PAGE 8 GEORGIA BULLETIN THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1964 CARDINAL BEA Pope Paul VI Program Close To Pope John (Continued from Page 1) which still lie ahead of us, they constitute, on the contrary, a mere beginning; a very impor tant and promising beginning, but nevertheless only a beg inning. QUESTION: In view of the quickened pace of developments in the past year, would you care to re vise your earlier estimates of the time that will be needed to achieve the goal of Christian unity? REPLY: 1 should certainly be willing to do so, but we must bear in mind that in this field also, as in many others, surprises are to be expected, unforeseen ob stacles and slowing-down. Faith offers the best solution here. It teaches us that on th* one hand we must not harbor any illusions and that the working of Christ's grace requires hu man cooperation which in its turn requires time. On the other hand, if Christ has asked us to have a faith capable of moving moun tains, He authorizes us to ask of God and to hope for mir acles of grace. All the more so since Christ humself so ardently desires unityjand since mankind today has gr^t need of it in order that Goi’s design upon men may be realized that they may find unity in Christ. QUESTION: , . # What are r * i><- expectations for the coi' session of the Ecumenical/,, ^.ncil? jr REPLY: I expect important things. . This session is called part ly to collect under several headings the fruit of the labors of the two preceding sessions. For example, in regard to the fundamental drafts dealing with the Church, with the bishops, with Divine Revelation, with ec umenism. Together with the annexed declarations more over , it has still to face other important documents, as, for example, drafts on the collaboration of the Catholic laity in the apostolate of the hierarchical church, on the missions, on the training of the clergy, on the Religious orders and congregations, etc. QUESTION: Do you believe it will be pos sible for the council to com plete its work this year? REPLY: I believe it is impossible to make a forecast. Certainly everything must be done to en sure that the work proceed with all freedom but at the same time as speedily as possible. On the other hand, no official declaration has been made so far which would exclude the possibility of a fourth ses sion. QUESTION: Would you care to compare the ecumnical aims and methods of Pope Paul and Pope John? REPLY: We have a saying to the effect that comparisons must not be made between saints, that is to say for the purpose of placing one higher than another. If, therefore, we compare the two pontificates here, we do not do so in order to place one above the other but rather in order to single out the characteristic features of each one. Pope John has undoubtedly the great merit of having stir red up the movement, especial ly by his extrordinary char ismatic personality, by the lovableness and the simplicity of his manner, by making Chr istian unity at least an indirect aim ot the council and finally by addressing to non-Catholic Christians the invitation to take part in the council as obser vers. Pope Paul VI in his turn has made Pope John's line his own. We may go further and say that he has emphasized even mors strongly that Christian unity consitltutes one of the four principal aims of the council. He has moreover brought to bear upon it a great doctrinal and theological competence which casts ever greater light on the problems presented by the meeting between Catholics and non-Catholic Christians. He has furthermore cultivated a vivacious and vigorous per sonal activity to prepare the ground for this meeting and to render it fruitfql. This he has done especially by his pilgri mage to the Holy Land and in a most particular way by his meetings with the Patriarch Athenagoras and the other Or iental Patriarchs. Following on these events comes the recent announce ment concerning the restitution of the most precious relic of the Apostle Saint Andrew to the Metropolitan Orthodox Church of Patras in Greece. The an nouncement was rendered even more beautiful and meaningful by the expressions of esteem and of charity used on this oc casion by the Holy Father in regard to the Greek Orthodox Church. What has been written about the supposed yielding of Pope Paul VI and of his departure from the line and the proposals of Pope John is therefore out of place. . Pope Paul VI is undoubtedly proceeding in quite a personal manner, but at the same time he is keeping con sistently and vigorously to Pope John’s program, which he made his own from the moment of his first radio message less than 24 hours after his elevation to the pontificate.

WILL ASK SUPPORT Groups to Fight Bias ATHEIST MURRAY Finds Catholic Behind ‘Aloha’ HONOLULU, Hawaii (NC)— Atheist Madalyn Murray, who rode to notoriety through the U. S. Supreme Court public school prayer case and more recently by her -brushes with the law in Baltimore, Md., learned Hawaii's governor is a Catholic shortly after her arri val here and exclaimed: "Oh, no. That’s all I need.” The 45-year-old divorcee has indicated she feels Catholics are leading a fight against her. She said she came here seek ing "religious asylum.” GOV. JOHN A. Burns said Mrs. Murray may live peace fully in Hawaii indefinitely— unless she has violated Mary land laws which require her extradition. A spokesman for the governor added: "There is no religious or anti-religious persecution in Hawaii.” Mrs. Murray was the central figure in the U.S. Supreme Court case, which led to the banning of required and devotional Bible reading and prayer in the na tion’s public schools. SHE AND HERfamily became embroiled with Baltimore courts and police in early June after Dr. and Mrs. Leonard J, Abramovitz claimed Mrs. Mur ray had induced their daughter, Susan, to leave home and aban don her Jewish faith. It later developed the atheist’s son, Bill, 18, and the Abramovitz girl were married secretly. There were several scuffles between members of the Mur ray family and police over the litigation and charges of as saulting policemen were made against members of the Murray family.
