MACON TELEGRAPH HEARTS OF men the world over, non-Catholic as well as members of that faith, are sor rowed by the passing of Pope Pius XII. Death came yesterday for the frail, 82-year-old Pontiff who for a score of years has been in the forefront of the struggle against godless Communism. Pope Pius was much more than the spiritual leader of 500 million Roman Catholics. He was a staunch advocate of and worker for world peace and sta bility. He was an implacable foe of the anti-Christ. His con tribution toward the fight against totalitarianism with its ever-present oppression and brutality is measureless. He was an individual of rare intellect. There is a possibility, albeit remote, that the successor to Pope Pius XII will be an Ameri can— and the name most fre quently mentioned is that of Fran c i s Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York. Cardinal Spellman, to be sure, is perhaps the best known of all the members of the Sacred College of Cardinals; his friend ship with Pope Pius is well known.

The next Pope almost certain ly will have been a cardinal, al though in theory a priest of lower rank or even a layman could be elected. Another cardinal often men tioned as a possible successor to Pius is Gregory Peter Cardinal Agagianian, the Russian-born Patriarch of Uniate Armenians, who succeeded the late Samuel Cardinal Stritch, Archbishop of Chicago, as a member of the central governing body of the Catholic Church. Nonetheless, it is extremely likely that an Italian will be the next Pope. The last non-Italian Pope was Hadrian VI of Hol land, who resigned for only a little more than one year in 1522-23. While at the very brink of death, Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII, displayed an amazing tenacity to live—a will engen dered perhaps by a desire to carry on his good works. A Mon Of Peace SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS OCTOBER 7 HISTORY will record Pope Pius XII as one of the 20th Century’s greatest champions of peace. The 82-year-old Pontiff, whose career in the service of his Church and God spans some of the most turbulent years in the history of mankind, once said: “My only mission is peace. The only weapon I carry is the Cross.” It was the same, simple mes sage of Christ thundering down the centuries to a world of H bombs, missiles and other terri ble weapons of destruction. Never robust, the thin and as cetic “Pope of Peace” has been a source of strength to peaceful, liberty-loving people every where. World War I found him struggling to bring about peace as envoy of the Church to Ba varia. He was elected the 262nd Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church on March 2. 1939—h i s 63rd birthday—with the world tottering on the brink of the greatest and bloodiest conflict in history. This spiritual leader of 400 million Catholics, with an influence vastly beyond those numbers, worked unceas ingly to silence the guns of war. The tall, dark-eyed Pontiff has opened the doors of the Vat ican Palace wider than any oth er Pope. And he has received in audience untold thousands from every walk of life. Among them were many American service men of all faiths, who came away with deep impressions of this gentle-mannered, saintly man successor to Peter. POPE PIUS XII has walked freely among all who came. Apropos of this is the little sto ry about the Savannah group who had an audience a few months ago. There was one Sav annah lady who didn’t get a chance to meet, the Pope and she was distressed. The fact was relayed to Archbishop O’Hara who conveyed the-word to the Pontiff, then far away. The Pope retraced his steps and came to look for the Savannah lady in the manner of the Gos pel story of the shepherd who went to look for the lamb that had strayed. The Catholic Church will re cord the giant strides the Church has made during the reign of Pope Pius XII. Church historians will note his great love for Mary, the Mother of God, and his pronouncement of the Marian Year and the dogma of the Assumption. But for all Christendom, whose prayers now bombard Heaven in his be half, Pope Pius XII will be re membered as a man of peace. He has been truly a Holy Father to more than his own immediate church flock. Free World Is Saddened By Passing Of Pius XII AUGUSTA HERALD The world today mourns the passing of Pope Pius XII and freedom has lost one of its staunchest defenders. Communists in Russia and elsewhere among the satellite or allied nations will not under stand the relationship of Cath olics to their Pope, nor of the respect and good will between the Pope and people of other Christian faiths. And because His Holiness was one of Com munism’s greatest foes, Moscow today is no doubt rejoicing his death. From this