Robert Hugh Benson AFSC KC*SG KGCHS (18 November 1871 - 19 October 1914) was an English Anglican priest who in 1903 was received into the Roman Catholic Church in which he was ordained priest in 1904. He was a prolific writer of fiction and wrote the notable dystopian novel Lord of the World (1907). His output encompassed historical, horror and science fiction, contemporary fiction, children's stories, plays, apologetics, devotional works and articles. He continued his writing career at the same time as he progressed through the hierarchy to become a Chamberlain to the Pope in 1911 and subsequently titled Monsignor. Early life: Benson was the youngest son of Edward White Benson (Archbishop of Canterbury) and his wife, Mary, and the younger brother of Edward Frederic Benson and A. C. Benson. Benson was educated at Eton College and then studied classics and theology at Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1890 to 1893. In 1895, Benson was ordained a priest in the Church of England by his father, who was the then Archbishop of Canterbury. Career: After his father died suddenly in 1896, Benson was sent on a trip to the Middle East to recover his own health. While there he began to question the status of the Church of England and to consider the claims of the Roman Catholic Church. His own piety began to tend toward the High Church tradition, and he started exploring religious life in various Anglican communities, eventually obtaining permission to join the Community of the Resurrection. Benson made his profession as a member of the community in 1901, at which time he had no thoughts of leaving the Church of England. As he continued his studies and began writing, however, he became more and more uneasy with his own doctrinal position and, on 11 September 1903, he was received into the Catholic Church. He was awarded the Dignitary of Honour of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre. Benson was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1904 and sent to Cambridge. He continued his writing career along with his ministry as a priest. Novelist: Like both his brothers, Edward Frederic Benson ("Fred") and Arthur Christopher Benson, Robert wrote many ghost and horror stories, as well as children's stories and historical fiction. His horror and ghost fiction are collected in The Light Invisible (1903) and A Mirror of Shallott (1907). His novel, Lord of the World (1907), is generally regarded as one of the first modern dystopian novels (see List of dystopian literature).

Book excerpt: First published in 1913, this book is Benson's defense of Catholicism against those who attack the Church from the angle of both extremes (i.e. to Meek and to Violent). His answer for the many paradoxes found within Catholicism is the complete Divinity and Humanity of Jesus Christ. From this basis he explains how the Church can be both Wealthy and Poor, Joyful and Sorrowful, Meek and Violent, etc. Benson writes, "We have considered, so far, a number of paradoxical phenomena exhibited in the life of Catholicism and have attempted to find their reconciliation in the fact that the Catholic Church is at once Human and Divine. In her striving, for example, after a Divine and supernatural Peace, of which she alone possesses the secret, she resists even unto blood all human attempts to supplant this by another. As a human society, again, she avails herself freely of human opportunities and aids, of earthly and created beauty, for the setting forth of her message; yet she can survive, as can no human society, when she is deprived of her human rights and her acquired wealth."

Some of the ideas presented in this book have already been set out in a former volume entitled "Christ in the Church" and a few in the meditations upon the Seven Words, in another volume, but in altogether other connexions. The author thought it better, therefore, to risk repetition rather than incoherency in the present set of considerations. It is hoped that the repetitions are comparatively few.

The mysteries of the Church, a materialistic scientist once announced to an astonished world, are child's play compared with the mysteries of nature.l He was completely wrong, of course, yet there was every excuse for his mistake. For, as he himself tells us in effect, he found everywhere in that created nature which he knew so well, anomaly piled on anomaly and paradox on paradox, and he knew no more of theology than its Simpler and more explicit statements.

Book excerpt: We have seen how the Church of the Prince of Peace must continually be the centre of war. Let usgo on to consider how, as a Human Society dwelling in this world, she must continually have hereyes fixed upon the next, and how, as a Divine Society, she must be open to the charge ofworldliness.I. (i) The charge is a very common one: "Look at the extraordinary wealth and splendour that thisChurch of the Poor Man of Nazareth constantly gathers around her and ask yourself how she candare to claim to represent Him! Go through Holy Rome and see how the richest and most elaboratebuildings bear over their gateways the heraldic emblems of Christ's Vicar! Go through any countrywhich has not risen in disgust and cast off the sham that calls herself 'Christ's Church' and you willfind that no worldly official is so splendid as these heavenly delegates of Jesus Christ, no palacesmore glorious than those in which they dwell who pretend to preach Him who had not where to lay Hishead!"Above all, turn from that simple poverty-stricken figure that the Gospels present to us, to the manwho claims to be His Vicegerent on earth. See him go, crowned three times over, on a throne borneon men's shoulders, with the silver trumpets shrilling before him and the ostrich fans coming onbehind, and you will understand why the world cannot take the Church seriously. Look at the courtthat is about him, all purple and scarlet, and set by that the little band of weather-beaten fishermen!"No; if this Church were truly of Christ, she would imitate Him better. It was His supreme missionto point to things that are above; to lift men's thoughts above dross and gold and jewels and worldlyinfluence and high places and power; to point to a Heavenly Jerusalem, not made with hands; to comfortthe sorrowful with a vision of future peace, not to dabble with temporal matters; to speak of graceand heaven and things to come, and to let the dead bury their dead! The best we can do for her, then, isto disembarrass her of her riches; to turn her temporal possessions to frankly temporal ends; torelease her from the slavery of her own ambition into the liberty of the poor and the children of God!"

