Waiting for Miracles on Cyprus
A clear-eyed look ... suggests that this really is the last chance for a reunification on federal lines, and the lack of a settlement now will have consequences
Turkey Unveiled
The Moon Unmasked' By Zakaria Tamer
Origen
It is regrettable that Dr Inge did not preface his Lecture with the following passage from Origen:'After we had come to believe that Christ was the Son of God, and had ceased to look for the truth among those who claimed that their erroneous doctrines were true, we were convinced that we had to learn that truth from Christ himself. For many think that their opinions are those of Christ and yet they differ from their predecessors. But since the te…
John Henry Newman
A Schoolboy's Reminiscences of Cardinal Newman
I am only too conscious of the impertinence of this heading: What value could such memories have? And how far are they trustworthy? Yet they are my memories, and though some sixty years have elapsed, they remain as fresh in my mind as though they had happened but yesterday. When I was just over four years old my mother took me to a dairy kept by a Mr. Godwin, who had been Newman's butler in Ireland. He put me on his knee and said: "Do you know Ja…
Principium Verborum Tuorum Veritas,’ Ps. cxviii
‘The sum of Thy Words is Truth,’ and for us who have to search for that Truth fidelity or loyalty to it when discovered. Easy in theory, difficult in practice : ‘ascetic practices,’ says St. Jerome, ‘for example continence or mortification of the flesh, are of great value; but nothing is so mortifying as knowledge of the truth ‘( On Nahum ii. i, P.L. xxv, 1244); he seems to be thinking of a man’s reactions on coming up against some wholly unexpec…
Alfred Loisy
Loisy died in 1940 and his devoted disciple, Miss Maud Petre, died in December', 1942. In the pages of this book she attempts to explain the Abba's religious standpoint by copious citations from his writings, adding her own comments, verily those of a disciple. Just over forty years have elapsed since the publication of L'Evangile et l'Eglise took the ecclesiastical world by storm and, with its sequel Autour d'un petit livre, was condemned by the…
St. Augustine on Death
Throughout the country there are people mourning their loved ones, parents, sons and daughters killed fighting or helping behind the scenes; even babes in arms, children on the high seas, sent away for safety, have met a cruel death. In the streets, once so familiar, are unsightly ruins, houses crumbling, churches, convents, public buildings, the houses of the very poorest, all overwhelmed by the common wanton destruction wrought by an unseen han…
St. Augustine on Peace and War
If good people feel disgust at a nation which-simply with a view to extending its dominion-spontaneously provokes a war with neighbouring States which are at peace with it and have done them no harm-then I can only say that I applaud their praiseworthy feelings.'-De Civitate Dei, IV, xiv.Remarkably little seems to have been written on this subject. Yet Augustine is quite justly described as the Father of the Philosophy of History,' and even if he…
A Phantom City
In 1929 the French archaeologists unearthed at Ras Shamra on the N. Phoenician coast the remains of a once famous city, Ugarit, and the story of the wonders there brought to light is familiar to many. Now there has come to light another and in some respects even more important city. Nearly opposite where the R. Khabour flows into the Euphrates (the "Chobar" of Ezechiel i.i, etc.) is a mound, Tell Hariri, where M. Parrot has been working since 193…
Professor Goudge on Reunion
On Sunday, October 23rd, Professor Goudge preached a sermon in St. Mary's, Oxford, which has attracted a good deal of attention. Pleading for Reunion, he argued that while the Church as depicted in the New Testament seemed to have a monopoly of the Holy Spirit, present-day facts showed that such monopoly no longer existed. He admits that even 'our fallen Sister' speaks at times with the authority of the Spirit, nor 'can we say for one moment that…
Grenada
On the Feast of the Assumption in the year 1498 Columbus discovered this island and called it Conception Island. But it was not till two hundred years had passed that resident missionaries, French Dominicans, were established, as we learn from Père du Tertre and the famous Père Labat, in their accounts of those early days, 1651-1657. During two intervals they were replaced by Capuchins, 1657-1663 and 1763-1784, and by a series of secular priests,…
An Uncommon Book of Prayer
Among the many treasures of St. Edmund's College, Ware, are a number of old Catholic Prayer-Books. Their preservation is mainly due to the zeal and insight of Father Raymund Stanfield. Amongst them is a copy of the famous old Manual: A Manual of Prayers and Litanies: Distributed according to the Days of the Week. With other Excellent Devotions fitted for all Persons and Occasions. Last Edition much corrected. Permissu Superiorum, 1688. It is a 12…
Some Wills of Penal Times
