ThePopeandOriental

InhislatestEncyclical,"Rerum Orientalium,"datedSeptember8,the SovereignPontiff,PiusXI.,affirms thattheseparationoftheOriental ChurchesfromtheChurchofRomeis theresultchieflyofmutualmisunderstandingsandprejudices,andasserts thatthesoleremedyliesinthetaking awayofsuchimpediments.Hethen setshimselftoremovemanyofthe. misunderstandings.

ThisimportantannouncementofHis Holinessmarksanotherstepinthe developmentoftheHolySee'sprogrammefortheeliminationofthe causesofdisputethatledtotheunArrtunateseparationofEaster6from WesternChristianitycenturiesago.In thefirstweeksofhispontificate,Pius XI.indicatedthepracticalnatureof hissympathyandaffectationforthe greatOrothdoxpeopleofRussiaby dispatchingaPapalReliefMissionto theiraidduringtheyearsofthegreat 'mine.Later,in1926,HisHoliness CitedtheBishopsoftheUnited 'AtestoorganisetheCatholicNear EastWelfareAssociationasapermanentpontificalsocietytoenablehim_and hissuccessorstocontinueCatholicassistancetoallNearEasterncountries stillsufferingfromthedevastatingeffectsofwarandreligiouspersecution. AspresidentofthisgreatandimportantsocietyheselectedanAmerican priest,theRev.EdmundA.Walsh, S.J.,ofGeorgetownUniversity,who previouslyhadheadedthePapalReliefMissiontoRussia.

TheHolyFather,in"RerunsOrientalium,"nowinvitestheBishopsand faithfuloftheentireworldtoaccord interestandactivitytotheworkfor theOrient.

ThePopeshavealwayshadalively careandsolicitudefortheOrient,His HolinesspointsoutintheEncyclical.

PopeAdrianII.,herecalls,welcomed withbenevolencethevenerationof CyrilandMethodius,theapostlesof theSlavpeoples,andfavouredwith greatzealtheeighthOecumenical Council,sendinghislegatestoConstantinople. AtBari,St.AnselmofCanterbury arousedadmirationwithhissanctity atthetombofSt.Nicholas,His.Holinessadds.PopeGregoryX.convenedtheCouncilofLlyons,towhichwere calledSt.ThomasandSt.Bonaventure.obtainingamomentaryreunion oftheOrientwiththeChurchofRome.

PopeEugeneIV.convenedtheCoun. cilofFlorencewinninganewreunion throughthelaboursoftwoglorious OrientalCardinals,BessarionofNicomediaandIsidoreofKiev.

Moreover,theOrientobtaineddaily benefitsfromtheRomanChurchwith thesendingofrepresentativesofreligiousorderstothem,especiallythe FranciscansandtheDominicans.

AttheUniversityofParis,inaccord withthedesireofthePope,therewas foundedanOrientalCollege,toward whichPopeJohnXXII.showedgreat interest.

HumbertdeRomans.Generalofthe Dominicans,inculcatedinhisfriarsa likingforstudiesoftheOrientallanguages,andRogerBacon.theFranciscan.taughttheChaldean.Arabicand Greeklanguages.RaymondLulloobtainedextraordinaryprivilegesfrom PopesCelestineV.andBonifaceVIII. topromoteOrientalstudiesandfor missionsintheOrient'TheOecumenicalCouncilofViennaandPope ClementV.orderedthattherebeinstitutedschoolsofOrientallanguages neartheRomanCuriaandattheuniversitiesofParis,Oxford,Bolognaand Salamanca.

PopePiusXI.hascontinuedthe workofhispredecessors,theEncyclicalpointsout,Hehastransferred theOrientalInstitutetoasitemore adaptedtoitsneeds,temporarilyplacingit-intheseatoftheBiblicalInstituteuntilitsownhomeisready. Moreover,inordertomakesurethat therewillalwaysbeacapablebodyof teachersattheinstitute,inSeptember,1922,heentrustedittotheJesuits, directingthegeneralofthatorderto carefortheinstitute,butreaffirming thatitwillalwaysremainunderthe directionofthePopeandhissuccessors.

Aftersixyearsofthisplanforthe institute,HisHolinessexpresseshimselfasdelightedandthanksGodfor theresultsobtained.Healsothanks theBishopsandsuperiorsofreligious orderswhohavesentcapableprieststo followthecoursesattheinstitote.

Havingthustracedthecontinuing andintensifyinginterestintheOrient oftheRomanPontiffs,HisHolinessin theEncyclicalremindstheBishopsof theworldthatespeciallyatthistime discussionofthequestionofreunionof thechurchesisbeingrenewed.

