FormanygenerationspasttheBalkanPeninsulahasbeenalmostproverbiallyknownas"thecockpitof Europe."Warfarethereseemsas naturalasfrostinwinter.Itiseasy, however,toaccountforthis.Inthe firstplace,theBalkanlandsborderon Asia.InthemtheEastmaybesaid tomeettheWest.Then,theBalkans.eversince1453,havebeenthe greattheatreoftheage-longconflict bet,.veenthereligionsofIslamandof Christ.Whataterribleperiodthat W.betweenApril6andMay25,1453, whentheChristianEmpireofthe Eastmadeitslastgallantstand!On April6theTurks-aquarterofamillionmen,underSultanMuhammedII. ---laidsiegetoConstantinople,which hadbeenfor1,127yearspreviouslythe seatofChristianimperialisminthe East.Thegarrison,consistingof '5,000Greeksand2,0004-eigners,made avaliantdefence.OnMay25.however.theMuslimhostsmadeageneral assault.andthefamouscityofConstantinewascaptured.Thelast ChristianEmperor,ConstantinePalae°logos,fellinthefight.ConstantinoplebecamethecentreoftheimperialpowerofIslam.ThegloriousCathedraloftheHolyWisdom("HeHagiaheSophia",wasdefacedofits Christianfeatures,and,eversincethat day,hasbeentha.,house.notofthereligionofChrist,butofthecreedwhose watchwordis,"ThereisnoGodbut Allah.andMuhammedisHisprop-

Spleaciingoutfromthatgreattriumph,theTurkishpowerconquered practicallythewholeBalkanland.Indeed,rrt1529therewasimminentprospectthatitwouldcaptureevenViennaitself!SultanSulvmantheMagnificentbesiegeditwith120,000Turks; buthewasunabletoovercomethe defence,andwithdrew.Again(in 1883)cameagreatanddecisivebattle atVienna,between300,000Turks,underKaraMustaphaPasha,and70,000 Christians,underthePolishhero.John -Sobieski. Afterafrightfulconflict, lastingthewholeday,theTurkswere routed.Sixpashaswerekilled,and Mustaphasavedhimselfonlybyflight. Itwastheturning-pointoftheTurkishfortunes.True,thosefortunes hadreceivedagreatcheck112years beforeatthenavalbattleofLepanto. Thatbattle,however,wasnotthereal cruxofthewarsofTurkandChristianfortheTurkishpowerwasmore alandthanaseaone.JohnSobieski itwaswhoreallyturnedthetide. SincethentheMuslimpowerinEuropehasshrunksteadily,untilnow itrulesbutasmallterritorybordering ,,ntheBlackSeaReligiousStrife

TheBalkanland.-however,have beenthescenenotonlyofthestrife ofTurkandChristian,butalsoof EasternChristianagainstWestern Christian:inotherwords,betweenthe jurisdictionsoftheEcumenicalPatriarchofConstantinopleandtheHoly SeeofRome.Forcenturiesbefore theTurkish onquestinternecine Christianenmityhadbeenraging;and itlasts(thoughnotsofiercely,perhaps)tothisday. Letustakeaglanceatthestateof religionintwoparticularBalkancountries:RoumaniaandJugo-Slavia.Both thoselandshaveproblemsofdeepinteresttoCatholics.

Jugo-Slavia(or.togiveititsfull title,"theSerb.Croat,andSlovene State"---"KraljevinaSerb,Hrvata, Sloyenaca",istheoldServia,enlarged asaresultofthewar.AftertheAustrianRevolutionof1918sdeclarations ofindependenceweremadebySlo. venia,Croatia.Dalmatia,andBosnia, whichbadpreviouslybeenpartsofthe AustrianEmpireTheyunitedwith Serbia.In1921Montenegrowasalso included.ThuscameaboutthepresentJugo-Slavia

ConditionsinSerbia

Promareligiouspointofview,the positioninthisnewcountryisvery strange.ThetraditionsofSerbiaare interlockedwiththe"EasternOrthodoxChurch"SostronglywasThis sothat(toquoteJosephLins,"CatholicEncyclopaedia,"vol.xiii.,p. 735,"allattemptstoinfluencethe membersoftheStateChurchtoadopt othercreeds(were)forbidden."What adifficultproblem,however,hasbeen broughtbytheresultofthewar! Accordingtothecensusof1920,the religiouspopulationofJugo-Slavia was:Greek-Orthodox,5,602,227(47per

cent.);RomanCatholics,4,733,154(39 percent.1;GreekCatholics(i.e.,"Uniates."incommunionwithRome), 41.597:Protestants,216,847(2per cent.1;Mohammedans,1,337,887(11 percent.);Jews,64,159.Thatisto say.the"RomanCatholics"arenot veryfarlessthanthe"GreekOrthodox"themselves,andthelatterareactuallyaminorityofthetotalpopulation.

Nevertheless,theJugo-SlaviarState ChurchisstilltheGreekOrthodoxIt hasrecentlybeenreorganisedasa Patriarchate.IthasaverygreatdegreeoffreedomfromtheStateasregardsecclesiasticalgwernment,andit mustberememberedthatage-longtraditonsof'Serbiaproper"arelinked withit

Here,then.wehaveaprettyproblem! Adominating"Orthodox" Churchinakingdomwherein"Orthodox"believersareaminorityofthe totalpopulation,althoughtheyarea majorityinthe"principalpartner"! Therehavebeen,andare,constantallegationsofpersecutionofProtestants andothersbythe"Orthodox"priest hood.

ConditionsinRoumania.

NowastoRoumania.ThiscountrycameintoexistenceonDecember 23,1861,bytheunionofthetwo DanubianprincipalitiesofWallachia andMoldavia.OnMay21,1877,Roumaniaproclaimeditsfreedomfrom Turkey.Bessarabiawasjoinedto RoumaniainMarch,1918;Bukovina inalatermonthofthesameyear;and Transylvaniaattheveryendof1918

Thecountrycontainsaperplexing minglingofraces Besidesthetrue Roumanianrace,thereareHungarians.Saxons,Swabes,Germans,Ruthenians,Russians,Turks,andTartars.

Accordingtothecensusof1918,the statisticsofreligionwere"Orthodox Church,"9,695,714;GreekCatholics (unitedtoRome),1,456,147;"Roman Catholics,1,483,929;Protestants,1,344,970:Armenians,17,596:Jews,834,344, Mohammedans,44,087.

Thusitwillbeseenthatthe"Oi thodox"haveamajorityofabout to5 "Orthodoxy"istheState Church;buttoquotethe"Statesman's Yearbook"(1923,p.12681,"theclergy oftheotherdenominationsaresub ventionedbytheState.Fullliberty ofreligionisassuredtoeverycreedor sect."Itmustberemembered,however,thatRoumaniaalsoliesinapart ofEuropewherethereligiousbattles 'it"Eastern"and"Western"Christians havebeenwagedforcenturies.Here againtherehavebeen,andare,fry iiiientallegationsastopersecutionsof Protestantsandothersbythe"Orth, dos";anditseemsclearthatpro. blemsofreligiousconflictinthepost war"succession-States"doexist;but everyallegationmustbeinvestigated strictly,andnomere"rumours"should heaccepted.
