  • Chapter 4 the Era of Bishop Alexander Carter (1958-1985) , the Consolidator
    1 CHAPTER 4 THE ERA OF BISHOP ALEXANDER CARTER (1958-1985) , THE CONSOLIDATOR Bishop Alexander Carter served under Popes John XXIII (1958-1963), Paul VI (1963- 1978), John Paul I (1978), and John Paul II (1978- ). The first two of these popes were modernizers, in stark contrast to Popes Pius XI and Pius XII, with whom their own inter- personal relations were somewhat difficult. As Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, the future John XXIII served Pius XI as papal envoy to Bulgaria, a largely Orthodox country, during the early 1930s. There he established a friendly relationship with King Boris III–too friendly in the eyes of Pius XI–and other Orthodox Christians, but with the help of Boris, John managed to smuggle Jews from Western Europe via Bulgaria into British-occupied Palestine during World War II. In 1935, Pius XI transferred Roncalli to Istanbul, the former centre of Orthodox Christianity. Roncalli’s Bulgarian and Turkish experiences strengthened his appreciation for good people whose theological beliefs were not identical with his own. As papal envoy to France after its liberation, he helped restore friendly relations between that country and the Vatican after the Vatican’s wartime envoy, Valerio Valeri, had been too supportive of Pétain’s Vichy régime for the liking of General Charles de Gaulle, liberator of France. In 1953, he became Patriarch of Venice, and when Pius XII died, the College of Cardinals selected Roncalli as Pope John XXIII. As Pope, John XXIII regarded Orthodox and Protestant Christians as brothers in Christ, people with whom he and other Roman Catholics could co-operate.
