CHICAGO, Sept. 17 -Church-men
and scholars are gathering
in a quiet Benedictine abbey near
Chicago to revive a religioui con
grpss blacked out by the Iron Cur
tain. U is the Unionistic Congress
that from 1907 until World War
War II met in Velehrad, Czecho
slovakia. Its aim ii to return
eventually tome 200 million Cath
olics of the Eastern Orthodox
churches to the Roman Catholic
Church, from which they became
separated centuries ago.
Velehrad was selected for the
original congress because it wa
there that" the saint. Cyril and
Methodius, apostles of the Slavs,
began Christianizing the Slavonic
peoples, 1,100 years ago.
First ia U.S.
St. Procopius Abbey In Lisle, a
suburb of Chicago, was chosen for
the first such congress in the
Vniled States because since 1927
it has held a papal commission
to work for reunion of those Ro
man Catholics who were lost in
the great Eastern schism that ex
tended from , 1054 to 1472.
Political and doctrinal differ
ences between the East, represent
ed by Constantinople, and the
West, represented by Rome, pro
duced the schism.
In calling for the congress, the
Rt. Rev. Ambrose Ondrak, Abbot
of St. Procopius, declared:
"It is necessary to create a fra
ternal oneness among those who
still cling to the ancient and
authentic faith of the Holy
Apostles, particularly with those
who live separated from the Holy
See of Rome.
DMsIm N.tea
"It is necessary to bridge the
gulf that has separated these dis
sident Eastern brethren for some
9O0 years, tragically dividing the
Apostolic Church into two es
tranged camps.
' In our present day, in the
midst of a titanic struggle be
tween the forces of the Christian
world against the might of a god
less materialism, the desire for
this reunion of the. Christian
churches is greater than ever."
Two cardinals, clergymen and
Byzantine scholars from the Unit
ed States and abroad will partici
pate in the three-day program
Sept. J8-S0. On Sunday the sacred
liturgy according to the Byzantine
rite will be celebrated. In the
Western, or Latin, church, this
ceremony is called the Mass.
A popular misconception among
Roman Catholics as well as oth
ers, churchmen say. is that the
Roman rite is the only one in un
ion with the Pope.
Actually there are more than
tight million non-Latin Roman
Catholics, a million of whom are
In North America and about 100.
ono in South America.
Later Rennlted
These people are descendants of
Eastern Christiana who either did
not break from Rome in the
schism or later reunited, as the
I'nionistic Congress sponsors hope
the Orthodox members someday
may do.
Largest of these Eastern, or
Oriental, rites is the Byzantine,
with eight sub-rites drawn along
lingual or ethnical lines. Subrites
include the Greek. Russian. Bul
garian. Hungarian and others.
