rising costs of materials, made
quate and slow moving appro-

brought months of delay. Saw
mills were lacking; long leaf
pine and finished heavy oak
timbers came from mills miles
away. Railroad iron was very
scarce. Captain Shirley even
sold his homestead to try and
speed construction of the YES

In April, 1862, the capture
of Memphis was imminent and
it became necessary to move the
unfinished vessel to Green
wood, Mississippi on the Yazoo
River. During the removal a
barge with 400 bars of iron
sank and several weeks were
spnet in salvaging the materials
and lifting the barge.

Eastern Rite Could
be means for reunion
BY FIR. EDWARD ZAVELL

For some it may seem that, considering the small
number Of Catholics of the Eastern rites mine Million
would it not he best to have everyone under just one
rite? In doing this would we not only achieve unity
but also uniformity? AT first glance it would appear
logical.
There are substantial reasons however, for the
continuance of the Oriental or Eastern rites.
The most convincing reason of all, of course, is
The expressed wish and inSistence of the Holy See to,
have these ancient rites continue. Pope Plus Xl in his
"Rerum Orientalium" had this to say about the East
ern rites:
The people of all rites should enjoy equal riqhts,
regardless of their race. language, or rites. The Roman
Church has always scrupuIously respected and main
tanned the various rites, and has at all times insisted
on their preservation"
Pope Benedict XIV declared in "Dei ProVidentis"
this famous passage:
I'm the Church of Jesus Christ that is neither
Latin, nor Greek, nor Slav, but simply Catholic, there
Is not and cannot be any difference between her chill
dren, because no matter what they be otherwise,
whether Latins, Greek. or Sisvs. or any other nation
ality, all of them are equal around the table of the
Holy See"
This has been reiterated by members of the Ca
tholic hierarchy at various occasions. Recently Richard
Cardinal Gushing, speaking al the conservation of the
Melkite Archbishop John BasSaul in Boston, Mass, as
serted that the Church requires unity Of doctrine but
has never required a uniformity of rite. He emphasiz-
ed that:
I'm the true sense of the word Catholic there is
neither East nor West, irish, French, American, Lebsn-
csc or anything else. We are all Christians, one in
Christ under His vicar on this earth"
cByzanfine Catholic World" May l3, 1852
Another reason for the preservation of the rites
of the East is the ancient heritage of these rites. They
go back to the early period of Christianity. They are as
old as the Latin Rite, and in their particular way there
is a beauty and aesthetic manner about them. Each
rite differs yet each gives TO God the worship due Him
i'll a mode Of S%ymboiical majesty. These rites are not
a halfway house" between the Catholic Church and
the Eastern Orthodox. Rather, they are representatives
of what were the great Eastern patriarchates before the
Great Schism of 1854 AID.
FINALLY. 1T HAS been the fond hope of many
observers that primarily through the Eastern rites the
cherished reunion between East and West will be &C.
complShed. A comparison of the liturgy, customs and
eremonie of the Oriental Catholics and the Eastern
dissidents will show an amazing similarity This SINH
larity in heritage may provide the basis for under
standing and agreement between Catholic and Ortho-
dox.
When reunion is effected, it is quite likely that the
separated Christians of the East will find the accept
able path to the true fold through the Eastern rites of
the Catholic Church.

election statement of Ken
nedy's opponent in the cleo
ton of a Catholic means that
"a false issue has been elm
mated from the political
arena"
But he added that the inn
provement in relations began
long before the 1860 presi-
dental campaign.
He said some of his fellow
American political reporters
claimed Catholics had elected
Kennedy. He styled this "rid-
iculouS," pointing out that
Catholics constitute about a
quarter of the total popula-
ton.
INC KENNEDY was elect
ed by Protestants and others
outside of the Catholic Church,
who refused to be swayed
by appeals to prejudice" he
said.
Il should like to make an
other thing clear. There is
no such thing in the United
States as a Catholic bloc vote.
American Catholics are to be
found in both of our great
political parties And in
1860 a great many Catholics
who are Republicans voted
for Mr.. Nixon.
Il am glad that this was so.
Jews voted much more
solidly for Kennedy than did
Catholics. The same is true of
Negroes, who as | said earlier
are overwhelmingly Protest
ant"
Pollard said that despite
the urging of George Wash
ington, anti-C Catholic bigotry
grew in the United States and
occasionally exploded into
violence. He listed several
factors that worked to dispel
such bigotry: organizations
like the National Conference
of Christians and Jews, a rise
in the level of education, in
terfaith comradeship in Amer
ica's last three wars, and a
need to unite against the
threat of communism.

One Of the dangerous signs of the times
is increasing acceptance of the leader prin-
ciple." This is the idea that one man in high
office is the sole authentic interpreter of the
national will
In connection with the spread of this I'M
democratic idea. Congress and the public
might well read the views of Prof Arthur
Schlesinger Jr., White House adviser, as pre-
sented in an article entitled ION Heroic
leadership in the December, 1860, number
of the English magazine, Encounter.
In this article. Prof. Schlesinger, who now
occupies an office in the White House, de-
clares that the chief executive of a country
with representative government should be able
to abrogate the Constitution in national
emergencies. He asserts that short-rlm au-
thoritarianism is possible in the United States.
The article is a glorification of personal
leadership. His review of leadership problems
covers many countries and is presented in
the language of the academy. But the article
plainly demonstrates Prof. Schlesingers ap-
prevail of departures from government based
on law.
Heroic leadership he wrote, should
seem the most effective means of charging

ard social purpose. The real divisions in
these tthe backward countries is not between
left and right; it is between hard and soft
between leadership which has the will to do
what must be done to lay the foundations for
economic growth and leadership which falt-

society or the peremptory challenges of ris-
ing social groups
What is this but the old Fuhrer concept
