POPE'S AUTHORITY
CHURCH UNION PROBLEM. MATTER TO BE FACED. LONDON, July 16. “ Any steps loading to a reconciliation of the Churches of England and Rome could not fail to a profound influence on the question of Christian reunion.” said Lord Halifax, president of the English Church Union, when addressing the Anglo-Catholic Congress at the Albert Hall, at whicli the Duke of Argyll, the Earl of Rhafesbury, and the Bishops of Lewes, Woolwich, and Halifax wore present. Lord Halifax called attention to the fact that reunion with Rome would not be attainable without acknowledging the Pope, who, when acting in full union with the Episcopate, must be regarded as the centre and a symbol of unity, invested with apostolic authority over the visible Church, of Christ throughout the world. “This,” said Lord Halifax, “is a' matter which we must face with all its implications.”
