Clearly indicating the impor­tance he attaches to ~ncourage­ment of religious vocations,Bishop Daniel A Cronin' has for­gone attendance at Sunday's pa­pal Mass in Washington in orderto be present at the VocationAwareness Day to be held atBishop ConnolIy High School,FalI River.

Throughout his pontificate,Pope John Paul II has stressedthe important role of youth inthe church. Sunday's programwill share that emphasis, alsohighlighting vocational oppor­tunities for mature Christians,including the permanent diacon­ate.

-The day will begin at 2 p.m.with Bishop' Cronin as principalconcelebrant of a Mass for vo­cations.

FolIowing the Mass, refresh­ments will be served and those.in attendance will be invited tovisit exhibits representing the di­ocesan priesthood, the diaconateand alI religious communitiesactive in the diocese.

Color television will be avail­able for those wishing to viewthe papal Mass and accompany­ing activities in Washington.

The purpose of the day, saidSister M. Evangela McAleer,RSM, its chairperson, is "to ex­press in a very tangible andspiritual way the gratitude ofthe diocese to the countlesspriests and religious who haveserved the People of God.

"It is also to look to the fu-

ture and ina spirit of prayer toseek more laborers for the har­vest. FinalIy, it gives the op­portuility to the young membersof the diocese to come and be­come familiar with the ministryof the priests and religious whoserve the church."

Goals of the planning com­mitte, she said were:

- t.o show that the priest­hood and religious life are es­sential to worship and' ministry

This Sunday, as well as beingthe last day of the papal visitand the date of Pope John PaulII's climactic "farewell Mass" atthe National Mall in Washington,is Respect -Life Sunday.

.In the Fall River diocese,Father Thomas L. Rita, diocesandirector of the prolife aposto­'late, has forwarded Respect Lifeposters, suggested bulletin in­serts, prayer cards and informa- .tion regarding appropriate litur­gical and paralliturgical cere­monies to alI·diocesan parishes.

The pontiff is expected to'make reference' to the nationalobservance during his Sundayhomily. And his encyclical,"Redemptor Hominis," furnishedbackground material for an ar­ticle in the current Respect Lifemanual, issued in connection

with parish activities on behalfof the entire range of human life.

Are the concerns of ban-the­bombers and those of pro-liferscut from the same cloth, is theql,lery posed by Father FrancisX. Meahan in the Respect Life

.,article.

Father Meehan's answer isyes. The priest, who teachesmoral theology at St. CharlesBorromeo Seminary in Philadel­phia, says !hat the question goesto the heart of the contention ofPope John Paul's encyclical:that the issue of abortion shouldbe seen in the wider social con­text.

Putting pro-life work in a con­text such as this makes the gos­pel of life a sword that cutsboth ways," notes the priest.

DUBLIN, Ireland I(N"C)-In histhird "pilgrimage of faith," PopeJohn Paul II became a "pilgrimof peace." In Ireland he con­stantly stressed the need for end­ing the civil- strife in NorthernIreland.

The peace message was deliv­ered to Protestants and Cath­olics, priests and politicians,bishops and laymen. All wereasked to heed church teachingsagainst resorting to violence asa means of redressing injustice.

The first pope to visit Irelandalso praised the strong faith ofthe Irish and bad that faith dem­onstrated to him by the millionswho thronged to his open-airMasses and liturgical services.About 2.5 million people of Ire­land's 3.5 million Catholics sawthe pope in person during hisvisit.

Pope Comes To TownWith rain and rejoicing,

Massachusetts greeted PopeJohn Paul II. His Aer Lingusplane, the St. Patrick, arrived inBoston on schedule Monday afew minutes before 3 p.m. Asteady mist which had begunonly a half hour before the papalplane touched down dampenedthe press and the 400 specialguests who gathered on the tar­mac at Logan InternationalAirport.

After Cardinal HumbertoMedeiros of 'Boston and a U.S.protocol officer went into theplane to greet the pope, heemerged to be greeted by na­tional, state and local officials,along with about 50 red andpurple robed cardinals and bish­ops, and then to walk up thesteps of a specially constructedplatform for a welcoming ad­dress by Rosalynn' Carter, repre­senting the president.

"This may be your first visitto our shores as pope," Mrs.Carter said, "but you do not ar­rive as a stranger. You havestirred the world as few haveever done before."

Pope John Paul then openedhis remarks with the words,"Praised be Jesus Christ!"

"It is a great joy for me tobe in the United States of Am­erica, to begin my pastoral visitto the Catholic Church in thisland, and at the same time togreet all the A'merican people,of every race, color and creed,"he said.

From the airport, the pope'smotorcade traveled to HolyCross Cathedral via North andSouth Bost<>n, Dorchester andRoxbury. The entire route waslined with singing, shouting,clapping crowds.

At the cathedral he was greet­ed with applause and cheers byover 2000 priests representingevery New E11g1and diocese.

"To all," he said, "I want tosay how happy' I am to be inyour midst. I pray for each ofyou, asking you to remain al­ways united in Jesus Christ and'his church, so that. together wemay "display. to the world ourunity in proclaiming the mysteryof Christ, in revealing the divinedimension and also the humandimension of the Redemption,and in.struggling with unweary·ing perserverance for the digni­ty that each human being hasreached and can continuallyreach in Christ" ("RedemptorHominis," .11).

EDITORRev. John F. Moore,

CU Professor' Predicted Papal Choice

'How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him thatbringeth goo~ tidings, and that preacheth peace.' Is. 52:7

As far as the name the cardi­nal would choose as pope,Dougherty seems to think it wasan obvious guess knowing hisphilosophy and understandinghow he thinks.

According to Dougherty, thepope is a man of his times. Hewas influenced greatly by theteachings of Aristotle and St.Thomas Aquinas, among others,but his language, the way herelates and expresses himself,is contemporary.

