> <p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">After the fall of man, the mystery of the Incarnation of Christ was <b>explicitly</b> believed, that is, not only, the Incarnation itself, but also the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, by which mankind is delivered from sin and death; for otherwise they could not have prefigured Christ's Passion by certain sacrifices offered as well before as also after the Written Law, the meaning of which sacrifices was well known to <i>those whose</i> duty it was to teach the religion of God; but as to the rest of the people,<span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);"> who believed that those sacrifices were ordained by God to foreshadow Christ to come, they had thus implicit faith in Christ.</span></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">[St. Thomas said:] As the mystery of the Incarnation was believed from the beginning, so, also, was it necessary to believe the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity; for the mystery of the Incarnation cannot be explicitly believed without faith in the Most Holy Trinity, because the mystery of the Incarnation teaches that the Son of God took to himself a human body and soul by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Hence, as the mystery of the Incarnation was explicitly believed by the teachers of religion, and implicitly by the rest of the people, so, also, was the mystery of the Most Holy Trinity explicitly believed by the teachers of religion and implicitly by the rest of the people. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102); font-weight: bold;">But in the New Law it must be <span style="font-style: italic;">explicitly</span> believed by all</span>." (De Fide, </span>Q ii., art. vii. et viii.)<br />...<br />This doctrine is <span style="background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">clearly expressed in the following words of the Athanasian Creed</span>: "He, therefore, who wishes to be saved, must thus think of the Trinity," that is, he must believe the doctrine of the Holy Trinity as explained in this Creed. "Furthermore it is necessary to everlasting salvation that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hence St. Peter says: "Be it known to you, that there is no salvation in any other name than that of Jesus Christ; for there is no other name under heaven given to men whereby we must be saved." (Acts, iv. 10, 10). "Thus," says St. Alphonsus, "there is no hope of salvation except in the merits of Jesus Christ. Hence <span style="background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">St. Thomas and all theologians conclude</span> that, since the promulgation of the Gospel, it is necessary, not only as a matter of precept, but also as a means of salvation (necessitate medii, without which no adult can be saved), to believe explicitly that we can be saved only through our Redeemer." (Reflections on the Passion of Jesus Christ, Chapt. I., No. 19). <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">The explicit belief in the mysteries of the Holy Trinity and of the Incarnation of the Son of God is therefore of the greatest importance. This belief teaches the origin of the world, its creation by God the Father; it teaches us the supernatural end of man, his fall, and the redemption of mankind by God the Son; it teaches the sanctification of souls by the gifts of the Holy Ghost.</span><br />...<br /><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"> "The Lord added daily to the Church such as should be saved." (Acts, ii. 47.)</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">Therefore the Apostles believed and the holy Scriptures teach that there is no salvation out of the Church.</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"> Hence the Fathers of the Church never hesitated to pronounce all those forever lost who die out of the Roman Catholic Church: "He who has not the Church for his mother," says St. Cyprian, "cannot have God for his Father;" and with him the Fathers in general say that, "as all who were not in the ark of Noe perished in the waters of the Deluge, so shall all perish who are out of the true Church." St. Augustine and the other bishops of Africa, at the Council of Zirta, A. D. 410, say: <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">"Whosoever is separated from the Catholic Church, however commendable in his own opinion his life may be, he shall, for the very reason that he is separated from the union of Christ, not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him."</span> Therefore, says St. Augustine, "a Christian ought to fear nothing so much as to be separated from the body of Christ (the Church). For, if he be separated from the body of Christ, he is not a member of Christ; if not a member of Christ, he is not quickened by his Spirit." (Tract. xxvii. in Joan., n. 6, col. 1992, tom. iii.)</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">...</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">"How grateful then," says St. Alphonsus, "ought we to be to God for the gift of the true faith. How great is not the number of infidels, heretics, and schismatics. The world is full of them, and, if they die out of the Church, they will all be condemned, except infants who die after baptism."</span> (Catech. first command. No. 10 and 19.) Because, as St.Augustine says, where there is no divine faith, there can be no divine charity, and where there is no divine charity, there can be no justifying or sanctifying grace, and to die without being in sanctifying grace, is to be lost forever.

If those Protestants who live in inculpable ignorance of the true religion are not guilty of the sin of heresy, does it follow that they are not guilty of sins against their conscience?</span></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">...</span></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">Socrates, Cicero, Seneca, are said to have been acquainted with the knowledge of one Supreme God; but they had not courage to profess his worship, and in their public conduct basely sacrificed to stocks and stones with the vulgar. </span>When men have banished from their heart the sense of religion, and despise the rights of justice, (and is this not the case with numbers?) will many of them scruple to offer incense to a statue, if by so doing they serve their ambition, their interest, or whatever may be their favorite passion?</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">...</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">If the Church believed that men could be saved in any religion whatever, or without any at all, it would be uncharitable in her to announce to the world that out of her there is no salvation. But as she knows and maintains that there is but one faith, as there is but one God and Lord of all, and that she is in possession of that one faith, and that without that faith it is impossible to please God, and be saved, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">it would be very uncharitable in her and in all her children, to hide Christ's doctrine from the world.</span> To warn our neighbor when he is in imminent danger of falling into a deep abyss, is considered an act of great charity. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">It is a greater act of charity to warn non-Catholics of the certain danger in which they are of falling into the abyss of hell, since Jesus Christ, and the Apostles themselves, and all their successors, have always most emphatically asserted that out of the church there is no salvation.</span></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">...</span></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">We read in Holy Scripture that Almighty God, at different times, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">scattered the Jews among the heathen and performed great miracles in favor of his chosen people. He thus wished the Gentiles to come to the knowledge of the true God.</span> In like manner, Almighty God has scattered the Roman Catholics, the children of his Church, among the heathens of our time and the Protestants. He has never failed to perform miracles in the Catholic Church. Who has not heard of the many great miracles performed in France, and elsewhere, by the use of the miraculous water of Lourdes? Who has not witnessed the wonderful protection of the Catholic Church? Who has not read the truths of the Catholic Church, even in Protestant newspapers? Who has not heard of the conversion of so many wealthy and learned Protestants to the Catholic Church? The Lord, who wishes that all should come to the knowledge of the true religion, makes use of these and other means to cause doubts to arise in the souls of those who are separated from his Church. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">Hence it is, as Bishop Hay says, next to the impossible for those Protestants who live among Catholics to be in a state of invincible ignorance.</span></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"></span></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">Such doubts as to their salvation in Protestantism are, for our separated brethren, a great grace, as Almighty God, by these doubts, begins to lead them to the way of salvation, by obliging them to seek in all sincerity for light and instruction. But those who do not heed these doubts remain culpably erroneous in a matter of the greatest importance; and to die in this state is to die in the state of reprobation; it is to be lost forever through one's own fault, as we have seen above.</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">But let us remember here, that "it is a mistake," as Bishop Hay well says, "to suppose that a formal doubt is necessary to render one's ignorance of his duty voluntary and culpable; it is enough that there be sufficient reason for doubting, though from his unjust prejudices, obstinacy, pride, or other evil dispositions of the heart, he hinder these reasons from exciting a formal doubt in his mind. Saul had no doubt when he offered sacrifice before the prophet Samuel came; on the contrary, he was persuaded that he had the strongest reasons for doing so, yet he was condemned for that very action, and himself and his family rejected by Almighty God. The Jews believed that they were acting well when they put our Saviour to death; nay, their high priest declared in full council that it was expedient for the good and safety of the nation that they should do so. <span style="background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">They were grossly mistaken, indeed, and sadly ignorant of their duty; but their ignorance was culpable, and they were severely condemned for what they did, though it was done in ignorance. And, indeed, all who act from a false and erroneous conscience are highly blamable for having such a conscience</span>, though they have never entertained any formal doubt. Nay, their not having such a doubt when they have just and solid grounds for doubting, rather renders them the more guilty, because it shows greater corruption of the heart, greater depravity of disposition. A person brought up in a false faith, which the Scriptures calls <i>sects of perdition, doctrines of devils, perverse things, lies, and hypocrisy</i>—and who has heard of the true Church of Christ, which condemns all these sects, and sees their divisions and dissensions—has always before his eyes the strongest reason to doubt the safety of his own state. If he makes any examination with sincere dispositions of heart, he must be convinced that he is in the wrong; and the more he examines, the more clearly will he see it, —for this plain reason, that it is <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">simply impossible that </span><i style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">false doctrine, lies</i><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">, and </span><i style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">hypocrisy</i><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"> should ever be supported by solid arguments sufficient to satisfy a reasonable person, who sincerely seeks the truth and begs light from God to direct him in the search.</span> Hence, if such a person never doubt, but go on, as is supposed, <i>bona fide</i>, in his own way, notwithstanding the strong grounds of doubt which he daily has before his eyes, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">this evidently shows either that he is supinely negligent in the concern of his soul, or that his heart is totally blinded by passion and prejudice.</span> There were many such persons among the Jews and heathens in the time if the apostles, who, notwithstanding the splendid light of truth which these holy preachers everywhere displayed, and which was the most powerful reason for leading them to doubt of their superstitions, were so far from having such doubts, that they thought by killing the apostles they did God a service. Whence did this arise? St. Paul himself informs us. "We renounce," says he, "the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor adulterating the Word of God, but, by manifestation of the truth, commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God." Here he describes the strange light of the truth which he preached; yet this light was hidden to great numbers, and he immediately gives the reason: "And if our Gospel be also hid, it is hid to them that are lost; in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine upon them." (II. Cor. iv. 2.) Behold the real cause of their incredulity: they are so enslaved to the things of this world by the depravity of their heart, and the devil so blinds them, that they cannot see the light; but ignorance arising from such depraved dispositions is a guilty, a voluntary ignorance, and therefore never can excuse them.