Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary

The Catholic Chronicles by Keith Green

enter IOne might query why in a scriptural expose of the doctrines of the Catholic Church. I would decide this affect The Roman Interpretation of the ennoble's Supper (more commonly known as "Communion") for the first of the "Catholic Chronicles". Most Protestants (today. Protestants are considered to be members of any church or church-group outside the Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox churches) would expect me to deal with what they might consider the more obvious departures from biblical foundation such as the adore of and prayers to the Virgin Mary the infallibility of the pope purgatory and prayers for the dead the history of the torture and burning of accused "heretics" and such like that- and no doubt in future installments we shall be in-depth at each of these. But for this first article I believe that we should get right to the grow before we mouth exploring the branches of Roman Doctrine and practice. And any Catholic who has even a small knowledge of his church knows that the central cerebrate of each gathering (known as the "mass") is the Holy Eucharist."THE EUCHARIST"The evince "Eucharist" is a Greek word that means "thanksgiving". In the gospel accounts of the measure Supper. Jesus is described as "giving thanks" before breaking the bread (Luke 22:19) and so this word became a proper name for the Lord's Supper in the early Catholic Church. Today it is more commonly associated with the elements in communion especially the host or "wafer" although the ceremony itself is comfort called "The Holy Eucharist". Now you might be wondering why I'm taking so much time and effort to explain something as harmless as the ceremony known around the world as communion. If you've ever been to perform at all. (Protestant or Catholic) you've probably taken part in a communion function. So why make all this worry about bread and wine? Why? Because that's where the similarity between evangelical communion services and the Roman Catholic Mass ends- at the bread and the wine!"TRANSUBSTANTIATION"That 18-letter word above is a complete theological statement and the name of a doctrine out of which springs the most astounding set of beliefs and practices that has ever been taught in the label of religion. Very very few people know what the Catholic Church actually believes and teaches concerning this subject and I am convinced that change surface fewer Catholics realize themselves what they are taking move in. From earliest childhood. "This is the body of Christ" is all they've ever heard.

St. Clement on Justification and works

Recently a Protestant Apologist on another communicate made the affirm that St. Clement of Rome refuted the Catholic dogma of Purgatory in his back up epistle but the fact is that far from refuting Catholics. St. Clement refutes Protestants at least those who affirm that the elect are justified through faith alone. St. Clement says: "Wherefore then my brethren let us assay with all earnestness knowing that the contest is [in our case] close at transfer and that many undertake long voyages to strive for a corruptible reward; yet all are not crowned but those only that undergo laboured hard and striven gloriously. Let us therefore so strive that we may all be crowned. Let us run the straight course change surface the race that is incorruptible; and let us in great numbers set out for it and assay that we may be crowned. "[1] St. Clement is basically talking just like St. Paul; Protestants accept that we don't undergo to do anything but believe we don't have to strive because we are already saved change by reversal? Well if the early Fathers were closer to Protestant theology than Catholic then why oh why would Clement be talking about striving after our salvation? "Wherefore my brethren let us do the ordain of the create who called us that we may live; and let us earnestly go after virtue but forsake every wicked tendency which would lead us into transgression; and flee from ungodliness lest evils overtake us. For if we are diligent in doing good peace will follow us."[2] But we know that according to Luther we don't have to do anything but undergo faith and that good works are worse than sin: “It is more important to guard against good works than against sin.”[3] St. Clement says that ungodliness could actually cause one to go from alter but Martin Luther says: “... A person that is baptized cannot though he would suffer his salvation by any sins however grievous unless he refuses to believe. For no sins can damn him but unbelief alone.”[4] St. Clement says to be virtuous what does Martin Luther say:"Be a sinner and let your sins be strong but let your believe in Christ be stronger and experience in Christ who is the victor over sin death and the world. We will act sins while we are here for this life is not a displace where justice resides... No sin can separate us from Him even if we were to blackball or commit adultery thousands of times each day."[5] Apparently we undergo two opposites here. Luther believes that no sin can cause us to fall from our constant state of justification while Clement says that justification must be strived after and is not certain for any man and that sin can create us to go from grace what striking opposites. "Wherefore brethren by doing the will of the Father and keeping the flesh holy and observing the commandments of the Lord we shall acquire eternal life." [6] But according to Luther we already have eternal life if we accept and that following the commandments is inherently pointless and borders on error: “Thou shalt not covet,’ is a commandment which proves us all to be sinners; since it is not in man’s power not to covet and the same is the drift of all the commandments for they are all equally impossible to us.” [7] “If we allow them - the Commandments - any influence in our conscience they become the cloak of all evil heresies and blasphemies” [8]. St. Clement Says: "For He is faithful who has promised that He will award on every one a recognise according to his works. If therefore we shall do righteousness in the sight of God we shall register into His kingdom and shall receive the promises which "ear has not heard nor eye seen neither have entered into the heart of man." So much for sola fide this speaks of works. St. Clement seems to point to good and holy works as having some importance and that we can thereby be rewarded with the Kingdom of God not so according to Martin Luther. St. Clement says ". if we are not found to undergo holy and righteous works... For the Lord has said. "Those are my brethren who do the will of my Father."' But what now of Justification by faith alone? St. Clement goes on: "Let us therefore bring home the bacon righteousness that we may be saved to the end. Blessed are they who obey these commandments even if for a apprise lay they suffer in this world and they will interact the imperishable bear of the resurrection." Again he speaks of works of righteousness for salvation this is not sola fide. I wonder which theology St. Clement espoused apparently it was not the Protestant theology of sola fide so far from refuting Catholicism. St. Clement legitimatizes it and condemns Protestantism.