The pope gives traditionalthought a fresh interpretationand' appeal and his rhetoric is"learned and savvy," In short,Dougherty said the pope is aman who enjoys a good argu­ment and does not back awayfrom a fight.

He is much more conservativethan most people might realize," ,Dougherty said, "but I think hehas the charisma and the know­how to get his ideas across. He'sactually not that different fromPope Paul VI, but he has thephysical vim and vigor which, isvery important,"

The philosophy dean has morethan just a passing familiaritywith the pope's thinking. Aseditor of the Review of Meta­physics, a prestigious philosophi­cal journal, 'he is about to pub­lish .a treatise agreed upon dur­ing the pope's earlier visit toThe Catholic University ,ofAmerica.

The December issue will in­clude "The Person: Subject andCommunity" by one KarolWojtyla. Dougherty hopes, topresent the pope with pageproofs while he is at the Uni­versity.

are important to them.Early on, according to Dough­

erty, the pope was introducedto a member of the WashingtonPhilosophy Clubl Sigmund Tim­berg, a Washington attorney,horn in Krakow, Poland. Severalhours later, as the pope was

'leaving, he spotted Timberg,called him by name and invitedhim to visit Krakow as his guest.

These attributes alone werenot what led Dougherty to con­sider Karol Cardinal Wojtyla,"papabile," the term Italians usefor men of papal quality.

"I felt we were in the presenceof a great man for' several rea­sons," Dougherty said. "He isintelligent, learned, and he hasthe courage of his convictions.He also has tremendous pietytowards his traditions and roots.He acknowledges his debt toGod, to his country and to hispeople."

DO\lgherty said he believed' itwas only a matter of time untilthese qualities became apparentto the College of Cardinals. It

- is his conjecture that the cardi­nals began to know Cardinal.Wojtyla during the first conclavewhen Pope John Paul I waselected. When they rt:lconvenedafter his short reign, the in­creased exposure brought thePolish cardinal to the fore.

"Of course politics play an im­portant role in papal elections,"Dougherty said, "but in this casethe conventional explanation ­politics - may be too conven-tional," '

"I like to think there wasmore to it than that. I think theelection of Pope John Paul IIwas a triumph of human natureover po.lj!ics,'· I

the living

When Pope John Paul II re-''turns to the Catholic Universityof America on Sunday, he willrenew his ,acquaintance with theman who predicted he wouldbecome pope.

Dr. Jude Dougherty, dean ofthe University's School of Philos­ophy, not only foretold the elec­tion of Karol Cardinal Wojtyla,he even predicted he would takethe name John Paul II.

Dougherty is no soothsayer,but it wasn't the first time he'dmade that prediction. Since1976, when the then CardinalWojtyla came to lecture onphilosophy at The Catholic Uni­versity of America, Doughertysaid he knew he was someonespecial - both as a philosopheran~ a human being. ,

The fact that the cardinal isreturning to the Washington,D.C., institution as Pope JohnPaul' H to make a major addresson Catholic education amplyaffirms the dean's judgment.

"I had invited him not as acardinal but, as a professional

, philosoper," Dougherty said,"and he made a great impres­sion on the entire audience, bothas a philosopher and as a tIumanbeing. The believers, and thenon-believers alike, were deeplymoved by him." \

"He is not a cold intelectual,"Dougherty continued. "Hiswarmth and conviviality wereapparent immediately and therewas no ecclesiastical aloofnessabout the man. In philosophicalterms he was 'disponable' whichmeans open and friendly.", Dougherty remembers the popeas a man with a remarkableability to relate to people, to re­call their names and things that

A Right Spirit

The pages, indeed the 'volumes, that will reflect PopeJohn Paul's first visit to this nation and in particular to NewEngland will tax the talents of historians for years to come.These few editorial words are but the feeble attempt of oneeditor to mark an event that goes far beyond the mere his­toric.

Adjectives abound and descriptive phrases pour forthin abundance as one attempts to capture in words the mean­ing of this event. What is truly simple is in itself a cause ofcomplexity. What is truly religious and moral' is confusedby the secular. What is historic becomes histrionic.

The magnitude of the media, the diversity of the dra­matic and the elation of the epthusiastic tend to distort thepilgrim, the pious 'and the plain.

Maybe it is that we have come into an age when eventhe reality of a papal visit cannot be devoid of the bom­bastic. Here in this land symbolism and signs have madethe Pope an instant star whose attraction knows no bounds.

In.a way this is sad, for it negatively affects individualrelationships. Not, of course, that all the wo"rld's peoplewho would like to meet the Holy Father could do so in alifetime; but rather that crowds tend to remove his person.from' the individual.

The insecurity of our own national mood is also anobstacle to the Holy Father'~ ability to move about freely'without the constant fear of harm to his own person.

The evil lurking in the hearts of so many fanaticstends to create a reaction of over-protection. The security"logistics involved in this papal visit are indeed unprece­dented. Yet, as such precautions guard the person of thepope they at the same time tend to thwart his desire to betruly present to each anti everyone of those hearing andseeing him.

What should be very personal becomes impersonal;what should be inspirational becomes garish; what, shoulc1be sacred becomes secular. Yet these are the difficulties ofthe times and few have bee,n able to overcome the problemsof the all-seeing public eye. .

If the individual is to surmount these obstacles he mustdo it on his or her own. The media, which indeed are muchto blame for this impersoQaliW, can also be for each of usthe means whereby the exciting moments of life becomevery present. By approaching the papal visit in a personaland spiritual manner, each of us can glean a moment ofinspiration, a memory of joy and a mood of peace. "

And after all, is not that the real reason for this visitof the Holy Father: to bring to each of us in this nation amessage of hope for a country that sometimes despairs, anexample of love for a people that only too often hate and areassurance of faith for millions who are searching for whatis true.