</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">If this kind of material heretics, then, are lost, they are not lost on account of their heresy, which for them was no sin, but on account of the grievous sins that they committed against their conscience. </span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 204);">"For whosoever have sinned without the law," says St. Paul, "shall perish without the law." (Rom. ii. 10.)</span> The great Apostle wishes to say: Those of the heathens who do not know anything of the Christian Law, but sin against the natural Law, their conscience, will be lost, not on account of the sin of infidelity; which was no sin for those who were invincibly ignorant of the Christian Law, but on account of the great sin which they committed against the voice of' God speaking to them by their conscience. The same must be said of those Protestants who are inculpably ignorant of the Catholic religion, but sin grievously against their conscience.</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"God," says St. Thomas, "enlightens every man who comes into the world, and produces in all mankind the light of nature and of grace, as the sun does the light which imparts color and animation to all objects. But if any obstacle prevented its rays from falling on a certain object, would you attribute that defect to the sun? Or if you closed up all your windows and made your room quite dark, could you say the sun is the cause of that darkness? It is the same with the man who, by grievous sins, closes the eyes of his understanding to the light of heaven; for he is then enveloped in profound obscurity and walks in moral darkness. A scholar, who wishes to learn a more sublime science or doctrine, must have a brighter and more comprehensive conception, in order to understand clearly his master. In like manner, man, in order to be more capable of receiving divine inspirations, must have a particular disposition for them. "The Lord God hath opened my ear, and I do not resist, neither do I withdraw from Him.' (Isai. i. 5.) Hence all vices are contrary to the gifts of the Holy Ghost, because they are in opposition to divine inspiration; and they are also contrary both to God and to reason, for reason receives its lights and inspirations from God. Therefore he who grievously offends God, and is, on this account, not enlightened to know and believe the truths of salvation, must blame himself for his spiritual misfortune and punishment. Of these St. Paul says: In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of unbelievers, that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not shine unto them. (Cor. iv. 4.) `Blind the heart of this people, and shut their ears and eyes.' (Isai. vi. 10.)"</p>Be it also remembered that the light of faith is withheld from those Protestants who resemble the Pharisees. "They form to themselves," says Bishop Hay, "a great idea of their good works, not observing the vast difference there is between natural good moral actions, and supernatural Christian good works, which alone will bring a man to heaven. However corrupted our nature is by sin, yet there are few or none of the seed of Adam, who have not certain good natural dispositions, some being more inclined to one virtue, some to another. Thus some are of a humane, benevolent disposition; some tender-hearted and compassionate towards others in distress; some just and upright in their dealings; some temperate and sober; some mild and patient; some also have natural feelings of devotion, and of reverence for the Supreme Being. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">Now, all such good natural dispositions of themselves are far from being Christian virtues, and are altogether incapable of bringing a man to heaven.</span> They indeed make him who has them agreeable to men, and procure him esteem and regard from those with whom he lives; but they are of no avail before God with regard to eternity. To be convinced of this, we need only observe that good natural dispositions of this kind are found in Mahometans, Jews, and heathens, as well as among Christians; yet no Christian can suppose that a Mahometan, Jew, or heathen, who dies in that state, will obtain the kingdom of heaven by means of these virtues.<br /><br /><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">The Pharisees, among the people of God, were remarkable for many such virtues; they had a great veneration for the law of God; they made open profession of piety and devotion; gave large alms to the poor; fasted and prayed much; were assiduous in all the public observances of religion; were remarkable for their strict observance of the Sabbath, and had an abhorrence of all profanation of the holy name of God; yet Jesus Christ himself expressly declares: "Except your righteousness exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." (Matt. v. 20.) We are told that one of their number went up to the temple to pray, who was, in the eyes of the world, a very good man, led an innocent life, free from those grosser crimes which are so common among men, fasted twice a week, and gave tithes of all he possessed; yet Christ himself assures us that he was condemned in the sight of God. All this proves that none of the above good dispositions of nature are capable in themselves of bringing any man to heaven. And the reason is, because "there is no other name given to men under heaven by which we can be saved, but the name of Jesus only," (Acts iv. 10); therefore, no good works whatsoever, performed through the good dispositions of nature only, can ever be crowned by God with eternal happiness. To obtain this glorious reward, our good works must be sanctified by the blood of Jesus, and become Christian virtues. Now, if we search the Holy Scriptures, we find two conditions absolutely required to make our good works agreeable to God, and conducive to our salvation. <i>First</i>, that we be united to Jesus Christ by true faith, which is the root and foundation of all Christian virtues; for St. Paul expressly says, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">"Without faith it is impossible to please God." (Heb. xi. 6.). Observe the word </span><i style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">impossible</i><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">; he does not say it is difficult, but that it is </span><i style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">impossible</i><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">. Let, therefore, a man have ever so many good natural dispositions, and be as charitable, devout, and mortified as the Pharisees were, yet if he have not true faith in Jesus Christ, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. </span>They refused to believe in him, and therefore all their works were good for nothing as to their salvation; and unless our righteousness exceed theirs in this point, as Christ himself assures us, we shall never enter into his heavenly kingdom. But even true faith itself, however necessary, is not sufficient alone to make our good works available to salvation; for it is necessary, in the <i>second</i> place, that we be in charity with God, in his friendship and grace, without which even true faith itself will never save us. To be convinced of this, let us only give ear to St. Paul, who says, "Though I should have all faith, so as to remove mountains, though I should distribute all my goods to feed the poor, though I should give my body to be burnt, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing." (I Cor. xiii. 2.) <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">So that, let a man be ever so peaceable, regular, inoffensive, and religious in his way, charitable to the poor, and what else you please, yet if he have not the true faith of Jesus Christ, and be not in charity with God, all his apparent virtues go for nothing</span>; it is impossible for him to please God by them; and if he live and die in that state, they will profit him nothing. Hence it is manifest that those who die in a false religion, however unexceptionable may be their moral conduct in the eyes of men, yet, as they have not the true faith in Christ, and are not in charity with him, they are not in the way of salvation; for nothing can avail us in Christ but "faith that works by charity." (Gal. v. 6.)</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">...</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span class="postbody">Not guilty of the sin of heresy are all those who, without any fault of theirs, were brought up in a sect of Protestantism, and who never had an opportunity of knowing better.<span style="color: darkblue;"> This class of Protestants are called invincibly or inculpably ignorant of the true religion, or material heretics...</span><br /><br />...material heretics may call them selves Christians, and their sects Christian Churches; but they are not the right sort of Christians and their sects are not the true Church of Christ. They are not Catholic Christians....<br /><br />As long, then, as a material heretic, though through inculpable ignorance, adheres to an heretical sect, he is separated from Christ, because <span style="color: darkblue;">he is separated from his Body—the Catholic Church.</span> In that state he cannot make any supernatural acts of divine faith, hope, and charity, which are necessary to obtain life everlasting, and therefore,<span style="color: indigo;"> if he dies in that state, he is pronounced infallibly lost by St. Augustine, St. Alphonsus and all the great Doctors of the Church.</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span class="postbody"><span style="color: indigo;">...</span></span></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">One of the effects of Baptism is that, when children are validly baptized, they receive, together with the indelible character of a Christian, the habit of faith,—or a capacity, a power or faculty which enables them, when they come to the use of reason, and are instructed by the Catholic Church in revealed truths, to make acts of divine faith, this habit of faith enabling them to see clearly and believe firmly the truths of the Catholic religion. A baptized child is a child of God, and God lives in the soul of that child and is its Father. So, when God speaks through his Church to that child, it easily recognizes the voice that speaks to him as the voice of God, and firmly believes whatever that voice teaches him to believe. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">But this habitual divine faith is lost by the profession of heresy, material heresy not excepted.</span> To a child that is brought up in heresy, God does not speak when it hears the voice of a heretical teacher; if it believes that teacher, it believes not God, but man, and its faith is human, which cannot lead it to God. (See <span style="font-weight: bold;">St. Thomas</span>, De Fide, Q. V., art. iii.; Cursus Compl. Theologae, vol. 21, Q. III., art. iii., de Suscipientibus Baptismum. Instruction in Christ, Doct. chapt. ii.)</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><br /></p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">This may be more clear from the following: If a person who has come to the use of reason and professes heresy at the time of his baptism, he is indeed indelibly marked as a Christian, but he is not sanctified—the other supernatural effects of baptism being suspended for want of the proper dispositions or preparations which are required to receive not only the sacrament, but also its supernatural effects. One of the most essential requisites to receive these effects is to have the true faith, i.e., to believe God, speaking through the Catholic Church. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">Now heresy, material heresy not excepted, is a want of this faith, on account of which the supernatural effects of baptism are suspended.</span> God cannot unite himself with a soul that lives in heresy, even though it be only material heresy. As the supernatural sanctifying effects in this case are suspended, so they are for the same reason, destroyed in him who was baptized in his infancy and became a heretic, though only a material heretic, when he came to the use of reason. This person, to be again reconciled with God, must renounce heresy, believe the Catholic Church, and receive worthily the sacrament of penance; or if this cannot be had, he must have perfect contrition or charity with the desire (at least implicit) to receive the sacrament of penance. The other person, however, will be reconciled with God and truly sanctified, as soon as he renounces heresy, believes the Catholic Church, and has at least attrition (imperfect supernatural sorrow) for his sins, because it is then that the supernatural sanctifying effects of baptism take place. It is therefore evident that, if these persons and others like them were to die in heresy, they would be lost forever. (See Theolog. Curs. Compl. De Confirmatione, Part II., Q. II., art. vi.)</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">...