union of the Church "fills our hearts with hope," the Pope con fessed. "We see more clearly that it falls on the heads of the churches and their hierarchies to put the churches on the path to full communion. This they must do by recognizing' and 'respecting each other as shepherd of that part of the £lock of Christ which has been 'entrusted to them, guarding the cohesion and the growth of the people of God and avoiding all which could dis perse them or create confusion in their ranks." It was conjectured that in his talk with TUI'kish political leaders, the Pope asked Turkey to intervene in every way pos

Turkish officials saw to it that the Pope saw most of the beautiful and historic city.'

.. "A by-product of this program would surely be, in most cases, the good one of holding the white population in neighbor hoods now almost entirely Ne gro," he stated. The priest did not suggest that the Church close its schools in the inner city. Father Koob said it would be unthinkable for Catholic educa tors either to "shy away from" or "try to duplicate" educational parks and other types of leam centers ellcouraged by recent federal legislation. As such learning centers be came more prominent, "paro chial schools will face the prob lems of shared time' in a very real sense," he said.

Yet the Patriarch has found countless difficulties among the Orthodox themselves and espe cially from Turkish political of ficials who have interpreted mimy of his zealous attempts as proselytism against the Moslem majority.