As we view and review the events of this memorableweek, may each and every one of us take time to pushaside the circus-like atmosphere that places the Holy Father

,in the center ring and try to see him' as a man of God,' apilgrim of peace and above all a father who would love tomeet each of us individually and leave us with a few wordsthat would continue to inspire us in our own pilgrimageof life. '..

SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-PopeJohn Paul II's trip to the UnitedStates will "lift the spirits ofthe U.S. Catholic Church" alongwith the morale of all those who"look to him as a leader ofpeople," according to ArchbishopJohn R. Quinn of San Francisco,president of the National Con­ference of Catholic -Bishops.

Archbishop Quinn is accom­panying the pope on his tripthrough the United States.

"This is an enormously signifi-.cant visit," Archbishop Quinnsaid, "because the pope is aworld leader of almost uniquestature. The impact of his of­fice and the impact of his owndynamic personality will begreatly felt during his visit."

Asked whether the pope mightspeak about materialism in theUnited States, Archbishop Quinnjoked that he had no crystal ballor tea leaves. '

"Perhaps he will (speak ofmaterialism)," Archbishop Quinnsaid. "But we in the UnitedStates have always been able torecognize our shortcomings andperhaps, as is already happening,we should pay more attentionto our exc~ssive dependenceupon material things."

Pope John Paul IT : .A Biographical Sketchmother, plagued 'by a kidney ail­ment, died while delivering astillborn daughter. When he was12 his brother Edmund, by thenan intern, died of scarlet fevercontracted from his patients. Ateacher who first met Karol afew months later detected thesorrow on the boy's face.

When Karol passed his finalexaminations in 1937, his fathermoved with him to Krakow sothat he could afford to study atthe JageIlonian University. En­roIled in the department of phil­osophy, Karol became involved'in the "Rhapsodic Theatre," anexperimental troupe which em­phasized in performance thebeauty 'of dramatic language.

Around this time, Karol cameinto contact' with Jan Tyranow­ski (1900-1947), who had aban­doned a career as an account­ant because tailoring aIlowedhim a quieter life conducive toprayer, meditation, and the study ,of Christian mysticism. Tyra­nowski cultivated Karol's reli­gious and philosophical inter­ests, bringing him into his in­formal "living rosary" prayergroup.

The beginning of World WarII was a turning point of KarolWojtyla's life. On 1 September1939, he was serving as an altarboy at Mass as the bombs be­gan to fall on Krakow. The Nazioccupation forced the university .­- and with it the RhapsodicTheatre-to go underground.

Krezorowska (d. 1929), was aformer school teacher whose fre­quent illnesses forced her to relyupon her ~ieces for heip in rais­ing her boys.

Particularly after the father'sretirement from active militaryduty, the modesty of their meansforced young Karol to work tosupport the family, although Ed­mund, some 15 years his senior,was able to attend medicalschool.

An athletic boy, Karol en­joyed daredevil swims in theflooded Swaka River, but histrue enthusiasm was for playinggoalie in soccer games.

As a young boy he enjoyedgames, was an ardent punster,and even played at offeringMass with playmates as altarboys.

Karol was an exceIlent stu­dent. He served as president ofhis school sodality, but his mainextracurricular love- was thetheatre;

. HIS HOLINE.SS

he had been married to a girlkilled by the Nazis.

His Holiness himself made ateasingly oblique reference tothis aspect of his past when hewas in Poland this year; heabruptly curtailed a reminiscenceof his family with, "Well, that'senough of the past. I'm notgoing into details. There are alot of reporters around, ready toinvestigate. Matters of the heartand youth should be left to God,who calls human beings at dif­ferent stages of their lives."

It was his hospitalization aftera serious tram accident whichshocked Karol into his first ma­ture' thought about a religiousvocation, possibly as a Carmel­ite. He persuaded himself, how­ever, that his God-given talentscalled him to be an actor.

Sideswiped soon after his re­lease by a German army truck,Wojtyla reconsidered his earlierdecision during his second con·valescence. Suddenly orphanedduring that some year (1941)when a heart attack claimed hisfather, the younger Karol camemore fully under Tyranowski'sreligious influence. By 1942 hewas engaged in preparatorystudies for the priesthood.

Fearing discovery by theNazis, Wojtyla and other secretseminarians retreated in August1944 to the palace of ArchbishopAdam Stefan Sapieha, wherethey hid while attending classes.At the end of the war they reosumed their studies under moreconventional conditions andKarol Wojtyla was ordained apriest on 1 November 1946.

Recognizing the young priest'ssuperior intellect, Cardinal Sa­pieha assigned him to continuehis studies at the Angelicum inRome. There in 1948 he earnedhis Ph.D. in philosophy with adissert~tion on "Problems' ofFaith in the Works of St. Johnof the Cross"-the culminationof studies to which Tyranowskihad introduced him.

Having resided at the BelgianCollege while in Rome, FatherWojtyla visited its mother coun­try and France on his summervacation in 1947, ministering toPolish workers who found them-

During this period, Karol Woj­tyla was active in the UNIA or­ganization, a Christian demo­cratic underground. B'nai B'rithand other authorities have tes­tified that he helped Jews securerefuge from the Nazis. His af­filiation with Bratnia PomocStudentow, a union of universitystudents, seems also to have be­gun in the war years.

The significance of Karol'scontinuing participation in thenow-proscribed Rhapsodic Thea­tre can be appreciated in lightof the Nazi attempt to extin­guish all vestiges of Polish cul­ture. These secret readings andperformances were an integralpart of the' cultural resistance tothe enemy. By the time KarolWojtyla disappeared from his jobat Solvay in 1944, his name hadappeared on a Nazi blacklist.

