ali philosophy, indeed 70 all knowledge is IN. follow
| ing: "The Being God creates existence From
the analysis Of hunan cosnitions il appears that the
mrd poss gees three mental faculties, and tina. there
are three clssses Of objective realities which core-
.popd TO those faculties. Sensibity which dscerns
things sensible; internal and external that IT, quail
ties ard their effects; intelligence reason, which
discerns things Ineligible, that ss, Being cslses
| and ther innumerable relations; and Superinteih-
gence which discens essencess. g., things hidden TO
| human coenizance. This latter faculty indicating an
order OF things which not simply and ra.ionsly-
| l. e., naturally cognizable-nay be called super
natural BY the aid Of this faculty sees The Be
| ing and the Creative Act.
4 In the ideal formula we have ontoogicaly three
realities and psychoogicsly three exceptions e.
subst. .nce and first cause. Tne Bsing-an organic
multiplicity Of substances, or second csuses-Exlst-
ences and free act Of the first and csnsing substance
| Creation. Thus The Being is oD;ological primal

primarily O., the primary idea and the primary
thing philosophical prmsly-or the absolute prin-
ciple Of all knowledge. The Being Of Gioberti i''
therefore Reai Being not Possible or Ideal Being
| Ike ROsIninis.
To the principle of creation is added coTe'atve
| principe-a principle Of complement, OF perfection
in virtue of which exsences revert TO the Being from
whom they originated. The principle Of creation re-
fer to the Being the prucple Of perfection 70 exist
erces and in consequence Of the deterioration of the
cresure lowing to the apple eaten by Father Adam,
h latter principle is transformed into principle OF
redemption. Thus We have the absolute piim.llty-
the Being at the he id Of the formnla the other de-
rvative principles form series of relative pri nalties.
Scientific prmalty, historical piimsliiy, civil PM
msty, and 60 on.
The progress or regress of the human mind is shown
by the nsinainsnce of the ideal formula in its integ
ry or by It's deterioration. If the formula be main
,ained in It's integrity, We have the predominance oi
reesop-perfect Mopotheism, Judaism, and Chrlstan-
ity Regress commences when the formula becomes
deterorsted-thus exisences emanste from the Being,
then we have the predomnsnce of fantasy Emanatism
Regress is complete when the formula runs thus:
Eyistencies are The Being, divided and multiplied,
then we have the predominance of sensibil'y-
Atomism, Poytheism and Atheism.
And when the formula is translated thus: " Exist
ences are the Being, one and indivsibe, progress
L" is imperfect, is derived from human power alone,
we have the predomnance oisbstrsction -Pantheism.
But here serious difficulty srses-so serious that
il places an irsurmountsbe baner between Giobefti
and his goal. If man be endowed with supenntei.
gence if he behold God and ell his acts of creation
face To face il follows that there is no need OF an IN
terme dunn between man and God, of what use then
is the jurisdiction of the Catholic Church Gently,
erie. Giobert i said that from the Absolute Primal
ity from the Being, proceeds series of relative pm
malities, and among those the reflective Prral!ty
oug TO b. taken into signal consideration The fac-
ulty Of superinteligence, l. e., the intuition OF God
and of the ac. Of creation is insufficient without the
the reflective primalty which is The intuition Of ntu-
ton. The reflective prmsty, the fret link in the
chain Of reflection is language, and language is not
natural product Of man, but immediate revelation
from God. e., from the Being the philosophical or
absolute prmaliy Therefore, in order TO know God
and the act Of creation by intuition revelation, or the
reflective primaity, is necessary. There are two
species OF reflective primaties: the spoken or trsdi-
tional; the written or Biblical. Genesis aud the
Gospel form the Biblical primality, and respond in
ther duality 10 the principles Of Creation and Re'
demption: Judaism and Christianity which respond
to the two revealed cycles Of the Biblical priHaaity
Genesis and the Gospel form the traditional primaty,
and this traditional prmsy, guardian and expounder
fthe Biblical primarily, presupposes heratic primal
ity, e.. -acerdosl paon safeguard Of the one and
the other; and this primalty is the Catholic Church
or the Pope, in whom exists the harmonzed basis OF
all scence--outsde Of whom all rigorous encyclope-
dical science impossible. But whist Is the revealed
language That spoken before the confusion OF
tongues. After tha. period the revealed language
was preserved by the Jews in their synagognes then
in the Catholic Church by the Popes. The Pope,
therefore, is the reflective prinalty par ercellenoe
proceeding from the absolute Prmslity which God
the Being. The Being creates e1istences-The Pope
creates civilization, the Pope being materially in
Italy; Italy exists spiritually in the Pope the Pope
berg the organizing basis OF all science and rigorous
encyclopedia science being impossible outside OF the
Pope-ltay is the organ OF sovereign reason, the
guardian OF s other nations OF all languages because
in Italy resides the head that directs the that
moves the tongue tina, teaches the heart that AMI
mates Christianity. And Rome being more deal than
Italy Italy than Europe, Europe than the East, and
the East than the world each of these be-
comes the ideal container OF the altar, . the soul OF