Itmayoftenhappen,headds,that priestscapableofsolvingthedifficultiesofProtestantswithregardtothe RomanCatholicChurchwillnotbe capableofsolvingthedifficultiesofthe OrthodoxbecausetheyarenotsufficientlyacquaintedwiththingsOrientalandwiththecustomsandritesof theOrient.

Accordingly,,HisHolinessexhorts theBishopstochooseatleastone priestwhocanbecomeateacherof Orientaldisciplineineveryseminary. HedesiresalsothatCatholicuniversitiesinstituteosurcesinOrientalstudies,andrejoicesthatthisalreadyhas beendoneinParis,Louvain,andLille.

Forhisownpart,thePopedeclares thathewillnotsparefatiguenorexpensetoseetheOrientalInstituteis certainofaflourishinglife.Hehas asignedititsownseat,neartheBasilicaofSt.MaryMajor,"devoting chieflytothepurchaseasumthat cametohimthroughtheliberalityof amunificentBishoplatelydead:and fromapiousgentlemanoftheUnited StatesofAmerica,forwhom,because ofthis,hedesirestoaskthelargest ofheavenlyrewards."

AidcametohimfromSpainto buildalargeandhelpfullibrary,His Holinessadds.Heknowsthrough theexperienceofhismanyyears spentintheAmbrosianandVatican libraries,theimportanceofsupplying thelibraryoftheOrientalInstitute withallthebooksanddocuments necessaryfortheprofessorsandpupils. Toobtainsuchasupply,heproposes tosparenosacrifice.Whilepraising thegenerosityofthosealreadymen tioned,hewillbemostgratefultoany. onewhowillhelphimwithgiftsof books,money,dodices,picturesorany documentsoftheChristianOrient.

Fromthissolicitudefortheirstudies,theOrientalswillseeinwhat honourtheRomanChurchholdsthe trueandlegitimateOrthodoxy.

"FlauntingtheKing'sAuthority"

SpeakingatSt.Mary'sChurch,Highfield-street,Liverpool(reportsanEnglishCatholicnewspaper),FatherKnox contendedthatbydeliberatelywinkingattheillegaluseoftherejected PrayerBook,theAnglicanBishopsare guiltyoftreason."Lookatitthis way,"hesaid."Thedaybeforeyesterday,theAnglicanBishopsdeclared theirintentionofwinkingattheillegalitythattheDepositedBook,twice rejectedbytheHouseofCommons, shouldbeused,nevertheless,inthe parishchurchesofEngland.Onwhat authority?Onthesoleauthorityof theAnglicanBishops.Tellme,isn't thattreason?

"Hereisaformofservicewhichthe supremegovernoroftheChurchof England,actingontheadviceofhis loyalCommons,hastwicerefusedto sanction.Thesemenwouldregardit, nevertheless,asbeingauthorisedfor use.Isn'tthattodenythespiritual authorityoftheEnglishCrown?And arenottheArchbishopofCanterbury, theArchbishopofYork,andtheBishopofLiverpoolworthytobehanged, drawnandquartered,ifBlessedCuthbertMayneandBleisedEdmundCampionwere?"

ItsOverthrowbyKemalista.

Dr.AlexanderMombelli,Jerusalem correspondentoftheN.C.W.C.News Service,writesunderdateAugust4: ThepoliticalrevolutionofMustafa KemalPashainthelandoftheancientSultansofIslamisoneofthemost amazingreformsinthehistoryofthe contemporaryNearandMiddleEast. Notonlywasthegovernmentalregime overthrown,buttheveryreligiousor-

ganisationofTurkey%vaschangedfundamentally.

Thereweremanychangeswhich flowedlogicallyfromtheproclamationoftheRepublic,buttheinnovationwhichmadeknowntherealessenceofthereformwasthedisestablishmentoftheMoslemfaithasthe officialreligionofTurkey.Thisisastep oftremendouspoliticalsignificance, consideringthatreligiousbeliefshave forcenturiesbeenatthebasisofall privateandsociallifeeverywherein theEast.

Thisgeneralmovement,whichhas bewilderedtheworldofIslam,is knownbytheChristianWestasa campaignofsecularisation.This, however,isnotanaccuratedesignation,forintheworldofIslamatrue secularisationisquiteimpossible,owingtothefactthatthereisnoecclesiasticalhierarchy.AmongthefaithfulofMahometthereisnopriesthood atall,eventhosevestedwithreligiousauthoritybelongtotheclassof laity.Jtisimpossibletofindinthe Moslemworldanydistinctionbetween clergyandlaity.Itisatheismrather thansecularisationthathasbeenintroducedintotheConstitutionofthe newTurkishRepublic.
