Catholic Union Is Union in Catholicism.—
One letter that is said to have aroused much enthusiasm at the late World's Missionary Conference was from the Roman Catholic bishop Bono Melli, of Cremona, Italy. After referring to certain reasons for united efforts in evangelization, he spoke of them as affording “a sound basis for future discussion, tending to promote the union of all believers in Christ.” He showed, however, his only plan of union in his closing words: “May truth be as a shining light, illuminating your consciences and making you all of one heart and one mind. My desire for you is but the echo of Christ’s words which have resounded through the centuries, ‘Let there be one flock and one shepherd.’” But Mgr. Bono Melli’s one flock is the Roman Catholic Church, and the one shepherd is the pope of Rome.