Rumor has suggested thatKarol Wojtyla married at thistime, a report which the Vaticanhas emphatically denied. Simi­larly, a report that Karol had"at least one steady girlfriend"has yet to be substantiated. Thevery sensitivity to the problemsof love and marriage in KarolWojtyla's later writings, espe­cially Love and Responsibility(1960), has been cited to explainthe persistence of rumors that

Clandestinely pursuing bothhis studies and his acting, Karoltook up manual labor to supporthimself and to secure from theauthorities the work permit nec­essary to forestall deportationor imprisonment. Years later hecommemorated his jab as a stonehewer in a poem called "TheQuarry." Although vigorous, hewas not at this time particularlystrong, so he was soon madeassistant shot-firer, placing ex­plosives in the rock.

By 1941 he was working in theSolvay chemical company, firstunloading lime from railroadhoppers, later tending boilers.The latter employment, on thenight shift, was particularly con­ducive to his clandestine studies.Wojtyla also found time to lobbyfor better working conditions,persuading the management toopen a recreation center for theworkers.

In 1974, 1977, and 1978 hevisited West Germany in a con­tinuing effort to reconcile thePolish people with their formerconquerors.

Along with the effects of. theVatican' Council, these travelsbroadened Cardinal Wojtyla'sperspective on the world; bymaking him better known to therest of the Church, they inci­dentally paved the way for his .election as Pope John Paul IIon 16 October 1978.

;Pope Paul VI, who named THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Oct. 4, 1979 13Wojtyla a cardinal in 1967, rec-ognized his achievements by em-playing him as a theological con­sultant arid having him conducthis personal Lenten retreat for1976. The meditations from thisretreat have been published as

,"Sign of Contradiction" (NewYork, 1979).

Cardinal Wojtyla traveled byway of Asia to the 1973 Eucha­ristic Congress in Sydney, Aus­tralia. In 1969 and 1976, hetoured Canada, the UnitedStates, and Latin America.

He was summoned from acamping trip with a group ofstudents in the summer of 1958to learn that he had been made

, Auxiliary Bishop of Krakow. Herose to be vicar capitular to thediocese four years later and in1964, when the government per­mitted the church to appoint aresident archbishop' of Krakowfor the first time since 1951,Karol Wojtyla was chosen forthe post.

As bishop and later archbish­op, Wojtyla successfully con­cluded a 20-year struggle tobuild a magnificent church atNowa Huta, a new town designedby the government as a "social­ist" environment free of religiousinfluence. He estaolished adultreligious study groups in par-'ishes, a Family. Institute, and aministry for the sick and dis­abled to meet the needs of hispeople.

His friendships in the Jewishand intellectual communitiesafforded those groups effectiveliaison with the' Church. Hisnew eminence left Wojtyla per­sonally unaffected; he left hismodest flat for the archepiscopalpalace only when his exasper­ated staff forced him to do soby moving all his personal effectsthere.

Archbishop Wojtyla attendedall the sessions of the SecondVatican Council, 1962-65. By thesecond session, in 1963, he hadrisen to prominence, eventuallyleaving his mark on several im­portant documents. In the Con­stitution on the Church, "LumenGentium," he argued against aninstitutional conception of theChurch and in favor of "thepeople of God."

selves unwelcome refugees inthose countries. In France healso observed the controversial"worker priest" experiment inaction. .

Upon his return to Poland,Father Wojtyla took up pastoralduties, first as a deacon inNiegowic, later as pastor at St.Florian's in Krakow. Despiteparish work, he managed toearn a second doctorate, intheology, before the Communistauthorities abolished that de­partment of the Jagellonian Uni­versity in 1949.

Wojtyla served as chaplain tothe students at this time, and heentered the faculty of the uni­versity itself by presenting histhesis on the ethical system ofMax Scheler.

A 'professor of moral theologyin the major seminary at Kra­kow, he became in 1954 a pro­fessor of ethics at the CatholicUniversity of Lublin, and even­tually chairman of the philOSO­phy department there.

The 1950s also saw the emer­gence of Father Wojtyla as a pro­lific author of moral and philo­sophical works, some of whichare 'beginning to appear in Eng­lish.

Pseudonymous litetary works,including a play and somepoems, began to appear in Cath­olic periodicals; "Easter Vigiland other Poems" (New York,1979) came out in English soonafter Wojtyla's election as pope.

The author was named to thePolish Academy of Sciences in1959 in recognition of his philo­sophical work. Nonetheless,scholarly and intellectual pur­suits never managed to stifleWojtyla's love for pastoral work.

TheWhen, the day after his elec­

tion as Pope, John Paul II droveto a Rome hospital to visit hisfriend, Bishop Andrew MariaDeskur, he made it clear thathe would not confine himself tothe Vatican any more than hadPope Paul VI. ,

In succeeding weeks, the Popevisited shrines at Mentoralla andAssisi. He paid tribute to hisimmediate predecessor, PopeJohn Paul' I, by saying Mass in"the latter's hOlJle town of Canaled'Agordo.

As Archbishop of Krakow,John Paul' II had traveledthrough Europe, the Far East,and the Americas in 'pastoralministry to the Polish communi­ties there; it was only a matterof time, then, before the newPope would carry his enlargedpastoral mission beyond' Italy.

The third general assembly ofthe Latin American Bishops'Conference provided the occa­sion for John Paul's first inter·national "pilgrimage of faith."

On 25 January 1979, Pope JohnPaul II arrived in Santo Do­mingo, the Dominican Republic,kissing the earth and celebrat·ing Mass on the island wh~re in1492 Columbus had attended thefirst Mass in the Western Hem­isphere.

