THE CHURCH AND CHRISTENDOM
Professionals attitude toward unity
governed by their concept Of church

THE REFOMERS considered the
Church with its hierarchical struc-
ture, its infallible teaching office of
Councils and Popes, with the apostolic
succession of bishops by divine ordi-
nance, as contrary to Scripture and so
"antichristian."
Evangelical theology, however, has
come to pay special attention to the
questions of the function, the apos-
tolic succession, the visibility of the
Church and its organized unity; and
this is something new and bound up
with the actual historical situation
of the evangelical Church in Ger
nan go.
Religious individualism, the fruit
of the idealistic conception of "Cul-
MISREPRESENTATION" is now generally
rejected and there is more emphasis
on the aspect of community.
We have every hope that the con-
versations between Catholic and
evangelical theologians will gradually
remove the misunderstanding that
for centuries have, on both sides, i'm
peded discussions.
In a certain sense, a common basis
is also offered by the first three
Creeds, which the reformed commune
ties recognize as norms of belief,
namely the Apostles Greed, the Nj
Gene, and so-called Athanasian Creed,
which summarizes the whole doctrine
nf +bo TI.iytfu ard IF Cbric+
We do not ignore the fact that, for
example, the neritorious activity of
Christ's human nature is not admitted
in Luther's Christology, but yet the
definitive Christology of Chalcedon is
fundamentally acknowledged.
In addition, the doctrinal decisions
of the first four Councils were recog-
nized by the Reformers and taken as
norms Of belief.
OVER AND ABOVE this comes
the question of whom we are really
dealing with as regards all we do to
prepare a future reunion. The lack of
any teaching authority, the numerous
theological opinions at variance with
M another, the influx of philosophi-
cal concepts and current ideas which
threaten to dissolve away whatever
Christian substance remains, all this
has a bewildering effect on the Cath
Ollie observer, SO that he has nc idea
whom he ought to approach as a pos
Sible partner in a dialogue.
Yet we ought to be aware that, with
all their variations, there is a perma-
nent basic tendency in the reformation
outlook of the Lutheran, Calvinist and
Anglican communities -.
However much individual elements
of the statements of belief and their
eXegetical basis have been abandoned,
still their general tendency and funda-
mental attitude remains in some way
the starting-point and the pointer of
the theology of the reformed Church
es and even more so of their parochial
life and devotional practice.
Moreover the reformed Churches
outside Germany, which developed
further than those in Germany, are
definitely Confession Churches" and
the various statements of belief have
a like normative significance.

What is the Church's
attitude toward Exodus
INQUIRY CORNER

q. What is the attitude of
the Church toward the book
Exodus"
A. It is the second book of
the Bible and is inspired by
God, so the Church regards
il as a divine message TO
man for his guidance.
The book you mean. / sup
pose, is the modern novel Of
the recent exodus of Jews to
Israel. The church has no
particular attitude toward
that. 1t is a powerful and
popular novel. Some critics
found it partisan in spots
mot quite fair in is sweep
ing statements about anti
semitism) and some found
its tone lacking in respect
for the Ten Commandments.
It seems more an epic Of
Jewish nationalism than of
Jewish religious feeling and
casual immortality is sppar-
emily justified (notably in
the matters of SEX.
q. Is there a Catholic va
cation spot such as nom
Catholics have where the
whole family can go and
join purpose with pleasure
(e.g. as Lakeside on Lake
Erie or Chautauqua i'm New
York;?
A. There are several fam
lily retreat houses (e.5 Mary
dale in Covington) where
something like that is pos
sible. There was a feature
story in one of our Catholic
magazines recently about
a monastery lin Missouri. I
believe) which has family
retreats.
The family retreat (more
commonly the married cou-
pie retreat) is becoming
more common and more
popular. 1t may lead to the
establishment Of camps or
vacation spots with a spir-
itual program. 1t seems an
excellent idea. If any reader
knows of such places I would
be glad to hear of them.
Q. May a woman, married
by a justice of the peace, di-
vOrced and remarked (by a
J.P.) become a Catholic,