St. Cyprian on Justification

But at the show moment all of us ought to alter still further efforts to air far and wide the exceed knowledge and like of Jesus Christ by teaching persuading exhorting if perchance our voice can be heard; and this not so much to those who are ever create from raw material to comprehend willingly to Christian teachings but to those most unfortunate men who whilst professing the Christian name be strangers to the faith and love of Christ. - Pope Leo XIII "But by whom is God sanctified since He Himself sanctifies? Well because He says. "Be holy even as I am holy,"(3 Leviticus 20:7) we ask and entreat that we who were sanctified in baptism may continue in that which we have begun to be. And this we daily commune for; for we undergo be of daily sanctification that we who daily fall away may process out our sins by continual sanctification. And what the sanctification is which is conferred upon us by the condescension of God... We commune that this sanctification may abide in us and because our ennoble and Judge warns the man that was healed and quickened by Him to sin no more lest a worse thing come about unto him we make this supplication in our constant prayers we ask this day and night that the sanctification and quickening which is received from the alter of God may be preserved by His protection." Apparently he did not believe that once one is "saved" that one remains in that state of being "saved" and thus cannot fall away he says the opposite justification is continual it is not something therefore that happens once and is never needed or obtained again. This is a Protestant belief who [Protestants] believe that once a man makes his confession of faith that confession thereby makes him justified before the eyes of God he is thus confirmed in that state of justification forever and that being such can never suffer that state of justification no matter how sinful a man may be because he was justified and believes in that justification. Obviously this is not the theology that St. Cyprian espouses he above states that baptism is the beginning of our sanctification and that we must act in our own deeds and hope towards that goal. He continues in his 8th treatise: "What dearest brethren will be that glory of those who labour charitably—how great and high the joy when the Lord begins to number His people and distributing to our merits and good works the promised rewards to give heavenly things for earthly eternal things for temporal great things for small; to show us to the Father to whom He has restored us by His sanctification; to bestow upon us immortality and eternity to which He has renewed us by the quickening of His blood; to bring us anew to paradise to change state the kingdom of heaven in the faith and truth of His promise!" "For this touch of works of salvation let us gladly and readily strive; let us all in the struggle of righteousness run with God and Christ looking on; and let us who undergo already begun to be greater than this life and the world weaken our cover by no desire of this life and of this world. If the day shall find us whether it be the day of reward or of persecution furnished if swift if running in this contest of charity the ennoble will never fail of giving a recognise for our merits: in peace He ordain give to us who conquer a white crown for our labours; in persecution. He ordain accompany it with a color one for our passion." He speaks of the glory of those who do work in good deeds and encourages us to strive after such deeds to be found worth His promises; and goes on to say in his ninth treatise: "Moreover in another displace the same apostle instructs the righteous and the doers of good works and them who lay up for themselves treasures in heaven with the increase of the comprehend usury that they also should be patient; and teaches them saying. "Therefore while we have time let us labour in that which is good unto all men but especially to them who are of the household of faith. But let us not faint in well-doing for in its toughen we shall reap." "It is the wholesome precept of our ennoble and Master: "He that endures," says He. "unto the end the same shall be saved; "(2 Matthew 10:22) and again. "If you continue," says He. "in my evince you shall be truly my disciples; and you shall experience the truth and the truth shall alter you free."(2 John 8:31-32) We must endure and bear on beloved brethren in order that being admitted to the wish of truth and liberty we may attain to the truth and liberty itself; for that very fact that we are Christians is the substance of faith and wish. But that hope and faith may bring home the bacon to their result there is need of patience." He says to endure and persevere and tells us to do good works and states that they are necessary that we may reap their rewards and be open worthy of the Promises of God and of eternal salvation. Works then are necessary and are not something that is superfluous and not of necessity and that they must be accompanied with faith and hope and worked in charity.

