- Catholics hope papal trip to
Athens will highlight discrimination
WARSAW, Poland (CNS) -- Catholics hope Pope John Paul II's May 4-5
visit to Athens will draw attention to discrimination facing their
church in predominantly Orthodox Greece. However, a church leader
said he doubted the pope's presence would be enough to encourage
reforms, which currently face strong Orthodox opposition. "At
some stage, the situation has to change here," said Archbishop
Nikolaos Foscolos of Athens in an April 26 telephone interview.
"But this is a pilgrimage in the steps of St. Paul, rather than
a state or pastoral visit. So there simply won't be time to raise
the Catholic Church's problems here." Article 3 of the
Constitution of Greece, a NATO and European Union member-state,
declares Orthodoxy the "dominant religion" and prohibits
Bible translations without the Orthodox Church's consent.

- Vatican official says Buddhists,
Christians must work together
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- With respect for each other's unique
traditions, Buddhists and Christians must work together to
"build up a civilization of love and peace," the Vatican's
top interreligious official said. Differences in cultural expression
between Christianity and Buddhism "may sometimes have been
obstacles to dialogue in the past, but they should be so no
longer," said Cardinal Francis Arinze, president of the
Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue. The Nigerian
cardinal made his remarks in an annual message to the world's 356
million Buddhists for the feast of Vesakh, commemorating the
principal events in the life of Siddhartha Gautama, Buddhism's
founder. The text was released at the Vatican April 30.
