Comments on the Catholic Bibliographical Index

Dr. Barbara Berfanger, Ed.D. Former President, St. Mary’s College, Kansas

Recently I learned about the release of the Catholic Bibliographical Index by Preserving Christian Publications. My experience in research and in teaching led me to recognize quickly and without doubt that this Index offers an immense, rich resource about works by Catholic authors.

The Index is easy to navigate. Once the user gets started, he can browse by category or search the entire database. The works are listed in a wide range of categories, and the titles are numbered within each category. This feature can keep the searcher on track and save him from getting lost in a long list. The listed titles, most with brief annotations, are clear, well-spaced, and easy to read. Bold-faced headings attract reader’s attention to essential publication information.

Anyone searching for references to Catholic authors can find the Index beneficial. It can be helpful to the teacher who wants to compile a reading list to aid students following his or her courses. Secondary and college instructors will find the Index indispensable in guiding students in traditional methods of using an index as an early step in composing a research paper. By being directed to worthwhile works to consider, students can gain skill and will likely discover and appreciate some of the treasures that Catholics have inherited. The Index can yield satisfying rewards to advanced scholars and even to general readers who are pursuing specific searches.

It is a pleasure to give a hearty welcome and endorsement to this gold-mine of information.

What Is the Catholic Bibliographical Index? http://www.cbi.pcpbooks.net/

St. John the Evangelist ended his Gospel by stating that

“many other things which Jesus did . . . if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.” By way of analogy, while guarding the distinction between the divine and the human, one might say that no bibliography in existence can contain all the books written by Catholic authors during the two thousand years of the history of the Church.

For more than a quarter of a century, however, Preserving Christian Publications has been electronically cataloging books by Catholic authors obtained from Catholic institutions and private collections, primarily in the northeast of the United States, but also from the Midwest and Far West of the country, as well as from southeastern Canada and from Puerto Rico. The resulting bibliography of nearly 25,000 Catholic titles is far from a complete listing of books by Catholic authors. Nevertheless we believe it serves as a useful research tool, and as an introduction to the world’s Catholic literature. Although primarily a list of

Catholic books published in English, it also contains many Latin titles and books in several other languages as well.

It is not always easy to determine whether or not certain authors are Catholic, either because they are not sufficiently known to us, or because their publishing houses are not Catholic. But we have always tried to verify the Catholic identity of authors before including their works in the bibliography. In a relatively small number of cases we have included some non-Catholic writers when they wrote on Catholic subjects, but we have added “non-Catholic” after their names to distinguish them from the other authors in the list. In some rare cases we may have mistakenly included some non-Catholic authors without identifying them as such, but we are confident that such errors are very minimal. Therefore this Catholic Bibliographical Index represents the fruit of more than three decades of our work in making Catholic books better known and available to readers throughout the world.

Printed Catalog & Web Site: Our printed catalog offers many of our newly acquired titles, while our web site contains much of the cataloged inventory that does not appear in the most recent printed catalog.

Communion in the Hand: Documents & History

by Bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise From the Preface to the Italian edition

by Bishop Athanasius Schneider:

“The book of Bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise and his pastoral initiatives concerning the manner of receiving Holy Communion reflect the spirit and the attitude of the Church Fathers, who have cultivated with loving care and with apostolic firmness the purity of the lex credendi and also

inseparably the lex orandi.... “I consider it an honor and joy to be able to present this book of the most esteemed Bishop Juan Rodolfo Laise, “decus episcoporum Argentinae.” I hope this prophetic voice of an elderly bishop, who has retained his youth and purity of faith and reverent love for the Eucharistic mystery, may enkindle readers with the same faith and the same love and contribute to the universal restoration of the more sacred and reverent manner of receiving the Lord's Body. In fact, every true Catholic and even more every true priest of Christ must love, worship and defend Jesus in the Eucharist.”

