CINCINNATI
Archbishop Elko Is
Latin-Rite Auxiliary
WASHINGTON (NC) -
Pope Paul VI has appointed
Byzantine-rite Archbishop
Nicholas Elko an auxiliary
bishop in Archbishop Paul
Liebold’s Latin-rite
archdiocese of Cincinnati.
The announcement by the
Apostolic Delegate in the
United States gave no further
details. Usually, an
Eastern-rite Catholic bishop is
assigned to an Eastern-rite
jurisdiction rather than one
of the Latin or Western rite.
While Archbishop Elko was
bishop of the Byzantine-rite
diocese of Pittsburgh, he was
called to Rome in December
1966 during the height of a
controversy in his diocese.
It was reported at the time
that the Congregation of the
Oriental Church in Rome was
studying Bishop Elko’s
administration because of
charges by a group of priests
in his diocese.
The priests had contended
that Bishop Elko had failed
to carry out directives of
Vatican Council II. Neither
Vatican nor diocesan officials
would comment at the time.
In October 1967, while
Bishop Elko remained in
Rome, the Vatican
announced that, on an appeal
from Bishop Elko, Pope Paul
took the investigation out of
the hands of the Oriental
Congregation and named a
special commission of two
bishops and a cardinal to
study the case.
Two months later Bishop
Elko was named Titular
Archbishop of Dara and
simultaneously resigned from
the Byzantine-rite diocese of
Pittsburgh.
It was reported then that
the Pope’s special
commission, acknowledged
the priestly integrity of
Archbishop Elko. Such
integrity, the commission
said, was never a matter of
doubt or discussion.
The commission
concluded, however, that it
would be inopportune for
Archbishop Elko to return to
the pastoral administration of
the Pittsburgh diocese.

Harsh Words For ‘Professional Theologians’
ZAGREB, Yugoslavia (NC)
— American Cardinal John
Wright, head of the Vatican’s
central office for diocesan
priests, has cast a quizical eye
at some Catholic
“professional theologians
who are playing fast and
loose with the faith.”
The cardinal was a
principal speaker Aug. 14 at
the 13th International Marian
Congress, which opened here
two days earlier with 800
official participants and
hundreds of pilgrims.
Cardinal Wright, prefect of
the Congregation for the
Clergy, delivered a speech of
almost 3,000 words on the
theme, “Cardinal Newman’s
emphasis on Mary as the
Second Eve.”

cardinal devoted his opening
remarks to observations
recently made by Orthodox
theologians against
“erroneous humanism” found
among some Catholic
professional theologians
today.
Cardinal Wright said the
Orthodox theologians
“expressed the fear that this
disorientation in theology
and the fast spread of secular
theology by these and like
theologians would reduce
steadily the chances for
Christian reuion.”
The American cardinal said
“one cannot deny the
fraternal correction by these
Orthodox brethern,” but he
added: “One must make a
single correction.” He
explained:
“The Orthodox critics of
‘professional theologians’
who play fast and loose with
the faith referred to them as
‘Roman theologians.’ They
are, of course, nothing of the
sort, as they would be the
first to insist.”
Cardinal Wright declared
that “our particular
free-lancers in the field of the
Catholic faith would resent
nothing more violently than
the accusation that they hold
the ‘Roman position’ in their
theological speculations, or
that they are ‘Roman
theologians.’ We owe it to our
Orthodox brethern to assure
them that such is not the case
-- and, in so doing, we in no
way offend the sensibilities of
those who still claim the
name of ‘Catholic’ although
they studiously reject the
name of ‘Roman’.”

W right singled out
theologians who “try to
explain away or diminish”
the central role of the Pope in
the Roman Catholic Church.
The cardinal declared:
“Our Orthodox Christian
brethern are perfectly aware
that authentic Catholics see
the bishop of Rome as the
bond of their unity, the
‘heart of heart’ in the visible
Catholic Church. Catholics, as
our (French monastic)
Protestant brother, Roger
Schutz, underlined at Friburg
last month, see in the Roman
Pontiff the universal shepherd
and in the Roman Church the
presidency of charity.
“Orthodox and Protestant
Christians may interpret these
dogmas in different ways, but
they are properly scandalized
though not deceived when
‘professional theologians’ try
to explain away or diminish
this central truth of the
Roman Catholic creed: that
as Christ is the invisible head
of the Church, the successor
of Peter is the visible head of
the Church; that as the
Church embraces by intent all
the world, its center, for
Catholics, is Rome; that no
ecumenical spirit, however
profound, prayerful and
insurgent, can obscure the
fact that the successor of
Peter is the Vicar of Christ
with all the teaching and
directive plentitude of power
that this truth implies.
“Authentic Protestants and
faithful Orthodox understand
this perfectly as the Catholic
position, nor does it diminish
their ecumenical spirit; only
defective Catholics find fault
with it.”
Following those remarks
the cardinal turned to the
Marian theme of his talk. He
stressed the ancient and
common devotion and
veneration of Our Lady shared
by Orthodox and Catholics
alike and noted that “one
cannot speak of the privileges
of Mary as Mother of God
without still bewildering in
varying degrees even our most
loving Protestant Christian
brethern.”
Nevertheless, he said the
doctrine of Mary as
“Theotokos (Mother of God)
and devotion to the virgin
under sublime title have
always been bonds between
East and West, as the Greek
word reminds us.”
The International Marian
Congress opened on the same
day the 6th International was Cardinal Leo Suenens of
Mariological Congress closed. Belgium, president of the two
