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 (Continued on Page 2)