Book excerpt: "We have considered, so far, a number of paradoxical phenomena exhibited in the life of Catholicism and have attempted to find their reconciliation in the fact that the Catholic Church is at once Human and Divine. In her striving, for example, after a Divine and supernatural Peace, of which she alone possesses the secret, she resists even unto blood all human attempts to supplant this by another. As a human society, again, she avails herself freely of human opportunities and aids, of earthly and created beauty, for the setting forth of her message; yet she can survive, as can no human society, when she is deprived of her human rights and her acquired wealth. As human she numbers the great multitude of the world's sinners among her children, yet as Divine she has produced the saints. As Divine she bases all her gospel on a Revelation which can be apprehended only by Faith, yet as human she employs the keenest and most profound intellects for its analysis and its propagation. In these and in many other similar points it has been attempted to show why she offers now one aspect and now another to human criticism, and how it is that the very charges made against her become, when viewed in the light of her double claim, actual credentials and arguments on behalf of that claim. Finally, in the meditations upon the Seven Words of Christ, we considered very briefly how, in the hours of the deepest humiliation of His Humanity, He revealed again and again the characteristics of His Divinity. It now remains to consider that point in which she most manifests that double nature of hers and, simultaneously therefore, presents, as in a kind of climax, her identity, under human terms, with Him Who, Himself the Lord of Life, conquered death by submitting to it and, by His Resurrection from the dead, showed Himself the Son of God with power."

Book excerpt: Now those who stand without the walls of the City of Peace know nothing, it is true, of the life that its citizens lead within, nothing of the harmony and consolation that Catholicism alone can give. Yet of certain points, it may be, in the large outlines of that city against the sky, of the place it occupies in the world, of its wide effect upon human life in general, it may very well be that these detached observers may know more than the devout who dwell at peace within. Let us, then, consider their reflections not necessarily as wholly false; it may be that they have caught glimpses which we have missed and relations which either we take too much for granted or have failed altogether to see. It may be that these accusations will turn out to be our credentials in disguise.

V. 9.Do not think that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace but the sword.-MATT. X. 34.We have considered how the key to the Paradoxes of the Gospel and the key to the Paradoxes ofCatholicism is one and the same-that the Life that produces them is at once Divine and Human.Let us go on to consider how this resolves those of Catholicism, especially those charged against usby our adversaries.For we live in a day when Catholicism is no longer considered by intelligent men to be too evidentlyabsurd to be argued with. Definite reasons are given by those who stand outside our borders for theattitude they maintain; definite accusations are made which must either be allowed or refuted.Now those who stand without the walls of the City of Peace know nothing, it is true, of the life thatits citizens lead within, nothing of the harmony and consolation that Catholicism alone can give. Yetof certain points, it may be, in the large outlines of that city against the sky, of the place it occupiesin the world, of its wide effect upon human life in general, it may very well be that these detachedobservers may know more than the devout who dwell at peace within. Let us, then, consider theirreflections not necessarily as wholly false; it may be that they have caught glimpses which we havemissed and relations which either we take too much for granted or have failed altogether to see. Itmay be that these accusations will turn out to be our credentials in disguise.I. Every world-religion, we are told, worthy of the name has as its principal object and its chief claimto consideration its establishing or its fostering of peace among men. Supremely this was so in thefirst days of Christianity. It was this that its great prophet predicted of its work when its DivineFounder should come on earth. Nature shall recover its lost harmony and the dissensions of menshall cease when He, the Prince of Peace, shall approach. The very beasts shall lie down together inamity, the lion and the lamb and the leopard and the kid. Further, it was the Message of Peace that theangels proclaimed over His cradle in Bethlehem; it was the Gift of Peace which He Himselfpromised to His disciples; it was the Peace of God which passeth knowledge to which the great Apostlecommended his converts. This then, we are told, is of the very essence of Christianity; this is thesupreme benediction on the peacemakers that they shall be called the children of God.
