(MUST BE A FAMILY MEMBER):
ashamed of the son of man?
By: Diogenes Hearing (Mark 8:34ff), the following hard words of Jesus
hit home:
For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this
adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the
Son of Man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory
of his Father with the holy angels.
For many contemporary Catholics, denying Jesus takes
the form not of apostasy under duress but of "being
ashamed" of him and his words -- not frequently, perhaps,
but on those occasions when they are anxious
not to appear uncouth or ignorant or in the grip of
unfashionable moral hang-ups. Business luncheons,
faculty receptions, museum benefit galas can by more
subtle means accomplish what Tyburn and the
Coliseum could not.
When a Christian finds himself in the company of
prosperous scoffers, it's hard, particularly with a
-3-
manhattan or glass of chardonnay in hand, to interrupt the
flow of elegant blasphemy, and it's all too easy to
feign agreement by one's silence. In such circles, mention
of the Son of Man -- i.e., positive, non-sarcastic
mention -- is as unlovely as a brown tooth. Yet what
Christian would have the honesty to admit that he
kept quiet in such circumstances because he was
ashamed of Jesus? It hurts to think about. Readers of
C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters will remember the demon
Wormwood's attempt to damn his patient by
acquainting him with "just the sort of people we want him
to know -- rich, smart, superficially intellectual,
and brightly skeptical about everything in the world." The
senior devil Screwtape wants to make capital out
of the tactical situation:
Tell me more. Did he commit himself deeply? I don't mean
in words. There is a subtle play of looks and
tones and laughs by which a Mortal can imply that he is of
the same party is those to whom he is speaking.
That is the kind of betrayal you should specially
encourage, because the man does not fully realize it
himself; and by the time he does you will have made
withdrawal difficult.
No doubt he must very soon realize that his own faith is in
direct opposition to the assumptions on which
all the conversation of his new friends is based. I don't
think that matters much provided that you can
persuade him to postpone any open acknowledgment of
the fact, and this, with the aid of shame, pride,
modesty and vanity, will be easy to do. As long as the
postponement lasts he will be in a false position. He
will be silent when he ought to speak and laugh when he
ought to be silent. He will assume, at first only by
his manner, but presently by his words, all sorts of cynical
and skeptical attitudes which are not really his.
But if you play him well, they may become his. All mortals
tend to turn into the thing they are pretending
to be.
The chilling fact is that a believing, ordinarily dutiful
Christian can be brought to deny the Son of Man
without any of the barbarities of the torture chamber, but
simply through the desire to get a laugh or avoid
a sneer. I wonder how much of the headway that the
counter-Christians have made among Western élites
is abetted by these trivial acts of moral cowardice on the
part of believers who know better (and know they
know better). I confess it's not clear to me what the Son of
Man's "being ashamed" will consist in -- i.e., his
being ashamed, when he comes in his glory, of those who
were ashamed of him. Whatever form it takes,
it's pretty horrible to contemplate.
*********************************
They who want to win the world for Christ must have
the courage to come into conflict with it.
