Let’s Be Practical About Christian Unity:

The practical question we ask oursel-
ves in this country, both the clergy and
laity, if we are really sincere about the
ecumenical spirit question, do we put
it into practice? The Catholic clergy and
laity say with hand on heart that they
feel awkward sometimes about the mech-
anics of Christian unity and brotherhood
at the parish level.

In the Catholic Herald recently an
American Catholic priest explained how
he sees things in Britain and Ireland in
the text of the ecu ical n t

He wants to know why we are not
getting down to the positive good works
or actions which should substantiate the
profession of charity among ALL Christ-
ians? i ;

How, many priests, for instance, ex-
press love for all God’s children and how
many laity do the same, but fail to frater-
- .nise with: their Protestant brothers, find-

ing’ convenient excuses for not doing so.
Is this in the spirit of the Ecumenical
movement?

Can Catholics and Protestants not rise
above the suspicions and inhabitions of
history and make a courageous break with
the conventional segregation that separ-
ates Christians from Christians? Can we
not make a greaterieffort to break thro-
ugh the tacit social embargo which even
inside the Catholic Church keeps clergy
and laity in a paradoxical separateness.

Cc iously or sub: iously we are
making an issue out of the historical basis
of Christian divisions. We need to follow
the heartfelt, Holy Christ-inspired move of

the two Popes, John and: Paul, somewhat
more vigorously than we are doing at, the
moment. 4 :

If we do not cherish and activate
grassroots ecumenical movement, how
can we expect the Council in Rome to
fulfill the aims and inspirations which are
the purpose of these historic meetings.

‘The distance between clergy aml lai-
ty and between Christians of: all kinds
have undoubtedly a historic basis in these
countries; but as the American cleric
points out in the article referred to, “It
makes the same kind of sense as racial

_ discrimination in America. What is need-
ed in both cases is a resolute action to —

bleak down barriers and to remedy the
inadequacies.” ;

It is time that we gave some thought .

to these matters with a view to rectifying
our faults. Let us quote once more from
the article in question, “An authentic ecu-

ical Catholic t should be big-
ger, truly ‘more universal, than all the
inner divisions.”

To achieve this end we must now
break down the remaining artificial bar-
riers that divide us from other Christians.
We must reexamine our habits and our
behaviour. We must run to ground all
those prejudices. and practices which are
founded in the negative absence of charity
and love.’ Something more ‘than lip-ser-
vice is called for if we are to boast, as so
any of us do that we are putting into
practice the true Eumencical spirit which
the Council enjoins. — Carlow (ireland)