</p><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;">"But, suppose," some one will say, "a person, in his inculpable ignorance, believes that he is on the right road to heaven, though he is not a Catholic; he tries his best to live up to the dictates of his conscience. Now, should he die in that state of belief, he would, it seems, be condemned without his fault. We can understand that God is not bound to give heaven to anybody, but, as he is just, he certainly cannot condemn anybody without his fault."</p>Whatever question may be made still in regard to the great truth in question is sufficiently answered in the explanation already given of this great truth. For the sake of greater clearness, however, we will answer a few more questions. In the answers to these questions we shall be obliged to repeat what has already been said. Now, as to the question just proposed, we answer with <span style="font-weight: bold;">St. Thomas and St. Augustine</span>: "There are many things which a man is obliged to do, but which he cannot do without the help of divine grace: as, for instance, to love God and his neighbor, and to believe the articles of faith; but he can do all this with the help of grace; and <i>to whomsoever God gives his grace he gives it out of divine mercy; and to whomsoever he does not give it, he refuses it out of divine justice</i>, in punishment of sin committed, or at least in punishment of original sin, as St. Augustine says. (Lib. de correptione et gratia, c. 5 et 6; Sum. 22. q. ii. art. v.)<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">"And the ignorance of those things of salvation, the knowledge of which men did not care to have is without doubt, a sin for them; but for those who were not able to acquire such knowledge, the want of it is a punishment for their sins," says St. Augustine; hence both are justly condemned, and neither the one nor the other has a just excuse for being lost.</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">"</span> (Epist. ad Sixtum, Edit. Maur. 194, cap. vi., n. 27.)<br />...<br /><p style="margin: 0.4em 0px 0.5em; line-height: 1.5em;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">Inculpable or invincible ignorance has never been and will never be a means of salvation.</span> To be saved, it is necessary to be justified, or to be in the state of sanctifying grace. In order to obtain sanctifying grace, it is necessary to have the proper dispositions for justification; that is, true divine faith in at least the necessary truths of salvation, confident hope in the divine Saviour, sincere sorrow for sin, together with the firm purpose of doing all that God has commanded, etc. Now, these supernatural acts of faith, hope, charity, contrition, etc., which prepare the soul for receiving sanctifying grace, can never be supplied by invincible ignorance; and if invincible ignorance cannot supply the preparation for receiving sanctifying grace, much less can it bestow sanctifying grace itself.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"> "Invincible ignorance," says St. Thomas Aquinas, "is a punishment for sin."</span> (De Infid. q. x., art. 1.) It is, then, a curse, but not a blessing or a means of salvation.</p>But if we say that inculpable ignorance cannot save a man, we thereby do not say that invincible ignorance damns a man. Far from it. To say, invincible ignorance is no means of salvation, is one thing; and to say, invincible ignorance is the cause of damnation is another. To maintain the latter, would be wrong, for inculpable ignorance of the fundamental principles of faith excuses a heathen from the sin of infidelity, and a Protestant from the sin of heresy; because such invincible ignorance, being only a simple involuntary privation, is no sin. Hence Pius IX. said "that, were a man to be invincibly ignorant of the true religion, such invincible ignorance would not be sinful before God; that, if such a person should observe the precepts of the Natural Law and do the will of God to the best of his knowledge, God, in his infinite mercy, may enlighten him so as to obtain eternal life; for, the Lord, who knows the heart and thoughts of man will, in his infinite goodness, not suffer any one to be lost forever without his own fault."<br />...<br />St. Augustine, in the same age, says: "The Catholic Church alone is the body of Christ; the Holy Ghost gives life to no one who is out of this body." (<i>Epist</i>. 185, § 50, <i>Edit. Bened</i>.) And in another place, "Salvation no one can have but in the Catholic Church. Out of the Catholic Church he may have anything but salvation. He may have honor, he may have baptism, he may have the Gospel, he may both believe and preach in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; but he can find salvation nowhere but in the Catholic Church." (<i>Serm. ad. Caesariens. de Emerit</i>.) Again, <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">"In the Catholic Church," says he, "there are both good and bad. But those that are separated from her, as long as their opinions are opposite to hers, cannot be good. For though the conversation of some of them appears commendable, yet their very separation from the Church makes them bad, according to that of our Saviour</span> (Luke, xi. 23), 'He that is not with me is against is against me; and he that gathers not with me scattereth.'" --(<i>Epist</i>. 209, <i>ad Feliciam</i>.)Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918590924642765371.post-32415735318694447562009-07-10T20:41:00.000-07:002009-08-12T17:52:08.836-07:00In the Old Testament, all the world was damned except few Israelites<span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://cathom.blogspot.com/2009/05/of-great-scarcity-of-predestinate.html">Of the Great Scarcity of the Predestinate, by Fr. Drexelius, S.J.</a>:<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">...Saint Vincent Ferrer</span>ius of Saint Dominic's order, that mirror of preachers and religious men, did once in a public Sermon discourse with great efficacy of the scarcity of the predestinate and confirmed it with a wonderful example; whose words in reverence of so great a person I will be as exact in reporting, as the difference of language will give me leave. [S. Vinc. Domin. Sepiuag serm. 6. post initium.] Before our Savior's coming into the world, says he, in human flesh, more than five thousand years were already past, and <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">except some few of the Children of Israel who departed to Limbo, all the rest of the world was damned.</span> Imagine with yourself besides, in the time of the law of Moyses how many Children have died without Circumcision; as also in the time of the law of Christ how many without Baptism; of all which number likewise not one is saved. Moreover how many Jews, Saracens, Pagans and Infidels, how many wicked Christians (for faith and Baptism cannot save a man unless they be accompanied with good life) and how many other Christians are there besides, who although they have faith, are yet proud, avaricious, of lewd life, and given to many other vices etc. And here note the example of the Archdeacon of Lyons, who having resigned his benefice, undertook a course of austere penance for forty years together in the wilderness. This holy man after his death appeared to the Bishop of Lyons, who desiring of him to discover [disclose] somewhat unto him of the other world,<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"> </span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">the Saint answered that thirty thousand in the world had died the same day with him, whereof only 5 were saved,</span> himself and <i>S. Bernard </i>being two of them, who ascended immediately to heaven, the other three remaining in Purgatory, and all the rest irrecoverably damned. This is the reason why our Savior advises us with so much solicitude to enter by the narrow gate: <i>Intrare per augustam portam. </i>This narrow gate of Paradise is the will of God to which everyone must conform himself who desires to enter into Paradise. The broad gate is our own will, and the spacious way is worldly conversation; as to eat and drink our fill, to follow our lustful appetites, take our pleasure, revenge ourselves of those who have injured us, and the like. So as <i>pauci sunt electi, </i>but a few are saved. To which exhortation of Saint Vincent we will add another example recounted by an approved Author....<br /><br />From</span> <a href="http://eens123.blogspot.com/2009/06/whether-everyone-may-be-saved-in-his.html">Whether Everyone may be Saved in His Own Religion</a><span style="font-size:100%;"> by Fr. Lessius:<br /><br /></span>The fundamental reason whereupon this opinion especially relies, is of no moment. For first, if it be not incredible that God <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">for the space of some thousands of years hath left the whole world in Idolatry, excepting only the Jewish nation being but a little portion</span> or corner of the whole world, and to have <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">permitted it to be utterly overthrown</span>, albeit there were so many rare wits among them, so many diligent worshipers of God, and all human justice, and honesty; it should not also seem incredible, if we say that<span style="font-weight: bold;"> now, also he suffers the Turks and Jews to perish.</span><br /><br />From PDF pg. 10 of Fr. William Smith's <p><a href="http://strobertbellarmine.net/books/ERL128--Smith--Condemnabitur.pdf">Qui Non Credit Condemnatibur (PDF):</a></p><br />God (say they) is most merciful, and therefore it would be much repugnant to his infinite mercy, to damn for all eternity, any man that believes in him, and in Jesus Christ, as his Redeemer; so that withal he forbear doing of all wrong, but lead a virtuous (or at least, a moral) life, though in other articles of less importance he may err. To this I answer, with the Apostle, [Rom. cap. 11.) <span style="font-style: italic;">O altitudo dibitiarum sapientia & scientia Dei!</span> God's judgments are inscrutable, and to be admired, not to be overcuriously pried into. If it was his divine pleasure, for many ages to make choice only of the Jewish Nation (a very handful to the whole earth) for his elected people, and <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); font-weight: bold;">suffer all the rest of the world (generally speaking) to lie drowned in Idolatry, and therefore to be damned</span>. And if also after our Savior's Incarnation, he vouchsafed not, for the space of many ages, to enlighten whole Countries with the Gospel of Christ, but <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204); font-weight: bold;">permitted them to continue (to their souls' eternal perdition) in their former Idolatry & Heathenism</span>; yea suffering even to this very day (and how longer after, his divine Majesty only knows) divers vast Countries to persevere in their foresaid Infidelity, if (I say) this proceeding in God is best liking to himself, and that for the same he cannot be truly charged with Injustice or cruelty, seeing he gave the insufficient means of salvation by the law of Nature, and did not withdraw from them grace sufficient leaving them thereby without excuse. Then much less can any man expostulate God of injustice or want of mercy (for his divine goodness is nothing but justice and mercy itself) if he suffer men to perish eternally, and damn them for want of an entire, complete, and perfect faith an all the articles of Christianity; especially in these times, when no Christian can pretend for excuse any invincible ignorance in matters of faith, by reason that the true articles of Christian Religion, are sufficiently propounded and divulged by God's Church, to all Christians whatsoever; therefore touching God's secret judgments and disposals herein, we will conclude with [Cap 30) Esay: <span style="font-style: italic;">Deus judicii Dominus.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918590924642765371.post-83029817726432334232009-06-25T11:56:00.006-07:002022-07-27T21:49:11.664-07:00Lessius: Whether Everyone may be Saved in His Own Religion<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The first question shall be, Whether it be sufficient for salvation to believe in God and do no man injury? which is as much to say as, Whether every man may be saved in his own Faith which he professes, if therein he endeavor to live honestly?</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">THE I. QUESTION.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">CONCERNING the first Question many in these times do hold & are of opinion that every man may be saved in his own religion, & their principal reason wherewith they are moved to this, is, because it seems unto them <b>incredible that all Jews and Turks</b>, many of whom do devoutly worship God, and deal justly with their neighbors, should perish for all eternity, only because they have not believed in Christ, especially since for want of this belief they <b>seem not to deserve much blame</b>, they being <b>from their infancy </b>trained up in a religion different from Christianity. For why, say they, should God who would all men to be saved, so straiten the way unto heaven? Why should those miserable souls, who <b>according to their capacity do their best</b> to please him, & do wrong to no man, & do lead a just and honest life, be condemned to <b>eternal pain for the ignorance</b> of that thing wherein they were <b>never sufficiently instructed</b>?</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The I. Reason.