WITH MALICE TOWARD NONE
WE print in full this week the address to the students of Corpus Christi. College t given on Tuesday by Cardinal Heenan. So t clear and comprehensive is it that any sup; plementing of its immediate message, by way of editorial comment, would be superfluous.
There is however a relevant but wider context to the whole affair within which two of : the articles on this page have a special place. : Involved in such a context is that quest for : religious maturity in the light of past history, present needs, and the legitimately differing ; requirements and qualifications of individual ; Christians.
A well known Anglican priest, Fr. Ivan Z Clutterbuck, writes of the background and ; astonishing response to the opportunities t made available by the Church Union. But are ; not all Churches faced with the problem of equipping their adult members with a faith ; that is "child-like" without being childish? : Apart from its general and intrinsic interest, = Fr. Clutterbuck's article is thus an ideal "cur • tain-raiser" for Church Unity week in a sense o : somewhat analagous to what spiritual writers : call "remote preparation."
Z. Fr. Michael Richards goes further back in ;history to instance the theological "preceE .= dents" for modern catechetical judgements. t: : Thus, as both the Church and its members ; ever strive for greater maturity, genuine t,
tradition is preserved in each generation only
-4 through being "newly expressed by the great = minds of the Church."
• It is a sign of maturity to recognise, in the =. ▪ course of such activities, different areas of : = • authority, varying temperaments and widely t diverse opinions, with an ever increasing Z t degree of mutual respect. After this week it ; will be hard for anyone to say we have been t t ▪ "kept in the dark" or not "given a proper 1' lead."
Nor need any particular faction, or body of opinion, feel justified at rejoicing -in petty : fashion — over its supposed rivals. For the = 7 • clarification of the whole position is all the =2 : more notable for having been arrived at — : in Abraham Lincoln's phrase — "with malice :
toward none."
