ROMAN CATHOLIC DECISION
Move to Further Union Of Christians s (Rec. 9.15) VATICAN! CITY, Feb. 28. The Hoiy (Office, the chief Roman Catholic authority on matters of dogma, to-day took the most im-portant-step in Vatican history towards co-operation with nonCathiics. . /
It authorised Roman, Catholic Bishops throughout the world to organise in special cases local conferences with Protestant theologians on subjects of common interest to further the union of all Christians. However, it insisted that such collaboration would be the object only of union as the Roman Catholic Church understood it. The instruction to bishops made it clear that the church sought a return of, “dissidents,” not a federation of churches. It declared that Roman Catholics cannot conceive of union except as a return to the one true faith. Permission for such local meetings —hitherto possible only on special permission from the Pope himself —is to last for three years.—Reuter.
