END DIVISIONS
Cardinal Urges Catholics,
Orthodox To Unity Work
SI

ittle-Known Facts for Catholics
E
NEWTON, Mass. (RNS) —
Roman Catholicism and Eastern
Orthodoxy ’.\ere urged here to
end the division that has se
parated them for nine centuries.
Richard Cardinal Cushing,
Archbishop of Boston, made the
appeal in an address before the
Boston College Theological
Colloquium marking the Jesuit
university's 100th anniversary.
His plea was heard by many
Protestant and Orthodox theolo
gians in the audience.
HE CALLED for “serious
efforts" by Roman Catholics for
unity with the Orthodox, and
asked forgiveness for Catholi
cism's role in the events which
led to the schism between East
and West.
In an hour-long lecture Car
dinal Cushing urged a greater
interest in the history' of the
"separated Churches," with
added emphasis on the careful
translation of Eastern writings
into various writings, includ
ing, English, Russian and Mo
dern Greek.
"That work must be extended
and widened," the prelate said.
"There is need of post-gradu
ate scholars; there is need of
fellowships which will enable
men of ability to devote them
selves to the study of the hist
ory and the traditions of our
Churches. And so 1 venture to
speak a word of encouragement
to all our Catholic universities
and colleges — indeed to all
universities and colleges
and to ask them if it would
be possible for them to do even
more in the realm of scholar

clearly and be more widely
known and appreciated."
CARDINAL Cushing said Cat
holics "must roll up our sleeves
and work...to build a bridge be
tween East and West."
He reminded the conference
that the Orthodox object to the
terminology sometimes used in
connection with unity proposals.
He cited such references as
"the Orthodox must be led back;
must 'submit’ and must 'return
to obedience.’ "
Roman Catholics, he said,
must now approach the Ortho
dox "to ask forgiveness and to
come with us to lay together
our gifts upon God’s altar.”
THE prelate added:
"Many advantages would
come from reconciliation with
our Orthodox brethern, the
happiness of friendship and
trust instead of the misery of
hostility and suspicion. Un
believers would no longer be
able to mock and jibe that
Christians preach charity and
unity but practice division and
dissension. Apostolic work
would be aided by coordinated
and combined efforts. The glory
of the Church would shine more
conspicuously through the
manifestation of its unity amid
diversity.
"But all these things are sec
ondary to the love of Christ.
It is for His sake, not for ours,
that we seek unity.
"The Churches of the East
and the West are living in a
new situation and are facing new
problems. We are all well aware
of it. There is need to put the
timeless and unchangeable Ch
ristian message into forms and
language capable of Influencing
the men of our time. There is
need of adaptation — and
we all agree on this.
"But adaptation to new sit
uations and new experiences can
only be the evolution of what
the Church already possess.
Her expression of the faith
grows throughout the centuries,
but remains none other than
that which her Founder wills
to have and to develop: how
could it be otherwise, since it
is He who In a true sense pre
aches and sanctifies Himself in
His faith?
"AND IT follows that the
tradition of the fathers is the
foundation and the guide of all
’adaptation,’ of all 'modemiz-