nation went mes sages of sorrow and tribute from statesmen and leaders of all faiths. One particularly fitting, we think, was that from Sen. John Stennis (D-Miss.): “I re gret the passing of a very illus trious man in the spiritual world who was a great advocate of the true principles of peace. The Pontiff had a wonderful influ ence on world affairs and an ex traordinary intellectual capacity and great human traits.” The world is poorer because of the death of this man. Tremendous Struggle Conducted By Pope Against Communism COLUMBUS ENQUIRER The passing of Pope Pius XII saddened Catholics and non- Cathoiics over the world. The pontiff was an indefatigable worker in the cause of peace, speaking out many times against Communistic tyranny. Pope Pius died at the papal summer castle on Lake Albano in Italy, the first head of the Roman Catholic church to die outside the Vatican. It is generally conceded that Pius XII was among the greatest popes. He was a scholar and a hard worker. The Pope who was hailed by crowds as “Papa San to,” so discharged the functions of head of the Holy See that it is widely believed that some day he will be canonized a saint and thus receive the highest honor of the church. Pope Pius XII was the leader of a tremendous spiritual strug gle in which he urged a strong fight by the believers in God against the forces of expanding materialistic and atheistic Communism. He wrote and spoke countless words against the idealogy that denies God and supports atheism. Eugenio Pacelli was born in Rome in 1876 and before his election as Pope on March 2, 1939, he served in important po sitions in the church. He visited the United States as papal sec retary of state in 1936. It was then that Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli visited Georgia. The pontiff, who died at the age of 82, was ordained a priest at 23 and he celebrated his first mass in the Rome Basilica of St. Mary Major, the world’s oldest Catholic shrine to the Virgin Mary. Half a century later, as the 261st pontiff, Pius XII made his Holy Year pilgrimage to the same Basilica in 1950. There he prayed before the altar where he said his first mass. He was then in the 11th year of his pon tificate. Already he had won a place among the great Popes. For years before his death he was known as the “Pope of Peace” and for his work in the interest of world peace he will be iong remembered. Eugenio Pacelli, Pius Xli ALBANY HERALD Eugenio Pacelli, Pius XII, “Pope of Peace,” is mourned by more than the world’s half billion Catholics. His death brings sorrow to countless mil lions of other Christians not of his own communion and to men of good will of all religious faiths. Beyond question, the Pope was in many respects one of the most remarkable men of the Twentieth Century and there is little doubt but that his church v/ill mark him among the greatest of the pontiffs. For while Pius XII fully respected the conservatism of his office and the church’s tradition, he did not hesitate to chart a course of modernity as the spi ritual ruler of five hundred mil lion of the faithful. His 19-year reign was marked by the most tragic wars in human history, but no one other individual worked harder in the cause of peace. The motto of his reign was “Opus Justitiae Pax” (Peace is the Work of Justice) and his announced belief was “nothing is lost with peace, all may be with war.” Nor was there a more dedicat ed anti-Communist than Pius XII. Squarely, he placed the church in the path of godless Communism which enslaved 15 million Roman Catholics in Eu rope alone after World War II, and he used his foremost wea pon, that of excommunication, against those who chose to be tray their faith to follow their new Red masters. Still, his com passion for all human beings was limitless. Never was a Pope more accessible, nor were his audiences limited to Catholics, It is estimated that the Pope re ceived more than 10 million per sons, up to and including a tour ing American basketball team whose antics caused h i m to laugh and applaud with the de lighted enthusiasm of a child. The United States held a warm place in his heart following a visit to this country before his election in 1939, and Americans found they could gain a ready audience at the Vatican. The Pope knew President Hoover, President Roosevelt, President Truman and President Eisen hower well, and a mutual re spect existed among them. The 261st Pope is an unbroken line extending, in the faith of his church, to the Apostle Peter. Eugenio Pacelli was a great scholar, a great diplomat, a great priest, a great Pope and above all, a great human being. No doubt, in years hence, his church will see fit to canonize him as a saint. During his grave illness of 