BY ARBP. LORENZ JAEGER

The attitude of contemporary Prot.
estants to a possible invitation is gov
erned largely by their idea of the ma
ture of the Church and its unity, and
may be expressed in these points:
J.: Unity is an essential property of
the Church.
2. Therefore reformation theology
cannot accept the separation of the
Churches as justified.
3. 1t follows that it is the duty of
the separated Churches to seek unity.
4. The unity of the Churches must
be sought for the sake of the truth,
not for any practical reasons.
5. Consequently, any kind of indif-
ferenti5m in matters of doctrine must
be avoided in seeking unity.
THIS Is STRESSED especially on
the Lutheran side, since the Lutheran
communities look on their confession
al statements of belief as a compen-
dunn of Scripture, and accept Scrip
ture as the primary standard, as OPP
posed to the secondary standard of all
doctrinal teaching.
From their idea of the Church IS
expressed in their confessional state
ments ProtestantS dispute the claim
of the Catholic Church to be the true
Church of Christ and its demand for
the return of the other Christian COM
munities.
6. From the principles of the Refor-
nation there follows a theological
view of Councils differing in its main
lines from the Catholic. AS Altendorf
says: in Professionalism, with its re-
lection with Luther Of the traditional
idea of the Church, there was nc room
for the Roman Catholic idea of Coun-
ellis, nor indeed for any common UNI
derstanding of their nature"
Luther recognizes only the four an
, cient "chief Councils" of Nicea, Con.
: stantinople, Ephesus and Chalcedon,
on the ground that they rightly ex-
press the teaching of Scripture.
The early Fathers, however, held
that these Councils were true to Scrip
ture because of the assistance of the
Holy Spirit preserving the assembly
5 of bishops from error; and it is pre-
cisely this basis of the authority of
Councils that Luther rejected.
In his view, a Council was a meet
ing of experts in Scripture, where the
sole rule of faith was Scripture as
q understood by the reformers. AS a re-
suit, what the Protestants really want
ed was not a Council, but a conference
on religion.
z. When Pope John XIII announc-
i ed the holding of an ecumenical Coun-
Gil, the word ''ecumenical' gave rise
to a misunderstanding, and it was
thought he meant a joint Council.
The idea seemed to Protestants
strange and repugnant; but they were
treasured by Cardinal Tardini's ex-
PLANTATION that the Council would deal
with internal matters of the Catholic
Church.
FURTHER, it must be remembered
that interconfes sional discussions
were only just beginning, and were

Europe.
Evangelical theologians throughout
time regard the question of an invita-
ton to the Council as merely secon-
Diary. They are extremely interested
in continuing discussions with Cath
Ole theologians, and hope the Council
will facilitate contact of the latter
with the ecumenical movement and
the World Council of Churches SO as
to find new ways to unity.
Lutheran theologians adhere to the
conception of the Church of the Con
fession of Augsburg" according to
which life together with Christ, which
is what ensures the unity of the

Church, is found where the Gospel is
preached in its purity and the sacra-
ments administered as instituted.
The Church's external ordering is
not necessary for salvation, and the
question of a single Church as a visi-
bic institution is wrongly posed. To
admit that a definite external unity
of the Church was laid down by the
Lord and evidenced by the New Tesla
ment would be to discard Luther and
Melanchthon and their entire theolo-
gy.
CALVINIST theologians like Emil
Drummer go much further than Luth-
Grams in the questions of Institution,
Church law and worship. They say
that the unity of the Church on earth
is something invisible brought about
by the Holy Spirit, and that it cannot
be established in any historical expert
ence
1t is in its doctrine of the Church
that Protestantism contrasts most
strongly with Catholicism.
Yet it should not be thought that
the fundamental division lies only in
the doctrine of the Church or that this
is the point of departure and the root
cause of the opposition. 1t is simply
that here the contrast is shown most
strikingly.
Thus we cannot expect that an ex-
position, by the coming council, Of a
comprehensive doctrine of the Church
based on Scripture and Tradition will
bring world Protestantism nearer to
the Catholic Church in the immediate
future.
On the contrary, its first effect will
be to bring out more clearly its differ
ence from the Lutheran and Calvinist
doctrines.
At the Reformation it was not
moral and other abuses in the Catho-
lie Church that We're responsible for
the s~eraration, but the new reformed
ideas on theological anthropology,
faith, Gods work of salvation and par
tieularly the Church.

They couldn't have guns, because they
are not allowed in the game preserve, but
a camp fire is supposed to keep the lions
away. "The lions roared all night" said

she sat up and listened to them while
putting more logs on the fire. But Bob
slept peacefully in that wild animal king
dom.

month rainy season in Cotonou, when some

water around their houses, and many Da-
homeans saw their mud huts collapse
around them.

way they look at it. I'VE Just love it,"
said Alice, "It's the incest place you can
imagine. It's small, it's interesting and
we have lots of friends coming through.
"It's the most surprising thing-people
just turn up from everywhere. French
boats stop there. Foreign service friends
spend the night with u.s. Missionaries come
through, and young people like Chester
Bowles son and wife who drove over from
Nigeria"
