Despiteitssinistersound,theApostolicPenitentiary wassetuptograntabsolutionfromsomeofman's gravestsinsandtosolveseriousproblemsofconscience.

ItsnamecomesfromitsconnectionwiththeSacramentofPenance.Itis,infact,anextensionofthe Pope'spowerastheholderoftheKeyofPeterto forgivesin.

TheApostolicPenitentiaryhastheauthorityto absolveCatholicsfromtheseverestformsofexcommunication,thosewhicharespecificallyreservedto thePopeandwhichcannotbeliftedbyanyother authority.

Inmattersconnectedwithgravesins,thepenitentiary willdeterminepenancesandconditionsofabsolution. Becausethepenitentiarycangrantabsolutions,dispensationsandcommutationsinthemostseriousmatters, itranksamongtheChurch'smostimportanttribunals.

Ceylon'sRulers FallOnSchools

Thenewparliament,thefourthsinceCeylonbecame independentin1948,metforthefirsttimesinceits ElectiononMarch19.Theelectionbroughtbacktothe premiershipDudleySenanayake,leaderoftheconservativeUnitedNationalparty,afterfouryearsof rulebytheGreatCeylon(SriLanka)Freedomparty. PrimeMinisterSenanayake'simmediatepredecessor, WijayanandaDahanayake,aFreedompartyleader,had headedacaretakergovernmentsincethedeathofPrime MinisterSolomonW.R.D.BandaranaikelastSeptember.Mr.Bandaranaikewasassassinatedbya Buddhistmonk.

Mr.Senanayake'sUnitedNationalistswononlya meagreplurality.Itgainedonly50seatsinthe151seatHouseofRepresentatives,against46seatsforthe Freedomparty-whichwasformedbydisgruntled UnitedNationalpartymembersin1951.

ThethreeMarxistpartiestogetherwon23seats,and pollednearly800,000votes.Thiswasone-quarterof thetotalballotof3,129.246.TheMarxistgroupshad courtedultra-nationalisticBuddhistgroupsaswellas leftists,andhadbeenwidelyexpectedtomakeabetter showing.Atitwas,theypolledabouthalfthevoteof thetwoconservativepartiescombined.

Theelectionhadbeencomplicatedbythefactthat24 partiesenteredcandidates-somepartiesrunningin onlyasingleconstituency-andtherewere175independentsinthefield.

TheFederalparty-composedmostlyofpeopleof Indiandescent-won15seatsintheelection,independentssevenandvarioussplinterpartiesatotaloften.

The23seatsgarneredbytheMarxistsbreakdownas follows:TheCommunistpartywonthreeseats,the CeylonEquality(Trotskyite)partytenandthePeople's UnitedFrontten.

ThePeople'sUnitedFront,undertheleadershipof PhilipGunawardena,one-timeFoodandAgriculture MinisterintheBandanaraikegovernment,hadputon astrongcampaign,hittingespeciallyattheCatholic ChurchinCeylon.Mr.Gunawardena,whoformedan alliancewithaminorpartypledgedtoestablish"a Buddhisttheocracy,"soughttocapitaliseonthelongstandingcampaignthemilitantAll-CeylonBuddhist Congresshasbeenwagingforthenationalisationof CatholicschoolsreceivingStatesubsidiesinthispredominantlyBuddhistnation.

TheshakypluralityoftheUnitedNationalistswas suchthattheFreedompartyincombinationwithfive otheroppositiongroupswasabletoelectP.B.Suba:,inghe,anindependent,asSpeakeroftheHouse.

AnglicanPrelateDeniesHis ChurchWasPersecutedInSpain

Listener,Sydney:AnAnglicangirl,the daughterofaChurchofEnglandclergyman, tellsmeshecouldnotbecomeaCatholicfor atleastonereason.

R.:Shedoesnotofferwhatcouldreallybecalleda reason.Atmostitcouldbecalledanexcuse.

Onecan,however,wellunderstandherposition.She hasnotgoneintothematter,iscontentedasanAnglican,anddoesnotwanttobecomeaCatholic.

Youmaywanthertodoso,butshehaseverymotive forreluctancewiththeunpleasantprospectoffamily opposition.

Whenyoupressherforreasons,shehastolookround forwhatseemstobeargumentsagainsttheCatholic Churchratherthanadmithermerelackofgoodwillto somuchasconsidertheclaimsoftheCatholicChurch.

Q.:ThereasonshegaveisthatherChurchisbeing persecutedinSpain.

