QUESTION BOX (Continued from Page 4) satiating his desire for every sin, since money helps one to obtain all manner of temporal goods; and according to ‘Eccles iastes’, X:19 ‘All things obey money,’ so that in this sense, de sire for riches is the root of all sins.” Even where wealth does not lead to sin, it still tends to sup plant God in the heart, thus blocking the soul’s passage to perfection. When one owns much wealth, he is tempted to become attached to his posses sions, even in a limited degree. Trust in God and union with Him are consequently some what thwarted. Despite such dangers it is still possible, though from a spirit ual viewpoint by no means easy, for a Christian to want to become, or to be, a million aire and a saint at one and the same time. But to do so, one must be profoundly convinced (with a conviction based on reason and faith) that wealth is just a means given by the Cre ator in order that man might care for his needs and those of his fellow man; that the end of all riches is God’s honor and glory; that money must never draw one from the Deity; and that in the last judgment God will demand a strict accounting from man as to how he used and shared his earthly goods. Q. What precisely does the expression "Canon of Sacred Scripture" mean? A.

Theology for The Layman ■ (Continued from Page 4) they felt that the dignity of God would be safeguarded by some want of completeness in the humanity He assumed. Thus very early the Docetists taught that His body was only an ap pearance, whereas St. Peter had said (I Peter 11.24) “Who His own self bore our sins in His body upon the Tree.” But the Docetists were only a kind of crude beginning. What really started heresy after heresy was the desire to escape not from Our Lord’s body but from His soul. There were those who said that He had no human soul, His divinity performed the func tions of a soul in the body where in He redeemed us. The Church remembered the terri ble phrase He uttered in the Garden of Gethsemane “My : soul is sorrowful even unto death.” Far more, admitting the soul, denied it intellect or will. - Both these faculties are worth a closer look, if we are to grasp at once the completeness and the mysteriousness of Our Lord’s humanity. As God, Christ Our Lord was omniscent, He knew all things, His knowledge was infinite. What could such a person, do with a finite intellect, which could only learn some tiny fraction of the things He al ready knew? In fact He did, and did with joy, all that could be done with it: for He was truly man. His body was real, and His senses were real; through them the external world made its way to His brain very much as it does to ours; and His human intellect pro ceeded to work upon their evi dence as human intellects are meant to. The person who in one nature knew all things did, as St. Luke tells us, in the oth er nature grow .in wisdom. (Technically this is called ex perimental knowledge; in ad dition the Church tells us, He had by God’s gift two other ways of knowing, infused knowledge and the Beatific Vision. We have no space here to discuss these in detail; but observe that both are kinds of knowledge that the human soul can receive.) Towards the end of the fifth century the Monothelites began to teach that while Our Lord had a human soul and a human intellect, He had no human will. (This was the heresy which caused a Council of the Church to condemn Pope Honorius — after his death — for not con demning it with due vigour.) In a sense it is simply another form of the objection against Our Lord’s finite intellect. He Himself answered it in Geth semane when He prayed to His Father “Not my will but thine be done.” There was never the faintest disharmony between the finite will and the infinite, but one was not the other. The, real horror of this here sy, little as its adherents saw it, is that it would mean that the human heart of Christ lacked the power to love. For love is the act of the will; and what ever there may be in imagin ing a person with an infinite intellect and a finite, an in finite will and a finite, it is simply mystery: it d o e s not horrify us like the bleakness of a human soul that could not love.

THE CURE D’ARS, a pictorial biography, text by the Right Reverend Rene Fourrey, Bishop of Belley, pictures by Rene Per rin, Kenedy, $10.00. One hundred years ago, “at about two o’clock in the morn ing, on 4th August, 1859,” the parish priest of Ars “fell asleep in the Lord.” His contemporaries knew that Father Jean Marie Vianney was a saint. His sancti ty had been evident in numerous ways during his 41 years as pas tor of this tiny village in the diocese of Belley, France. He was beatified in 1905 by Pope St. Pius X, canonized in 1925 by Pope Pius XI, and proclaim ed by Pope Pius XI in 1929 “ce lestial patron of all the parish priests of Rome and of the Cath olic world.” This magnificent volume, con taining four full-page color pho tographs and 115 black-and- white pictures, in addition to a new narrative of the saint’s life written by the present Bishop of Belley, is surely one of the finest of the books published, this year to celebrate the centenary of the death of St. Jean-Marie Vianney, the Cure of Ars. The text is fas cinating, the pictures even more so. The reader feels surrounded by the very atmosphere of the little French village and the sanctity of its heroic pastor. The story of the floods of pen itents who came to Ars from many places, of the saint’s long hours in the confessional, his amazing penances, his attacks by the devil, has been frequently told. Yet readers already well acquainted with the Cure of Ars nary which, early next year, will see its first ordination, that Solomon Makoul of Wil- liamantic, Connecticut, who will receive Holy Orders in the Maronite Rite in the early Spring.

The seminary will be the first major house of studies in the United States for the Catholic Eastern Rites other than Slavonic such as Ukranian or Ruthenian. The faculty is staffed by Reli- will find here unknown inci dents, for instance the fact that “his penitents went away . . . surprised at the lightness of the penance he imposed on them, never dreaming that their con fessor intended to supplement it liberally on his own person.” “I will tell you my recipe.” he re plied when asked, “I give them a small penance and do the rest for them.” The thought follows that perhaps many confessors today follow his example. Among the photogranhs are pictures of Blessed Marcellin Champagnat, Founder of the Marist Brothers, and the Vene rable Jean-Claude Colin, found er of the Marist Fathers and Sisters, both of whom were schoolmates and friends of St. Jean-Marie Vianney. The writer of the captions remarks that “Later, the Cure .d’Ars joined the Third Order of their Insti tute . . . .” (that is, the Marists’), a fact not mentioned by Mon signor Fourrey. The silence of so many modern biographers on this point is regrettable, espe cially in view of the fact that two of the primary sources make much of it: Monin’s “Spirit of the Cure of Ars,” and Trochu’s “Concerning the Cure of Ars.” The latter, for example, says: “ ‘In the beginning of the day,’ the Cure would explain, I try to unite myself closely with Our Lord, and with the thought of this union in mind I set about mv work.’ That is what Marv did the whole day long, united bv ineffable affection with her Divine Son . . . The whole spirit of the Society of Marv and its blessed Third Order is there; nor is it rash to say that the Cure of Ars, a very holy priest, was a verv holy tertiary, and that the priest in him owed to the ter tiary of Mary the fine flower of his perfection.” Miss Mary C.
