mutual faults as well as values.
Augustine Cardinal Bea, head
of the new Vatican Secretariat,
says sincere reciprocal
esteem" is required.
I'VE must pardon each other
our mutual faults, pray to-
gether for the unity of Christ's S
church, and above all, always
humbly place our hope in
God," says the Rev. Thomas
Stransky, an American Cath
olic priest serving on the
secretariat.
Compromising on basic doc
trine is rejected, all around.
The theory is that by sharing
insights and experience, all
may benefit, shed their ex-
traneous and divisive human
foibles, and come to fuller
comprehension of undivided
truths in Christ.
In view Of the deep theo-
logical and ecclesiastical diff
ferenceS, complete reunion is
seen as only a dim, remote
possibility. Yet that is the aim,
and for Orthodox and Prot
estant groups in many ways,
it already is a working fact.
1t has reversed the tide of
Christian history.
After a thousand years of
divisions, following the schism
of 1854 between Rome and
Eastern Orthodoxy, and later
by the splintering of denomi-
nations brought on by the Prot
estant Reformation, the trend
has now turned from disin-
tegration to unification.

delegates of 176 Orthodox,
Anglican, Old Catholic a n d
Protestant denominations with
$50 million members in 50 coun-
tries, the most widely encom-
passing Christian gathering
ever.
The Second Vatican Council,
now tentatively scheduled for
late 1862, convening the Cardi-
mails, Archbishops, Bishops and
other ecclesiastical superiors of
the 500-million-member Ro-
man Catholic Church through
out the world. 1t will be the
first such meeting in 90 years,
and the biggest of its kind.
Protestant and Orthodox OBJ
servers are expected to be in
vited. For the first time, the
Roman Catholic Church also
is sending official observers to
the Protestant and Orthodox
assemblies.
At all of the meetings,
among many other subjects,
church reunion will be a major
consideration.
"The barriers are not un-
bridgeable and are visibly, in
this our day, being bridged,"
says the retired Archbishop of
Canterbury, DR.. Geoffrey
Francis Fisher. "It has been
going on all my lifetime. 1t
is gathering speed, and unless
faith fails us, nothing can
stop it,"
No one expects the time
crusted divisions to be quickly
overcome. Formidable obstacles
remain. There are misgivings
in many quarters, and ques-
tions as to the form eventual
reunion should take, and the
means for progressing toward
it.
Nevertheless, the march Is
on in that direction. Some
churchmen have called it the
greatest development in re-
ligious history since the 18th
century Reformation when
Protestants broke with Rome

These humanitarian sup

The Cuban Revolutionary

Cuban freedom fighters in the
Matanzas area are being at
tackled by heavy Soviet tanks
and MIG aircraft" destroying
large amounts of medical sup
plies and equipment"
The council, in a communi-
que issued at 2 pm, asserted
however that peasants, workers

ing the rapidly expanding area
already liberated"
1t said the medical supplies
destroyed represented human
itarian supplies" which were
destined for Cuban freedom
fighters who are shedding their
blood to overthrow the shackles
of communism.
Cuba is known to have been
receiving Russian equipment.
But the statement issued here
did not say whether the tanks
and planes were manned by
Soviets or Cubans.
