Angelo Roncalli served in the double capacity as Apostolic Delegate in Turkey and Greece from 1935 to 1944, His residence was in Istanbul, Turkey, but he made frequent trips to Greece and learned to speak modern Greek. UNFAVORABLE ATMOSPHERE Greece in the ‘30s was not a happy place for the nation’s 50,000 Catholics. The Greek Or thodox Church, a state institu tion, was hostile to the Catholic Church. It feared the similarity of the Catholic Byzantine rite with the Orthodox rites and it watched Catholic institutions grow and prosper with uncon cealed suspicion. In the 1930’s the Greek Par liament discussed laws forbid ding Catholics from proselytiz ing among members of the Or thodox faith. The state recog nized only those marriages con tracted in Orthodox churches. Mixed marriages celebrated in Catholic churches were declared invalid. Moreover, the Orthodox op posed the presence of a Latin Catholic archbishop in Athens and fought the erection of a Byzantine rite Catholic cathe dral. Despite the seemingly \mfav- orable atmosphere, the new Delegate was on friendly terms with both officials and private citizens, many of them non- Catholics. He had, during his nine years there, many talks with King George and Prime Minister Metaxas. The first five years of his GOING TO THE PICKRICK? BILL DALY'S RED BARN CE. 3-4625 • CE. 3-4531 C.

In his first year as Delegate he visited Greece three times and toured all the Catholic com munities, bringing financial help. He also gave help, when ever it was possible, to the Or thodox and worked constantly to ease tensions. As he had done in Bulgaria and as he was doing in Turkey, Angelo Roncalli sought always to clear away misunderstand ings. He had a talent for func tioning well in difficult circum stances and in achieving suc cess without leaving enemies in his wake. Among the things he succeed ed in winning for the Catholic Church in Greece was permis sion to build a Byzantine rite cathedral. He overcame Ortho dox objections by pointing out that it would be built on the foundations of an ancient By zantine cathedral, erected prior to the separation of the Ortho dox Church from Rome. Again he demonstrated his ability to come up with pleasing solutions when it was agreed that the Byzantine rite Catholic bishop of Athens should be giv en jurisdiction over all Greek Catholics, even those in Turkey. This pleased the national pride of the Greeks. When, in 1938, the Greek Par liament passed a law against proselytizing which included censorship of Catholic books by Orthodox authorities, he cam paigned quietly and won easing of the laws’ restrictions. He did not campaign against the one-sided marriage laws. To try to alter them would have touched the sensibilities of the Orthodox clergy. Instead, he ob tained recognition of the Latin rite Archbishop of Athens, a major accomplishment in a country that regarded the Ro man Church with deep suspi cion. INVASION OF GREECE As threats of war grew, Arch bishop Roncalli did his best as part of the over-ail effort to dis courage Italy from invading Al bania and Greece. Pope Pius XII did everything possible to dissuade Mussolini from enter ing the war and from attacking Greece. Archbishop Roncalli in formed leaders in Athens and Greek diplomats in Ankara, Turkey, of the Pope’s desparate but futile efforts. Greece’s invasion and the tragic events which followed gave the future Pope the oppor tunity of helping the entire Greek people. The documents which tell of his activities in wartime Greece were discovered almost by accident. They were found by the Greek historian Venesis who, after the war, re organized the library and ar chives of the late Greek Ortho dox Archbishop Damaskinos of Athens. By 1941 the situation in Greece was disasterous. Food supplies were almost exhausted. The Orthodox Archbishop Dam askinos decided that the only course of action was to appeal to the occupying authorities for permission to ask the Allies for food stuffs. At the same time, Archbishop Roncalli, quite independently, discussed Greece’s problem with the German and Italian ambas sadors in Ankara. They indi cated their willingness to help but said they could do nothing until the Greeks asked for aid. Archbishop Damaskinos went to the German military com mander in Athens, General Al- tenberg, and humbling himself before the victor and asked him for permission to contact the allies for a minimum shipment of 350,000 tons of wheat. The German commander asked the Archbishop who the inter midiary with the “enemy” would be. The Orthodox Archbishop an swered firmly that he intended to work with a Christian Church with which the Ortho dox had once been in union — the Roman Catholic Church. Archbishop Roncalli, mean while, arrived in Athens in Au gust, 1941. He began his own charitable activities. He