ALL THIS, amounting in text to perhaps one - third of the document, should become the ordinary teaching of the Church without delay. There is no "waiting period” until it be comes true or goes into effect. Rather it sums up and crystallizes Catholic doctrine on sacred worship; it should be the starting point for priests and teachers in their explanat ion of the Church as a wor shiping community. (2) Disciplinary. Under this heading come the norms which will be effective on Feb. 16. They demand the instruction of the people and their full parti cipation in the liturgy now, ir respective of future changes or the introduction of the vernacular languages into worship; they give directions for revised seminary training, so that both studies and spirit ual life will center about the mystery of Christ the Lord celebrated in the liturgy, for the training of priests already in the ministry, for the work of diocesan liturgical commiss ions. In some cases, the re gulations are specific, insist ing for example on the preach ing of semons at all Sunday and holyday Masses when the people are present, commend ing preaching at Masses on other days, etc. While the natural tendency is to look ahead to changes and reforms, the task of liturgi cal education and liturgical participation is immediate, and much of the constitution from Requiem Held LONDON, Ont. (NC)~ Re presentatives of Church and St ate honored the memory of Bis hop John Christopher Cody of London at his funeral mass in St. Peter’s basilica here. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Christians still separated from us, and to Catholics happily un ited.” The Pope labeled the Holy Land Pilgrimage a "journey of offering,” in which he will bring to be most ready to receive it* the Christians still separated from us, and to Catholics hap pily united,” The Pope labeled the Holy Land Pilgrimage a "journey of search and hope” in which he will search "for all those who are fonus sons and brothers in Christ.” It will likewise be a "journey of prayer,” he said, "made with humility and love in our hearts for the whole world. No one will be forgotten.” Obviously referring to some criticism among Arab circles that trip would be political and constitute Vatican recognition of Isreal, he said: the council deals with such pro motion, because "Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that full, conscious, and act ive participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the lit urgy." (3) Episcopal. Much has been written about the authori ty of the groups of bishops in the different countries, regions, or territories of the world. The liturgy constitution changes the present rule which reserves the regulation of public wor ship rather strictly to the Holy See. THE MOST important in stance of this affects the use of the mother tongues in he liturgy. Such concessions have been made by the council it self, but only on condition that the bodies of bishops, acting collectively, take advantage of the concession for their re spective territory. Thus these provisions of .he constitution go into effect, not on Feb. 16, but when he bishops take act ion. So far as the United States is concerned, a preliminary announcement has already been made. The American Bishops agreed, before leaving Rome after the council session, to adopt and accept the constitu tion’s concessions in the matter of language. A general meet ing of the Bishops is expected to take place in the spring when formal approval may be given to official English trans lations of liturgical texts and, it is hoped, a definite date may be set for the vernacular concessions to become effect ive. (4) Papal. The final cate gory comprises the council's mandate directed not to the Church at large but to a com mission which will be set up by the Pope to revise the mis sal, breviary, ritual, etc. The council has decided the princi- ras of Constantinople (Istan bul). "We shall greet respectfully and cordially, whatever be their origin, all whom we shall meet on our way, especially those in authority, the people, the pilg- rams and the tourists, but with out stopping in our hurried pil grim’s journey, and without al lowing outselves to be distract ed from the sole religious pur pose of our trip.” Wins Prize NEW YORK (RNS)— Father Theodore M. Heaburgh, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, was one of four recipients of the 1963 Bill-of Rights Award here at ceremon ies presided over by New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner.