On the next day, the pope ar­rived in Mexico City, where hewas rec~ived as a "distinguishedvisitor" by the President ofMexico. The day after makinga pilgrimage to the NationalShrine 'of Our Lady of Guada­lupe on 27 January, the Popeopened the bishops' conference.,

On the 29th, he flew to Oaxaca,where he met impoverished In­dians of that region; on the30th, he visited Guadalajara and

the shrine at nearby Zapopan.On 31 Ja.nuary, Pope John Pauladdressed an audience of youngpeople at the Catholic Univer­sity of Mexico before flyingback to Rome.

In various talks in Mexico,the pope stressed traditionalvalues of family life and of de­votion to the Virgin Mary. Hespught to put in perspective the"liberation theology" of socialactivism, by stressing that the'Church's efforts must be found­ed in the Gospel rather than inmerely human motivations andgoals.

Nonetheless, John Paul con­tinued to emphasize the socialcommitments of the church inhis statements, underscoring thetheme by his visits to hospitals, _to charitable institutions, and tothe poor themselves.

The Pope's triumphant returnto his native land was not merelya personal indulgence, for PopePaul VI had 'been bitterly dis­appointed when, in 1966, theCommunist government there re­fused him permission to cele·brate personally the milleniumof Christianity in Poland.

As in' Mexico, John Paul IIwas realizing goals of his be­loved predecessor during hisvisit. Whatever the political im­plications of the former CardinalWojtyla's encounter with theCommunist authorities of Poland,his' visit to Poland was essen­tially pastoral.

On 2 June the pope arrived inWarsaw where he conferredwith Polish government officials.After a meeting for young peoplethe next day, he made a pilgrim­age to the tomb of St. Adalbertin Gniezno.

PopeHis stay at the monastery of

Jasna Gora (4-6 June) involvedecclesiastical functions as wellas meetings with pilgrims fromevery part of ;Poland to theShrine of the "Black Madonna,"Our Lady of Czestochowa.

Perhaps the most publicizedevent of the papal mission washis visit of 7 June to the site ofthe Nazi concentration camp atAuschwitz. Commemorating thesufferings of many victims there,particularly the martyrdom ofBlessed Maximilian Kolbe at thehands of· the' Nazis, the Popetouched poignantly the feelingsof Jews and Christians alike.

From his base in Krakow, thepope also visited shrines atNowy Targ, Mogila and BloniaKrakowskie. At his old episco­pal seat, John Paul presided overthe closing of an archdiocesansynod-there, as at the meetingof Polish bishops, setting a fu­ture course for the Church inhis native land.

The fervor of the Polish Cath­olics, which engulfed the Popeeverywhere. he went, was re··flected by the attendance of al­.most two million people-fiveper cent of the population of the·country-at the Pope's June 10departure l'dass.

In 1960 the then CardinalMontini returned briefly to theU.S., receiving along with Presi­dent Dwight Eisenhower an hon­orary degree fro.m Notre DameUniversity and visiting Catholicchurches and organizations be­fore flying to Brazil.

In 1936, three years before hiselection as Pope Pius XII, Euge­nio Cardinal Pacelli made an ex­tensive tour through 12 of the .16 American ecclesiastical prov­inces.

mittee to represent employees indealing with the Vatican overpay and working conditions.

The employees' spokesman,who asked not to be identified,said traditional fringe benefitsavailable to Vatican employees,such as reduced prices on food,medicine and gasoline, were nolonger adequate to make up forthe rising cost of living in Italy.

A discussion of ArchbishopLefebvre, who was suspendedfrom exercising his priestlyfunctions by Pope Paul VI, is lesslikely at the extraordinary ses­sion.

Archbishop Lefebvre has saidhe is willing to sign a statementaccepting. the Second VaticanCouncil, interpreted accordingto tradition, but Vatican sourcesgive little credence to reportsthat the archbishop is the car­dinal named "in pectore" (in theheart) by Pope John Paul II lastJune 30. '

The name of,that cardinalcould be released by the pope,however, at the special meeting.

Talk of a possible Third Vati­can Council has cropped up sev­eral times recently in the Italian'press, with "the values of life';being mentioned as a theme.

Bishop Paolo Hnilica," aCzechoslovakian Jesuit who livesin Rome, was quoted in a recentissue of the Italian magazine LaGente as saying that Pope JohnPaul II's many travels were in­tenqed to gather input for an­other council.

"This is why the pope travelsso much: to go out and find (theworld's bishops) in their Sees, totalk -and dialogue with them," h,esaid. "These pastoral visits arecertainly the preparation of acouncil." '

If the extraordinary gatheringof cardinals does ta~e place, itwill be the first such' meeting inmore than 14 years not convenedto elect a pop~.

the year. Although he could dothat without' asking for 'advice,a decision by the college of car­dinals to do so would probablybe more impressive to the worldand, would emphasize the col­legial nature of church decision­making.

Vatican employees disturbedabout a 10-year unofficial wage

, freeze recently went public withtheir complaints in an openletter to Pope John Paul. '

They accused the pontiff ofspending too much time abroadto have time for the problems ofhis own employees. "We do notseek privileges or advantagesbut a just pay," tp.e· letter said.

The anonymous letter, signedonly by "your Vatican employ­ees," was released only a fewdays after the pope told workersin the factory town of Pomezia,Italy" that he considered himselftheir "friend and colleague" be­cause of his work in a limestonequarry in his native Poland.

On Sept. 20, a Vatican spokes­man said 'Pope John Paul is"well aware" of the financialdifficulties facing Vatican em­ployees and had spoken to sev­,eral _ of ,them himself beforeordering the investigation ofpossible solutions. ' ,

/'

"Naturally it takes time toconfront the question in\ltsvarious aspects," said the spokes­man" Father Romeo Panciroli,who issued the statement' in re­sponse' to numerous questionsfrom journalists. '

The spokesman said the prob­lemwill be resolved "in con·formity with the demands ofsocial justice but of necessityalso taking into account the con­crete possibilities of the HolySee, which.*.. are limited."

