MRS. H. MANTLE
HAPEVILLE—The Confraterni
ty of Christian Doctrine of St.
John’s Parish met at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Walton. Father
Joseph Drohan presided and the
topic for “open” discussion was:
“WHETHER THE ACCOMP
LISHMENT OF CHRIST’S CON
CEPTION SHOULD BE AT
TRIBUTED TO THE HOLY
GHOST?,” taken from the “Sum
ma” by St. Thomas Aquinas.
The first objection raised was:
“It would seem that the accomp
lishment of Christ’s conception
should not be attributed to the
Holy Ghost, because as Augustine
says (De Trini), the work of the
Trinity are indivisible. But the ac
complishment of Christ’s concep
tion was the work of God. There
fore it seems that it should not be
attributed to the Holy Ghost any
more than to the Father or the
Son.
The second objection raised
was: “Further the apostle says
(Gal. iv. 4): When the fullness of
time was come, God sent His
Son, made of woman; which
words Augustine expounds by
saying (De Trin. iv): Sent, in so
far as made of a woman. But the
sending of the Son is especially
attributed to the Father, as stated
in the First Part. Therefore His
conception also, by reason of
which He was made of a woman,
should be attributed principally
to the Father.
In reply to Objection one,—
The work of the conception was
indeed common to the whole Tri
nity; yet in the same way it is
attributed to each of; the Persons
for to the Father is attributed
authority in regard to the Per
son of the Son, who by this con
ception took to Himself (human
nature). The taking itself (of hu
man nature) is attributed to the
Son: but the formation of the
body taken by the Son is attribut
ed to the Holy Ghost. For the
Holy Ghost is the Spirit of the
Son, according to Gal iv. 6: God
sent the Spirit of His Son. For
just as the power of the soul
which is the semen, through the
spirit enclosed therein, fashions
the body in the generation of oth
er men, so the Power of God,
which is the Son Himself, ac
cording to I Cor. i 24 Christ the
Power of God. through the Holy
Ghost formed the body which he
assumed. This is also shown by
the words of the angel: The Holy
Spirit shall come upon thee as it
were, in order to prepare and
fashion the matter of Christ’s
body and the Power of the Most
High, i.e., Christ, shall over sha
dow thee, that is to say, the in
corporeal Light of the Godhead
shall in thee take the corporeal
substance of human nature; for
a shadow is formed by light and
body, as Gregory says (Moral,
xviii) The Most High is the Fath
er, whose Power is the Son.
In reply to Objection two—The
mission refers to the Person as
suming, who is sent by the Fath
er but the conception refers to
the body assumed, which is form
ed by the operation of the Holy
Ghost. And therefore, the mis
sion and conception are in the
same subject; since they differ
in our consideration of them, mis
sion is attributed to the Father,
but the accomplishment of the
conception to the Holy Ghost;
whereas the assumption of flesh
is attributed to the Son.
However, St. Thomas Aquinas
sums it all up thusly: “It is
written (Luke i 35): The Holy
Ghost shall come upon Thee. I
answer that, the whole Trinity ef
fected the conception of Christ’s
body: nevertheless, this is attri
buted to the Holy Ghost, for three
reasons. First, because this is be
fitting to the cause of the Incarna
tion, considered on the part of
God. For the Holy Ghost is the
love of Father and Son, as stated
in the First Part. Now, that the
Son of God took to Himself flesh
from the Virgin’s womb was due
