Tworecentlypuiblish,edecclesiasticaldocumentshavesetWestern Christendomagog,writesWilliamI. Lonergan,S.J.,intheJesuitWeekly "America."OntheFeastofthe Epiphany,PopePiusXL,issuedan encyclicaltotheCatholicworldwhose themewaschurch-unity.,Lessthan twoweekslaterthetextoftheMalinesconversationswasmadepublic inLondon.Bothpapersareimportant,fortheirdeclarationsandimplicationsaremanyandsignificant.
TheencyclicalistheofficialstatementoftheauthoritativeandinfalliblespokesmanoftheCatholic Churchonanoutstandingcontemporaryreligiousproblem.TheEnglish documenthasweightascontaining thedictaofanunofficialbutrepresentativegroupofAnglicanswho, headedbyLordHalifax,have,inrecentyears,beendiscussingchurchunityanddoctrinalnormswitha smallbutdistinguishedpartyof FrenchandBelgianchurchmenmade upofthelateCardinalMercier,MonsignorvanRoey,MonsignorBatiffol andtheAbbePortal,recentlydeceased.Thoughmanycreditthelate PrimateofBelgiumwithinitiating theconversations,thefirstovertures mustactuallybeattributedtoHalifaxandhisassociates.AsHisEminence,CardinalBourne,haswellexplainedit,theMalinesCatholicgroup merelydealtwiththeBritishinquirersasanypastorwoulddealwith othernon-Catholics,seekingtoarrive atabasisofdiscussionfromwhich theymightbemadetoseetheirerrors andreturntothetrueFold.
ThePapalencyclicalislengthyand itslanguageclear-cut.TheHoly FatherreiteratesthefactsofRevela tionofChrist'sDivinity,andofHit establishmentofasingleChurch,the "Catholic,Apostolic,Roman"Church s:iththepromiseofinfallibilityand indefectibilityandasinglehead,the Pope,enjoying,byDivineright,a primacynotmerelyofhonourbut alsoofjurisdictionovertheuniversal Church.Theencyclicaldeniesthat theChristianChurchcanbeconceivedinanywayasamereaggregateofvariouscommunitiessharing certaincommondoctrinesbutdifferinginothers.Finallyandforpracticalpurposes,theHolyFatherinsiststhattherecanbenochurchtnityuntilallarepreparedto "submittotheChurch'sgovernment andauthority."Onlyonthatbasis isharmonypossible;thoseoutsidethe Foldmaynotcomeaskingdogmatic concessionsorcompromises,forRome cannotmakethem.
EquallylengthywiththePapal documentisthereportoftheMalines conversations,andequallyclear-cut initslanguage.Acarefulanalysis, however,indicatesthatthedoctrinal positionitenunciateshasneitherthe stabilitynorconsistencydesirablefor afrankandadequateunderstanding oftheAnglicanposition.Butthis muchseemsclear,thatthechiefbone ofcontentionwithRomeisthePapal primacyofjurisdictionwhichthe Anglo-Catholicsarenotpreparedto accept,theverypointwhichPius XI.makesabsolutelyfundamental foraunitybasisinhisencyclical.
Asmanifestedinthereportofthe Malinesconversations,thoughitis doubtfulifthepositionsoftheEnglishspokesmencanbetakenasrepresentative,Anglicantheologyhas changedradicallyinthelast'hundred years,andintheconcessionsLord Halifaxandhisassociatesseempreparedtomakeregardingdoctrines, sacraments,liturgyanddiscipline thereisaverywidedivergencefrom theattitude.ofthetraditionalAnglicanLow-Churchspokesmen.Few Anglicansadmitthat"withoutcommunionwiththePopethereisno prospectofareunitedChristendom."