VATICAN CITY (NC) - Vati­can-watchers are having a fieldday following repo~s fromaround the world that Pope JohnPaul II will hold an extraordin­ary assembly of all cardinalsnext month.

Talk of the special meetingbegan wjth an article in the Par­is newspaper Le Figaro and wastransmitted throughout Italy bythe, Italian agency ANSA. All ofthe news agencies quoted un­identified "high officials" in theVatican.

One Vatican source said itwill probably begin Nov. 4, thefeast day of St. Charles Bor,romeo. The meeting, presumablyoccurring between Pope JohnPaul's trip to Ireland and theUnited States and his visit tothe Philippines, was not expect­ed to interfere' with the U.S.bishops' meeting Nov. 12-15, ac~

cording to Bishop Thomas C.Kelly, general secretary of theNational Conference"of Cath­olic Bishops.

Although the Vatican sourceswould not say what the topicof the possible meeting wouldbe, speculation centered on sev­eral topics: Vatican finances, thetraditionalist campaign of French,Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, areview of the pope's year - inoffice (which ends Oct. 16), or_-------D--O-O--D-..~' preliminary planning for a thirdVatican Council.

Pope John Paul reportedlytold the cardinals -after the con­clave which elected him that hewould like to meet with themperiodically to exchange views.,

ANSA said Pope John Paulwants to make an "efficiencyjudgment" on the college ofcardinals and emphasize its ad­visory role to the pope.

change" of economic conditionswhich ultimately led to the de­pressiop of 1930. The 'mansionsbecame rooming houses and sec­tions of the area utter slums.

Now the economic style is inreverse. The former residentsor their children, who fled to thesuburbs in search of a fuller life,are returning. The South End'spopulation today is no longerhomogeneous but multiracial,multiethnic and socially mixed.The cathedral alone stands un­changed. Its parish, whichranges from the disadvantagedenvirons of the City Hospital tothe south to the gold-domedState House overlooking' BostonCommon, the Public Garden andthe Charles River, is seen as amicrocosm of the UniversalChurch.

The diversity provides for aculturally rich environment andan unusually colorful liturgy, asnative Americans mix with aninflux of minority peoples, in­eluding Hispanics, French, ital­ians, Syrians, Lebanese, Greeks,Afro-Americans and Chinese.

The cathedral, now under­going extensive exterior and in­terior renovation, offers amarked contrast to the originalcathedral at 49 Franklin Street,now at the center of Boston'sdowntown, and presently the lo­cation of the Archdio.cesannewspaper, The 'Pilot.

Although English Gothic instyle, the Cathedral of the' HolyCross is American in character,the realization of the vision ofBoston's third bishop, Most Rev.John B. Fitzpatrick, who diedbefore its completion.

Originally the' cathedral wasto be surmounted by two spires,the main spire soaring some 300,feet into the skies.

But South End of the city,where the cathedral is located,was once part of Boston Harborand it was feared the filled har­bor bottom would not carry thetremendous weight of the spires.They were therefore deleted from.the plans.

With that precaution taken,the massive edifice has stood un­disturbed for more than a cen­tury, its blunted towers project­ing a, fortress-like solidity andstability in contr,ast to the airygrace of traditional Gothicspires.

The structure's permanenceamid the changes of the past 100years, is almost prophetic.' Inthe mid-19th century, the SouthEnd was a fashionable residen­tial district, homogeneously pop­ulated bY,the successful descend­ants of Irish immigrants.

The area, however, declinedand then collapsed with the

On Monday ·Boston's HolyCross Cathedral experienced thepeakmornent of its I04~year oldhistory, as it became the firstchurch in the United States tobe visited by a reigning pope.

Within .the huge edifice PopeJohn: Paul II joined in prayerwith the bishops and over 2000priests of New England, imme­diately prior to his 'Boston Com­mon Mass.

The cathedral is consideredone of the great religious edi­fices ,in the world. It measures46,000 square feet and coversmore than an acre of ground,surpassing in size many of thefamous cathedrals of Europe, in-.eluding Venice, Vienna, Stras­bourg, Dublin, Pisa and Salis­bury.

Cardinal Cushing's funeralcame only a month after he badehis people a touching farewellat the installation of his succes­sor, A:rchbishop - soon to be ­Cardinal - Medeiros.

On January 19, 1964, the Ca­thedral was the scene of a uniquereligious and civic memorial,honoring the memory of John F.Kennedy. Cardinal Cushing cel­ebrated the Pontifical Mass andEric Leinsdorf conducted theBoston Symphony Orchestra inMozart's "Requiem in D Minor."

Even before the dedication ofthe completed cathedral on De­cember 8, 1875, it was openedfor -its first major public func­tion, the conferral of the pallium,the symbol of metropolitan juris­diction, on Archbishop Williamsby Cardinal Gibbons of Balti­more, ·on May 2, 1875.. Bostonwas now an archdiocese and 'themetropolitan see of all New Eng­land.

In its 104 years, the cathedralhas been the scene of many his­toric events.. In 1877, for in­stance, it witnessed the goldenjubilee ·of the ordination of Rev.James Fitton, the first nativepriest of New England.

In 1892, 400th anniversary ofthe discovery of America, therewas unveiled before the cathe­dral a magnificent statue ofChristopher Columbus by thenoted sculptor Alois Buyens:"

At the close of World WarI, a Te Deum was sung at thecathedral; and, at a- solemn highMass unique in American church'history, King Albert of Belgium,Queen Louise and Cardinal Mer­cier joined with Cardinal O'Con~

Bulfinch's active concern forthe interior decorations stimu­lated the interest of painterHenry Sargent, whose altarpiecerepresenting the Crucifixion isshown in a lithograph by Wil­liam S. Pendleton, the onlyknown representation of the in­terior of the Holy Cross Church.