How did our Catholic forefathers live in penal days? Was life an unceasing nightmare? Was every other man they met a Topcliff? After the death of Elizabeth it would seem that persecution went by fits and starts. The protracted negotiations for the Spanish marriage, from 1617 to 1623, meant a decided lull in active measures against recusants, though when those negotiations were broken off there was a recrudescence of brutality. It was the same aft…
The Reply to Father Vernon
Vernon Johnson’s book, One Lord, One Faith really needed no reply. It was not a challenge, not controversial : it was itself a reply to innumerable inquirers who sought to know why he had thought it necessary to leave the Church of England and seek reconciliation with the Catholic Church. In explaining why he had so acted, he made a very simple, straight-forward and sincere statement of what had happened in his own soul. His explanation is writte…
The Wisdom of Saint Thomas
Where is Wisdom to be found, and where is the place of understanding? The abyss saith, it is not in me; the sea saith, it is not with me. God understandeth the way of it, and He knoweth the place thereof.'-Job xxviii.Those who are familiar with St. Thomas's Proemium to his Summa contra Gentiles will recall his words on the meaning of true Wisdom. 'Sapientis est ordinare,' he says, 'it is a wise man's business to deal with things in orderly fashio…
The Vatican Council
Once more Abbot Butler has put us in his debt. It was not to be wondered at that the work involved in compiling his fascinating Life of Archbishop Ullathorne should have focussed his attention on the story of the unfinished Council in which Archbishop Ullathorne took so real a part though hardly one of the great protagonists in those immortal scenes.Though the Council is famous for its definition of Papal Infallibility, curiously enough this was …
The Lambeth Report-Resolution 15
Let us introduce this subject with a quotation from the Church Times.At the Lambeth Conference of 1920, the Bishops issued 'an earnest warning-against the use of any unnatural means by which conception is frustrated.' Their Report continued : 'We are aware that many persons of undoubted sincerity, whose opinions are entitled to respect, do not share this view, considering the whole matter as chiefly a question of expediency, to be determined on m…
Dr. Gore's Bible Commentary
Including the Editors, some fifty-six writers have contributed to this bulky volume. Their object is thus stated : ‘Though the historical and archaeological importance of the books is immense, it is the spiritual use of them which is their proper use, and it is principally to this spiritual use of the Bible that we intend our Commentary to minister.’ The commentary itself is, in general, brief and to the point. But the prime feature of the work l…
Around Hawkesyard Before Emancipation
Was there ever such a benighted stretch of railway as the Birmingham, Cannock and Rugeley Line, L.M.S. P The grime, the smoke and reek, the glimpses of 'dumps and the offal of modern industrial conditions, the gloomy, forbidding-looking stations, and the dank fields in between are so depressing that we instinctively bury ourselves in a book so as not to see the spectres.Yet if we knew it, if Vre could but lift the veil of two hundred years, we mi…
A Peep Backwards
A Railway Guide of long ago makes fascinating reading, and we know many people who can drink delight from the faded pages of a back number of an aged Bradshaw; and in the same way an old-time Catholic Directory is interesting, since it serves as a mirror of times which can never return. Just now, when our thoughts are directed towards the coming centenary of Catholic Emancipation, nothing will afford us a more illuminating view of the changes wro…

The Council of Nicaea
Asent to the Decress of the Biblical Commission
For us Anglicans it is, of course, open to question whether the latest Papal exposition of the doctrine of inspiration has not imposed restrictions on exegesis which embarrass rather than assist the modern Catholic expositor.'I.Since the Reformation the Church has been told that she does not encourage people to read the Bible, that she is opposed to its translation, that she is obscurantist, traditionalist, ultra conservative, etc. Sometimes 'our…
Recent Biblical Literature
Cheap Divorce
A Great controversy must always leave its aftermath. Hence it is to be feared that recent discussions in and out of Parliament and Convocation will be found to have left in the minds of many the impression that somehow or other there is room for doubt as to what Christ really did teach on the subject of divorce. Indeed this is hardly to be wondered at when even the Archbishop of York declared that while "he personally was of opinion that marriage…
The Exploration of Carthage
Carthage should be a name to conjure with.Yet 'delenda est Carthago' has received more than literal fulfilment. Even the Punic wars of which we heard so much as schoolboys have faded from men's memories, and perhaps few of us would care to have to date them from memory.Some few weeks ago there appeared in the papers a notice to the effect that a F ranco-American archaeological expedition was being fitted out for the fuller, excavation of the grea…
