GREEK PRIEST
Orthodox Won’t
Recognize Pope
CHICAGO (NC)—A Greek Or
thodox priest said here that
"the Orthodox Church will nev
er accept" recognition of the
pope as the Vicar of Christ
on earth.
"This is the main obstacle
to unity between the Roman
and the Orthodox Church," said
Father John Hondras, pastor
of St. Andrew Greek Orthodox
church in Chicago, at an
ecumenical forum at Loyola
University.
HE STATED, however, that
"Catholicism and Orthodoxy do
not oppose each other," and
"intrinsically they are one."
"Their doctrinal expressions
vary here and there," he con
tinued, "but after explanation,
most of the seeming differences
arc seen to be merely the re
sult of different outlooks on the
Marist Guild
same doctrine. The schism was
created mainly by the question
of the pope but also by conflicts
between two different mentalit
ies and culture, expressions of
different backgrounds."
"We believe," Father Hon
dras stated, "that the Second
Vatican Council can go a long
way in declaring that Roman
Catholics sincerely want to
work toward the One Church
whose only head is Christ. . .
But if the RomanCatholicChur
ch insists and looks for union
by expecting the Orthodox to
submit to Rome, union will
never be accomplished and the
Church will never again be one,
as Our Lord prayed some 2,000
years ago."
HE SAID that insofar as the
council is concerned, "the Or
thodox Church considers it is
a Roman Catholic council con
vened to discuss the internal
affairs of the Roman Catholic
Church, and not as an 'ecumen
ical council’."
Meets Here
Three Atlanta families were
guests of the Marist Seminary
Guild, Atlanta Chapter, last
week at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. A. j. Schaefle.
Father Hondras asserted that
"a true ecumenical council is
one in which all Christian bis
hops are present — and not
merely as " 'Guests’ - in a home
they have an equal claim to,
not as observers who do nothing
but listen, but as equals, as
equal members."
The dinner, prepared and
brought by members of the
Guild, was highlighted with re
ports from Mrs. C. A. Mallin-
son, Mr. and Mrs. V.. A. Pea
cock and Mrs. Ellen J. Whyte,
on the ordination of their sons
on Feb. 2. Members and guests
were impressed with the beau
ty of the ordination ceremony as
illustrated by the many colored
pictures, which the parents had
taken at the Shrine in Washing
ton, D. C.
"If it is true," he stated,
"that the origin of the Vatican
council, which tends to be for
gotten today, was the pope's
desire for rapprochement with
Orthodox, invitations to partici
pate on an equal basis should
have been sent to the Orthodox
Church."

RUSSIAN orthodox say
Rome Relations
BERLIN (NC)--The Russian
Orthodox Church has never
stopped believing in a "possible
rapprochement in the future"
with the Roman Catholic Church,
according to an article in the
official journal of the Orthodox
Patriarchate of Moscow.
The article, signed by A. Ka-
zem Bek of the Moscow pat
riarchate commented favorably
on the address His Holiness
Pope John XXIII delivered last
October 10 at the solemn open
ing of the Second Vatican Coun
cil.
"IN HIS speech the Pope
manifested wonderful optimism
In relation to the times we are
living through," it said. "We
hope the Roman Catholic Church
will occupy a worthy place
among the peaceful forces ac
tively striving for a stable, just
international peace.
Then it stated that "the pre
ceding pontificate of Pope Pius
XII helped little to create mu
tual understanding between
Christians of various beliefs".