Meditation on the Passion By a Mistress of Novices

– Reprint of the 1922 edition –

AMONG the many subjects proposed by the Church to us for mental prayer, there is none more profitable than the

sublime mystery of Calvary. For even where everything is supremely holy—namely, in the actions of Him Who is the way, and the truth, and the life—the Passion is the culmination of sanctity, the highest exercise of virtue, the greatest cause of merit. Hence devout meditation on it produces most abundant fruit in souls. And for this reason, Saints and

Doctors of the Church—those who are specially enlightened, those who spoke from experience, those who are our best guides in the spiritual life—with one accord praise and glorify it...

A Member of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who, as Mistress of Novices for about thirty years, had gained great experience in the formation of religious as well as in the varied requirements of conventual life, proposed by means of this book to impart . . . the fruit of her own reflections on the Passion, which one so spiritual and enlightened was exceptionally fitted to compile.

Holy Week Gregorian Chant Book: Liber Hebdomadae Sanctae Cantus Gregoriani

Since our reprint of the Liber Brevior was based on

the original 1954 edition, it did not include the restored Pius XII Holy Week ceremonies and offices. So we at PCP decided to put together a book just for Holy Week that would include all the chants and melodies for all the offices, ceremonies and Masses of that week. Thus our new Gregorian Chant Holy Week Book was born.

The new Gregorian Chant Holy Week Book was made by taking out those parts from the 1962 Liber Usualis that pertain to the entire week, beginning with the restored Palm Sunday ceremonies up to and including the Easter Vigil. Therefore parishes interested in doing the offices of the Sacred Triduum known as Tenebrae, for example, can find this book most valuable. And all the other sung ceremonies can be found in it as well.

For choirs on the parish level we believe this book of 244 pages is smaller, more useful and more affordable for Holy Week than the larger and bulkier Liber Usualis. As usual we have had this book sewn and bound with a hardcover durable binding for a long life. One ribbon marker was inserted in the book as a speedy reference locator. All the music is in Gregorian notation with the rubrics in English

The Mission of Sister Lúcia

Introduction: Sister Lúcia Defines Her Own Mission

The first in this series of articles on the Third Secret of Fatima analyzed and responded to the theory of a missing text or “fourth secret,” showing why the Third Secret vision is not “ambiguous,” and why no second explanatory document constitutes a part of the Secret. The second article was devoted to Sister Lúcia’s letter of May 12, 1982, in which she described the Secret as a “symbolic vision,” explaining to Pope John Paul II how the vision referred to the fulfillment of the prophecy of the Second Secret, where Our Lady said that if Her requests were not heeded, Russia would spread its errors throughout the world – a prophecy that has been fulfilled, as Sister Lúcia explained to the Pope, because Our Lady’s requests were not met. Theories about a missing document, which would explain the vision in more detail than what Sister Lúcia provided in her letter to the Pope, have not taken into account Sister Lúcia’s own explanation of the nature of her mission as the messenger of Fatima. The Carmelites of Coimbra in their biography of Sister Lúcia, after presenting the key texts from Sister Lúcia’s diary relating to her writing down the Third Secret after Our Lady appeared to her in January of 1944, cite Sister Lúcia’s own words preceded by their explanation: “She never said a word of personal opinion about the meaning which was given to her to understand, always affirming: The interpretation belongs to the Church.” Previous to this passage in the biography the Carmelites had already cited Sister Lúcia’s letter to Pope John Paul II, in which she did in fact interpret the Secret, and therefore there might at first appear to be a contradiction. But the apparent contradiction is easily resolved simply by noting that Sister Lúcia only gave the general outline of the interpretation of the Secret, not the specific details. Therefore, in the context of all the available documents one sees clearly what Sister Lúcia meant regarding the nature of her own role in the interpretation of the message of Fatima. Sister Lúcia wrote the First and Second Secrets in 1941, during Second World War. Before considering the early reactions within the Church to these revelations, and how Fatima therefore was being interpreted throughout the Church, it is important to consider in more detail what St. Thomas taught about the way in which prophetic knowledge is received within the mind of the recipient.