ation’ of ’the salvation action
of God’ as it comes to us in
our time. We need freshness,
the vitality and the strength that
can come to us from the Fat
hers of the Church, both East
ern and Western, for they, like
us, faced new problems and met
them, making the Christian
truth understandable and at
tractive to the men of their time.
At our peril do we neglect that
vital and powerful tradition of
Christianity which enabled the
Church in the early centuries
to meet the most formidable
assaults and to enable humility
to conquer the pride of this
world."
A major portion of the lecture
dealt with the role of Sacred
Scripture in unity proposals.
Cardinal Cushing noted that the
Scripture has been an important
part in ecumenical discussion
among Protestants and Cat
holics.
THE 200 cholars partici
pating in the conference in
cluded Father Hans Kueng,
Swiss- born theologian from
Germany who lectured earlier
at the Jesuit university. His
lecture then was given in the
presence of Cardinal Cushing
and Orthodox Metropolitan At-
henagoras of Canada.
Cardinal Cushing predicted
that many grievances expressed
by Catholics of the Eastern Rite
in union with Rome would be
settled by the Second Vatican
Council. Among the complaints
he recalled were those of Pat
riarch Maximos IV and the
Greek Melkite hierarchy:
"1. The Oriental patriarchs
are made inferior to cardinals,
which Is a failure to recognize
the traditional setup of the Ch
urch.
”2. Converts in the East are
allowed to choose either the
Oriental or the Latin Rite. In
the West, Am erica for example,
they are allowed only into the
Latin Rite. They say this is,
in effect, an attempt to suffo
cate the Oriental Rites.
”3. The permission granted
— only after the intervention
of Pope John XXIII to use Eng
lish, or a modern language,
in rites of Oriental origin, is
restricted in a way which is
unliturglcal, that is, the use
of the vernacular Is limited in
a way which makes the rite
a hodge-podge. Some must be
in the ancient language, and
there Is a mixture of the anc
ient language and the modern
language which is quite unjust
ified.
”4. The faculties granted to
Eastern patriarchs are merely
the same as those granted to
Latin archbishops, and this is
a failure to recognize the trad
itions of the East.
”5. The Roman Curia wants
a Latin patriarch of Jerusalem.
But this is an insult to the
Orientals.
"6. In general, the compla
int is made in different forms
that the Curia and specifically
in the new code for the Ori
entals favors Latinizations,
contrary to the promises of
many Popes."

New Encyclical
Outlines 6 Order’
NEW YORK (NC) —Father
John Courtney Murray, S.J.,
believes the significance of
Pope John XXIII’s new peace
encyclical is that it outlines an
"order" for the "new era of
history....that is clearly with
us."
The "order" envisaged in
Pope John's encyclical, Father
Murray writes in America
magazine, (April 27), is one
based on freedom.
"THE WHOLE burden of the
encyclical is that the order
for which the postmodern world
is looking cannot be an order
that is imposed by force, or
sustained by coercion, or based
on fear," he says.
"The summation of the
Pope’s thought is in the sentence
which asserts that all order,
If it is to be qualified as re
asonable and human, must be
’founded on truth, built accord
ing to justice, vivified and in
tegrated by charity, and put in
to practice in freedom’," he
says.
Father Murray, a professor
at Woodstock (Md.) College, is
a specialist in Church-State
questions. He was recently
named an expert for the se
cond session of the ecumenical
council.
HE SAYS of the encyclical
Pacem In Terris that it con
tains "not the slightest note of
nostalgia, nor of lament over the
past course of history or over
the current situation that hist
ory has evoked here on earth."
"The Pope confronts all the
facts of political, social, econo
mic and cultural change that
have been the product of the
modern era," he says.
Discussing the distinction
made by Pope John between
"historical movements" with
specific economic, social, cul
tural, or political ends, and the
"false philosophical teachings"
which may originally have ani
mated such movements, he ex
presses the belief that the Pope
is referring to the continental
brand of socialism although the
distinction "perhaps....has so
me relevance to the whole
Marxist movement."
"IN ANY case," he says,
"I should think that the dist
inction may be given full ap
plication in regard of the 18th
and 19th century movements
toward political freedom."
Viewed in this way, he says,
Pope John's distinction "dis
solves the whole problematic of
Leo XIII, whose great conflict
was with continental, sectarian
liberalism."
FATHER Murray says the en
cyclical "shows no disposition
to come to terms, in some man
ner of false peace, with the
doctrinal content" of com
munism.
But at the same time, he adds,
"there may be some warrant
for the thought that the spirit
of confident hope which the Pon
tiff courageously embraces
fails to take realistic account
of the fundamental schism in
the world today."
He says the Pope's message
appears to be that "we must
not ...feel ourselves to be trap
ped in history, unable to control
world events.

