Modern biblical scholars draw
some really startling conclusions

Plus XII issued his encycli-
cal, ION the Most ODpor-
tune Way to Promote Bibli-
cal Studies" a great deal has
been learned about the Scrip
lures.
And - sadly most Of
this learning has been con-
fined to scholars and spe-
cialists. The average Catho-
lie layman 49, even the most
apostolic minded knows
no more about Bible studies
than he knows about neuro-
surgery.
For some reason, many
believe that the Bible con-
tains only one type of writ
ing, and that is sober his
torical narrative.

points out, displayed as
rich a variety of literary
forms as any other litera-
ture, and none of these
forms, said Plus XII, is to be
excluded from the Bible on
principle unless it contra
diets the holiness and truth
of God
There is such a thing as
being too serious about the
Bible, falling to catch its
subtle humor, which is no

UNDERSTANDING THE
BIBLE by Tgnatius Hunt,
O.S.B. (Sheed and Ward:
New York, 1862, 1895.
Do you know:
that Cain and Abel are
not the immediate sons of
the First Man and First
Woman?
that the flood did not
cover the entire universe
and destroy all but eight
persons?
. that the prophet Jonah
was not swallowed by a great
fish?
. that the Chosen People
did not cross the Red Sea
during the exodus from
Egypt?
These are some of the
really startling conclusions
that have been reached by
modern biblical scholars.

ious and faithful who are in

@. What is the difference
between the Miracles of
LoUrdes and the cures Of
Christian Science or Of faith
heaIers?
A. A miracle is an extra
ordinary event that is APP
parent to human observation
which is definitely divine in
its origin. A true miracle can
be worked only with Gods
active Intervention.
1t must be evident Gas in
the case of Lazarus or the
man born blind. The miracles
of Lourdes must be SUBMIT
ed to an impartial and inter
national medical board before
they are even considered for
acceptance. Christian Science
shuns medical treatment. Who
has ever seen the cures of a
faith-healer submitted to an
impartial medical board, ex-
aiming the patient carefully
b efore and after (as at
Lourdes - for several years
after an alleged cure).
See such books as Ruth
Cranston's "The Miracle of
Lourdes" for the solid evil
dence (she is an American
reporter, a none Catholic who
investigated Lourdes).

A Council is ecumenical
In its execution, when all the
bishops have been invited,
and have accepted in suffi-
cient numbers to be consid-
cred representative of the
whole Church. In exception
al circumstances, a minori-
ty may be representative.
No fixed proportion can be
assigned; nor is there any
definite rule that can be me-
chanically applied to deter
mine ecumenicity. In the
case of the first eight Coun-
ellis, only the metropolitans
were directly invited, and
were commissioned to bring
with them some of their suf-
fragans. The important
thing was held to be the
presence of all the patri-
archs; but, in many cases,
the western patri e
was represented solely by
the papal legates.
WITH THE COUNCILS
of Ephesus (431) and Chal-
cedon (451), the interval be-
tween summons and first
sitting was too short for all
the western bishops to be
invited. Al the first eight
Councils only a few from
the west were present; at
some only bishops from the
east. These Councils, how
ever, were all ecumenical, be-
cause the Bishop of Rome,
as head of the Universal
Church and, in a special
manner, of the west, CO.
operated with them, as was
especially apparent at Ephe-
sus and Chalcedon. 1t is
clear, then, that, in the view
of the early Church, the de-
cisive factor was not so
much the proportion of bish-
ops present to the whole
episcopate as their organic
union with their head and
center of unity.
We must distinguish what
Is strictly necessary for ecu
menicity from those factors
which make a Council ecu
menical in the fullest possi-
BILE sense. Such factors are:
/. The presence of the
bishops in great number, in
deed of a majority of them,
making the representation of
the whole tea h g body
something real and not mere
ly juridical. This will also
insure a complete presenta-
ton of the Faith on the part
of the teaching body, for the
function of witnessing to the
Faith is inseparable from
the episcopal order. Like
wise, the bishops testimony
to the beliefs of their sub
iects can then most fully be
presented to the Council.
2. Another factor is free
and close discussion of all
objections and difficulties.
Examples of this are the de-
tailed discu S S ions of the