Also/preserved in the archivesas an equally priceless mementoof the occasion are the words ofShubael Bell, then senior wardenof Boston's Christ Church, that"no circumstance has contribut­ed more to the peace and goodorder of the town than the es­tablishment of a CatholicChurch."

Actull1ly incorporated as anintegral part of the structure -ofthe Cathedral. too, is a mementoof another - and tragic - chap­ter of Boston's religious history.The vestibule arch,. which sepa­rates the main entrance fromthe church properY, was built ofbricks from the ruins of Mt.Benedict, an Ursuline convent inEast Somerville, which wasburned to the ground by a mobof bigots in 1834.

The side chapel was the fi'rstcompleted part of the cathedral.There, on September 28, 1870,Bishop WiIliams celebrated _thefirst Mass in what is now calledthe chapel of the Blessed Sacra­ment. As. in every cathedral,here and in Europe, there is a"Lady Chapel," an altar in honor·of the Blessed Virgin. Near theLady Altar is another, dedicatedto Pope St. Pius X. At the left

the Massachusetts State House,the erection of the cathedralcould be termed the beginningof the architectural history ofthe Boston Archdiocese.

Prior to that time the scatteredhundreds of Roman Catholicsmet in small meeting houses.

Recognizing the need of theirCatholic neighbors for a placeof worship, Boston Protestantsdonated one-fifth of the buildingfund of $17,000 raised to con­struct the first Church of theHoly Cross.

Heading the list of non-Cath­olic subscribers was JohnAdams, second president of theUnited States. In addition, the .new church was designed, with­out fee, by Bulfinch to honor hisfriend, Bishop John Cheverus.The simple but elegant ItalianRenaissance structure was dedi­cated September 29, 1803.

Of Bulfinch's architecturaljewel, only the picturesque.wooden altar is preserved in thebasement crypt of the presentCathedral, near the burial v~ults

of Bishop Fitzpatrick and hissuccessor, Boston's first Arch­bishop, Archbishop John JosephWilliams. Other memorabiliathere include an old episcopalaJ~r throne, photographs andcan4lesticks.

The genius of Bulfinch's de­sign, however, can be observedby visitors at St. Stephen'sChurch, in Hanover Street, inthe North End, restored to itsoriginal splendor a few years~go by Cardinal Cushing.

The fact of asking the ques­tions "tells the world that you,young people, carry within your­selves a special openness withregard to what is good and true.This openness is, in a sense, a'revelation' of the human spirit,"he said.

"And in this openness to truth,to goodness and to beauty, eachone of you can find yourself,"he added.,The pope issued a call to

young people: "Heed the call ofChrist when you hear him sayto you: "Follow me!" Walk in mypath! Stand by my side! Re­main in my love!"

The pope further challengedthe young.

"Do I make a mistake when Itell you, Catholic youth, thatit is part of your task in theworld and the church to revealthe true meaning of life wherehatred, neglect or selfishnessthreaten to take over theworld?" he said.

The pope warned that "manypeople will try to escape fromtheir responsibility: escape inselfishness, escape in sexualpleasure, escape in drugs, escapein violence, in indifference .andcynical attitudes."

Instead, he proposed "the op­tion of love, which is the oppos­ite . of escape." Young peoplewere urged to find meaning inloving service to God and toother people, especially the-

He also wants people to have"more than a memory" from the'pope's visit. He wants prepara­tibn to include more than plansfor getting to Des Moines andbuying new hiking socks andfilm. One of the bishop's staffpeople says 'Prayer is the suc­cess of this visit." I think thatmeans that the visit will be asuccess if it gets people to focustheir lives on God's' call. Ifpeople make an effort to pullthemselves together for someconcentration on the call to holi­ness, and make a trip to DesMoines a pilgrimage to the cen­ter of things, then the papal visitwill have the kind of impactthe bishop wants.

ECHOING THE PAPAL HOMILY

Cont. from Page Twenty-five"It is the pope's home while heis here," the cardinal had saidearlier. "I am his guest."

But before entering the resi­dence, the pope greeted thecrowds once more. Many hadbeeh waiting at that vantagepoint for four hours or more,and they were rewarded notonly with waves but with

. thrown kisses froin the pontiff.Then it was inside for a late

dinner with the cardinal, theauxiliary bishops of Boston,Archbishop Jean Jadot, apostolicdelegate in the United States,and several in the papal party.

After that, like those of theestimated two million thatcrowded Boston on Monday, thepapal head htt the papal pillow.

But whereas for the two milo.lion it was back to business asusual on Tuesday, fo~ Pope Jo'hnPaul it was the day he regardedas the real reason for his Am­erican pilgrimage. He addressedthe United Nations at noon, aswell as meeting with variousother groups at the UN building.

A motorcade to. St. Patrick'sCathedral, then to Yankee Sta­dium for an outdoor Mass fol­lowed.

"He shall have music where­ever be goes" might well havebeen the theme for the papaltravels in Boston. The seniorchampion band of St.. Ann's,Neponset, was on hand for hisreception Monday at Logan Air­port, while the Boston Univer·sity Brass Ensemble played out·side the university chapel as thepapal motorcade passed en routefrom Boston Common to Car·dinal Medeiros' residence. Andat the residence the Boston Col·lege band was on hand for aserenade.

Forget about buses and traf·. fic jams, said members of St.Mary's of the Assumption par­ish in Hull, who chartered ane:!i:cursion boat to take them toBoston for the papal Mass.Docking at Bowes Wharf, theystrolled to the Common, return­ing to their vessel for the voy­age back home, probably theleast frayed and hassled amongall of Monday's pilgrims.

