CHRISTIANITY THE SOLVENT.

"The Bankruptcy Of Christianity
has been the catchy title of more than
one article by known and unknown
writer's appearing in the large and
small religious and secular magazines
since the outbreak of the war, says
THE Rosary Magazine" 1t would al
most seem as if some of them were
written with the deliberate purpose of
using this great world catastrophe as
a means of convincing people of some
thing of which they could net convince
them in times of peace. The Euro
pean cataclysm is made to stand for
a philosophy with which it has less to
do than any war in the worlds his
aory For, aside from the purely re-
ligious wars, almost every great world
struggle struck its roots somewhere in
religion. The present conflict, in its
last analysis, is purely a commercial
one-a war for the commercial SUI
premacy of the earth. Religion has
absolutely nothing to do with it, ex-
cept in so far as the faith of the sol
diers engaged in it and the economic
changes wrought by it in society are
concerned. To talk about the bank
ruptcy of Christianity" as if Chris
tianity had anything to do with it
fundamentally is sheer nonsense and
an unjustifiable assumption of prem
ises which are not borne out by the
facts in the case.
If modern business ideals and meth
DDS had had anything in commoni with
Christian ideals and the laws of right
eousness, we might, perhaps, talk of
the failure of Christianity in this
crisis. But commerce and money-mak-
ing long ago parted company with re-
ligion. Business now is frankly world
", which is the same thing as saying
that it is pagan to the core.
But if Christianity cannot be held
responsible for this war-as the SUBJ
tie enemies of revealed religion would
have it held responsible the great
conflict has had the unexpected salu-
tary effect of awakening religious SEN
timents in men whom nothing less
than such a drastic measure could
have aroused from their spiritual tor.

PROFANITY.

Profanity is not an accomplishment,
although ignorance has so often
grinned at it that some reckless think
ers believe that they do not measure
to their full height until they have
learned how to pollute their speech.
A gentleman is never profane; for
he will not disregard the rights of
others by abusing their ears and
shocking their sensibilities.
1t is said Of General Grant that
when he was in the field one Of his
staff officers approached him to quote
volley of half-drunken and wholly
profane language used by soldier
The officer prefaced his purpose by
remarking: Are there any ladies
around?" mo" said Grant, but there
are gentlemen" Needless to say the
story was like Macbeth's amen-if
stuck in the throat of the would-be
entertainer.
Profanity has become a public nui-
sance. 1t crowds the streets. 1t never
strikes itself with the thought that the
bark of mad dog is far more musical
than the bray of an ass. 1t never
considers that it is a trespasser on
the sidewalk.
When an officer Gas sometimes hap
pens) whose purpose it should be to
see that peace is preserved SO makes
inroads through profanity on the good
order of society, a fine should be a
promise or a discharge from public
service.
When the stage volunteers to insult
its patrons by believing that they think
profanity to be, wit, the people owe it
to their own responsibility, not to say
education or decency, to let the stage
know that it IS a long cry from orig
inality to vulgarity. A driveling idol
can be profane, but true wit is the
thought of genius.
In Catholic, profanity is detestable
The tongue that touches the Holy
Eucharist should never be as an
| ear that is filled with the happy
| promise of Christ's words should not
| entertain a violation of Christs name.
The heart that is the very tabernacle
of Christ's graces should not laugh
when the devils are delighted.
The question here presents itself,
what should we do when we hear the
name of our Lord profaned? One of
| the readiest and most eloquent re-
Dukes possible is for man to quietly
and reverently take off his hat in
veneration and SO he will punish the
| defamer and make ready atonement
for the insult given our Divine Mas.

OCCASIONS OF SIN.