NCCJ Head Hails Encyclical
ATLANTA. GEORGIA
NEW YORK (RNS) — Pope
John XXIII's new encyclical,
Pacem in Terris, was hailed
here as a timely "masterpiece"
of far - reaching significance
by Dr. Lewis Webster Jones,
president of the National Con
ference of Christians and Jews.
He said the Conference
"joins with all men of goodwill
in gratitude" for this pronoun-
which "will be widely under
stood as an emphatic rebuke to
all isolationsists, narrow nat
ionalists, racists and thosewho
rely upon mass retaliation."
DR. JONES said the encycli
cal was "very encouraging to
the NCCJ, which has long been
engaged in activities based up
on the same principles which
underlie Pope John's message
to the world."
Noting that the timing of the
encyclical — coinciding with the
Christian and Jewish holy days
— "makes it doubly effective,"
he said it "will be a stimulus
and resource for dialogue gro
ups, ours and others across the
nation, and will give added im
petus to our project on Re
ligious Freedom and Pulbic Af
fairs."
The NCCJ project, initiated
in 1961, is designed to raise
the general level of public un
derstanding and discussion on
issues of public concern about
which religious groups differ.

COMPREHENSIVE
World’s Fair
To Feature
Religious Representation
Scheduled to open just one
year from now, the New York
World’s Fair of 1964-65 will
have a religious representation
unsurpassed since the first in
ternational fair was held in
London, England, in 1851.
The 1939 World’s Fair in
New York had a Temple of
Religion, a joint Protestant, Ro
man Catholic and Jewish pro
ject which provided visitors
with a quiet place of retreat
and meditation. The World’s
Fair at Brussels in 1958 feat
ured a Vatican Pavilion and
a Protestant Pavilion. The Sea
ttle (Wash.) World’s Fair last
year included a Protestant-
sponsored Christian Witness
Pavilion.
RELIGIOUS representation
will be much more comprehens
ive when the long-planned World
Fair opens at Flushing Meadows
in April, 1964, with close to 50
countries taking part, according
to current estimates.
The New York pair will al
so have a Vatican and a Pro
testant Pavilion. But in addition
there will be a Billy Graham
Pavilion and a Christian Scien
tist one, as well as an exhibit
constructed and sponsored by
the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints (Mormon).
It had been expected that there
would also be a Jewish pavi
lion at the Fair. Negotiations
had even been begun to ex
hibit there Dead Sea Scrolls
currently housed in the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem.
HOWEVER, it was announced
that plans for the pavilion had
been dropped by the Synagogue
Council of America, and agency
representing six Jewish re
ligious bodies. Reason givenfor
the decision was the difficulty
of embarking on a campaign to
raise the $1,000,000 needed for
the project in view of educati
onal and other pressing com
munity needs.
Michelangelo’s great work
would be "the greatest single
attraction at the Fair." In a
message on the occasion of the
groundbreaking ceremony for
the Vatican Pavilion, Pope John
said the Fair "will bear test
imony to what the genius and
labors of men have been able
to accomplish for the progress
of civilization."
Also, the pontiff added, it
will contribute, "without doubt,
to the solidarity of people and
to their fruitful elaboration for
the welfare of humanity."
GROUNDBREAKING cere
monies were held last Novem
ber for the 76,000 square feet
Protestant Pavilion, which is
being sponsored by the Pro
testant Council of the City of
New York at a cost of $1,
500,000.
v
Presiding at the event was
Dr. Arthur L. Kinsolving, the
Council's president and rector
of St. James' Episcopal church.
The major speaker on the oc
casion was Robert Moses, pre
sident of the World's Fair, who
commented on the fact that the
Soviet Union had abandoned
plans to be represented at the
Fair.
Remarking that with the Com
munists pulling out, there was
more room available for reli
gious exhibits, he added: "We
have more space available for
our own ideologies, and into
this space the ‘Saints Have
Come Marching In."
The Protestant Pavilion will
have at its theme: "Jesus Ch
rist— the Light of the World."
It will feature an illuminated
cross, a Court of Protestant
Pioneers, a theater showing a
new wide-screen film on the
Gospel, a children’s center and
a music garden. Also In the
pavilion will be exhibits spon
sored by, major Protestant de
nominations and related organi
zations.
hopeful," he said, "that our
pavilion will make some small
contribution in helping the world
to choose God and Peace."