R.:Sheismisinformed.Whenthatchargewasmade intheBritishParliament,inApril,1949,theAnglican BishopofGibraltar,theRightRev.DouglasHorsley, wrotetocontradictit,sayingthattheSpanishauthoritieshadneverinterferedwithAnglicanworship,that AnglicanchurcheswereopenandinuseinJerez,Rio Tinto,Madrid,Bilbao,Barcelona,PalmaandMalaga; andthathehadreceivedeverycourtesyfromSpanish officialswhenonvisitationtothesechurches.

Headdedthat,whileAnglicansinSpainmadeno attempttointerferewithSpanishCatholics,other ProtestantdenominationssentrepresentativestoSpain forthesolepurposeofinducingCatholicstoabandon theirreligionandtobecomeProtestants,intheirimprudentzealattackingtheCatholicreligionandits formsofpietyanddevotion.

Catholicsnaturallyresentedthisanddisturbances resulted.ProtestantagenciesinSpain-andinother Catholiccountries-cannotbeexcusedfrombringing troubleuponthemselves.

Dr.HorsleysaidAnglicansinSpainhadneverbehavedinsuchawayandweresubjecttonodisabilities.

Q.:Shequotedanarticle"PersecutionStillGoesOn," fromtheProtestant"WorldChristianDigest,"of February,1958.

R.:Thearticledealswiththetroublesencountered byProtestantdenominationsotherthantheAnglican Church.

Boththefactsallegedandtheinterpretationofthem areverymuchopentoquestion.Thematters,however, havenothingwhatevertodowiththetruthorotherwise oftheCatholicreligion.

IftheCatholicreligionwastrueathousandyearsago, itistruetoday,andwillbetrueinathousandsyears' time,whatevermaybethebehaviourofvariousgroups ofCatholicsinvariouspartsoftheworldatvarious times.

SalvationMeansOurWills MustComplyWithGod's

H.M.,Melbourne,Vic.:TheJesuitRule14forthinkingwiththe Church,accordingto"DocumentsoftheChristianChurch,"p.363, says:"Itmustalsobeborneinmindthat,although nooneis savedbuthethatispredestinated,yetwemustspeakwithcircumspectionconcerningthismatterlest,stressingtoomuchthepredestinationofGod,weshouldseemtoshutoutfreewillandthemerit ofgoodworks;or,ontheotherhand,attributingtothesemorethan belongstothem,wederogatefromthepowerofgrace."

R.:That,surely,issound advice.

InHolyScripturewehave revealedwhatisrightly calledthemysteryofpredestination.Putinsimple terms,weknowthatnothingcanhappenunless God,theFirstandSupreme Causeofallthings,willsit inonewayoranother.

Ifitbegood,Hepositivelywillsit.Ifitbebad, Heatleastwillstopermit it;andwecallthat.notHis positivewill,butHispermissivewill.

Thosewhogattoheaven arethosewhohavecompliedwithHispositivewill onearthandhaveattained tothatgooddestinyHe positivelywillsforthem.

ButGodcannotpositivelywillmoralevilorsin.If men,grantedfreedomand responsibilitychoosetosin, Godatmostpermitsthat abuseoffreewillrather thandeprivethemofthat gift.

ItfollowsthatGodcannotpositivelypredestine anyonetohell.Ifmengo there,itistheirowndoing. Nooneneedgothere,unlesshesochooses.Indiscussingthismystery,itis aboveallthingsnecessary tokeepone'sbalance.To stresstoomuchGod':,part intheworkofoursalvation

Onetheotherhand,tolay toomuchstressonman's partcouldleadmento thinktheycansavethemselveswithoutGod'shelp, neglectinghumblereliance uponHimandferventprayer.

Q.:Calvin,too,seemed believethesamething; for,asProf.Murdoch saysIntheMelbourne "Herald,"(2/1/601:"Calvindidnotsaywewere alldamned,butonlyalmoatall,notquiteall."

R.:Calvindidnotsaythe samethingasthattaught bytheCatholicChurch. TheCatholicChurchteachesthatnooneispredestinedtohell. Calvintaughtthathuman beingsaredividedintotwo classes,thoseabsolutely predestinedbyGodto heaven,andthoseabsolutelypredestinedbysGodto hell. ForCalvin,itisalready fixedwhetheramanistobe savedorlost,andtherecan benootherresultwhether hedoesgoodorevil.The CatholicChurchcondemned thatdoctrineasstraightoutheresy.