1954, the Pope experi enced a “vision of Christ,” after which he recovered remarkably and miraculously from an ill ness equally as severe as that which took his life late Wednes day night. Despite the Pope’s expressed reluctance, the Vati can nevertheless confirmed newspaper reports of his “vis ion,” but Pius XII never spoke of the experience publicly. To Catholics, this incident confirm ed a divine mark of favor equal to the high human regard in which Eugenio Pacelli already was held. Pope Pius XII Will Rank Among The Great Men ATLANTA CONSTITUTION Millions of people the world over, Christian and non-Chris tian alike, mourn the death of Pope Pius XII, who has led the Roman Catholic Church through one of its most difficult periods. Overcoming many of these difficulties, he leaves the church stronger and the cause of Christianity even more resolute. Leader of a half billion Cath olics since 1939, Pope Pius XII has been one of the great Chris tian leaders of all time. He has resisted — successfully in most instances — the threat to Chris tianity and to religion itself of this Twentieth Century period of materialism and the dictator ships jt has bred. The Pope’s great influence in combatting these godless ideolo gies will make him immortal in the hearts of all free men. His courage and intellectual honesty and his firm spiritual bearing have been invaluable assets in this grim struggle. For Hitler and Mussolini he had only scorn. Surrounded by military dictatorships, he re mained untouched by their evil influences. The most terrible of all of them, Stalin, said with the cynicism of the age: “And how many divisions has the Pope?” Stalin, too, learned the answer The cause which he upheld survived their onslaughts and the frail man outlived them all. The spiritual forces he symboliz ed have grown stronger, thanks to his faith and his confidence in the rights he upheld. It is no small tribute that the strongest Catholic church in any country today is said to be that of Com munist Poland. Pope Pius XII will be remem bered as one of the greatest Popes, leaving an imprint on the ages which will continue to strengthen millions and add to the growth of the Christian movement. All men everywhere are saddened by his passing but, profiting by his example, gain new courage in refusing to sur render to the evil forces which beset us. World Will Miss Pope Pius XII COLUMBUS LEDGER Eugenio Pacelli, who came to be called the Pope of Peace, is dead; the great man took his leave during a moment when the world was at comparative peace. For two decades, the slight and ascetic figure of Pius XII has been a symbol of hope and comfort to millions of men, wo men and children caught up in the horrors of communism. It is paradoxical, almost cruel ly ironic, that this man, who dedicated his life to the pursuits of international understanding, should have reigned over a peri od which saw the worst of all wars and saw the development of military weapons with capa bilities of eliminating the hu man race. But, then, perhaps he came at a time when he was most need ed. Likewise, his reign saw the ascendancy of world commu nism, bitterest enemy of the Church, to a position in which millions of Catholic peoples were condemned to live under the materialist philosophy. Suave and gentle, Eugenio Pacelli was born into a family of Roman lawyers in 1876, the same decade in which, in a place not far away, was born Iosif Vissarinovich Dzhugashvili, who later became Joseph Stalin. Once, in a moment of derision, Stalin asked: “How many divis ions has the Pope?” To this, the kindly pontiff replied: “Many-^ in Heaven.” The world will miss this gen tle shepherd who sought, per haps not vainly, “an equitable, freely stipulated peace, immune from all unjust conditions and from all intolerable burdens im posed by people.” Pope Pius XII Is Dead ATLANTA JOURNAL POPE PIUS XII had many distinctions as a religious leader, not the least of which was the universal acclaim he com manded as the most powerful Pope in a century. As the spiritual leader of nearly one-fifth of the world’s people, he exerted an influence that knew virtually no bounds, even though his geographical kingdom had been reduced to its historical minimum. A modern historian, in a re cent appraisal of the Pope’s exalted position, said of him: “The Holy Father now is unreachable, surrounded by Italian territory, and unseizable, a purely spiritual power. . . . Unarmed, he can take on any enemy and, if given enough time, he may even defeat him.” Pope Pius was a man of peace. He was an ardent foe of com munism and the totalitarian way of life. But his great aim was to preserve the church under what ever kind of government it found itself. One of the Pope’s main ob