The pavilion sponsored by the
Mother Church, The First Ch
urch of Christ Scientist in Bos
ton, Mass., will be built on a
3,800 square foot area and will
rise 35 feet in the form of a
seven-pointed star. The build
ing, set in a pool of water
100 feet in diameter, will be
surrounded by 14 Illuminated
fountains.
Topping the aluminum and
glass pavilion will be a trans
parent dome throwing light thr
oughout the interior. Next to
the main exhibition hall will be
a smaller building serving as
a reading room and office space.
THE MORMON Pavilion, for
which ground was broken in
March, is being erected on a
50,000 square foot plot. It will
feature a 127-foot spire, flank
ed by two smaller towers, re
plicas of the east spire of the
famed Mormon Temple In Salt
Lake Citu, where the Church has
its international headquarters.
The main tower will be top
ped by a gilded statue of the
Angel Moroni. Behind and flank
ing the two smaller towers
will be twin halls which will
exhibit displays of the Church’s
work around the world. In ad
dition, two theaters, each seat
ing about 350 persons, will show
films dealing with Mormonism,
Theme of the pavilion is "Man’s
Search for Happiness."
THE WORLD’S Fair will
open April 22, 1964 and run to
the following Oct. 18. It will
resume on April 21, 1965 and
continue until Oct. 17. The Un
isphere, a 13-story globe of
stainless steel will symbolize
Peace through understanding.
Participating in the Fair will
be many new African nations
and Latin American countries.
This week witnessed the
breaking of ground for the Billy
Graham Pavilion, designed by
Edward Durell Stone, one of the
world’s leading architects, and
housing an air-conditioned the-
ater-in-the-round with a seat
ing capacity of about 600.
The ceremony took place a
day after Francis Cardinal
Spellman, Archbishop of New
York, visited die World’s Fair
site along with some 40 priests
from dioceses along the Eas
tern seaboard, Attending a
luncheon with Fair officials, he
announced that collections
would be taken up in Catholic
churches around the country to
finance the Vatican Pavilion,
which will cost approximately
$2,000,000.
THE CARDINAL also an
nounced that in addition to hous
ing Michelangelo's famed "Pie-
ta" — which is being brought
on loan from St. Peter’s Basi
lica in Rome with the approval
of Pope John XXIII — the pavi
lion will have on display a re
plica of the excavations carri
ed on under Catholicism’s great
mother church.
Pope John last November
pressed a switch in the Vatican
that sent a signal starting pile
- driving operations for the Vat
ican Pavilion. Located on an
oval-shaped plot of land mea
suring 50,000 square feet, it
will be surmounted by a lan
tern and a cross. The struc
ture will rise to about 100 feet
and measure 208 feet In length
and 135 feet in width. It will
have a chapel, where Masses
will be offered daily.
TWO LUTHERAN bodies have
leased 800 square feet of floor
space in the pavilion. They are
the Lutheran Church in Ameri
ca's New Youk Synod and the
Lutheran Church- Missouri
Synod’s Atlantic District.
Meanwhile, representatives of
the American Lutheran Church
pledged cooperation in the Lut
heran exhibit. Expressing hope
that the denomination would
contribute financially, they said
specific plans for the design and
content of the exhibit, would
be announced later.
The Billy Graham Pavilion
will occupy about 25,000 square
feet of space near the main
entrance to the Fair grounds.
An evangelistic motion picture
will be shown in the pavilion
during part of each hour, and
trained counselors will be on
hand to talk with persons who
have seen the film and other
visitors to the pavilion.
ACCORDING to Dr. Graham,
the Fair will provide an un
paralleled opportunity for the
Christian faith to present its
message of peace and hope
to millions of people of all
races and cultures. "We are
While the Fair will mirror
the great changes of science and
technology, many museums,
galleries, universities and hist
orical organizations will coope

great cultural Interest.
It is estimated that 40,000,000
persons will visit the Fair in
1964 and 30,000,000 in 1965.

FAIR OFFICIALS credited
Cardinal Spellman with 18
months of "tireless efforts"
in securing the Pope’s permiss
ion for shipping the 3,000
pound "Pieta" from Rome.
However, the cardinal said the
credit belonged Instead to the
Pope, who was "delighted" to
do it for two reasons: because
millions could see the master
piece of religious art who or
dinarily could not go to Rome,
and as a way of showing his
gratitude "for all that Ameri
ca has done for the poor people
of the world."
