Dec. 2'7 (CPl Roman Catholic schools will be a lively, if minor. issue in Britain's coming general election. Catholic bishops say Church schools are being "administered out of existence" under a 1944 act re- quiring elaborate assembly halls, laboratories and other facilities in school buildings. They maintain that although these appendages in themselves are laudable. they have nothing tn do with religious education and the Government should Toot the entire bill. Under the 1944 act the Church must put up 50 per cent. an amount the bishops say is pmviilg “ruinous." Education Minister George Tom- linson turned down the bishops’ proposals. The Conservatives and liberals joined the Labor Party in letting it be known they also op- posed a change in the 1044 aci. ‘The Catholic hierarchy came back with ll statement it ivould use every means at its disposal "to make known the staggering am- ount or money they are expected to pay.

DON GILBERT (Canadian Press Staff Writer) LONDON f- ADDroach of Holy Year has stirred inter-psi, in Bmr ain in the possibility that Pope Pm! will 11111116 a move in 195i) toward uniting Christians iii a 1155:8811! against Soviet Commun. A special article in the Times said: "There is widespread hope that Rome will make a gesture to the Christian world in keeping with the realities of the hour." _ Publication of the article brought sacks of letters to the Tunes. Anglican bishops, Catholic priests and intellectuals, laymen of all denominations aired their views on whether a rapprochment is pos- Slblc. or desirable. between the Catholic and Protestant Churches. Many thought that if agreement on dogma and yvorship were out of the question, at least a united front could be devised on political and moral matters such as the so. viet threat to Christianity in East- ern Europe. "The struggle against ItIflfAlall paganism, in which the Roman Church has given so unequivocal a lemd. is creating a. common Chris- tian Sympathy." said the Times article. “There is much to support the view that the time now is ripe for re-exaniining the relations he- tween Rome and the other Chris- tian bodies." Public Opinion In a subsequent editorial -surn- ming up the exchange of views. the Times said the \'oll1mc of cor- respondence "shows how deeply public opinion is engaged by these questions." Justification for the discussion. the Times said, could be found in the fact the Catholic Church is being fiercely persecuted in many countries, and “behind the iron curtain it provides the only organ- ized representation of the western tradition in thought and morals." To members of the Anglo-Catli- olic. or "highchurcli" wing or the Anglicans. the debate revived memories of the Convcrsatioru of Malines during the early 1020s. when the late Cardinal Merciei- of Belgium and the late Viscount Halifax sponsored exploratory talks on healing the wounds of the Re- formation. Many Anglicans considered that Pope Pius XI closed the door to conciliation when lie issued his 1928 encyclical "Mortaliuln Arli- mos." This view was countered in the current exchange of opinion by Robert Sencourt, Catholic writ- er. who went on: "The Roman Catholic Church not only recognizes good in other Christian bodies. but is ready to co-operate in good works . . .. In short, the way is open to resume conversations as at Malines and to enlarge their scope." Widely-Discussed One of the most widely-discuss- ed proposals came from a Beno- dictine Father, Rev. Columba. Oary-Eiwes of Ampleforth Abbey. York. Dom Columbia. urged: 1. Joint action by the churches on political and kindred issues. 2. Meetings between representa- tlve Roman Catholics and Anglo- Catholics to discuss vvaYS 11ml means of achieving “the great re- turn. not by way of bargaining but by that of understanding." A Jesuit. Rev. JR. Wingliold Dlgby of Oxford. endorsed confer- ences between Catholics and Prot- estants as "never more ursfillh" and added; "Humanly speaking, they are our only hope of draw- ing closer together in the hour of our common peril."
