Words, Facts and God
A traveller from a far country has the obligation to entertain his hosts with tales of strange customs and mythical monsters, heroes and spells. The country of which I am to tell you today is a very strange one indeed. I do not know if President de Gaulle ever became acquainted with English philosophy during his stay in England, but certainly it would entirely justify his claim that England does not, today, at least, belong to Europe. Perhaps, ho…
Theological Survey
The Gospel and the Church
It has been widely acknowledged that Dr Hans Kiing's The Council and Reunion (fluently translated by Cecily Hastings in a Sheed and Ward Stagbook) is one of the most important of the vast flood of publications released by Pope John XXIII's announcement of his intention to summon an ecumenical council. Its reception has been generally favourable, even rapturous (see The Clergy Review, January 1962, p. 33); but there seems to have been a marked dis…
Christianity and Sex
It is the way our sympathy flows and recoils that really determines our lives. And here lies the vast importance of the novel, properly handled. It can inform and lead into new places the flow of our sympathetic consciousness, and it can lead our sympathy away in recoil from things gone dead. Therefore, the novel, properly handled, can reveal the most secret places of life: for it is in the passional secret places of life, above all, that the tid…
A Theological Chronicle
It is probably true to say that there is no form of intellectual life more unfamiliar to the educated English Catholic than theology. If he were asked to name some topics which he supposed were discussed by theologians he would probably refer to the proofs of the existence of God, transubstantiation, the sacraments-the first of these in the context of 'Thomism', the second of apologetics, in school and pulpit, the third in the context of 'liturgy…
A Theological Chronicle
Philosophers have measured mountains,Fathom'd the depths of seas, of states, and kings; Walk'd with a staffe to heav'n, and traced fountains: But there are two vast, spacious things,The which to measure it doth more behove;Yet few there are that sound them-Sinne and Love.(Herbert, The Agonie)I cannot remember ever having seen an article in blackfriars on sin-not sin and Mauriac or Graham Greene, or sin and homosexuality or sin and Jung: just sin.…
Truth and Verification in Theology
I must begin by saying how much I appreciate the honour of being asked to address a group of scientists on this subject; and my only hope is that what I have to say will not prove entirely irrelevant to the concerns of those who practise experimental science in one form or another, though I suspect that the kind of relevance which I shall suggest is rather a peculiar one.While the experimental sciences-what is usually meant by 'science'-have beco…
The Starting-Point of Marian Doctrine
It cannot be said that English Catholicism has entered with mind and heart into the stream of doctrinal development which is so noticeable a feature of the Marian movement in the Church today. Any attempt to dismiss this movement and the doctrinal development within it as a Continental exaggeration runs the risk of so emphasizing the Englishness of our Catholicism as to compromise its Catholicism. The needs of apologetics in England are sometimes…
The New Herder
The publication now in progress of the second edition of this standard work of reference, thoroughly revised and refashioned, is an event not only for German-speaking Catholicism but for the entire Catholic world. In its new form the Lexikon can fairly be described as the flowering of a long process of growth within the Church beginning perhaps under Pius IX, in which she began fully to accept the challenge of the modern world. If there have been…
Ethics and the Play of Intelligence
It is not usual, in this country at least, for Catholic moral philosophers and theologians to question the metaphysical status of the principles which they employ in their arguments. God and man are taken for granted, and morality is presented as a systematic description of the order which ideally obtains between them and of man's defection from that order. The importance of such a procedure is hardly to be denied: a programme, a map of life, coh…
The Relevance of Primitive Religion
It is not easy for someone who is not a professional anthropologist to read a work of social anthropology. The difficulty is of a quite special kind: it is not merely the difficulty someone who is not a botanist may find in reading a study of plant morphology, or someone who is not a theologian in reading a discussion of the instrumental causality of the sacraments. The difficulty is the problem of human relevance. These people about whom the ant…

Morals and Language
In his study of the tradition of thought in the early Middle Ages, a distinguished historian (Mr Richard Southern) remarks that it should be easier for us today than it was a hundred years ago to understand the fascination of logic for scholars of the eleventh century; for them as for us, 'Logic was an instrument of order in a chaotic world'. Mr Southern speaks as a historian and a humanist, for whom thought is more immediately apprehended as an …
