two ways of taking our an

There are many examples in

TO criticize it. We can say
that someone is not "at

know that the expression has
two possible meanings. Such
a deception, however, should
not be used lightly. 1t is per-

a good reason.

should YOU do:
A. Talk it over with the

Christ is 50 great is almost
a denial of faith.

priest when he absolves us.
Unless We lie or deliberately

Q. Is it always sinful to

A. Yes. The civil law is an
expression of the Fourth
Commandment. The author

given sanction. Moralists,
however, speak of penal laws
which do not bind in the
same way as those which are
definitely and directly bound

cant that the Pope speaks of
the work of the future
Council while alluding to
the subjects discussed in the
two preceding ones, whose
treatment of them could not
be completed because of pre-
Vailing conditions.
THE ANNOUNCING
of a Council has raised high
hopes in the whole of Chris
tendon, and caused the
longing for unity to be
shown more stronglv than
ever before.
AT the conclusion of Yes
pers in st. Peters on Whit
Sunday 1860, the Pope pray
ed to the Holy Ghost for the
preparation of the Council.
He turned to the Mother of
the Divine Word, who is al
ways with us in our prayers,
that the Holy Spirit might
pour out His gifts on the
life of the Church.
He recalled the great
saints of the eastern Church,
Gregory of Nazianzen and
John Chrysostom, whose
bodies lay in ST. Peters. He
besought them both to raise
up their voices in earnest
entreaty for the return of
the eastern Churches to the
embrace of the one, holy.

Church.
What a wonderful thing,
what Towering of human
and divine love, would be
the resolve to initiate the re-
union of our separated bre-
thren of East and West in
the one Flock of Christ, the
eternal Shepherd! That
would be one of the most
precious fruits of the Sec
ond Vatican Council to the
glory of the Lord in Heaven
and on earth, to universal
rejoicing in the plenitude of
the mystery of the Com
munion of Saints"
The highest aim of the
Church, to which the Ecu
menical Council shu Id con-
tribute, said the Pope, is
the triumph of Jesus Christ.
Knowing then that the
unity of Christians is not
the work of human prudence
and organizational ability,
but is a gift of Gods grace,
We turn iii faith and conf
dence in prayer to TIE Para
clete, the soul of the Mysti-
cal Body, the Church, and
the deepest principles of its
unity.
Pope John has urged both
Catholics and their separat-
ed brethren to pray con-
stantlv for the success of
the Council. Let us then
raise up our hearts and pray
the Holy Spirit to pour out
the fullness of His gifts in a
new pentecostal stream on
the Council and on all who
prepare and take part in it
and who pray for its sue
cess.

seems unlikely.
We can pray for a miracle.
The Gospels are full Of in
stances where Christ re-
spOnded to the faith of the
person (the woman with an
issue of blood or the faith
of his friends 1.-THE par
alytic who was lowered
through the roof by his
friends). If the person is To
die he needs our prayers for
final perseverance in grace,
which is even more import
ant than his recovery.
q. / know a woman who
was divorced and is now
married again. and by a
priest. How can that be:
A. 1t is impossible to make
definite statements about a
case where the facts are not
known in full. If the woman
YVES married out of the
Church the first time (if she
is a Catholic), that first mar
riage was invalid. Catholics
are bound by the form of
marriage, marriage in the
presence of a duly authoriz-
ed priest and two Witness
es. If they are rot so mar
ried the marriage is not a
true marriage.
If such a situation can be
proved with documentary ev-
idance before the Diocesan
Tribunal, the woman in such
a case can be declared free
to marry. That is not to say
that the Church is pleased
at this situation, but de-
cisions in marriage cases
are based on the facts.
She can then be married
by the priest, because she
has no previous valid mar
riage bond. The same would
be true if her divorced hus-
band had died before the
time of her arrangement for

she could have been married

The attitude of the sep
arated Christian commune
ties to the Council can be
seen from a resolution pro-
posed by the executive COM
mittee of the World Council
of Churches to- its central
committee.
Thu f Secre-
tary, DR.. Visser't Hooft, in
his account of the proceed
ings warned against view
ing the World Council as a
counterpoise to Rome or
looking on both as engaged
in a struggle for power in
the sphere of ecclesiastical
politics. The World Council
does not aim at ending the
separation into many small
groups SO as to substitute
for them larger, but fewer
groups. 1t declines to treat
any Church or group of
Churches as opponents, but
its object is the unity of all
who acknowledge Jesus
Christ as God and Redeem

