By Adam DeVille<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirty years ago this fall I began working for Christian unity when I attended a gathering of the Canadian Council of Churches in Quebec City for all those of us who were going to the seventh general assembly of the World Council of Churches in Canberra, Australia in February 1991. After that very memorable assembly I continued to travel around the world (eventually making it to five of seven continents) as moderator of the WCC\u2019s Youth Working Group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the\ntime I returned from teaching in Ukraine in 2001, where I encountered the\npersonal pain of Orthodox-Catholic division first-hand and repeatedly, I knew\nthat I wanted the ecumenical problem of papal authority to be the focus of my\ndoctoral dissertation, and so it turned out to be, published a decade later by\nthe University of Notre Dame Press as Orthodoxy\nand the Roman Papacy: <\/em>Ut Unum Sint and\nthe Prospects of East-West Unity.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nmention this history only to say that it has now been three decades since I\nfirst heard the phrase \u201cecumenical winter\u201d and I thought I had seen the worst\nof it off. But perhaps not. Recent blasts of Catholic hatred towards fellow\nChristians have been almost demonic in their frigidity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the\nvery eve of this year\u2019s Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, online mobs of\nCatholics managed to make themselves so repellent that an invitation to use a\nCatholic church for an Episcopalian ordination collapsed. This \u201coffer of\nhospitality\u201d and \u201cact of charity\u201d extended by Bishop\nBarry Knestout<\/a> of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond to his\nlocal Episcopalian colleagues ended up being refused\nby the Episcopalians<\/a> who saw, rightly and sadly, that they had\nawakened such contempt in their Catholic brethren as to cause more problems and\npain than the convenience of using their building was worth to anybody. What a\nsplendid counter-witness on the eve of a week dedicated to Christians praying\nand working for unity! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My\nquestion for such Catholics as signed the online\npetition<\/a> against use of a Catholic parish is this: whom do you think\nyou have convinced to draw closer to Christ by your actions? Whose mind have\nyou changed, encouraging a greater openness to Catholic Christianity? Has the\ncountenance of the Catholic Church shone more brightly, clearly, and\nattractively as a result of your sanctimonious hostility that rendered even the\nuse of a Catholic building for just a few hours so toxic? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here I would like to tell these petitioners and bullies a story I tell every semester to my students, as I did just last week when my Prayer and Worship class began. I tell them of my maternal grandfather, in interwar Scotland, going to church as a very young man only to be regularly accosted, on the way out of his Protestant gospel tabernacle each Sunday evening, by a man who positioned himself at the doorway and fancied himself some kind of pugilistic pseudo-evangelist. This man regularly accosted my grandfather, grabbing him by the lapels and getting his contorted face into my grandfather\u2019s with a snarling question: \u201cSonny! Have you been saved yet?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My\ngrandfather shook him off in silence for a couple of weeks before telling his\nfather that either this man was told to back off or else the next time he did\nthat my grandfather was going to punch him in the nose. Apparently my\ngreat-grandfather had a word with this man who backed off, sparing my\ngrandfather the opportunity to indulge the boxing skills he would later hone in\nthe Royal Air Force. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which\nof you, I ask my students, would have found that man\u2019s approach a convincing\nsales tactic? Would you want to buy even a stick of gum from such a man, never\nmind join his church? Who of you would want to find out more about this salvation\nand this savior at the hands of such a man as this? How many of you find such\nan approach an attractive invitation to a deeper exploration of Christianity? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No\nhands ever go up, so then I ask them this: how many of you find such an\napproach a disincentive to faith? How many of you find it would make you less <\/em>interested in learning about Jesus\nChrist? How many of you can see how counter-productive this is? At this point\nall hands are in the air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ecumenical\nhostility was just a tempest in a local teacup compared to the fury awakened by\nthe cardinal prefect of the Roman dicastery for liturgy and sacraments whose\nforthcoming book on the priesthood, with, apparently, some modest contributions\nfrom the retired bishop of Rome, has made clear the contempt of said prefect and\na lot of other Roman Catholics for Eastern Orthodox Christians and Eastern\nCatholic Christians, and our practice of a married priesthood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is\nbad enough that Sarah continues propagating wholesale nonsense about an\n\u201contological link\u201d between celibacy and priesthood. (I deal with that rubbish\nin my forthcoming Married Catholic\nPriests, <\/em>under contract with the University of Notre Dame Press and to\nappear in late 2020 or early 2021.) Sarah\u2019s philosophical gibberish is a\ntendentious distortion of the Latin tradition itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nwhat is worse is that in excerpts of this book published in Le Figaro<\/em> Sarah\u2019s rant becomes\necumenically destructive as when, e.g., he denigrates married priests as second\nclass and calls them, inter alia, a \u201ca breach, a wound in the coherence of the\npriesthood.\u201d Sarah\u2019s hysterical and apocalyptic views are the true wounds here\nto the hearts and minds of thousands of Eastern Catholic clergy and their\nfamilies and to any hopes for unity with the Orthodox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nwith what masterful timing all this has taken place! Masterful, that is, by our\nmaster below, the father of lies and hatred. For these things emerged, as I\nnoted earlier, on the eve of the Week of Prayer for Christian unity. And what,\npray tell, is this year\u2019s theme? \u201cThey showed us unusual kindness\u201d (Acts 28:2).\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of whom in the Catholic Church today could that be said? If we cannot be kind to even our fellow communicants and their diverse traditions\u2014as between Latin and Eastern Catholics on married priesthood\u2014nor kind to our fellow Christians, why should the world pay us the least attention? Do we not see how our rancor and disdain is a counter-evangelical witness, perverting the proclamation of the gospel? If we cannot be basically and simply (never mind \u201cunusually\u201d) kind towards one another, are we not sinning against the Holy Spirit, one of whose fruits is indeed kindness? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