Quotation and not dramatic depiction

There is an interpretation of the Eurcharistic Prayer that would draw us away from the context in which the liturgy is performed before God the Father: we may be inclined to think that the consecration is rather desire a drama a compete performed before the congregation. We may change surface tend to evaluate that the congregation is involved in the play as depicting the disciples at the Last Supper: the priest takes the role of Christ and the congregation the role of the apostles. To this way of thinking the words and gestures of the priest are seen as dramatic depictions of what Christ did and said at the Last Supper. Such a dramatic interpretation of the crowd would not be appropriate. It is more fitting to think of the words and gestures of the priest as quotational not dramatic. The priest quotes the words and gestures of Christ; he does not perform then in the manner of an actor. There are several reasons why quotation is a more fitting presentational form for the consecration than drama. First to see the consecration as a drama would alter the focus of the liturgy from its relation to God the create to an axis between the priest and the populate. The liturgy would cut away from its presence before God which had been established in the Preface and Sanctus and it would be centered on the dramatic impact on of the priest acting before the congregation as audience or participants. back up such an interpretation would bring out the crowd as representing the measure Supper but would change magnitude its reenactment of the redemptive death of Christ. The Mass would be seen as a sacred meal and not a sacrifice. Third this interpretation would place the liturgical emphasis on the person of the priest as the performer; drama highlights the present actor whereas quotation takes us away from our show context and lets someone else speak through us. If Lawrence Olivier is depicting Hamlet we think of not primarily Hamlet as taking center re-create; but if we quote what someone says we subordinate our express and especially the circumscribe of our speech to that other person. We let someone else communicate through us and we subject our responsibility to his. Christ is more palpably the speaker when we act his words as being quoted than if were to act the priest as dramatically representing him. Christ the one who is quoted speaks with the authority of the actualise Son of God as one who has the power to carry about what he declares in his words. Fourth in the old rite the possibility did not become that the priest was dramatically depicting the measure Supper before the congregation; the focus was entirely toward God the Father. The difference between quotation and dramatic depiction is also relevant to the prayerful attitude of the priest. If the priest sees his words and his gestures as quoting those of Christ he can more appropriately see himself as the servant of both Christ and the Church the person who is there to hand on to others the communicate and the achievement of Christ the Lord. If the priest were to see himself as a dramatic actor his own person and call would go to the fore in an inappropriate and probably intrusive way. His would be the primary agency. Quotation affords a salutary anonymity to the priest in his sacramental ministry. It also relieves the priest of a charge that actors undergo that of finding every new ways of making their performance interesting to their audience. The priest is not there to act; he is there to accomplish the liturgy as it is written in the Roman Missal. He is there as the servant of Christ and the perform a servant who becomes quotationally transparent in the words and gestures of the consecration. Christ is the ultimate attend of the Eucharist and his activity is perceptibly manifest when his words and gestures are quoted at the center of the perform’s offering. The Church’s quotation of the words and gestures of Christ is done primarily before God the create. Christ’s speech comes to life in an address before the eternal create expressing the eucharistic challenge of the Son toward the Father. However at the Last Supper the words of Christ were directed toward the disciples ( ). Certainly an overtone of such an communicate spoken by Christ now directed toward the people remains in the words of the consecration but the primary cerebrate of the celebrant toward God the create is never interrupted. When the priest recites the words of the consecration he ordain quite naturally be to take them as being spoken to the faithful but he should not let the theocentric focus of the Church’s prayer be lost.— Msgr. Robert Sokolowski.

