"Because universality is correlative of unity and because unity is defined in clear and unmistakable terms by St. Paul . . . we are easily led to believe that universality . . . is uniformity." On the contrary, Pope Paul said, "multiplicity must be recognised, respected and indeed promoted and vivified."
"This attitude of Catholics towards non-Catholics is now sharpening and developing, although it also belongs to the honest and positive traditional manner in which the Church has considered the Gentiles and pagans." This impression of ancient values to be preserved, the Pope said, was the result of his meeting with the Indian people. But, he added, the impression "does not end in irenicism or syncretism, but rather imposes on the apostolic dialogue the need for much moderation, wisdom and patience. It reminds us further that Christianity is not linked to any one civilisation, but is designed to express itself according to the character of each, so long as the civilisation is truly human and open."
VISIBLE MARK Another impression the Pope gained from his India trip, he said, was the "complex and fruitful significance" of the Church's visible mark of universality, which "indicates the ever-expandable multiplicity of human forms which can become part of the unique Mystical Body of Christ. "We are quick to say that all men are called to salvation, and that the Church has an unlimited capacity to receive all of mankind within its house. And because universality is a correlative of unity— defined clearly and unmistakably by St. Paul When he says 'one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and father of all'

Pope Paul Urges Broader Concept Of Universality
CASTING his thoughts in the framework of his recent trip to India, the Pope said: -The duty immediately arises of knowing better those peoples with whom we come in contact by reason of the Gospel, recognising all the good they possess, not only in their history and civilisation, but also in the heritage of moral and religious values which they possess and preserve.
ORGAN OF
THIS PROPERTY IS BEING
(Eph. 4, 6) —we are easily led to believe that the extension of unity to mankind in the practical order of reality is not only universality but uniformity. "In fact, merely considering that peoples with cultures, landifferent guages and nationalities are called to constitute one Body and one Spirit . . . in one hope' (Eph. 4, 3) at first astonishes us . . . Then it leads us to the discovery of innumerable problems, most delicate and difficult, from which we progress to the reflection that all that multiplicity must be recognised, respected and indeed promoted and vivified.
GREATER COURAGE "in other words, we must have a more adequate concept of the universality of the Church, a greater desire for human brotherhood to which it educates and obliges us, and we must face with greater apostolic courage questions relating to the presence of the Church in the world."

BIG PROGRAMME The Westminster diocese, which serves about half the London area, has just announced plans for a school expansion programme costing nearly A 7,000,000 over the next five years. Much of this money will have to be borrowed. Most other dioceses are equally deep in debt. The Liverpool diocese has a bill of about A3.500,000 for its new cathedral—and for this, as for the new parish churches, Catholics have to find all the money. It c omes mostly from the banks. The new Catholic teachers' colleges, the seminaries, the charitable institutions, the convents all need borrowed money. And with the ordinary lay Catholic, the ultimate source of finance, himself likely to be hit in his personal life by the new economic squeeze. Catholic development in Britain faces a serious slow-down.