jectives was to make the spirit ual empire more international. Through his two consistories — in 1946 and 1943 — he created a total of 56 cardinals. He also established liaison with such in ternational organizations a s UNESCO, FAO, WHO and the Red Cross. While the Pope radiated warmth and kindness — a qual ity that was especially notice able when he was with chil dren — he was a hard driver, as those who worked with him learned, and he kept himself going at an exhausting pace. Many people were impressed by his wide interests. Actually these interests encompassed the world. He made - official pro nouncements about all sorts of things — from small business to noise, from motoring to the modern girl. The Pope was quite willing to accept modern inventions. He was the first Pope to use a typewriter, ride in a plane, shave with an electric razor, the first to be televised and the first to play a part in a movie. America, both North and South, was his special interest. Before his elevation to St. Peter’s Chair he had traveled in the New World and Vatican affairs were reoriented on the basis of what he saw and learned on this side of the Atlantic. Dur ing the 1950 Holy Year, pil grims from both. Americas were special objects of his solicitude. He was the Pope of the peo ple. His many years as a papal diplomat brought him face to face with the economic and political problems that resulted in World War II and Commun ist expansion. He never allowed the splendor of his office to isolate him from the common man, and even in Rome. which loves to gossip about, and criti cize, the Pope, he was popular. His death, as President Eisen hower said, leaves the world poorer. Pope Pius XII SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS PEOPLE of all faiths the world around join Roman Cath olics in mourning the loss of Pope Pius XII, who never re lented in his efforts to bring peace to mankind. Death came to the 82-year-old Pontiff Thursday at Castel Gandoifo. the papal summer palace. The whole world had followed prayerfully the Pope’s condition since he was stricken ill the first, of the week. Pius XTI was known as “the Pope of Peace.” He referred to himself as a “fighter for peace” and once was quoted as saying he would not rest from that campaign “until a moment after I am dead.” The campaign is over for the tall, dark-eyed and mild-man nered spiritual leader of 450 million Roman Catholics, whose prayers now go up to Almighty God asking that He give Pope Pius XII the peace which the world would not give him. The 19-year-old reign of Pius XII will he a new jewell in the diadem of the Church and he will be ranked among the great est in the long line of supreme Pontiffs. His place in the hearts of all mankind is reflected in the universal expressions of sor row over his passing. The Morning News echoes the statement of President Eisen hower: “The world is poorer because of the death of Pope Pius XII.” Pope Pius XII AUGUSTA CHRONICLE Catholics throughout the world are deeply saddened by the death of Pope Pius XII. His passing marks the end of an un precedented reign in which the Pontiff established himself as a towering figure in the affairs of the world. In the long history of the papacy only a few Popes have attained the high peak on which Pope Pius XII sat as rul er of the world’s smallest tem poral state and spiritual leader of a great church. His unusual intellectual gifts elevated him far above many of his predeces sors and have made for him a place in the history of the world unequalled perhaps since the days of Pope Innocent. Known as “the Modern Pope,” Pius XII was fully abreast of the times in which he lived. He was a dedicated man, imbued with deep spiritual fire and wholly concerned with the so cial and religious aims of his church. He was more accessible to the people than any other pontiff and his frequent con tacts with people from all parts of the world won for him a pro found affection as well as rev erence for his high office. Now that he is no more, the Catholic world is concerned with the question as to who shall succeed him. Protestants too are interested in the decision of the College of Cardinals upon whom rests the duty for nam ing a successor to Pius XII. There is some speculation as to whether a non-Italian will be named and Cardinal Spellman of the United States has been mentioned as a possible choice for the office. Rarely in the his tory of the papey, however, has a non-Italian been chosen and the chances are that the Pope’s mantle this time will fall again on an Italian. Some people never get enough —do them a favor and they ex pect an encore. Having a way of your own helps you keep out of the way of others. MeCARTY & COMPANY P. O. BOX 340 ATLANTA, GA.
