CHRISTMAS, I914. Belgium then was occupied by the German armies. Cardinal Mercier, the ultrapatriotic primate of Belgium and archbishop of Malines, was in many respects the champion of the intellectual resistance of his country against the occupying power. To comfort his flock and to encourage his fellow citizens the cardinal distributed on Christmas Day, I9I4, his famous pastoral letter Patriotism and Endttrance. In it he developed some challenging ideas about the relations between patriotism and religion, and about the otherworldly effects of death on the battlefield. Who does not feel that patriotism is 'consecrated,' and that an attack on the national dignity is a sort of sacrilegious profanation r The cardinal had been asked whether the soldier who fell in the service of a just cause (and that ours clearly is) was a martyr. The Prince of the Church had to answer that, in a strict and theological sense, the soldier was not a martyr, because he died arms in hand, whereas the martyr gives himself up to his executioners without resistance.
