...will follow you," sniffed Cyprus' bearded Archbishop Makarios to retired Greek Army Colonel George Grivas. The year was 1951, and the two were meeting in Cyprus to discuss Grivas' plan for an armed uprising against the British. Though Grivas went on to lead his revolt-and help win independence for Cyprus in 1960-the soldier and the Archbishop could never seem to make peace. Last week they were bickering as bitterly as ever. Only this time, their disagreement was threatening the six-month-old government of Greek Premier Stephan Stephanopoulos...
...visit to the Vatican last week by the Most Rev. Michael Ramsey, Anglican Primate of All England, was shadowed by enmities past and lighted by amity present. Apart from a 1960 "courtesy visit" to John XXIII by Ramsey's predecessor, Geoffrey Fisher, no Archbishop of Canterbury had called on a Pope since Archbishop Arundel went to see Boniface IX in 1397, long before Henry VIII broke with Rome. Distrust of the papacy still persists strongly in Britain. Hitchhiking aboard the airliner winging Ramsey to Rome were five unwelcome ministers of Baptist and Presbyterian sects, who on arrival doffed their...
...Growing in Unity." Pope Paul VI and the 100th Archbishop of Canterbury met in a site suitable to the historicity of the encounter: the Sistine Chapel, where Popes are chosen and, upon death, rest in state.

Canterbury addressed the Pope as "Your Holiness, dear brother in Christ," and as his main point said: "It is only as the world sees us Christians growing visibly in unity that it will accept through us the divine message...
...excommunication against Catholics who marry outside the Roman Church, and in several other ways softened "the stiffness of present legislation" on mixed marriages. Paul issued his 1,500-word decree on The Sacrament of Matrimony just four days before the scheduled arrival in Rome of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who had planned to discuss the Catholic Church's refusal to accept the validity of mixed marriages performed outside the church and its insistence that children of such unions be raised as Catholics...
...Subtle Casuistry."The church's willingness to grant annulments while refusing to permit divorce troubles many Catholics. At the Vatican Council's concluding session, Melchite Archbishop Elias Zoghbi denounced the "subtle casuistry" of the church: "It happens that after ten or 20 years of marriage, they suddenly discover an impediment that permits everything to be resolved as though by magic. Our faithful are sometimes stupefied and scandalized by it all." He suggested that the Catholic Church allow divorce on certain grounds, such as abandonment, as the Orthodox churches...
