ters.” In similar language the
sacraments, the daily prayer or
of ice, and the Church year are
explained.
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

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.”

NEW YORK (RNS)— Father
Theodore M. Heaburgh, C.S.C.,
president of the University of
Notre Dame, was one of four

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.

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.

"Once again we declare clea
rly that the nature and purposes
of our pilgrimage are solely re
ligious.”
HE ADDED that his journey
would be one of "search for all
those who are for us sons and
brothers in Christ. . . .”
"And our heart will reach out
also to those outside the fold
of Christ, and our good inten
tions will embrace all the peo
ples of the earth, those far and
near, with sentiments of res
pect antj of love, wishing them
happiness and peace. . . .’’
"It will thus be a journey of
prayer, made with humility and
with love. In our heart will be
present the whole world. No one
will be forgotten.”

FROM PETER ... TO PAUL
When Pope Paul VI visits the Holly Land next month (the
first time since St. Peter a Pope will have been in the Holy

built there. The chapels, many of them, are memorials—-built
by grateful sons and daughters in memory of their parents. Thq
chapels are filled on Sunday mornings with poor people who
now have a place to worship God . . . We need more chafcejs
in our mission world—in countries like PALESTINE, IRAN.
