Today the traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Mass of, Easter Tuesday day. Today's Mass lesson for traditional Catholics; From the book of: Acts 13, 26-33. In those days, Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham , and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent. For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing Jesus, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath, judging Him have fulfilled them. And finding no cause of death in Him, they desired of Pilate that they might kill Him. And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of Him, taking Him down from the tree they laid Him in a sepulchre. But God raised Him up from the dead the third day: Who was seen for many days by them, who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are His witnesses to the people. And we declare unto you that the promise which was made to our fathers, this same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus Christ our Lord.
Explanation: Like Saint Peter, so Saint Paul, founds the truth of his doctrine upon the resurrection of Jesus, because Christ had given this as the special proof of the truth of His doctrine. Had He not risen from the dead He would not have been the Son of God, and could not have redeemed mankind. The resurrection is, therefore, the foundation of our Catholic belief. On that account He allowed His disciples for a while to doubt, and only to believe after He had given them irrefragable proofs of His resurrection by repeatedly appearing to them; that by their doubts and cautious unbelief the wounds of unbelief in our hearts might be healed, and we might know how true is the resurrection, and how firmly founded is our faith.
INSTRUCTION ON WHAT WE OUGHT TO BELIEVE CONCERNING THE HOLY SCRIPTURES.
"He opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures." Luke: 24, 45.
Is it free to everyone to read and explain Holy Scripture according to his own opinion?
No; that must be done with submission and conformity to the teaching of the Holy Church. Questions of faith cannot be settled by appealing to the Holy Scriptures alone, since they themselves are liable to be misunderstood. For this reason the Church has done wisely in making the printing, reading, and explaining of the Holy Scripture depend upon the permission of lawful spiritual superiors.
What, therefore, must one do who desires to read the Holy Scriptures?
He must read them, 1. Only with the permission of the ecclesiastical superiors.
2. With the subjection of his own opinion to the decisions of the Church, and the interpretation of the holy fathers. 3. With suitable preparation, by prayer and fasting, as Saint Thomas Aquinas did, and with devotion and care.
