> PAGE 6 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1963 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." South Deanery NCCW Meet Father James Harnett, S.M., Director of the Guild, presided at the meeting.

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."

IN MISSIONS 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. 4.80” PER ANNUM Paid Quarterly . con mean HIGHER RETIREMEtl!
