ST. PAUL, Minn., (NC) — A
panel of spiritual leaders is a
highlight of a dynamic new
traffic safety program for
teenagers here.
The program was intro
duced last August by Juvenile
Court Judge Archie Gingold
“not to sentence offenders but
to work with them.”
Since then 450 boys and
girls have attended the safe
driving clinic at which they
hear talks from police and in
surance representatives a n d
visit hospitals and the morgue
to view on effects of reckless
driving.
A highlight of the day-long
sessions is the panel on moral
responsibility of drivers. Mem

— The Mass is the only an
swer to the biggest challenge
facing today’s world, “the
challenge of forming one hu
man race,” a Jesuit theologian
said here (May 21).
Father Bernard Cooke, S.J.,
chairman of the theology de
partment at Marquette Uni
versity, Milwaukee, said the
most powerful, lasting source
of unity between men is the
lesson of love that radiates
from the Eucharistic sacrifice.
Giving the year’s final Cath
olic Thought lecture at the
Catholic Youth Center, Father
Cooke said isolationism is^ im
possible in the modern world.
“But one world doesn’t neces
sarily mean one mankind,” he
said. “It’s up to us to work for
real unification instead of just
rubbing elbows in conflict.
“We need a unity broad
enough to transcend all in
dividual differences of politics,
economics, cultures, person
alities.”
He said communism, claim

Churches; and Father Paul
Palmitessa, assistant pastor of
St. Paul cathedral:
“We don’t preach,” Father
Palmitessa commented. “We
just get together for an hour’s
discussion of the question. And
the response is gratifying. We
tell them they must practice
courtesy and charity on the
road.”
The priest added that teen

He said there is only one
unity that can encompass all
men: the “unity of faith.”

Says Mass Is Only Answer To
World’s Biggest Challenge
QUESTION BOX
By David Q. Liptak
Q. Without appealing to
authority other than Sacrsd
Scripture itself, how can I
prove to a Bible-reading
Protestant that the words
spoken by Christ when in
stituting the Blessed Eucha
rist were meant literally;
i.e., that the phrase "This is
My Body" is not a figure of
speech? I don't know whe
ther such a proof is possible
unless one brings in the
commentaries of the Fathers
and the teachings of the
Church. But if it is possible,
could you summarize the ar
gument?
A. Of course the literal
meaning of the words used by
Christ in instituting the Bless
ed Eucharist is evident in Sac
red Scripture. Each of the
four sacred writers who de
scribe the institution of the
Blessed Sacrament (SS. Mat
thew, Mark, Luke and John)
clearly indicate that the Sav
iour did not use a figure of
speech, but that He meant ex
actly what He said.
ONE OF THE primary rules
of language is that words
ought to be understood in
their natural and literal sense,
unless it is apparent they are
being employed figuratively.
The latter could happen be
cause of 1) the over-all con
text, 2) an explanatory pre
face or 3) a peculiar usage af
fixed by custom. But the con
text in which Christ spoke is
obviously literal. Nor did He
forewarn His Apostles that He
did not really mean what He
said. And it is pre-posterous to
allege that a phrase so sim
ple as “This is My Body”
should be understood in ac
cordance with some peculiar,
esoteric usage.
THE FACTUAL SENSE of
Christ’s words is also evident
from the circumstances of the
institution as recorded in the
New Testament. First, the
Apostles were plain-thinking,
literal-minded men, so much
so that many of Christ’s para
bles had to be explained to
them point for point. Second
ly, Our Divine Lord instituted
the Eucharist on the night be
fore He suffered and died,
during His final hours, there
fore. Surely this was no time
for metaphors.
ANOTHER POINT. The
primitive rendering of the
Greek text (in appealing to
New Testament Scripture, one
cannot ignore the fact that it
was composed in the Greek
idiom) indicates this meaning:
“This is the body (the very
body) of Me.” To contend that
a phrase like this could pos
sibly be a figure of speech de
fies reason — a fact accident
ally confirmed in that those
who do claim the words are
merely symbolic cannot agree
on one of more than 200 fab
ricated, fantastic explanations.
AMONG THE SPECIFIC
objections raised against the
literal interpretation of
Christ’s words is this one: The
expression “This is My Body”
can be compared to obviously
figurative sentences like “I am
the vine, you are the branch
es” (St. John XV 5) and “(Sa
rah and Agar) are the two
covenants” (Galations IV: 24),
etc.
SUCH OBJECTIONS, how
ever, are invalid. For in all
the latter phrases, the sub
ject is either a noun or a pro
noun (I, you) whereas in the
words Christ used, the subject
is the neuter demonstrative
“This.” Tooj in the alleged
similar texts, the subjects and
the predicate nominatives are
entirely distinct from each
other — it is precisely because
they cannot be identified that
the verb “is” (“are”) can be
interpreted as “signifies.” All
of which is pointed to by the
context in which these texts
are used, or allegory, or para
ble or prophecy of type.
ONE FINAL argument. In
instituting the Eucharist,
Christ gave us exactly what
He promised. But He promised
He would give us His flesh
to eat and His blood to drink
(St. John VI: 48 seq.). One
would have to be blind to
sense or ignorant to interpret
this latter text in any other
way.
SO THAT from Scripture
alone it is plain that Christ is
truly, really and substantially
present after the Consecration
in the Sacrifice of the Mass.
* * *
Q. Is it known for certain
just when ihe first formal
canonization occurred?
A. Insofar as solid historical
evidence now attests, the first
formal canonization was that
of St. Ulrich, Bishop of Augs
burg, at the Lateran Council
in 933. It was not until 1234,
however, that the Holy Father
reserved the right of formal
canonization exclusively to
himself.
All passing maneuvers
should be made quickly to re
duce time on the left side of
the road, advises the Allstate
Safety Crusade. In cities, start
to pass beyond ah" ihtersec-
tion so as to complete your
pass before reaching the next
intersection.