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">But this opinion of theirs, although in natural reason it may seem to carry some color of truth & equity, yet considering those things which are revealed unto us in holy Scriptures, it is a mere paradox. For if every Turk and Jew may be saved in their belief, then in vain have the Apostles and holy Fathers so much labored in preaching & planting of the Christian faith.<b> In vain so many martyrs </b>by all manner & kind of torment have shed their blood, and spent their life in the confession thereof. For <b>they might have</b> abstained from this doctrine & profession without any prejudice to their salvation, and have rested <b>contented with the Jews</b> in the profession and <b>acknowledging of one God.</b> I add further: Then in vain was Christ made man; in vain did he work so many Miracles, that so he might be acknowledged and believed to be the Messias & Savior of the world; in vain was he crucified, and died. For none of all these things was necessary to man's salvation, it being sufficient to send preachers about the world to <b>persuade men to the belief of one God</b>. After this manner reasons the Apostle Gal. 2. If justice be by the Law, then in vain (sayth he) is Christ dead: which is as much to say, if Justice can be obtained by the knowledge of one God, and observation of the Law, in vain was Christ crucified, because then the death of Christ had not been necessary for our salvation.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Besides, hence it must necessarily follow, that the whole Scripture is false, since that it tells us [Rom. 3. Apoc. 1.&7. Act. 4] how Christ is our Savior, Mediator, and Redeemer, and propounds him unto us as a propitiation by faith in his blood, by whose Sacrifice we are reconciled unto God by his blood, our sins are washed away, and with whose faith we are justified. <b>Neither is there any other name under heaven given unto men</b> in which they ought to be saved. Thus speaks the holy Scripture: and all this must needs be frivolous and false, if every man may be saved in his own Religion.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">But some may perhaps object, that Christ is indeed our Redeemer, and that all our good comes from him, yet his faith not withstanding is not absolutely necessary. For it is sufficient that we believe, that all our good comes and proceeds from the bountiful goodness of God unto us: neither is it needful for us to know by what means it is bestowed upon us.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">But this not only repugns to the holy Scripture, but also it is against the reason of the holy Scripture, because the said holy Scripture doth evidently teach us that Christ's redemption is not applied unto us but by faith, and therefore, <b>all such as are destitute of the faith of Christ</b> are void of their justification; and remaining still guilty of sin, <b>are the children of wrath</b>, and in danger of eternal damnation.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">It repugns to reason, because to the end that we may become partakers of any great and unaccustomed benefit, all reason <b>requires, that we acknowledge the benefit</b>, and our benefactor, & that we honor him as it becomes us, with all thanksgiving: for both the condition of the benefit and of our benefactor doth require of us this gratefulness of mind. Seeing therefore that the benefit of our redemption is so great and unaccustomed, & he who bestowed it upon us so great and famous, as also the means whereby he bestowed it upon us, so strange and marvelous; it is requisite we should acknowledge all these things, lest we should <b>live and die ungrateful </b>toward so great a benefactor, and lest instead of blessing & thanking him, after the manner of the Jews, we curse and blaspheme him. It is therefore an absurd thing, to esteem those who do not believe in Christ, to be partakers of eternal salvation prepared for us by Christ. The which also by this may be confirmed, because <b>none can be saved who doth not know God and the benefit of his creation</b>: for otherwise all Idolators might be saved: neither therefore can he be saved, who doth not know the benefit of his redemption, because the <b>benefit of our redemption is far greater </b>and more admirable, and doth more appertain to the Glory of God, and of Christ our Redeemer, and requires also of us greater honor, service, & thanksgiving.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Neither is it sufficient for us to know in general that all good things come unto us from God, for this is not sufficient for the honor and gratitude which is due unto him, but <b>we must also know what and how great the benefit is</b>, as also by what manner, way, and means he bestowed it upon us: that is to say, that he hath delivered us from sin, and everlasting death, and that he hath opened unto us the way to eternal life, & that after a most admirable manner, to wit by joining our nature unto his, and by suffering therein death for us. For this especially commends his charity, mercy, and justice: this also exacts at our hands all duty, praise, and thanksgiving, these therefore are <b>most necessarily to be known</b> to salvation.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">If everyone may be saved in his own faith, then therefore that faith is sufficient to salvation which is not a gift of God, but an <b>human persuasion</b>, conceived by our private judgment, relying upon <b>human authority</b>, & built upon a <b>deceitful foundation.</b> For the Turks, although they believe one God to be the Creator of heaven and earth, and to be the rewarder of both good and evil works, [The ground of faith among the Jews & Turks is false] their faith notwithstanding is not of the holy Ghost, but of their own private judgment, or rather of the devil: for <b>they do not believe so because God hath revealed it unto men by any true Prophet</b>, but because Mahomet, whom they think to be the Prophet of God, & his instrument to teach mortal men, hath so set it down in his Alcoran [Koran]. Albeit therefore that which they believe, be true, yet because the <b>ground of their belief</b>, and the whole reason thereof is false and pestilent, to wit, <b>that Mahomet is a Prophet of God</b>; the faith itself whereby they believe, is deceitful, and the foundation thereof whereupon it is grounded is hurtful to salvation, necessarily inclining and forcing the mind to cast itself into all the pestiferous errors of that sect. How therefore can that faith be called sufficient for them unto salvation, or that they can be saved by that faith? How can that which is uncertain, deceitful, & pestiferous, be made the foundation of our justice before God, or of eternal salvation?</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">In like manner, albeit the Jews do believe the same, or rather more things agreeable unto truth, yet the faith whereby they do believe them, is deceitful and void of the spirit of God. For the whole reason or cause of their belief is, because the Rabbis and doctors of their synagogue, do so interpret the holy Scriptures unto them. For <b>they are the rule of their belief</b>, or which is all one, the holy Scripture, as it is subject to their interpretation. But this whole reason of their belief is deceitful, and no less hurtful and dangerous, than that of the Turks: for it is no less hurtful to believe, that their Rabbi's interpreting the holy Scriptures are endued with the spirit of God, than to believe that Mahomet is the Prophet of God: neither are they drawn into lesser absurdities by the force of that principle. <b>How therefore can that faith be the foundation, or ground of salvation?</b></span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The 4. Reason.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Finally this opinion <b>makes no difference betwixt Turcism [Islam], Judaism and Christianity, but in some few indifferent matters</b>, and nothing necessary unto salvation; insomuch that it is all one in what religion thou livest; seeing that thou may indifferently in all of them obtain thy salvation; the which is nothing else, but to open the way to the Alcoran, & to make Mahomet equal with Christ, or rather <b>manifestly to bring in Atheism</b>. For to approve every Religion is to take away all Religion, and to think none necessary, seeing that the true Religion can be but one.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The fundamental reason whereupon this opinion especially relies, is of no moment. For first, <b>if it be not incredible that God</b> for the space of some thousands of years hath left the whole world in Idolatry, excepting only the Jewish nation being but a little portion or corner of the whole world, and to have permitted it to be utterly overthrown, <b>albeit there were so many rare wits among them</b>, so many diligent worshipers of God, and all human justice, and honesty; it should not also seem incredible, if we say that <b>now, also he suffers the Turks and Jews to perish.</b></span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Secondly, the Turks and Jews are less to be excused now, in that they do not believe in Christ, than the Heathens were in times past in not acknowledging one God to be the Creator of heaven and earth. The reason is, because when almost the whole world was in Idolatry, the fervent heat of the common custom carried all by force away with it: neither was there any reason offered unto private men why they should greatly doubt of their Religion: neither if there had been doubt objected unto them could they find out <b>any easy way to know the truth. But now</b> after that the faith and Religion of Christ is divulged throughout the whole world, and that Christians are everywhere extant, it cannot be, but that <b>many occasions are offered</b> unto the Turks and Jews of <b>doubting of their Religion</b>. They are bound therefore to discuss, and confer the matter with the Christians dwelling nigh unto them; the which if they do not, but <b>avert their minds</b> from these kind of thoughts, by reason of the hatred they bear unto Christian Religion, or upon some other cause, they make themselves <b>inexcusable before God</b>: for the business of our Religion & salvation is of <b>so great weight and importance</b>, that it ought to be preferred before all other things, & when there is any just reason of doubting offered, it must withal diligence be examined, albeit we should for that purpose be forced to go into far countries for our resolution.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Lastly, if there be any who have <b>heard nothing of Christian Religion</b> or which do think that there is nothing whereby they may be justly moved to any further inquisition, those men shall not be damned for the sin of infidelity, that is to say, because they have not believed in Christ, but for some other things, which they have done <b>against the law of nature,</b> the which by help of God they might have eschewed: for God hath not let them so destitute of his providence and help, but that they may avoid those sins which they do commit, if they would; as they may & ought to cooperate with God's holy inspirations, and take comfort and pleasure therein. None therefore can impute his damnation unto God, albeit the way be strait unto salvation, but unto himself, to <b>his own negligence</b>, I say, and wickedness, whereby he hath neglected God's holy inspirations, and contemned his profitable admonitions, and <b>willingly and wittingly against his own conscience</b> hath thrown himself headlong into sin, it being his utter overthrow.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">THE II. QUESTION. [Whether one can be saved as long as one believes in the Trinity and Apostle's Creed, while disagreeing on everything else (that is, whether protestants can be saved)]</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">THE other question is, whether it be sufficient to salvation to believe in Christ, and that he died for our sins albeit we will not believe many other things. Many, especially of the common sort of people, do esteem it sufficient, so that those things be believed which are set down in the Apostle's Creed, of God and Christ; <b>other things they account indifferent</b>, and every one may believe what with a good faith he pleases, but they will have the <b>Apostle's Creed believed</b> of everyone, <b>in that sense which seems best</b> unto any of them. They conclude therefore, that<b> any who confesses Christ may be saved </b>in his own faith, whether he be a Papist, or a <b>Lutheran, or a Calvinist, or an Anabaptist,</b> or of any other sect, for all these have the same head, which is Christ, all do rely upon the same Foundation which is Christ Jesus; [Colloss. 2, I. Cor. 3.] they cannot therefore be deceived of their salvation albeit they disagree in all other things. Hereupon some noble men who do use these new religions to the establishment and increase of their power and dominions, do labor very much to make one Church of the Lutherans and Calvinists, and they go about to persuade us, that there is no difference amongst them, but in some small points, & indifferent matters.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">But this opinion does include in it many inconveniences.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The I. Reason.