Com mission on Civil Rights, Fat her Hesburgh was cited for distinguished public service in the field of education." pies and the chief points; the implementation must wait until details are worked out. Here conjecture is almost useless. It is easy to pre dict the kinds of changes in the rite of Mass or in the sacramental services; these are clearly indicated in the constitution or in the writings of experts. What is uncertain is the length of time needed; perhaps only weeks or months for broad changes, certainly several years for th e com plete revision of the service books of the liturgy. THE WHOLE picture of the council’s liturgical renewal (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) mos, from his throne. He ac complished this with the aid of Emperor Justinian I and he himself consecrated the next patriarch, Menas, on March 13, 536. Suddenly, on April 22, 536 the Pope died. While in Constantinople, Po pe St. Agapitus also had asked the Emperor not to send troops against the Goths, who then held away in Italy. BUT THE POPE failed beca use eight months after his de ath, the Emperor reconquered Rome. This led to the next pope- patriarch encounter. The Emperor’s wife, Theo dora, was a Monophysite. She was in defiance of Church tea ching, defined at the Council of Chaledon in 451, that Christ had both a human as well as a divine nature. THEODORA FIRST brought about the violent deposing of St. Agapitus’ successor, St. Sil- verius. The next Pope, Vigili— us, was seized and kidnaped by the Emperor while he was at worship in Rome in 545. Pope Vigilius was taken to Constantinople, arriving in547, and held there. In 553 Emperor Justinina summoned the Second Council of Constantinople, ex pecting Vigilius to preside. THE COUNCIL WAS sum moned specifically to seek re union. Catholic and Orthodox leaders, led by Pope Eugene IV and Patriarch Joseph II, reach ed accord on June 8, 1439. However, two days later the Patriarch died and with him went the accord. Orhtodox Christians could not yet forgive the sack of Constantinople and the agreement was popularly repudiated. In 1484, it was for mally voided at an Orthodox synod held in Constantinople. HOWEVER, THE Pope saw the council as an attempt to re pudiate some of the Church’s teaching. He took refuge in the church at Chalcelon and refus ed to appear at the council. By February of 554, the Pope overcome his misgivings and became convinced that the council’s decisions were ortho dox. He confirmed them. may be quickly summed up. Its doctrine on worship should be studied and preached now. Its discipline takes effect on Feb. 16, above all in the act ive participation of the people. Two aspects of the constitu tion must await further action: the use of the vernacular de pends on the approval to be given by the body of bishops; the ritual reform depends on precise decisions to be made by authority of the Pope. In quantity and quality the norms of the constitution on liturgical instruction and acti vity are even more important than the reform. They are at the root of all efforts to renew the Church's spirit. THE PATRIARCH at the time was Eutuichios and it is assu med that in the years the Pope was held in Constantinople he and the Patriarch met. After he confirmed the decis ions of the council, Pope Vigi lius was allowed to journey homeward. But he never made it, dying in Sicily on June 7, 555. THE NEXT MEETING bet ween pope and patriarch came in the middle of the seventh century. As with the preceeding one, the pope was seized and carried off to Constantinople. THE Pope was Martin I. He had condemned the heresy, Monothelism, which taught that Christ had only one will. Emp eror Cons tans II arrested him on June 17, 653, took him to Constantinople, charged him with treason and in 654 senten ced him to death. THROUGH THE intervention of Patriarch Paul II was the sentence commuted—to exile in the Crimea. The Pope died the re in 655. The last encounter before the formal schism in 1054 came when Pope Constiantine I went to Constantinople in 710 at the "invitation” of Emperor Jus tinian IL, Rome and Constantinople had serious differences over can ons adopted by the Council of Trullos in 692. Rome had refu sed to recognize them. Pope Constantine I met the Emperor and the Patriarch, Kyros. Thr ough skillful diplomacy, he was able to avoid confirming the de crees and still keep his throne. HOWEVER, RELATIONS deteriorated badly in the next centuries, culminating in for mal schism in 1054 and a fan atical sack of Constantinople in 1204 by Latin crusaders. The city was destroyed and a Lat in patriarch as well as a Lat in emperor were forcibly inst alled. In the 1430's, an effort was made at reunion, the last en counter between pope and pat riarch. It took place during se ssions of an ecmenical council held in both Ferrara and Flo rence, Italy.
