Pop# Witt Review Efforts 11 Looking to Reunion of; si Christianity, Is Report Benedict Will Appoint Cardinals' For Work Launched by Pope Leo; _ Dropped by Pius (Associated rim.) WASHINGTON, Jan. Private let ters from the Vatican received by Dr A. Palmleri of the Library of Con Kress, a recognised writer on eccle siastical subjects, announced that Pope Benedict XV., is about to ap point a commission or four cardinal! to renew a movement begun oy Pop! Leo XIII., and abandoned by Popi Pius X., looking to a reunion of Chris tianity and the cultivation of frlendlj relations with the Angllban church. A public announcement on the subject from Home is expected shortly. Dr. Talmierl said tonight that th< new movement, as outlined in his ad vices, will be directed particularly to ward the establishment of a reunlor of the Russian Church and the papacj and to a thorough re-examination in to the validity of Anglican or Epla copal ordinations, which was settled in the negative in a papal bull ‘'apos tolical sedis,” by Pope Leo . New Cardlnf Will Preside. The honor of presiding over thi commission of cardinals. Dr. Palmleri has been Informed, will - be bestowed upon Cardinal Nicola Marini, one ol the new cardinals created in the Iasi consistory, who has devoted many years to scientific research and to the cause of a reunion of Christianity. The Interest of the pope In the prob lem of Christian unity is said to have been intensified by the recent pro gress of the world congress, initiated by the' American Episcopal Church. "The new pope,” said Dr. Palmleri, summarising the information received from Rome, “has taken a considerable part in the efforts of neutral nationa to establish peacei among nations and the Vatican’s efforts have been sug gested not only by a /humanitarian spirit but by a longing for Christian unity and ending the conflict which long since has divided Christian churches. Efforts of Leo. XIII. for carrying out the reunion for Christi anity were abruptly stopped by Pitft X., who aimed at an inner reform of the Catholic clergy and turned all hla energies to the crushing of modern ism. ■ Time to Renew Policy. "Benedict XV. thinks it Is time to renew the policy of Leo XIII., and also that a re-establishment of a po litical peace would be the first step toward renewed attempts to stop th< splitting of Christianity into a great number of sects. "For this purpose the pope Intend! to set up a commission of four cardi nals who will devote their Intellec tual and* moral energies to the stufi) and solution of the different problemi of religious dissensions within Christ endom. “It seems to the Vatican .that the orthodox Slavs will be very soon call ed to take a more active part in th< life of western nations, either Prot estant or Catholic, and that it is nec essary to come to an understanding with them in order to avoid evils pro duced by religious Intolerance.' Th< newly 'planned commission of cardi nals will pay attention to yearning! for unity whiefi from time to tlmi manifest themselves in the orthodox churches and to cultivate friendly re lations with the Anglican church. Win Re-examine Arguments. "One at the most Important taski of the new commission will be a thor ough re-examlnatlon ol the argumenti pro and con on the validity of Angli can ordinations. The bull ‘apostlca sedla' by Leo X., hu settled In the ' negative the problem of that validity, but generally theological oehoole as aume a more favorable attitude to ward aknowledgment of the validity of Anglican orders and the new com mission of cardinals will1 carefully ponder the reasons set forth by Rus sian and Anglican divines against the decision of Pope Leo X. The friend ship of the Anglican churigi la appre ciated by Rome, for she may be as a link of union between Roman Cathol icism and Russian orthodoxy. "The Interest of the Vatican In the problem of Christian unity has been aroused by the recent progress of the world conference, the welt known ini tiative movement of the American Episcopal Church. The movement to wards Christian unity, started by the world conference, excited Interest and sympathies In Rome, and Cardinal Qasparrl. in the, napie of ttv& pope, wrote to the secretary of the world conference. Robert H. Qardlner, sev eral letters which seem to reproduce th style and the feelings of Leo XIII. But t^at corrspondence would not , have had any tangible results If the conference ha'd not met with a great success In Russia. The official organ of the holy synod has praised the In itiative of the world conference and exhorted the Russian helrarchy to give their co-operation to It." Russians Arc Juyeus. Dr. Palmlert made public a letter he had Just received from Prof. W. Eksempllarskl, editor of The Chris tian Thought, In which the Russian - writer said: "It Is with a feeling of Joy that Russians see their American brothel’s take In hand the Initiative-of Chris tian unity with energy and assidu ity." "Of course Rome cannot see with Indifference the growing friendship between Angllclanlsm and Orthodoxq," Dr. Palmlerl declared, "and conse quently the new commission of car dinals will examine whether Ameri can Christianity feels instinctively the need of harmonising the various ten dencies of Christian mind to form a united Protestantism which would be the first step toward a united- Chris tianity. "In this field It is felt In Rome that the United States have a providential ‘ mission to fulfill. America Is an im mense reservoir of Christian energies which cannot now exert thelV whole Influence, for they are scattered. Therefore the fact that divided branches of Christianity may meet and discuss In the spirit of tolerance the controverted points among the Christian churches. Is already a great victory over the spirit of Intolerance and division.” Clerks and Carriers ■ Would Get Increases (Associated Press.) * WASHINGTON.