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">First, because <b>it saves almost all the ancient heretics</b>: for most of them did confess Christ & believe Creed in their own sense. The Arians therefore might be saved in their heresy who denied God the Son to be consubstantial with his Father. The Macedonians who made the holy Ghost lesser than God the Son. The Nestorians who affirmed there were two Persons in Christ. The Eutichians who held that the flesh of Christ was converted into his divinity. The Apollinarists who said that the divine Word was united in Christ, as a reasonable soul is united to the body. The Monothelites, who affirmed that there was one only will and operation in Christ. The Pelagians, who denied original sin, and taught that a man by his natural forces might deserve the Grace of God, and his salvation. The Donatists who affirmed that the Church of God was everywhere perished, but only in Donatus's company. The Novatians who denied penance to those that had denied their faith. The Montanist who thought Montanus to be the Holy Ghost. All these according to <b>this opinion, everyone in his own faith and heresy might be saved</b>, because they believed in Christ, & did hold the Apostle's Creed no less to be believed, than now-a-days the Lutherans and Calvinists do. But what can be said more <b>absurd</b> or more like a <b>paradox</b> in the Church of God? For <b>if eternal salvation may be obtained by this kind of faith, why have there been held so many Councils against those heresies</b>, the Bishops throughout the whole world being assembled together with so great labor and charges? why have those heresies been so often condemned by Excommunication? why have the holy Fathers so much labored in the extirpation thereof? why have Catholics so much <b>detested the conversation and company of those heretics</b>? why would some of them <b>rather choose to suffer</b> banishment, death, and all kind of torments <b>than to subscribe unto any of these heresies</b>? All these things truly have been <b>done in vain</b>, foolishly and wrongfully,<b> if in these sects eternal salvation might have been obtained</b>: the which seeing no wise man can say, we must of necessity confess, that those heresies were the plagues of souls, and that salvation could by no means consist with them.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Secondly, because it condemns all antiquity of error, who hath always judged, that <b>heretics cannot be saved</b>, and <b>therefore</b> it hath <b>opposed </b>itself<b> so vehemently </b>against them, and has always very diligently confuted them.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Thirdly, because it condemns the Apostle himself, who in his third to Titus commands us in this sort: <b>Eschew an heretic</b> after one or two admonitions, knowing certainly, that he which is such a one, is overthrown, and sins, being condemned by his own proper judgment. Why doth he command him to be eschewed, if his error be not a hindrance to salvation? <b>why doth he say, that he is overthrown & condemned?</b> In like manner in his 2. Tim 2. Their speech (sayth he) creeps as a canker. Even as therefore the canker is a disease which kills a man's body unless it be cut away, so is an heretic unto a company of Christians and Catholics.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">But <b>some peradventure will object</b>, and say, that none is to be accounted an heretic, but he who rejects Christ, or denies something belonging unto the Creed. But this is absurdly, & unwisely spoken, for so he should not be an heretic who should take away both the old and new Testament and should say, that those things are either feigned, or written by the spirit only of a man, and as the writings of profane authors subject to many errors. He were not an heretic who should <b>deny hell;</b> or the eternity of the pains thereof, or should affirm that <b>all the devils should once be saved</b>, seeing that there is no mention made of these things in the Apostle's Creed: he should not be an heretic who should forbid marriage, and who should say that marriages were ordained by the devil, who also should affirm that some kind of flesh is of its own nature unclean; all whom notwithstanding the Apostle judges to be heretics I. Tim. 4. He were not an heretic, who should say that there are <b>two persons in Christ</b>, whom notwithstanding <b>S. John calls an heretic</b>, and Antichrist Epist. I. 6. 4. He were not an heretic, who should deny Baptism, and all other Sacraments. And finally <b>none of those</b> of whom we have spoken before, <b>were to be accounted heretics</b>: the <b>which is contrary to all antiquity</b>, <b>and all the doctors</b> who have lived in these ten or twelve ages past.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Fourthly, this opinion doth make all the foresaid heresies, and <b>sects equal with the Catholic faith</b> and Religion, affirming that we may as well be saved in them as in it. The Catholic Religion therefore shall be <b>no better than Arianism</b>, Pelagianism, Nestorianism, Eurichianism, and other false Religions; the which both in itself is <b>most absurd</b>, and nothing else but to <b>induce</b> <b>a new Atheism</b>. For <b>to affirm all Religions to be good</b>, and that it little imports the work of our Salvation what Religion we profess, is to make no account of any Religion: for if there be any Religion, it cannot be but one, as there is <b>but one Truth</b>, one Justice, one Faith, one happiness, one Lord and God, and <b>one Man Jesus Christ</b>, mediator of God and man. </span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Fifthly, it is a scornful thing to say, that is is sufficient for everyone to believe the Creed according to their own sense and understanding thereof, seeing <b>there is but one only Truth</b>, to the which <b>if we do not attain</b>, we believe that which is false: but a <b>false faith avails nothing to salvation</b>. It is therefore all one whether thou believest the Creed after such a manner, or after no manner at all: one therefore may be saved albeit he doth not absolutely believe many articles. The same also may be said of the holy Scriptures. For if it be sufficient to believe the holy Scriptures understood in their own sense, seeing that this sense may often times be erroneous, it will not suffice, albeit thou dost not believe them at all; for a <b>false faith can be no more</b> needful<b> </b>to salvation<b> than no faith at all</b>, that is to say, whereby one doth absolutely believe nothing at all.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">If thou doest say, that the Creed must be believed in a true sense, then thou condemns all the sects of this time, whereof there is none which believes all the articles of the Creed in the same sense with Catholics, or which doth not differ one from another in the explication of the Creed. Wherefore seeing that there is but only one Truth, it necessarily follows, that <b>all Religions saving one do err from the truth</b>, & therefore are not sufficient to salvation. </span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">But it is evident, that <b>they differ much in the understanding of the Creed</b>, for that Article, And in Iesus Christ his only Son, the Arians, Tritheitans, and many Calvinists affirming the Son lesser than the Father, do otherwise explicate it than the Lutherans, & Catholics do, who hold God the Son to be equal ad consubstantial with his Father. The article of Christ's descending into hell, the Calvinists do otherwise understand, who do think that Christ suffered there the torments of the damned souls, and that he doubted of his salvation, and that he was afraid lest he should be wholly consumed by everlasting death: otherwise Catholics and Lutherans hold, who say that such an exposition is not the sense of that Article, but the <b>blasphemy of Calvin</b>. The article of Christ's ascending into heaven, is otherwise understood by the Lutherans, and Ubiquitarists who <b>hold Christ's body to be present everywhere</b> and in all places, as his divinity is present everywhere: otherwise the Calvinists and Catholics hold, who do not doubt to affirm, but that by this exposition the whole Creed is overthrown, and that Christ's Incarnation, Nativity, Passion, death, ascending to heaven, and his coming to Judgment is thereby quite taken away. The article of judging the quick and the dead, the Catholics do otherwise expound, who hold that God shall so judge us that he will reward our good works with heaven, and punish our evil deeds with hell: otherwise the Calvinists and Lutherans, who <b>deny all reward to good works</b>, and that God only in his divine judgment will principally esteem, and<b> reward a special faith only</b>. The article of the Holy Ghost, the Catholics, and Lutherans do otherwise understand than the Arians, and many Calvinists. The article of the Church, the Lutherans and Calvinists do understand of the <b>invisible congregation of those which are predestinate</b>: the Catholics do understand it of the <b>visible company of Catholics</b>, <b>wherein many are predestinate, many are reprobate. </b>The article of Communion of Saints, the Lutherans and Calvinists do so extenuate that they take away almost all the communion held by Catholics. The article of Remission of Sins, they explicate of not imputation only, not acknowledging any inward renovation by inherent justice and the infused gifts of God, after which manner the Catholics do hold that sins are forgiven.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">By these it is <b>manifest</b>, <b>how great a difference there is</b> in the understanding of the Creed. Seeing therefore that there is but only one Truth, and this in our Consultation we have showed to be among Catholics; <b>it necessarily follows, that all other sects do hold a false doctrine</b>, and faith of the Creed. If therefore a true faith of the Creed be necessary, it cannot possibly be, that everyone may be saved in his own faith and Religion. If a false faith suffice, how can a false faith help us to salvation?</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Sixthly, the Holy Scripture is of no less authority than the Apostle's Creed, neither doth he a less injury unto God, who <b>denies anything</b> <b>clearly expressed in Holy Scripture</b>, than he who rejects some article of the Creed: there is therefore no reason why faith should be restrained unto the Creed only, and that we may believe at our pleasure in all other things what we list, seeing that we are no less bound to know distinctly all such things as are in Holy Scripture, we are bound notwithstanding in general to believe all things; insomuch that without the sin of heresy, we may not reject as false and doubtful, anything contained therein. By what color therefore or probability can it be said, that it little imports, how in other matters thou believest, so that thou believe still in Christ and his Creed. Why must the Creed rather be still kept than all the Holy Scripture, seeing that the authority of the Creed is no greater than that of the Holy Scripture? this fancy truly is very foolish and simple, and altogether void of any good ground whereon it may rely.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The 7. Reason. [faith on false foundation is not sufficient to salvation]</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Seventhly, in every act of faith we must not only regard what we do believe, but also, and that principally, <b>upon what ground we believe</b>, & what is the whole reason of our belief; for of what kind the motive or reason of our belief is, of the same is our faith: if it be certain and infallible:<b> if it be uncertain, our faith also will be uncertain</b>, and subject to error; as for example's sake: The <b>Turk believes</b> there is one God Creator of all things, <b>because his Alcoran doth teach him so</b>, <b>which he thinks</b> to be written by the spirit of God; his faith, albeit he believe that which is true, relies upon a false and deceitful reason: by the force whereof he is moved to <b>believe many false</b> and blasphemous things; as that there are <b>not three Persons </b>in the B. Trinity, and that <b>Christ is not God</b>, and that Christ is inferior to Mahomet, and that Circumcision & the like are still to be kept. That faith therefore by reason of the foundation is both deceitful and hurtful: the <b>same happens unto all heretics</b>, the which being supposed I urge the argument in this manner.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">That faith which relies upon a <b>false foundation</b>, albeit it believes some things which are true, <b>cannot be sufficient to salvation</b>: but the faith of all the sects of this time relies upon a false foundation: it cannot be therefore sufficient for salvation. The first proposition in manifest in itself, for how can that which is <b>deceitful & uncertain be the foundation of our eternal salvation? </b>How can the true Religion whereby we please God, be grounded in a false deceitful faith? Truly it is no less repugnant to reason, than if thou should say, that <b>truth is grounded upon lies</b>, wisdom upon error, and virtue upon folly.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">The second proposition, to wit, that all sects are grounded upon a false and deceitful foundation, I prove in this manner: for either <b>they believe their opinions</b> for the<b> authority of their Apostles Luther, Calvin</b>, Melancthon, Zwinglius &c. <b>whom they judge to be endued </b>with the<b> spirit of God</b>, or because every one of them in their own private judgment do believe those things to be conceived in holy Scripture, or lastly because their own private spirit doth inwardly testify unto them, that those things are true, or that this is the meaning of holy Scripture: for whatsoever the sects of these times do believe, they are moved thereunto by one of these three reasons, and they appoint one of them to be the foundation or reason of their belief: but these foundations and reasons be altogether false and deceitful.