Boston was youth day on thepapal schedule and young peoplewere CeJ1ainly in evidence, withjoggers putting their expertiseinto practice as they kept com·fortably up with the.

A touching moment came dur­ing the Prayer of the Faithful atthe Common Mass when prayerswere asked for Darryl Williams,the young Jamaica Plains HighSchool football player paralyzedlast week in a shooting appar­ently racially inspired.

Taking their cue from PopeJohn Paul's comfortable inform­ality, many bishops waved theirmitres in salute to the BostonCommon throngs as they tooktheir places for the papal Mass."Can you imagine that 20 yearsago!" marveled one pilgrim.

30 THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Fall River-Thurs., Oct. 4, 1979 Ireland Greets Pope ~ohn Paul

Refugee .AidWA:SHINGTON (NC) - The

House has approved ,$207.3 mil­lion in additional funds to helpresettle Indochinese refugees andbanned indirect U.S. aid to Viet­nam and a large group of'othercountries. U.S. church groups,'including the U.S. Catholic Con­ference, have supported the refu­gee assistance funds, but haveopposed aid restrictions andbudget cuts made in the Hous~.

It was to celebrate the cen­tenary of church-recognized vi­sions of Mary by 15 Knock par­ishioners that Pope John Pauldecided to visit Ireland.

Before the Mass the pope vis­ited with about 12,000 sick andhandicapped in the basilica andblessed them.

Dusk had fallen by the timethe ceremonies were over, andthe pope circled through the'crowd in an open blue truck.

As he was heading back to­ward the helicopter pad to re­turn to Dublin, the whole crowdbegan singing, "He's got theWhole World in His Hands."

Earlier in the day, the popehad met with 250,000 youngpeople at the Ballybrit Race­

'course near Galway. Beatles'songs and chants of "We want

. the pope" resounded through themorning mist as Pope John Paularrived. .

The young people saw at the'offertory procession a strikingexample of the violence betweenCatholics and Protestants inNorthern Ireland. Thirteen-year­old Damien Irwin-walking withthe aid of ari artificial- leg afterlosing his own to a 1977 Belfastbomb blast - presented thechalice to Pope Johl). Paul.

The pope began his last day inIsland, Oct. 1, with a trip to St.Patrick's Seminary in Maynoothand called on Ireland's priestsand Religious to be "signs ofGod" in the modern secularcities and also to be faithful totheir religious commitment.

The pope then went to lim­erick for his final open air Mass.About 400,000 people gatheredat the Limerick race course andheard the pope urge Catholicsto resist growing pressure forthe church' to liberalize itsstallds on abortion and divorce.

The Mass provided an affec­tionate farewell for the popewho ended his sermon in Gaelic,saying "God bless you and keepyou forever," This brought thun­derous applause.,

A caravan of some 600 busesfrom Northern Ireland, carryingari average of more than 50people e'ach, as well as many pri­vate cars, crossed the border t9see the pope.

",I proclaim with the convic­tion of my faith in Christ andwith an awareness of my missionthat violence is evil, that vio­lence is unacceptable as a solu­tion to problems, that violenceis unworthy of man," he told thequarter of a million people inthe hillside crowd.

Pope John ·Paul said the"tragic" decade-long fightingand terrorism .in Northern Ire­land "do not have their sourcein the fact of belonging to dif­ferent churches and differentconfessions; that, this is not ­despite what is so often repeatedbefore world opinion - a reli­gious war, a struggle betweenCatholics and Protestants.

"May no Irish Protestant thinkthat the pope is an enemy, a dan­ger or a threat. My desire is thatinstead Protestants would see inme a friend and a brother inChrist," he said.

The pontiff spoke during a lit­urgy of the Word service. Hethen returned to Dublin for aseries of meetings....,.,.

Ireland "has special and' ur­gent need for the united serviceof Christians," Pope John Paulsaid at an evening ecumenicalmeeting with leaders of othe~Christian churches in Ireland.

A challenge for Catholic Ire­land to be an example to therest of Europe ran through thepapal talks Sept. 29 to the presi­dent of the country, its govern­ment' officials and the Irish dip-lomatic corps. *

The pope's major address onSept. 30 was at Knock at thecountry's chief Marian shrinehonoring Our Lady of Knock.There, the pope dedi~ated theIrish nation to Mary during a

. Mass before more than 400,000people.

:He particularly asked Mary to"cure and heal" the civil strifein Northern Ireland.

"In a very special way we en­trust to you this great woundnow afflicting our people, hopingthat your hands will be able tocure and heal it," he said.

He called the shrine "the goalof my journey to 'Ireland,"

The first papal Mass in ~reland

was celebrated shortly after­wards at Dublin's 'Phoenix Parkbefore about 1.2 million people,

.the largest gathering ever re­corded in Ireland.

The Irish clapped, cheered andsang parts of the Mass in Gaelic,English and Latin.

"As I stand' here in the c6m­pany of so many hundreds ofthousands of Irish men andwomen," the pope said in his 45­minute homily, "I am thinking ofhow many times, across howmany centuries, the Eucharisthas been celebrated in this

ra======================1·.land,"The pope also' had words of

warning for the Irish. Ireland "isnot immune from the influenceof ideologies ~and trends whichpresent-day civilization andprogress carry with them," hesaid.

The solution is to "steep our-·selves in the. truth that comesfrom Christ," especially in heEucharist, he said.

The pope then took a shorthelicopter ride to Drogheda nearthe border with strife-tornNorthern Ireland and issued adramatic appeal for an end tothe violence there.

For the pope's maior messageon the chief political issue troub­ling Ireland and Northern Ire­land for over 10 years, he chosea hillside field in the southernIrish portion of the Archdiocese '
