married before Catholic priest and
who was later divorced from his WI1e'
now marry u Catholic woman?
We presume that the man before ms
marriage made it clear TO the priest
that he had never been baptized; ana
that the necessary dispensation from
The law of the church had been Sc
cured before the marriage ceremony.
Granting these conditions the man S
marriage was valid and was blndlh&
until death do rs part what
God has Joined together, man cannot
nut asunder." A second woman mas
no right to keep company with such
man.
Can Roman Catholic hear Mass
in a Greek Catholic Church, and there
by fulfill the obligation of hearing
Mass?
The Greek Catholic Church referred
to- is. we presume, the Greek church
united to the Roman Catholic. The
so-called Orthodox Greek Church,
whose highest authority is the Gar
of Russia is not in communion with
the Roman Catholic Church, and, con-
seauently, does not exercise any Of
its functions with due authority. To
participate in any OF its schismatical
services would be sinful. Evidently,
then. q Catholic could not be free to
assist at Mass in such a Church.
The United Greek Church is, how
ever, Of a different character. 1t is
thoroughly in communion with Rome.
1t receives from the Pope, the Bishop
of Rome, both its power and its Juris-
diction. II has q ritual for its serV-
ices different from the Roman Cath
Ollie: but the rite that it uses has
the fun approval of the Pope: and,
all it's services are as truly Catholic
as those performed in a Roman Cath
Ole Church. One who attends Mass
according to the Greek rite assists at
the divine sacrifice as well as one
who follows the Mass Of the Roman
rite. SO far, then, as the validity OF
the act is concerned, the question is
answered in the affirmative. Is q
Catholic free to attend Mass in the
ciplne. The general rule Of the
Church does not favor this course.
A Roman Catholic priest, for instance,
may not celebrate Mass according to
The Greek rite. Different reasons
will suggest the adyisability of this
plan. The local church authority fol-
lows the same discipline. To sane
ton indiscriminata observance of
these rites would lead to misUnder-
standing on the part Of the people,
who would not be thoroughly &C
quainted With both; and to serious
disorder in the general government
Of parishes. If it were impossible,
z however, for Roman Catholic to
assist at Mass in his own rite on Sun
day, he would lie free or he should
attend Mass in the Greek rite, if the
opportunity to do so were present.
May Catholic women get up So
ciable and dance and give the pro.
ceeds to the Church? Is card party
allowed for the same purpose?
