PACIFISM AND HERESY

The Archbishop of York, Dr. Temple, writing in the "York Diocesan Leaflet," explained his recent statement that' "extreme pacifism is heretical," says the "Daily Telegraph." •

"Friends have asked me," he wrote, "to explain what was in my mind. Of course, I recognise that many who hold heretical opinions are personally devoted and even saintly Christians.

' "I should perhaps have qualified my expression by saying 'heretical in tendency,' for I do not know of any formal condemnation by the Church of pacifism as. such. But that in its extreme form it is 'heretical in tendency' I cannot doubt.

"This does .not apply to those who say that modern warfare is such that to engage in it will almost certainly do more harm than good. That is a judgment concerning a balance of values, not a judgment of principle. "The position with which I am concerned is that of pacifists who say that it is, as a universal principle, unChristian to use in support of law whatever degree of force is requisite, even to the taking of life, in restraint of lawless force or violence."

Dealing with the Italo-Abyssinian war, the Archbishop said:

"The League has not prevented the Italian aggression upon Abyssinia, and some see in that the failure of the League. So it is, in the sense that every robbery which <ds committed represents a failure of the police system.

"But this degree of failure was always to be anticipated on the first occasion when some nation should decide to test the degree of its effectiveness. The vitally important point is yet to be determined—can. the League take action m, face.of such• aggression that nations rwill have to take •■ it seriously into account in future?

"We- are at the beginning of the greatest political enterprise ever undertaken—the curbing of national sovereignty by the representatives of the common interest of mankind."
