Two Cardinals Warn On Lay Effort Christian disunity was a scandal, was against God's will and would require on almost prodigious effort to overcome. This was said by His Eminence Cardinal Gilroy, Archbishop of Sydney, when he addressed a Melbourne meeting of the Junior Chamber of Commerce this week. The meeting was also attended by representatives of the Anglican, Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist Churches, as well as the Jiwish Community. Cardinal Gilroy said that one of the main forces working against Christian unity was the modern degradation of moral standards. He said that by fighting the exploitation of sex in mass communications lay Christians could overcome this scandal of disunity. He said, "Moral degradation must lead to lack of interest in God, which must in turn result in a lack of drive towards a united Christian Faith." "There is a great need for the laity to assist the promotion of Christian unity, for all men of goodwill to help clean our society." His Eminence said that the laity could help in this regard by their example in private life and business dealings. He pointed out that about 90 per cent of the Christian union was made up of the laity and that it was up to these to press for unity.
"Crisis Of Authority" Meanwhile, in London, John Cardinal Heenan of Westminster said that the Catholic Church was going through a "crisis of authority." The Cardinal said that people are no longer prepared to be told what to do. The Church's position today is "utterly unprecedented" in modern times, he said, and during the period of the Ecumenical Council there is the danger of a growing split between clergy and laity and between the bishops and the educated laity. Some people believe the. bishops are out of touch, but that is not true, the Cardinal said. Obviously referring to the present "revolt" among a minority of educated Catholics in Britain over the recent liturgical changes and particularly over the introduction of English into the Mass, the Cardinal also said some people want to "go the whole hog" and have everything in English while others complain that the bishops have t aken away their beloved Latin. But the bishops believe they are doing what is right and they look to the laity, especially the educated laity, to support them, the Cardinal 'stated.