St. Thomas Aquinas on the Passing Nature of Prophetic Knowledge

St. Thomas raises the question of whether the recipient of prophetic knowledge possesses this grace in a continual state, a habitus in Latin, or instead in a more transitory fashion (II-II, q. 171, a. 2), and he replies by explaining that it comes at specific moments and not in a permanent manner. For this reason, St. Thomas further explains, the recipient has

to rely at times on his or her human judgment (q. 171, a. 5). Some conclude from such a distinction that seers can be in error in their testimony. For example, the two seers of La Salette, Melanie and Maximin, have always been objects of debate. They have been described by some as being unreliable in parts of their testimony, but while being staunchly defended by other very reputable voices within the Church. A similar controversy arose regarding Sister Lúcia. The Portuguese journal Brotéria and the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon in recent years provided a detailed summary of much of the controversy about the interpretation of the message of Fatima and the testimony of Sister Lúcia, centered around the debate over the critical writings of the theologian Father Edouard Dhanis. However, it is not simply due to Sister Lúcia’s critics, but also among those who have taken her more seriously, that divisions have appeared in the interpretation of all that she said and wrote. It is for this reason that the publication of a new biography by the Carmelites of Coimbra is an immensely significant development for students of Fatima. The Carmelites present Sister Lúcia as she appears in her personal diary, giving a picture of both her interior life as well as her apostolic zeal in making known the message of Fatima in a profoundly supernatural manner – her joining the contemplative life itself with a zeal for souls, a zeal instilled in the three seers of Fatima from the day of Our Lady’s first apparition to them on May 13, 1917.

The Hierarchy and Fatima During the Second World War

The author of the Portuguese study from Brotéria, José Barreto, points out that members of the hierarchy during the Second World War interpreted the prophecies of the Second Secret in diametrically opposed ways, based upon the sides their various countries were taking during the War. The author’s summary was based in part on a study by the American Jesuit historian Father Robert Graham, published in the Italian Jesuit journal Civiltà Cattolica in 1981, which explained the reactions of the bishops following the radio message of Pope Pius XII of October 31, 1942. The Portuguese article cites the example of how Cardinal Hinsley, archbishop of Westminster, as well as Catholics of the French Resistance and Catholics of the United States, saw in the mentioning of the conversion of Russia in the Second Secret a reference to the Russian people defending their country against the Nazi invasion. But a spokesman within the hierarchy on the opposite side was Cardinal Schuster, archbishop of Milan, who characterized the efforts of the Italian soldiers as a sacrifice that could become “the most beautiful and the most complete victory of Roman Catholicism over Bolshevism.” The Nazis even wanted to use Fatima to their advantage, but some in the Vatican tried to counter this by issuing a version of the Second Secret that left

23

out the reference to Russia, in order to offset any efforts of Nazi propagandists to use it for their own purposes. As Catholics of the present generation examine these diverse reactions of members of the hierarchy during the Second World War, they have a historical perspective that Catholics of that previous generation did not yet have, insofar as the latter were in the midst of the conflict. In retrospect, it would seem more accurate to conclude that neither side in the War represented the signs either of the conversion of Russia, or of the defeat of Communism. For Russia’s errors were in fact spreading to other countries in the conflict, as seen with Nazism in Germany and Fascism in Italy. Nor can the analysis stop there, for the Allied nations themselves allowed for the occupation of eastern European nations by Soviet Russia, and soon Communism was spreading to China, Korea, Vietnam and elsewhere. Sister Lúcia did not see it as her mission to enter into all the details or the specific causes of the spread of the errors of Russia, but rather the general outline of these developments. She left it to the Church to provide the more specific theological and historical interpretations. But within the universal Church there was not a unified consensus of opinion, and as a result the debate among Catholics was to continue in the decades that followed. That debate was only to intensify as the year 1960 arrived, which was the year when it was thought the Third Secret would be revealed.

