Catholic In f ormation
A sin in Philadelphia but not in New York!
“Funny folks, you Catholics,” re
marked a gentleman recently. “1
once had lunch with one of you in
New York on a Friday, and he ate
meat without a* qualm. The same
night we dined in Philadelphia and
he shunned meat for fear of sin
ning. His alibi was that it was St. ;
Patricks Day. Why is the Irish
saint so partial to New York?”
“He isn’t," we smiled. “The dis
pensation from the usual Friday
abstinence was made by the head
of the New York archdiocese as a
special celebration of the Saint’s
feast day, perhaps because tlie New
Yoik Cathedral is named in honor
of St. Patrick. There was no such
dispensation in Philadelphia."
"Hm! I thought your Catholic
laws were suposed to be unchange- \
able throughout the ages?”
"By no means! You are confus
ing Church-made laws with God’s
revealed laws and the natural)
moral law, binding on all men at
all times. The Ten Commandments
were made by God. The Church
was appointed their guardian and
interpreter, but it was given no
right to change them. It never
does.
“But the Divine Son of God also
gave authority to the Church to
make other laws for the guidance
and government of the faithful;
such laws, for example, as Friday
abstinence, lenten fast, compulsory
attendance at Sunday Mass, Holy
Communion at Easter time, and
others. These laws the Church
made in its wisdom. These laws
the Church can eliminate, change,
or add to, in its wisdom. Bishop*
and priests may dispense individ
uals or their entire flocks from
some of these laws for a just cause
or a special occasion. But while a
Church law stands, deliberately to
break it is a grievous sin against
Christ, Himself, for did He not say
to His very first churchmen: ‘He
that heareth you, heareth me; 'and
he that despiselh you, despiseth
me' (Luke 10:1(J)?
“You can bet on a horse in Mary
land and still bo an honorable citi
zen; but cross the Pennsylvania
line and bet the same amount on
the same horse and you are an
outlaw. In like manner a Catholic is
under the New York archdiocesan
laws while in that district, and
under the Philadelphia archdioc
esan laws when in and around the
City ,of Brotherly Love. It’s not
the meat, nor the day of the week.
It is the breaking of the law that
is wrong in both cases.’’
If it's anything Catholic, ask a
Catholic!
