THEQUESTIONOF REUNION

Inreturningtotheirhome, theywillnothavetoforego anyoftheGospelteaching orofthedevotiontheyalreadypossess,God'sgiftto them,butwhosesourceand nativelandistheCatholic Church.

THENECESSITYOF VISIBLEUNITY

ITisnotenoughfor separatedChristiansto respecteachotherand meetinaspiritofcharity. Thisverycharityoftheirs shouldmakethemseek visibleunityintheone ChurchofChrist.

TheRomanCatholic Churchhaspreservedsuch aunityinspiteofallthe divisionsthathaveoccurred. Nodoubtthesplendourand forceofthisunitywere lessenedbythebreakaway oftheEasternChurchand bytheReformation,but

Norisitenoughtopostponetheachievementof unityofallChristianstothe endoftheworld,andtosay thattheunityoftheChurch isaneschatologicalgift,or toputforwardthe"branch theory"thatthedifferent Christianconfessionsare branches'ofthetreewhich istheoneChurch.Finally, itisnotenoughtoclaima hiddenunityandtosaythat allwhobelieveinChristas GodandRedeemerarealreadyinvisiblyone,andwe mustbesatisfiedwiththat. Christundoubtedlywilled avisibleunity.Christianity initsorigin,theChurchof thefirstage,formeda visibleunityinthedoctrines offaith,inworship,ingovernment.IgnatiusofAntioch,IrenaeusofLyons, CyprianofCarthage,Augustineandthegreatdoctorsof theEastgavethisvisible unitytheologicalformulation,andtheecumenical councilsaimedatprotectingorrestoringit.

Thesignificanceofthisissue isnotinthelonglistof uppercrustwhounderstood musicsowellastoapplaud betweenmovementswhich, ifEuropeanmannersare universal,isstrictlynon-U, butinthepersonofits principalperformer.Pablo Casals,now84,isperhaps notstillatthepeakofhis powers,buthisplaying lacksnothinginmusical understandingandthisdisc couldbeahappysouvenirof hislastyears.

Ofthis,onlytheSchumann hasbeenrecordedelsewhere andonlyinitsoriginalform (AdagioandAllegrofor HornandPianoinAflat, Op.70).Allthissideis beguilinglybeautifulandan extraordinaryperformance forsuchanagedman.

BEETHOVEN:PianoConcertoNo.4.RondoinG, Opus51No.2.RichterHaaser/Philharmonia/ Kertesz.Columbia,57/6. Kertesz,remarkedinthis columnlastweekforafine debutwithDvorak's"New World"Symphony,givesus herearemarkablymature andbalancedBeethoven.
