POPE ON CHURCH UNITY
WARNING TO THE PEOPLE “PERNICIOUS FALSENESS” By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 1.55 p.m. ROME, Tuesday. A Papal encyclical disapproving of the pan-Christian movement specially interests English Catholics. The Pope explores the state of mind which holds all religions to be
equally estimable am urge a false religious unity between Christians, thereby seeking : to undermine the basis of Catholicism. “It; is impossible,” he adds, “to have a Christian league in which the faithful arefree to have a ner-
tree to nave a per- Hope Pius sonal criterion, since it would lead to indifferentism.” The Pope directs bishops to forewarn the people against such pernicious falseness, and clarify the principles of religious unity. The encyclical confutes various non-Catholic arguments in favour of a unionistic thesis, and affirms that church unity is obtainable only by a return of dissidents to the Roman Catholic Church.—A. and N.Z.-Sun.
