Crisis In Wet Nam

deep roots IN 1868, religious
leaders were concerned over
events In South Wet Nam,

the new ruling junta was to
pledge religious freedom and
democracy.
Other trouble spots were Mus
im-dominated Sudan, where
expulSions of Protestant and
Catholic missionaries were
seen as part Of a systematic
drive to suppress Christianity in
the new African nation; and
strife-torn Angola, where Catho-
Lie leaders called on Portuguese
authorities to adopt a Christian
policy and cease opposing what
they called a natural right" to
independence.
In South Africa, the govern

Addresses by Pope
The first six months of his
reign saw Pope Paul, in a Sc

messages, stressing the need
for encouraging religious voca-
tons; indorSing efforts toward
European unity, and reiterating
the Church'S mrelenting opposi-
ton to atheiStic communism.

brations were led by Ecumeni-
cal Patriarch Athenagoras, who
afterwards made a tour of
Greece that included a visit to
the island Of Corfu, where he
lauded the good relations
there between Orthodox and
Catholics.
New Bible Planned
In December came the an
nouncement that a Roman Cath
ole edition Of the Protestant
Revised Standard Version Of the
Bible would be published in
England in 1864.
During the year many ecu
menical contacts at the grass
roots level were reported in the
Unite d States, as Catholic
theologians spoke at Protestant
gatherings, and vice versa.
In the U. S., the growing Prot
estant union movement saw rep

their denominations for authori-

bodies-Methodist and .EUB-

if approved by the Methodist

THE YEAR IN RELIGION
EcumenicuI UPsurge in '63
May Open New Historical Era

Pope Paul was to continue thu
work Of the Second Vatican
Council which his predecessor
had convoked to bring about al
inner renewal Of the Catholic
Church and to promote Chris
tan unity. Some $500 bishops
from about 80 countries attended
the councils second session,
along with around so Protestant
and Orthodox observers and
special guests.
Although concrete results Of
the session were meager, it was
generally hailed as having dem.
onStrated that ecumeniSm was
in the church to stay, that
many council fathers favored a
greater voice for the bishops,
and that there was a consensus
that the church must concern
itself more directly with the
poor, the iIliterate and the hun
CRY.
Promulgated was a constitu-
ton on the liturgy which
cleared the way for revolu-
donary changes aimed at more
intelligent and active participa-
ton of the faithful in the
church's worship. These in
cluded use of the vernacular in
parts of the Mass with greater
stress on the sermon), and in
the administration of the Sacra-
ments. Adopted, too, was a de-
cree on the communications
media, but most observers were
disappointed with the document
since they felt it failed to deal
in a creative way with televi-
sion, radio and cinema.
Calls for Exchanges
Viewed as one of the most
heartening aspects Of the ses-
sion was the opening to discus
sion of three chapters on a
schema on ecumenism which
called on Catholics to foster
ecumenical dialogue and ex-
change on all levels. But rejoic-
ing over this was offset by the
Councils adjournment before it
could vote on discussing two
other vital chapters-one on
CathoEc-Jewish relations and
the other on religious liberty.
Both chapters had aroused
worldwide interest. The first
one on the part Of Jewish lead
ers who had hoped it would help
to uproot prejudice and eStab-
fish mutual respect and esteem
between Catholics and Jews;
the second on the part of reli-
gious leaders generally who
wanted a clear-cut statement on
religious liberty as a right that
belongs to all men. However,
although action was delayed,
the Council was expected to dis
cuss and adopt both chapters at
its third session next Septem-
Der.
Pope Paul alluded to the free
dom Of expression which had
marked the Council in its eff
forts to make the Church "bet-
ter fitted to deliver Its message
of truth and salvation to the
modern world" and of Finding
ways and expressions capable
Of closing the gap between our