The following passages from a pas.
toral of the late Bishop of Newport
England, are peculiarly timely:
There are those says the Bishop,
who will not profess the creed of the
libertine, but will refuse to renounce
the Reorganization of places, the com
pany of persons and the reading of
books which are plainly and expert
mently dangerous occasions of sin.
These occasions occur under pretext.
sometimes of amusement and some
times of friendship. The following
principle may here be laid down: If a
thing is a grievous sin, we commit a
grieyous sin by exposing ourselves to
the strong temptation of committing
it. There are practically no exceptions
to this rule for the large majority of
persons. Next, thing that is a griev-
Gus sin to do, it is a grieyous sin to
desire. and even to dwell upon the
thought. And, finally, no excuse of
friendship, relationship or company
can make thing not to be sin which
would be sin under other circum-
stances.
1t is wrong to read hooks and news.

and bids us honor him as a saint
Formal heresy is committed not only
| by knowingly and wilfully rejecting a
revealed truth which is proposed for
our belief by the Church, but by viii
fully doubling about such a revealed
| truth. For such one positively
doubts whether portion of Gods rev.
citation is true and thereby injuries
Him as much as if he asserted that it
was untrue. Similarly one who would
| not submit to the Church's decision
even if she defined some doctrine to
be of faith. is formal hereto by
negative doubt, by which assent to a
revealed truth is withheld or suspend
ed Voluntary ignorance of the true
Church or of other necessary truths
of faith, are sinful, but they do not
constitute formal heresy. Great num-
bers of baptized Christians who were
born of schismatical and heretical par
ents and who do not know the true
Church, are material, not formal here
tics. When they begin to doubt about
their position and advert to the obliga-
ton they are under of making in
quiries, they sin against the faith,
more or less grievously according to
their negligence. il they remain as
they are They do not become formal
heretics until the truth fully dawns
upon them, or they are so disposed
that they would not submit to the
Church even if they knew that she
alone is the true Church of Christ.
Heresy is punished by the Church
as crime which attacks the founda.
tions and the very reason of her exist
ence. In order to incur the penalties
inflicted on heresy, the sin must be
both formal and external, for the
Church in her external forum does
not take cognizance of sins of thought.
The external act must be such as of
its own nature, or from custom, or
from the special circumstances, is held
sufficient to manifest an heretical
mind. The reception of the sacrament
in an Anglican church, or being mar
ried in a non-Catholic place of worship
by a non-Catholic minister, are con-
sidered acts of heresy and punished
as such by accommodation.
Apestasy from the faith is the grave
sin committed by one who throws the
faith overheard entirely. The apostate
not only rejects special dogmas like
the hereto but wholly abandons the
Catholic faith and becomes free
thinker, atheist, materialist Mohame-
dan, Buddhist, etc.

choose what to read, and to avoid all
that is Objectionable. But sin is sin
in spite of such difficulty. Therefore
the effort has to be made, and the self
restraint and self-denial to be prac-
ticed. Parents have most serious
duty not to allow books and newspa-
pers unfortunately in the house.
Trades-people are bound not to sell
what is really bad. Young men and
young women must be- determined to
avoid what is corrupting, and must
absolutely give up what they find by
experience has led them into sins of
thought and desire. Again, there are
in every town amusements that are
productive of evil.
1.-THE fact is-and it cannot be stated
too, plainly-that the world. does not
recognize as wrong many actions, i'm
aginations, desires and situations
which the Catholic Church teaches to
be grievously sinful. Hence it is quite
possible that in the ordinary forms of
amusements-such as theatricals, vari-
ETY. entertainments, dances and some
kinds of games-there may be grievous
harm. The same may be said of COM
pany-seeking with or without view
to marriage. 1t is we'll known how
strict an older generation was on these
matters-and with good reason. 1t is
certain that no pretense of custom, of
altered times, of modern ideas, can
make a thing lawful which is wrong
in itself"
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1916-04-29