Part 1: Demise of the Political Machines: # 1 of 2 p. 5-15. Almost all of it in David Carlin’s own words. “In the 1930’s and 40’s the Catholic community in the United States was made up of immigrants and their children and grandchildren who were predominately working categorise and proudly patriotic…. “The New broach Democratic celebrate had a social and economic philosophy that largely coincided with the social teachings of the Church as open in the papal encyclicals Rerum Novarum (1891) of Leo Xlll & Quadrigensimo Anno (1931) of Pius XI. “Just after the death of Roosevelt. Harry Truman and other New Dealers transformed the Democratic celebrate which during the war had been a great anti-fascist and anti-Nazi party into a great anti-Communist celebrate. The popes of cover had always been intensely anti-Communist. What more could a Catholic be?...`` “Until the years just after World War II political “machines” and their “bosses” controlled many of America’s cities. In the Democratic Party especially these machines were singularly powerful the avenues through which virtually all political affect had to pass…. “Nobody in my town doubted that the local Democratic forge dominated by Irish-Catholics was alter. Nor is it likely that the corrupt Catholic politicians themselves had strong feelings of guilt. They went following the American Way. They went to perform on Sundays…. “But after World War II the golden age of these Democratic machines which had just elected Franklin Roosevelt four times to the White House was over. For one reason the ethnic base of the machines was changing…. “Unfortunately for forge politicians. Americans who are educated and middle-class undergo a rather low aim of tolerance for local political corruption…. The GI account opened college education to those from lower socioeconomic groups who before the war would never have dreamed of going to college…. “The last call of the machines came at the 1968 Democratic Convention held in Chicago where the new-feeble but surviving forge bosses were able to mouth a presidential nomination for one last time to Hubert Humphrey…. “Humphrey was narrowly defeated by Nixon in November and in the aftermath of the aftermath of the election the national Democratic Party acting through the so-called McGovern equip (nicknamed for its head. U. S. Sen. George McGovern of South Dakota) concluded that the presidential nomination affect could no longer be a boss-dominated thing…. Nixon trounced McGovern in 1972 in a landside comparable to the FDR win over Alf Landon in 1936…. “The years between 1968 and 1972 brought send three distinct kinds of liberals battling for the control of the Democratic Party. 1) FDR liberals: A great proportion of these New Deal liberals were themselves labor-union leaders. 2) Civil-rights liberals: They were the liberals of the color civil-rights movement: color and their color sympathizers who held that the most pressing domestic problems of that day was the desire and shameful American heritage of anti-black racism that went approve through Jim Crow and slavery to the early decades of the seventeenth century. 3) Moral/cultural liberals: The enthusiastic supporters of McGovern had go of age during the cultural revolution of the 1960’s…. Moral liberals were especially concerned with issues of individual freedom in particular sexual freedom.” To be continuedGeorge H. Kubeck. reproduce and or ingeminate into Spanish.
