Sum and Substance:
Church Commonwealth
Might Injure True Unity
by FIR. John B. Sheerin, esp.

Pope John, on Deem
Der 3rd, praised the Arch
bishop of Canterbury for
his courage" in making
the visit to the Vatican.
1t certainly took courage for
DIR. Fisher to visit the Pope
in the face of rumors that he
was preparing to surrender"
to the Pope.
THERE WAS, OF COURSE,
no surrender but the visit
will undoubtedly serve as the
prelude to subsequent con-
facts between Catholic and
Anglican leaders.
In cautioning against ex-
cessive optimism about the
outcome of such meetings,
Pope John warned: I'VE re-
main on the threshold of great
problems"
THE EVENING BEFORE
his h~istory-making interview,
Archbishop Fisher gave a talk
at Rome in which he advocat-
ed the formation of "a Com
monwealth of Churches" |
presume he meant a loose con-
federation on the style of the
British Commonwealth of Ma
tons.
AT any rate, the implication
is that he favors an associa-
ton of Christian Churches il
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1960-12-30

which each Church would rec
ognize the authority of the
heads of the other Churches.
The Pope could not subscribe
to such a concept since Christ
appointed one head of the
one Church he founded for
all Christians.
Henry VII claimed to be
the spiritual as well as DO.
liticaI ruler of all Catholics
In England. The reigning
Pope refused to recognize his
claim. The chief difference
between Catholics of the
Church of England, therefore,
is a difference centering
around the universal authority
of the Pope over all Chris
tianS.
1T Is SOME TIMES SAID
that the Church of England
would return to union with
the Roman Catholic Church
in Rome would abandon its
claim to Papal Primary. Now
we know that the Catholic
Church cannot abandon this
claim because it is based on
revealed truth. But, for the
sake of Illustrating my point,
let us suppose that Rome did
surrender this claim. What
would happen?

Mature
Movies

Editor:
Bad films can only be
sold to movie-goers who
are dominated by feelings
rat h e than Christian
principles.
These people never grow
up. Immaturity reflects a
form of slavery to ones feel
ings and an inability to act
on sound principles.
The mature couple follows
intelligence and faith, the i'm
mature follows pride and
blind feelings. Where there
are two mature people you
will always find a Christian
determination to make them
selves conform permanently
with the will of God.

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
PorIiomentorion Role
Calls for Guinness

A man who levers six feet
three inches tall and weighs ESQ
pounds will be one of the big
gest figures in the House civil
rights debate which gets under
way today.
Unobtrusive -partisa n,
and mild-mannered, he is not
even a House member. Yet he
literally is the man closest to
the Speakers ear, and what he
says usually goes, in situations
that are taut and intricate.
Lewis Deschler, the House
Parliamentarian, has devoted
more than "a of his SIS years to
service to the House. On his
birthday March 8 he was
praised by Democratic and Re-
publican leaders for his ability,
fairness, helpfulness and pa
thence. Many other members
took the floor to not only COM
mend him but to congratulate
Congress on having him to
smooth its parliamentary path
20 decisively ana quietly.
Representative H of I m a n,
Michigan Republican who often
adds to Mr.. Deschler's task OF
untangling parliamentary tie
ups, pulled out all the stops
and perhaps broke a congress
sional record for inflnitive
splitting when he declared:
Every, very few in the world
have the ability to-while clear
~ pointing out your error
send you away satisfied and
sometimes delighted with the
new knowledge as does our
Parliamentarian."
Expects a Workout
The civil rights debate and
the prospect of a parliamentary
field day by opponents of the
bill during the next six or seven
days hold no terrors for Mr..
Deschler. He nevertheless con-
cedes it will be one of his more
troublesome workouts.
TT won't be mainly a prob
lem of parliamentary de-
cisions," he explains. "It will be
the tension. This is an emo
tional issue, and the situation
will be very tense. suppose the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES calm
ness and good humor."
From all accounts, Lew"
Deschler has those qualities in
plentiful supply for making
trigger-quick decisions, calling
the shots as he sees them and
remaining completely impartial