The Year 1960 in the History of the Church

At a Rome symposium in May of 2010, retired Bishop Manuel Pestana Filho of Anápolis, Brazil revealed that during the Second Vatican Council a certain commission from the Council went at the time to see Sister Lúcia, and that he himself had an opportunity to submit a question to her in writing through this commission, and his question was precisely on this point: Is there a relationship between the Third Secret and the Second Vatican Council? He then explained that Sister Lúcia was very reserved in her response, and that she indicated that she did not have permission to discuss this matter. Arguments have been made, based upon the testimony of a German-speaking priest, Father Dollinger – who had significant contact with Pope Benedict XVI as Cardinal Ratzinger – that the Cardinal had stated to him that the Secret speaks specifically not only of the Council, but also of the liturgical changes following it. A more logical conclusion, based upon all the evidence, is that Father Dollinger was talking not about the Secret specifically, but about statements that Cardinal Ratzinger had made to him in other contexts, regarding the abuses he saw as coming from the liturgical changes, and what later as Benedict XVI he referred to as the “spirit” as opposed to the “letter” of the Council. Although Benedict XVI’s distinction is not universally accepted, it clearly represents what he as Cardinal Ratzinger would have said to Father Dollinger. For there is no evidence from Sister Lúcia herself that such details are part of the Third Secret, insofar as she said nothing of them in her May 1982 letter to Pope John Paul II. The events as they unfolded during the Council, on the other hand, are what reveal the significance of what actually occurred. Whereas during the Second World War various

bishops had conflicting opinions about which side in the conflict represented either the errors of Russia or Russia’s conversion, during the Council the bishops were divided on the question of the role of Fatima in relation to the Council, precisely the question that Bishop Pestana had formulated to Sister Lúcia. While Sister Lúcia chose not to reply, not being authorized to speak on this subject, she did not have to do so because subsequent events were to speak for themselves. Two petitions were submitted to the Council, the first calling for the condemnation of Communism, and signed by 213 bishops from 54 countries, and the second requesting the consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, signed by 510 bishops from 78 counties.* In spite of the significant number of bishops making these requests, the petitions were not submitted to a vote. But in the decades following the Council the questions did not go away, and continued to present themselves to the attention of the universal Church. When Sister Lúcia wrote her May 1982 letter to Pope John Paul II, the Pope’s native Poland had just experienced a crisis in which martial law was imposed on the country, in the face of domestic conflict revolving around the Solidarity movement. Poland under Communism had a history of attempts of Church authorities to negotiate with the Communist government, from the days of Cardinal Wyszyński to those of Cardinal Glemp, and yet in 1982 Sister Lúcia was not proclaiming victory over Communism, but, instead, its opposite: Russia had now spread its errors throughout the world, and this was the meaning of the Third Secret according to her explanation to the Pope.

Conclusion: Sister Lúcia and the Magisterium of the Church

When looking back at the history of devotion to Fatima and to the various responses of the hierarchy of the Church, one notices the different interpretations from bishops during the Second World War, followed by the divergent attitudes about the degree of importance of Fatima and its message after 1960, or during the Council and the decades that followed. From this it becomes obvious to Catholics devoted to Fatima that the Church’s final word on the Fatima message has yet to be spoken, and that theologians and apostles of Fatima are still free to study and meditate on its message in order to apply it to the spiritual needs of our time. In the meantime the role of Sister Lúcia is becoming better known and understood after new information came to light through the publication of the Carmelite biography. That is, Our Lady told her not to write down her own understanding of the Secret as though it were the Secret itself, but only what she was told to write, namely, the vision that Our Lady had shown to her, Blessed Francisco and Blessed Jacinta. Only later, in May of 1982, did Our Lady provide Sister Lúcia with the opportunity to present to the Holy Father what she understood of the meaning of the vision. With the publication of the Carmelite biography, Catholics worldwide now have better means of understanding the full message of Fatima and Sister Lúcia’s mission in transmitting it. ___________________________________________________