set up an information bureau to be co ordinated with the Vatican in formation bureau for contact with prisoners of war. Many Catholic and non-Catholic wel fare organizations began receiv ing funds and food and medical supplies through the Pope’s representative. APPEAL TO POPE While in Athens, he learned of Archbishop Damaskino’s ■ plan. Characteristically, Angelo Roncalli took the initiative. He knew that it had been humiliat ing for the Greeks to go to the Germans. To save them further pain he decided to contact the Orthodox Archbishop without waiting for him to make the first move. He sent a message to Damas kinos asking him if he would meet with him and left the Archbishop free to choose the site of the meeting. This pro tected Damaskinos from pos sible public embarrassment and criticism. It also made it clear to the Archbishop that the Ca tholic Delegate regarded him self as a guest in the country where Damaskinos was not only the host but of higher rank. The first meeting was held in the Paleophaleron Palace in the apartment of Clement Maneas, President of the Greek Chamber of Commerce. A second meeting was held a few days later at the same palace. The notes and letters found in the archives of the late Or thodox Archbishop described how Damaskinos informed Ron calli that the Greek Orthodox church had already contacted the occupation forces and had been given permission to contact the Allies for food supplies. Damaskinos told Archbishop Roncalli that the Greek Church willingly requested the good offices of the Holy See to inter vene with the British govern ment so that the plan could be put into effect. He then handed the papal representative a letter appealing to Pope Pius XII for help. It was signed by the high est lay leaders of the Greek Or thodox then in the country. Angelo Roncalli assured Dam askinos that the letter would be forwarded and then asked if he wished to communicate with the Greek government in exile in London on the same matter. The offer was accepted. He was given a letter to a member of the exile govern ment which summed up the desperate situation in Greece, saying in part “one thousand men, women and children are dying daily of starvation.” The Orthodox Archbishop also wrote “You know by now that we request that at least 350,000 tons of wheat should be sent from Australia to the Greek people. This suggestion came from the Holy See.” The letter left Athens with Archbishop Roncalli and went via diplomatic facilities of the Vatican first to Rome and then to Lisbon and ultimately to the exile government in London. KISS OF PEACE The Delegate’s quick action in regard to Damaskinos’ project was instrumental in saving the Greek people from starvation. The plan devised by Greek pa triots and Damaskinos gradual ly was put into effect. The wheat was largely paid for by the Vatican with the help of the Ca tholics of the United States and of Greeks living abroad. It is said that, when Arch bishop Roncalli and the Greek Orthodox Metropolitan of Ath ens, Damaskinos, separated at their last meeting they parted with the kiss of peace. This embrace is a gesture of brother hood and love, the sign of for giveness and peace. It is used In the liturgy of both Catholic and Orthodox. At the end of the war the mis trust of the Greek Orthodox Church toward Rome lessened considerably. In a ceremony commemorating the war’s end in 1945, the Catholic Archbishop of Athens and the Orthodox Archbishop stood side by side. In his almost 20 years in the Near East nations of Bulgaria, Turkey and Greece, Archbishop Angelo Roncalli was in intimate contact with the world of Or thodox Christianity. His call for an ecumenical council to explore the possibili ty of the reunion of Christen dom after he became Pope, re flects Archbishop Roncalli’s per sonal experiences and long study. From 1925 to 1944 he was the principal channel of the Holy See in question of union. TIME RUNS OUT Archbishop Giacomo Testa, present Apostolic Delegate in Turkey and one-time collabora tor of Archbishop Roncalli, re calls that the future Pope once visited the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Benjamin II to bring him quasi-official notice of the election of Pope Pius XII, a gesture that had not been made for centuries. The former Latin rite Bishop of Corfu likewise recalls that Archbishop Roncalli liked to knock on the doors of Orthodox monasteries to admire and pray before their ancient icons, to study the mosaics and old man uscripts. Thus he went to salute the monks at the famous Mount Athos monastery who were sur prised to find among them the MARRIAGES -O SCHEID-LONG -O AUGUSTA — Miss Harridell Long, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Harris Long of Augusta and Mrs. Robert William Scheid, son of Mr. and Mrs. William N.