from the powers of darkness and the
jaws of hell.
3, He has transferred us into His
kingdom, and opened for us the gates
of heaven, which sin had closed
4, He has presented to us the exem-
plar of all the virtues, the practice of
which is necessary for obtaining the
kingdom of God.
5. He has merited for us all the
graces which enable us to practice
virtues, the practice of which is neces.
sary to secure eternal life. We can do
nothing without Him, and His blood is
the fountain from which all graces
flow.
The super-eminent science of saliva
ton is the knowledge of Jesus Christ,
and Him crucified; ito those who
perish, a folly; but to such as are
saved, the powers Of God But this
science is not a mere speculative
faith in Jesus Christ crucified. 1t is
an active faith, which labors ito make
up what is wanting in the passion of
Christ" which is the application of
His merits. To effect the application
of His merits to individuals, Jesus
Christ established His Church, insti-
tuted His sacraments, gave existence
to His perpetual sacrifice, commits
stoned His apostles to go and preach
His gospel and the kingdom of God
to all nations, to administer His sacra-
ments, and to set up His cross as "a
standard to the peoples" He declared
to all that it is necessary for them ito
work out their salvation" and said:
He that will come after Me, let him
deny himself, take up his cross daily,
and follow Me-" AS He paid the
price, it was His right to place the
conditions upon which He would share
His merits and His glory with others.
And that none might entertain a doubt
of His ability to fulfill His promises
in addition to the numerous miracles
of His life, He arose triumphantly
from the dead, on the third day, as
He had foretold, and for forty days
gave numerous proofs of the reality of
His resurrection; and finally, in sight
of multitude of witnesses, left the
earth, and assembled to the right hand
of the Father.

RESPECT FOR THE BLESSED
SACRAMENT.

A beautiful illustration of love and
veneration for the Blessed Sacrament
is given in the biography of the late
Bishop Curtis of Wilmington, Della.
ware. After the Bishop had volun-
tarily retired from the administration
of the see-owing to his broken
health and advancing years-he be-
came again member of Cardinal
Gibbons household Selecting a room
just under the roof, the Bishop spent
there a part of his leisure hours read
ing, writing, studying and praying.
But to visit the Blessed Sacrament
was the dearest of all his occupations.
Often he rose during the night,
crossed the yard that separated the
house from the Cathedral and, enter
ing the sanctuary, remained there for
hours. One bitterly cold night, when
freezing sleet made walking difficult
the Bishop crawled on hands and
knees along the icy path Being asked
how he passed the time in the sane
tuary, he replied: "Oh, 1 stay there
like dog at the feet of my Master
This humility of this lover of the
Blessed Sacrament made him willing
to fill the lowliest place. What mat.
tered if he could only be in the Pres
ence! His heart and soul were salts
fed.

IA SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
SAINT zlTA, VIRGIN.

Zita lived for forty-eight years in
the service of Fatinelli, a .citizen Of
Lucca During this time she rose each
morning, while the household were
asleep, to hear Mass, and then toiled
necessarily till night came, doing the
work of others as we'll as her own.
Yet she had much to suffer. For
years her master and mistress treated
her as a mere drudge, while her
fellow-servants, resenting her dill
gence as a reproach to themselves,
insulted and struck her. Zita united
these sufferings with those of Christ
her Lord, never changing the sweet
tone of her voice, nor forgetting her
gentle and quiet ways. At length
Fatinelli, seeing the success. which
attended her undertakings, gave her
charge of his children and of the
household. She dreaded this dignity
more than the worst humiliation, but
scrupulously fulfilled her trust. By
her holy economy her masters goods
were multiplied, while the poor were
fed 1t his door. Gradually her I'M
failing patience conquered the jeal
ousy of her fellow-servants, and she
became their advocate with their hot
tempered master, who dared not
before Zita give way to his anger In
the end her prayer and toll sanctified
the whole house, and drew down upon
it the benediction of Heaven. She
died A. D. 1872, and in the moment
of her death a bright star appeared
above her attic showed that she had
gained eternal rest.

remained in church past the usual
hour of her bread.malling. She

with neglect of duty, and found the