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">As for the first reason, to wit the authority of Luther, Calvin, and the rest who first invented these new Religions, that it is deceitful, is manifest, because we see by experience that both they might, and have been often deceived, for <b>they have revoked many things</b>, corrected many things, and in many things have they <b>contradicted themselves</b>, as hath been declared in our Consultation of Religion in the 9. Consideration, and the sixth Reason. Hence it comes to pass that few nowadays will rely upon their authority, because they say, they were men, and therefore subject to error, wherefore their followers also do leave them at their own pleasure, when they think they have found anything fitter for their purpose: <b>their authority therefore is deceitful, & uncertain</b>, even by the judgment of their own scholars, and followers.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Neither is the other, to wit, their <b>private Judgment</b>, whereby they expound the Holy Scripture, less deceitful: for many false things by that private judgment seem to be true, and many things which before seemed true are afterward judged false. From hence <b>arises</b> <b>so great variety </b>and inconstancy in many of them concerning matters of faith, because indeed <b>man's judgment is weak,</b> especially in the <b>mysteries of our faith</b>, and the understanding of Holy Scripture, the which <b>far exceeds the reach of man's wisdom and reason</b>.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Many do answer, that they do not rely upon their judgment in matters of faith, but upon the Holy Scriptures which cannot err: wherein how miserably they are deceived by this appears, because almost <b>all the sects do say, that they rely upon Holy Scripture</b>, whereas <b>notwithstanding they differ</b> among themselves in most of the matters, one teaching contrary unto another, the which could by no means come to pass, if they did not rest upon their own judgments, but upon the lawful and common understanding of the Holy Scripture: for the Holy <b>Scripture is no where contrary unto itself</b>, neither doth it anywhere disagree from itself: that therefore they so greatly jar & disagree among themselves, is caused, by that they make a sense to the Holy Scripture according to their own private judgment, the which is diversly framed by them, according to the diversity of judgments and understanding among them: they rely therefore upon the Holy Scripture, not as it is interpreted by the Catholic Church & the holy Fathers, but as they in their private judgment do interpret it: for the virtue and force of the holy Scripture doth not only consist in the bear words, but in the sense and meaning thereof: but the private judgment invents this sense, and joins it to the words of the Scripture as life unto the body : the whole reason of their faith therefore is their private judgment, the which how deceitful oftentimes it is, may easily be declared by the disagreement of so many sects. For <b>it is all one whether thou say</b> that thou <b>rely upon Scripture</b> as it is interpreted by they proper judgment, or that thou <b>rely upon thy own judgment</b> precisely in itself.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Finally, the third reason whereupon many nowadays do rely, is most deceitful and scornful of all, a manifest sign whereof is that among the <b>Anabaptists, who above all others are guided by the instinct of the spirit, there is the greatest variety of sects</b>, and disagreement of faith; the which could not be, but that the spirit whereupon they rely, and by whom they are governed is deceitful and variable. The same also is to be seen among Calvinists, and Lutherans, and amongst their sects and divers factions, for their own opinion is certain and evident unto every one of them by the testimony of their own private judgment, the which inwardly reaches every one of them and affords the testimony of truth unto everyone of them, whereby it is manifest that this spirit is not the Holy Ghost, the spirit of truth, who cannot teach contraries, or be opposite unto itself; but it is a <b>wicked spirit, spirit of error</b>, who is a liar from the beginning, & the father of lies, who works in the children of incredulity, of whom the Apostle says, Because they have not received the charity of truth, he will <b>therefore send them the operation of error, that they may believe in lies</b>. [2. Thess. 6.] And in another place. In the last days there shall some depart from their faith attending to the spirits of error, and doctrines of the devil. For every heresy is the doctrine of the devil. And S. John says, Do not believe every spirit but try their spirits, whether they be of God or not. For many false prophets are gone out into the world. [I. Tim. 4]</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">This therefore is the spirit which bears rule in the hearts of heretics, whose testimony & operation they feel inwardly engrafted in their hearts, and yet they think it to be the work of the Holy Ghost, who so blinds their mind, and fantasizes, that they judge light to be darkness, and darkness light, that they think the most clear truth of the Catholic faith to be an error, and most filthy errors to be the clear truth. And truly if they were not wholly blinded & bewitched, they might easily perceive that spirit whom they feel inwardly, not to be the spirit of God, or <b>at the least they might begin to doubt thereof,</b> seeing that all sects among whom there is so great assention & variety of opinions, do <b>all equally feel, boast of, and follow that testimony of this spirit,</b> and rely upon it in the confirmation of their most contrary opinions: but <b>this happens by the just judgment of God</b>: for as the <b>Jews who would not receive Christ were permitted to be blinded by the devil</b>, as it is manifest by the Apost 2. ac Thes. 2 so heretics because they have forsaken the Catholic faith (the which is no less a fault than that of the Jews) are delivered unto him, that he may as it were bewitch their minds, & <b>drive them into all kind of error</b>.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">[heretics regard themselves free from error, and all the Fathers of church to be subject to error]</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">But if any will attentively consider he shall easily perceive a <b>more potent operation of the devil</b> and bewitching of minds in our heretics, than either in Jews or Mahometans, and that for two reasons. First because the <b>Jews agree in the same faith</b>, neither is there any variety of sects among them; among the <b>Mahomets there are only two sects</b> and there is no great difference betwixt them. But among heretics of these times here are many sects, some arising by the increase of new opinions, who condemn one another's heresy, and all there are risen within the space of 90. years, the which is a manifest sign, that the <b>devil marvelously possesses inwardly the hearts of these men</b> troubling their fancies, perverting their imaginations and judgments, that they cannot remain or be quiet anywhere.</span></div>
<div class="p1" data-darkreader-inline-color="" style="--darkreader-inline-color: #e8e6e3; color: black; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Secondly, because the common sort of people among the Jews and Turks do not rely upon their own judgment, or upon the testimony and instinct of the private spirit, but upon the judgment of their doctors, or (which is all one) upon their own Scripture, as it is interpreted unto them by the doctors of their Religion; they have therefore the rule of their faith and <b>ground of their belief </b>conformable as it were to reason, that is to say, the <b>common consent </b>of their predecessors, or the Scripture explicated unto them by the <b>consent of the doctors of their Religion.</b> But most of the <b>heretics of these times do not respect</b> their Superiors and Apostles from whom they first received this new Gospel, but they forsake them <b>as men subject to error</b>, and they rely wholly upon their own judgment, or upon the testimony of the private spirit, or which is all one, upon the Scripture only, understood after the sense of their own Judgment & private spirit, the which is an evident sign, that Satan doth so effectually work in them & bewitch their minds, that not only <b>every one feigns unto himself new heresies</b> and opinions, but also that he places the foundation of his belief & rule of faith in himself, & in his own inward sense and judgment: for <b>everyone thinks himself to be taught by our Lord</b> and endued with the Magistery of the spirit, albeit they be women & young girls, & therefore to be free from error, and <b>all the holy Fathers</b> to have been <b>men subject to error.</b> The same they judge of their Apostles and ministers. But what greater bewitching or deceiving of people can there be, than this? hence it comes to pass that they have <b>no certain and established opinions</b> among them, neither can they set down or frame any body of doctrine and religion, but <b>they must</b> <b>wander up and down in uncertainties</b>, as the private spirit leads them; neither can there any disputation be made with them concerning their opinions, seeing that they do not defend any one opinion, they being by reason of the ignorance of their predecessors<b> altogether unlearned</b>. But of this spirit of <b>folly & madness</b> we have written more at large in our Consultation in the 9. Consideration, & the 11. Reason.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">By these it is manifestly concluded that all the ground and foundation of faith whereupon the sects of our times rely, is false and uncertain, and therefore their faith which relies thereon is unprofitable, and <b>avails nothing to salvation. </b></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Eightly, if everyone who doth acknowledge Christ may be saved in his own faith, <b>why is there so great disagreement among religions? </b>Why do they excommunicate and condemn another of heresy? Why do Lutherans refuse to acknowledge the Calvinists for their brethren: and in their public sermons and books do call them wicked & blasphemous persons? Why do the chief of the Calvinists, among whom Theodore Beza, the Father of them all, & as it were their pope next after Calvin, handle the Lutherans like manner? why do the Anabaptists call those only of their own sect, to be the faithful, & Christians, and account all others as Infidels? Whereby it is evident, that this new opinion of doctrine is not only contrary to Catholic Religion, but to all other sects also, who have in them any zeal of piety & religion, & <b>to be banished as Atheism only.</b></span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Ninthly, that any man be saved it suffices not to keep only one, two, or three commandments, but it is necessary to keep all, according to those words of Christ Matth. 19. If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. As if any be an adulterer, or thief, albeit he keep the other commandments he may not be saved, as the holy Scripture often teaches. In like manner therefore it is <b>not sufficient to</b> salvation to <b>believe two, three, or four articles</b>, but it is necessary to believe all those things which God hath revealed and set down to us in his Church to be believed, for faith is no less necessary to salvation than obedience of the commandments of the law of God: neither should faith be less perfect than the obedience and keeping of the law of God. As therefore obedience must extend itself to all the commandments, so must faith extend itself to all things which are revealed; the which may be confirmed by the words of S. James in the 2. Chap. Whosoever hath keep the whole Law, but offends in one, he is made guilty of all: for he who said, thou shall not commit adultery, said also thou shall not kill: as if he should say, he is made guilty of all, and shall be punished as a breaker of the whole law, because he hath despised the law-maker, who is the author of the whole law, In like manner therefore he which shall<b> deny one article</b>, although he believe all the rest, is made guilty of violating his whole faith and Religion, because <b>he contemns God who is the first Truth</b>, who no less revealed this than the other: he contemns the Catholic Church the spouse of Christ, who is the pillar & strength of Truth, whereby he hath no less determined we should believe this than the other. And this is the reason why he is no less an heretic who with pertinacity denies one point of faith, than he which denies a hundred, because in that <b>he denies one, he contemns God, who is the first truth and did reveal it: </b>he contemns the authority of the Church, the which did propose it unto us: he <b>makes the Church subject to error</b> and a liar, whereby he is <b>made also uncertain of all the rest</b>, and looses all his divine faith: for the ground of his divine faith being taken away, his whole faith must needs perish, and consequently there remains <b>only an opinion or human faith, subject to error</b>, whereby he believes all the rest.</span></div>