K’ RELATIVE
COLOGNE, Germany (RNS)
— The wisdom of granting a
papal audience to Premier
Khrushchev’s son-in-law was
questioned here by an editor who
is a prominent Catholic layman.
Otto B, Roegele, chief editor
of Rheinischer Merkur, ex
pressed uneasiness about the
Pope's "de facto recognition of
the Communist co-existence
theory."
MR. ROEGELE is chairman
of the Association of German
Catholic Journalists, and his
paper is a respected pro-gov
ernment and pro-Catholic
weekly.
His article appeared on the
heeli of one In L’Eilresso,
and independent weekly maga
zine published in Rome, which
charged that the Pope wa» going
"too fir to the left" in giving
an audience to Alexei Adzhu
bei. The magazine alio said
that Weat German Chancellor
Adenauer "publicly censured
what he described as the Im
prudence of Pope John."
Mr. Roegele laid the Pope's
motives In granting the audience
were of a pastoral and non-
political nature. Out he charged
that the "de facto recognition"
of the co-existence theory
"marks a trlmph for Khrush
chev."
M A PONTIFF who in 1959
reinstated (Franz) von Papen
as Papal Chamberlain and on
the eve of the Italian elections
receives Khrushchev’s son-in-
law in private audience has
broken with the tradition of
Vatican policy," the editor said.
Improve
It was following the announ
cement of his replacement in
Geneva that Father Borovoy
went to the United States with
15 other Soviet church leaders
for a three-week visit as guests
of the (U.S.) National Council
of Churches.
(Herr von Papen, who served
as Germany's vice-chancellor
and in other important posts
under Hitler, was originally
awarded the title by Pope Pius
XI.)
Mr. Roegele said the new
course of Vatican policy may
have important political effects,
Including some of an unde
sirable nature.
He said the complexity of the
present situation is reminiscent
of the dilemma that confronted
Church leaders during the Nazi
era.
NOTING that the Pope has
not spoken out against commu
nism as often as his prede
cessors, Mr. Roegele said this
is not because he fears Pre
mier Khrushchev orlacka sym
pathy for the "Church of Sil
ence" but because he hopes to
establish a "bearable" modus
vivendi with the Communlet
leaders.
"Whether thia calculation la
correct, no one can say today,"
Mr. Roegela aald. "Out that It
involves risks — particularly
that of softening up the West —
will have been realized alao by
the Pope."

Disunity Among
Christians Hit
CLEVELAND (NC) — A Pax
Romans official said here that
a long range hope of the Second
Vatican Council Is an eliminat
ion of the "scandalous" com
petition among Christian sects
in mission lands.
He emphasized that Pax Ro-
mana is not a "movement" but
rather a patient day-by - day
working toward preparing young
Catholics for a unity of Christ
ianity that appears to be coming.
Maurice A. Maggi, adult di
rector of Pax Romana, an in-
temation Catholic organization
which represents most college
student groups, which has head
quarters in Fribourg, Switzer
land, is one of several laymen
engaged in preparing Catholic
youth for the increasing ecum
enical movement in the Church.
BASING his opinion on visits
to India, Hong Kong, Formosa,
the Philippines and Japan, Mag
gi said that worse than dis
unity among Christians is that
the same disunity has prevent
ed the acceptance of the Gos
pels by millions in mission
nations.
He said in mission count
ries, where natives have never
heard of Christ, they hear of
Catholics, Methodist, Luthe
rans and others preaching the
"Gospel of love" while throw
ing verbal brickbats at each
other.
"Many of those people would
accept Christianity, but watch
ing Christians quarrel with each
other they wonder, which form,
which sect?" he said. "They be
come confused and with a ’why
bother’ sense remain with their
old pagan ways."
MAGGI said the move to pro
mote ecumenical discussions
among college students took
concrete form last year at an
international convention of Pax
Romana in Montevideo, Uru
guay.
Father Anthony J. Elfrink,
M.S.F., who served in the
missions of Brazil after 17
years of mission service in
Indonesia, has been touring
the U. S. since 1958 in behalf
of the Holy Family Fathers
in Ciato, Brazil. A native of
Holland. Father Elfrink re
ports that because of the
anti-clerical feelings of peo
ple in large cities in South
America, the lay apostle is
of great value.
Cardijn Honored
BRUSSELS (NC)—Msgr. Jo
sef Cardijn, founder of the In
ternational Young Christian
Workers' movement, was given
Germany’s Grand Cross of the
Order of Achievement by the
German ambassador to Belgium
Kurt Oppler, for his efforts on
behalf of young workers in Ger
many.
From that meeting came the
concerted effort of the Catholic
traveling businessmen, who
spend their spare time in var
ious cities carrying out a lay
apostolate, rather than reading
travel folders, he said.