ButevenfortheAnglo-Catholic, thecrucialpointintheCatholicProtestantcontroversyremains-the positionofthePapacy.Onthissubject,uptothepresent,therehave beenbuttwoschoolsofthought.In ProtestantandOrthodoxtheology whateverprimacytheBishopof Romemayhaveenjoyedwaspurely oneofhonouranddignity,aconces-
sionfromtherestoftheepiscopatein asmuchashewasthesuccessorin theSeeofPeterhimself,theonly existingApostolicSee.InCatholic theology,ontheotherhand,aprimacyofuniversaljurisdictionjure divino,byDivineright,wasalways vindicatedfortheHolyFather:he wasChrist'sVicar,theheadofthe apostoliccollege. Thepresentreportintroducesa thirdprimacy,"aprimacyofresponsibility,"whichtheAnglo-Catholics seempreparedtorecognise.Witha 'typicalProtestanthesitancythatabhorsdefinitenessitisdescribedrather thandefined.Wearetold:
Wewishforunity,and,ifthenecessary)peeliminaryconditionswere met,weshouldnotshrinkfromthe ideaofthePapacyactingasacentre ofunity funintoytbuteipnapsoacyssayingwe i have existsn intheoryandpracticeamouchngRoman Catholicsatpresent,butaconception ofunitysuchasmayemergeinthe future. Whentheyspeakof "spiritualresponsibilityandspiritual leadership-.andgeneralsuperintendenceandcareforthewell-beingofthe Churchasawhole,"theirmindsseem thro.ughoutallsuchlanguagetofasten uponaverypositiveconceptionofa certainpowerrichinitscapacitybut ill-definedinitsextent. Butwhat emergesfromtheseexpressionsisa senseoftheloftymissionattachingto thePope,withtheimplicationthat to"primacyhonour"theremustbe added"primacyofresponsibility."
Inotherwords,however,weinterprettheexplanationsoftheMalines report,whatLordHalifaxandhis confreresconcedetheHolyFatheris nottheadequateprimacy,honourand jurisdiction,whichJesusChristgave HisVicar.Yet,asPiusXI.tellsthe ChristiansLorld,withoutittherecan benounity.
Ifanimpassehasbeenreachedin theAnglicanunitymovementinEngland,theprospectofChristianunity intheUnitedStatesisevenlesshopeful.Thisisnotpessimismbutafrank acknowledgmentofasituationabout whichmanywell-meaningpeople seemtobedeceivingthemselves.Certainlythereneverwasandmuchless istherenowanyquestionofCatholicismunitedonacompromisewithany ofthesects.NoProtestantconversant withCatholicdoctrines,nottosayno Catholic,everentertainedsorashan idea.
Asforunionamongthemselves,the sectsmay,itistrue,formassociations similartotheFederationofChurches, forsocialandeconomicpurposes,or evenonaPan-Protestantbasis,but therecanbenodogmaticunityamong them,nopoolingofdoctrineorau
thority,fortheyhavenocommon basisofagreementandtheirbeliefs aretoodivergent.Tohopeforsuch unityisutopian;theymayfraternise, theycanneverorganicallyunitewithoutdestroyingtheirseparateentities. AtLausanneBishopBrentdidnot hesitatetosay:"TheChristofone churchoftencategoricallydeniesthe Christintheneighbouringchurch.It wouldbeludicrousifitwerenot tragical."
Itis.publicknowledgethatforsome timepastthesectshavebeencleftin twainbyrivalcamps,theFundamentalistsandModernists.Thereare spokesmenforbothinpractically everyimportantdenomination.And boththeliteralnessoftheFundamentalistsandtheliberalismoftheModernistsareharmingtheChristian cause.FundamentalismmakesChrist's Churchlookridiculous;Modernism robsitofeverysemblanceofDivinity.
TheearlyReformersacceptedthe BibleasthesolenormofChristianity. Itwastobethebe-allandend-allof Christ'sreligion.Catholicsmaintainedthatinthistheyerred,thatOur Lordneverintendedthat.Holy Scriptureshouldbetheonlynormof belief. However,notwithstanding thisdisagreement,forbothCatholics andReformerstheBiblewastrue;it wasinspired.
Yetto-day,Modernistsnotonly deny.itsinspirationbutmanyof themhayevenrejecteditsauthenticityandhistoricity.Caughtinthe snareoftheso-calledhighercriticism, theyhavetakenmostofthepages