<span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Tenthly and lastly, this opinion is very dangerous is the practise thereof, for <b>it makes a man that he cares not</b> what religion he hold, what he believes or not believes: <b>he doth not therefore seek after the truth</b>, and he doth as easily and with as great security lay hold on false as true things, yet all men not only Catholics but even the more principal sects, & those which are learned wisemen do absolutely affirm, that none can be saved without the true faith and religion, and whosoever are deprived thereof shall perish forever. The followers therefore of this opinion are condemned of all, and they only <b>promise unto themselves salvation without any </b>author, testimony or <b>reason</b> for it, relying and <b>trusting only in their</b> own <b>vain imagination of their foolish brain</b>: let then therefore hear out of S. Fulgentius what antiquity hath always held and what the Catholic Church hath taught in all ages. Thus therefore he writes, setting down the rules of our common faith in his book de fide ad Petrum Diaconum, Cap. 38. Believe assuredly (sayth he) and doubt nothing at all, that <b>not only all Pagans, but also</b> all Jews, Heretics and Schismatics who shall die out of the Catholic Church shall go into everlasting fire, which is prepared for the devil and his Angels. And in the 39. Cap. <b>Believe assuredly & doubt nothing</b>, that every heretic or Schismatic christened in the name of the Father, & of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, if he be not within the number of those which are of the Catholic Church, what alms soever he hath made, <b>albeit he shall shed his blood for the name of Christ, can by no means be saved</b>: for <b>neither baptism, nor large and charitable alms,</b> nor death itself suffered for Christ's sake, <b>will avail that man</b>, who doth [not] hold the unity of the Catholic Church, as long as his heretical or schismatical wickedness which leads to perdition, shall continue in him.</span></div>

They threatn'd the people with the wrath of their Gods, and denounc'd the total destruction of the Town and Kingdom; they said, <i>The God whom the</i> Europeans <i>believ'd, was not</i> Deos, <i>or</i> Deus, <i>as the</i> Portuguese <i>call'd him, but</i> Dajus, <i>that is to say, in the</i> Japonian <i>Tongue, a Lie, or Forgery.</i> They added, <i>That this God impos'd on men a heavy Toke. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">What Iustice was it to punish those who transgress'd a Law, which it was impossible to keep·</span> But where was Providence, if the Law of </i>Jesus <i>was necessary to Salvation, which suffer'd fifteen Ages to slide away, without declaring it to the most noble part of all the world? Surely a Religion, whose God was partial in the dispensation of his Favours, cou'd not posibly be true. And if the</i> European <i>Doctrine had but a shadow of truth in it,</i> China <i>cou'd never have been so long without the knowledge of it.</i> These were the principal heads of their Accusation, and <i><a name="120cedf9ea499aef_120ceb4e29db2509_Hit463"></a></i><i>Xavier</i> reports them in his Letters; but he gives not an account of what answers he return'd; and they are not made known to us by any other hand: Thus, without following two or three Historians, who make him speak according to their own Ideas, on all these Articles, I shall content my self with what the Saint himself had left in writing. The Idolaters instead of congratulating their own happiness, that they were enlighten'd by the Beams of Faith, bemoan'd the blindness of their Ancestors, and cry'd out in a lamentable tone; <i style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">What are our Fore-fathers burning in hell-fire, because they didn't adore a God, who was unknown to them, and observ'd not a Law, which never was declar'd?</i> The <i>Bonza's</i> added fuell to their Zeal, by telling them, <i>The</i> Portuguese <a name="120cedf9ea499aef_120ceb4e29db2509_page-247"></a><i>Priests were good for nothing, because they cou'd not redeem a Soul from Hell, whereas they cou'd do it at their pleasure, by their Fasts and Prayers: That eternal punishments, either prov'd the cruelty or the weakness of the Christian God: His cruelty, if he did not deliver them, when he had it in his power; his weakness, if he cou'd not execute what he desir'd.</i> Lastly, <i>That</i> Amida <i>and</i> Xaca, <i>were far more merciful, and of greater power; but that they were only pleas'd to redeem from Hell, those who, during their mortal life, had bestow'd magnificent Alms upon the</i> Bonza's </p><p> We are ignorant of all those particular answers of the Saint, as I said above: we only know from his Relation, that concerning the sorrow of the <i>Iaponians,</i> for having been bereft for so many Ages of Christian Knowledge, he had the good fortune to give them comfort, and put them in a way of more reasonable thoughts: For he shew'd them in general, That the most ancient of all Laws, is the Law of God, not that which is publish'd by the found of words, but that which is written in Hearts, by the hand of Nature; so that every one who comes into the World, brings along with him certain Precepts, which his own Instinct and Reason teach him. <i>Before</i> Japan <i>receiv'd its Laws form the Wisemen of</i> China, said <i>Xavier, it was known amongst you, that Theft and Adultery were to be avoided; and from thence it was that Thieves and Palliards sought out secret places, wherein to commit those Crimes. After they had committed them, they felt the private stings of their own Consciences, which cease not to reproach the guilty to themselves, though their wickedness be not known to others, nor even so much as prohibited by Humane Laws. Suppose an Infant bred up in Forrests amongst the Beasts, far from the society of Mankind, and remote from the civilis'd Inhabitants of Towns, yet he is not without an inward knowledge of the Rules of Civil Life; for ask him, whether it be not an evil Action to murther a man, to despoil him of his Goods, to violate his Bed, to surprise him by Force, or circumvent him by Treachery, he will answer without question, That nothing of this is to be done. Now if this be manifest in a Salvage, without the benefit of Education, how much more may it be concluded, of men well educated· and living in mutual Conversation? Then,</i> added the holy man, <i>it follows, that God has not left so many Ages destitute of Knowledge, as your</i> Bonza's <i>have pretended.</i> By this he gave them to understand, that the Law of Nature was a step, which led them insensibly to the Christian Law: And that <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">a man who liv'd morally well, shou'd never fail of arriving to the knowledge of the Faith, by ways best known to Almighty God; that is to say, before his death, God wou'd either send some Preacher to him, or illuminate his Mind by some immediate Revelation.</span> These Reasons, which the Fathers of the Church have often us'd on like occasions, gave such satisfaction to the <i>Pagans,</i> that they found no farther difficulty in that point, which had given them so much trouble.<br /></p><br />The Life of St. Francis Xavier: <a href="http://www.archive.org/details/TheLifeOfSt.FrancisXavier" target="_blank">http://www.archive.org/<wbr>details/TheLifeOfSt.<wbr>FrancisXavier </a><br /><a href="http://xavier.springnote.com/">text version</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918590924642765371.post-19608715351732015592009-02-13T13:34:00.000-08:002009-02-13T13:35:32.820-08:00St. Xavier on someone who died without being converted<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif";">St. Francis Xavier, Nov. 5, 1549: “The corsair who commanded our vessel died here at Cagoxima.<span style=""> </span>He did his work for us, on the whole, as we wished… He himself chose to die in his own superstitions; he did not even leave us the power of rewarding him by that kindness which we can after death do to other friends who die in the profession of the Christian faith, in commending their souls to God, since the poor fellow <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=aDYH62y0cR0C&pg=PA281&dq=%22by+his+own+hand+cast+his+soul+into+hell%22&ei=g-eVScG_BZT4NZDGhaUJ#PPA282,M1"><u>by his own hand cast his soul into hell</u></a><b style="">,</b> where there is no redemption.”</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918590924642765371.post-77936622728787040472009-02-08T20:34:00.000-08:002010-01-12T12:10:49.403-08:00St. Rose of S.

We are not wholly free from their influence in this country, either in politics, or in theology. We have Catholics, or men that call themselves Catholics, who, without knowing it, defend in politics, pure secularism, only another name for political atheism, and - not always the same individuals indeed - who defend in theology what, to our understanding, is a most destructive latitudinarianism. It is seldom we meet a Catholic, man or woman, priest or layman, who will permit us to say that “out of the Church no one can be saved,” without requiring us to qualify the assertion, or so to explain it as to make it meaningless to plain people who are ignorant of the subtilties, nice distinctions, and refinements of theologians.</p><p><br /></p> <p>How many of our Catholics, though holding Protestantism to be an error against Faith and antagonistic to the Church, hold that the mass of Protestants are out of the way of salvation, and can never see God in the beatific vision, unless before they die they become Catholics, united to Christ in the Church, which is His Body? If we assert the contrary, are we not met with theological distinction, logical refinements, subtle explanations and qualification, which place us altogether in the wrong? We are told and told truly, that all validly baptized infants, by whomsoever baptized, dying in infancy or before arriving at the use of reason, are saved, enter the kingdom of heaven; next, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">we are told, not so truly, that all persons remaining in false or heretical sects, not knowing that they are false or heretical and invincibly ignorant of the True Church, may be saved; and finally, that those who are prevented from seeking for and accepting the True Church by the bitter prejudices against her, instilled into their minds by parents and teachers, are to be reputed invincibly ignorant.</span></p> <p>The Church teaches, as we have learned her doctrine, that the infant validly baptized, by whomsoever the baptism is administered, receives in the sacrament the infused habit of faith and sanctity, and that his habit (<span style="font-style: italic;">habitus</span>) suffices for salvation till the child comes to the use of reason; hence all baptized infants dying in infancy are saved. But when arrived at the use of reason, the child need something beyond this infused habit, and is bound to elicit the act of faith. The habit is not actual faith, and is only a supernatural facility, infused by grace, of eliciting the actual virtue of faith. The habit of sanctity is lost by mortal sin, but the habit of faith, we are told, can be lost only by a positive act of infidelity. This is not strictly true; for the habit may be lost by omission to elicit the act of faith, which neither is nor can be elicited out of the Catholic Church; for out of her the credible object, which is <span style="font-style: italic;">Deus revelans et ecclesia proponens</span>, is wanting. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">Consequently, outside of the Church there can be no salvation for any one, even though baptized, who has come to the use of reason, The habit given in baptism, then, ceases to suffice, and the obligation to elicit the act begins.</span></p><p><br /></p> <p>We may be told that it may not be through one’s own fault that he omits to elicit the act, especially when born and brought up in a community hostile or alien to the Church. Who denies it? But from that it does not follow either that the habit is not lost by the omission, or that the elicitation of the act is not necessary, in the case of every adult, to salvation.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"> Invincible ignorance excuses from sin, we admit, in that hereof one is invincibly ignorant, but it confers no virtue, and is purely negative. It excuses from sin, if you will, the omission, to elicit the act, but it cannot supply the defect caused by the omission.</span> Something more than to be excused from the sin of infidelity is necessary to salvation.</p><p><br /></p> <p>To us there is something shocking in the supposition that the dogma, <em>Extra ecclesiam nulla salus</em> , is only <span style="font-style: italic;">generally</span> true and therefore not a Catholic dogma. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">All Catholic dogmas, if Catholic, are not only generally, but universally true, and admit no exception or restriction whatever. </span>If men can come to Christ and be saved without the Church or union with Christ in the Church, she is not Catholic, and it is false to call her the only holy Catholic Church, as in the creed. The latitudinarianism which explains away the dogma of exclusive salvation, and which is so widely prevalent, is a denial, in principle, of the Catholicity of the Church, and of the Faith she holds and teaches, and seems to us to grow out of forgetfulness of the relation of the Church to the Incarnation, her office in the economy of salvation, the teleological character of the Christian order, the religion of the end, and the disposition of the modern world to mistake liberality of charity. The Church grows, so to speak, out of the Incarnation, of which she is, as Moehler well says in his <span style="font-style: italic;">Symbolik</span>, in some sort, the visible continuation on earth, and from which she is inseparable. Saint Paul calls the Church “the body of Christ.” She lives in Christ, and He in her; His life is her life, and individuals are joined to Him and live His life by being joined to her and living His life in her. To be separated from her is to be separated from Him, is to be separated from the incarnate Word Himself, the one Mediator of God and men and from our end, as well as the medium of its attainment.