ecutive committee on rela-

that the unofficial converse

Roman Catholic Church. In
no sense are they contem-
plating a return to the ia
theirs house" left by their
forebears.
Al they are prepared to
do is to make contact with
this Church and to recognize
their relation to it as an es-
sential problem of the ecu
menical movement.
Most ecumenical theolo-
gians of the reformed con-
fessions are at pains at keep
an openness of mind that
will make such c%ontact
fruitful and will recognize
the value of that Church's
Christian witness.
The Church's inner es-
sence and structure is root
ed in Christology, and so it
is highly significant that a
revision has been made of
the basic article Of the con-
stitution of the World
Council of Churches.
IN ITS CONFERENCE at
Amsterdam it had adopted
the following form: "The
World Council of Churches
is a community of Churches
which acknowledge our
Lord Jesus Christ as God
and Redeemer."
This was judged insuffi-
cient by the Orthodox espe-
cially, since the Christology
of the World Council did not
proceed from the doctrine
of God made man, and was
not in line with the pro-
nouncements of the early
Councils, particularly that
of Chalcedon.
The Anglican theologian,
Oliver Tomkins, had observ-
ed that the Amsterdam for
mula was capable of very
different INTERPRETATIONS.
In view of a proposal
from the Norwegian Church
made as far back as 1854,
and to meet the repeated
wishes of the Orthodox. a
new formula was adopted
at New Delhi in 1861.
1t reads: "The World
Council of Churches is a fell
lowship of Churches which
confess the Lord Jesus
Christ as God and Saviour
according to the Scriptures
and therefore seek to fulfill
together their common call
ing to the glory of the one
God, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit"
The World Council has
declared that the new YER
sion is not to be taken as
either a creed" or a COM
prehensive expression of the
Christian faith.
On Nov. IA, 1860. the
Pope solemnly opened the
preliminaries of the Second
Vatican Council in ST.
Peters.
In his address he urged
members of the Council
Commissions to examine the
procedure and conclusions
of the 20 Ecumenical Coun-
ellis and to use them in their
work of preparing the new
Council.
After mentioning the
Council of the Apostles in
Jerusalem. he alluded to
those of Nicea, Ephesus and
Chalcedon, with their in-
creasinglv clear and com
prehensive development of
the dogmas concerning the
Trinity and Christ, and fin
ally spoke of the last two
councils.
HE SAID THAT lin the
Sixteenth Century the whole
constitution Of the Church
had been questioned by the
reformers, and that the Fa-
theirs of Trent had answered
clearly, on the basis of
Scripture and Tradition,
questions on faith and wor-
ship, and sacraments and
the reform of morals.
Finally, the Vatican Coun-
Gil had "in the short time
allowed it set forth clearly
the divine constitution of
the Church, particularly in
regard to the infallibility of
the Pope in matters of faith
and morals"

Churches does not mean that
the fundamental differences
between the two sides have
been overcome.
WE OUGHT to welcome
this frank and realistic at
titude of the World Council
of Churches to the problem
of union.
1t shows once again how
the question of the nature of
Church unity is the real
core of theological contro-
versy and interconfessional
discussion.
According to a recent re-
port DR.. Hooft told repre-
sentatives of the press at
the Conference of European
Churches that the relations
between the World Council
and the Roman Catholic
Church had again become
very powerful"
The appointment of Msgr.
Willebrands as president of
the newly formed secretar-
lat for the union of Chris
tians should greatly ease in
terconfessional discussions;
for Msgr. Willebrands
knows the World Council al
most better than anyone
else on the Catholic side.
The strength of the cell
menical movement, over
coming all obstacles to the
formation of the World
Council of Churches, ulti-
mately derives from an in
tense desire for Church
unity.
When we think how young
this movement is and how
different are the Protestant
bodies that belong to it, WE
begin to realize both the in
ternal difficulties of the
World Council and the Won
derful achievement of the
community already attain
ed.
All the same. the out
S standing difficulties are
great; they are rooted in
different concepts of the
Church. and these show
themselves in different
views on Church unity.
The views of the Ortho-
dox Churches are the clos
est to Catholic teaching on
the unity of the Church.
WHAT THEN is the stu
alton of the denominations
which arose gout of the Re-
formation?
The Reformation of the
Sixteenth Century deliber-
ately cut itself off from the
Roman Catholic Church,
without desiring to leave
the Church of Christ.
The reformed commune
ties, in the process of separ-
alton, gave up SO many ele-
ments of visible unity in the
Church's structure, sacra-
ments and life that subse-
quent history brought fur

Protestants and a number of
new denominations.
Now the reformed COM