</p><p><br /></p> <p>One thing is certain, namely, that no one can be saved, enter into the kingdom of God, or attain to beatitude, without being regenerated or born again of the incarnate Word, or if not united to regenerated humanity in Christ. One can no more be a Christian without being born of Christ, begotten anew by the Holy Ghost in Christ Jesus, than one can be a man without being born of Adam by way of natural generation. Without the Incarnation or union with it, there is never any salvation, for without it there is no regenerated humanity, no teleological order, no fulfillment of man’s existence. But the Church grows out of the Incarnation, and is inseparable from it. Under one aspect, she is herself regenerated humanity, or the human race propagated by the election of grace, as humanity in the initial order is propagated or explicated by natural generation. Without being united to regenerated humanity, men remain forever in the initial order below their destiny, inchoate existences, with their nature unfilled, devoured alike by an everlasting want which cannot be supplied, and an <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">everlasting selfreproach for having by their own fault neglected the means of salvation once within their reach. </span>Hence the never-ending sufferings of those who die unregenerate. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">Even infants dying unbaptized, that is, in the initial order, unregenerate, the holy Council of Florence defines, go to hell -</span><span style="font-style: italic; background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"> in infernos</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">; though they will not suffer for any actual sins of commission or omission, of which they were incapable. Some tender-hearted theologians think they will not suffer at all, but no rational creature can remain forever below his destiny, with the purpose of his being unfilled, without experiencing a want, and therefore not without a greater or less degree of suffering.</span></p><p><br /></p> <p>Under one aspect, the Church consists of the regenerated race, as we have said of all who have by the election of grace been born again, begotten anew by the Holy Ghost in Christ Jesus. Out of the Church, in this sense, no one can pretend that there is any salvation. But the Church, under another aspect, is the body of Christ, and is the medium through which the Incarnation reaches and practically instructs, regenerates, elevates, sustains, guides and directs the soul in the palingenesiac order, or in reference to the end for which man is created and exists. In a word, the Church is the medium by which the soul is elevated above the natural order, introduced into the teleological order, united to Christ, and therefore to God, its final cause. Without the Church, in this sense, the Incarnation, it seems to us, would be to the soul, to mankind, as if it were not. There would be no dialectic reason for it in the Creator’s plan. Indeed, in all Protestant sects, the Incarnation is either denied outright, or serves no purpose. The Word could not have died to redeem us, or to make satisfaction for us, if He had not assumed human nature to be as really and as truly His nature as is the divine nature itself; for God could not die in His divine nature, since in the divine nature He is immortal. He could die only in His human nature, hypostatically united to the divine person of the Word. But even as incarnate, He could make satisfaction <span style="font-style: italic;">for us</span> only as our head, and therefore, in <span style="font-style: italic;">actu</span>, only for those who are actually His members, or who become so by regeneration. He is potentially the head of every man, and therefore is said to have died for all men, but He is actually the head only of those who are joined to Him as His members. The atonement is sufficient for all, but to receive its benefits, it must be applied and it is applied, only to those who are born of Him; for they only participate in it through their Head as members. Those who are separated from Him do not suffer in His sufferings, or satisfy in His satisfaction; for they are not members of which He is the Head, and His merits neither are nor can be theirs while they are separated from Him, or until they are joined to Him by the new birth, and made one with Him. They have no connection with Him as their head; He is not their progenitor - has not begotten them; and they are simply natural men, children of Adam, in the order of generation, initial or inchoate existences, infinitely below the plane of their destiny.</p><p><br /></p> <p>If, as every Catholic must hold, or deny all office or significance to the Church in the economy of salvation, the Church is the medium by which men come to Christ, and by the Holy Ghost, Who dwells and operates in her, are united to Christ as their Head, and participate, through the Union of the Head and the members, in His sufferings, His work of atonement and His merits as living members participate in whatever is suffered or done by their living head, how then can we conceive the possibility of salvation out of the Church? To admit it would deny her catholicity: would, it seems to us, deny the living connection of the Church with the Incarnation, and in fact the Incarnation itself, and the whole teleological or palingenesiac order which it founds, or the God-Man creates. We do not pretend that the doctrines of the Church are demonstrable by natural reason from principles evident by the light of nature, for they are known only by divine or supernatural revelation, and are held only by faith; but we do contend that the Creator’s works are strictly dialectic; that His plan or design in creation and redemption, though known only as revealed, is logically coherent in all its parts, and that the several parts are mutually related as parts of one complete and uniform whole. <span style="background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">To admit salvation to be possible to any not joined to Christ in His body, the Church, breaks, as it seems to us, the logic or dialectic consistency of the divine plan or design as revealed to us in the written and unwritten word of God and reduces Catholicity to the level of the sects, all of which are founded on compromise, and are incoherent, made up of heterogeneous elements, like the feet of the image in Nabuchodonosor’s dream.</span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);"> Hence the theologians, who by their explanations open wide the door of salvation, labor with all their might to prove that those who apparently die outside of the Church, and whose salvation, they tell us, is not to be despaired of, do not really die out of her communion, but, in fact, in it and as Catholics. That is, men may be in the communion of the church while apparently out of it, and adhering to sects hostile to it, being excused through invincible ignorance.</span></p><p><br /></p> <p>Yet, if there is any truth in what we have said of the teleological character of the Christian order, and that it is and can be entered only by the new birth, or “new creation,” as Saint Paul calls it, this invincible ignorance, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">even if really invincible, which it rarely is, though it excuses from the sin of heresy or infidelity, does not of itself leave the soul in a salvable state, for it confers no positive virtue</span>, elevates not the soul to the teleological or supernatural order, nor places it on the plane of its destiny. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">Else, why are not unbaptized infants dying in infancy saved? Why can they never see God in the beatific vision?</span> They are incapable of actual sin, and are assuredly invincibly ignorant. The reason is that the teleological or supernatural order, though it presupposes the initial or natural order, is not developed or evolved from it. We are not placed by our birth from Adam on the plane of our beatitude, but to reach it must be born again, crated anew in Christ Jesus; a new and a higher life must be begotten in us, the life which flows out from the Incarnation, a life of which the Word made flesh is the author and fountain. Salvation, or what is the same thing, heaven, beatitude, is not reached by any possible natural progress for it does not lie in the plane of nature, or the natural order, that is, the order of generation, as the rationalists pretend. They recognize no teleological order, no end or final cause of man’s existence, and their heaven is no higher than the Christian’s hell.</p><p><br /></p> <p>Now it is clear that one may be excused from the sin of infidelity, or the guilt of heresy, and yet not be in the way of salvation, for he may lack the positive supernatural virtues which place him on the plane of his supernatural end or beatitude, and which can neither be acquired nor lived without Faith. What we wish to impress upon the mind of the reader is, that the simple negation of sin does not suffice for heaven. We do not say that, if man had not sinned, God would have become incarnate, but we do say that man cannot attain to his end without being not only discharged from guilt, but reconstituted in the supernatural justice in which Adam was originally constituted. The two, the discharge from guilt and the restoration to justice, are, <span style="font-style: italic;">in hac providentia</span>, coincident and inseparable, if we speak of original sin, and the one is never without the other; yet are they distinguishable, and the former does not suffice for glorification in heaven. For that, the adult must be raised to and live a supernatural life.</p><p><br /></p> <p><span style="background-color: rgb(204, 255, 204);">In the case of poorly instructed or misinstructed Catholics, yet really in the visible communion of the Church, who involuntarily err even in regard to very important matters, but are docile and willing to be set right, we not only regard them as inculpable, but as in the way of salvation; for they have or may have the positive supernatural virtues required. The seed is in them.</span> <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">But we are unable to extend the same rule to persons in communions, or sects rather, notoriously separated from the Church and under anathema. To them the principle of invincible ignorance, it seems to us, does not apply, any more than it does to open and avowed infidels, pantheists, or atheists.</span> These have not the seed in them, and if they die as they are, must go in <span style="font-style: italic;">infernos</span>, however invincibly ignorant. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">If they received the seed in baptism, it has been lost, as we have seen, by their omission, or even inability to elicit the act of faith, on coming to the use of reason.</span> The seed is choked and prevented from germinating, or the fowls of the air - evil spirits - gather it up as soon as sown. <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);">The invincibly ignorant may not be doomed to so severe a punishment as the vincibly ignorant, but ignorance itself is always either a sin or the penalty of sin, and is, <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 204);">as Saint Augustine says, “just cause of damnation.”</span></span></p><p><br /></p> <p>With regard to the several Protestant sects in whose good faith we know them too well to believe, we do not judge individuals, for judgment has not been committed to us; and we dare not say when a Protestant dies that he is assuredly lost, for we know not what passed between God and his soul at the last moment when the breath left the body; but this we do dare say, that,<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 204, 255);"> if one dies a Protestant, and the presumption, if he remains an adhering Protestant up to the last moment, is that he does so die, he is most assuredly damned</span>, that is, forever deprived of heaven and will never see God as He is. Protestantism is an open and avowed revolt against the church of God, a total rejection, in principle, of Christ and His authority, therefore of Christianity itself and Protestants exhibit in their lives no virtues of a supernatural order, or that strength. If, in infancy, they have been elevated above the natural order, they have fallen back to its level, and not seldom below it. If they can be saved in their heresy, or apostasy, the divine plan, as we have learned it, is false and delusive.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918590924642765371.post-13448878885371467922008-12-26T07:34:00.000-08:002009-07-13T21:26:07.052-07:00Muslims go to hell.<a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=J0sQAAAAIAAJ&dq=francis%20xavier&pg=RA4-PA452&ci=147,881,780,347&source=bookclip">The Life of St. Francis Xavier Apostle of the Indies and Japan By Daniello Bartoli, J.
