Mr. Gingell also asked the
Convention delegates “H o w
many of you have taken the
time to thank your newspaper,
your TV station, your radio sta
tion for the fine coverage of the
details of the Pope’s death and
the election of his successor?
How many have written during
the year to thank them for any
article or publicity?” The presi
dent stated that if we give
praise when it is indicated, more
attention will be paid any pro
test we must direct to our news
media.
Mr. Gingell urged each dele
gate and Layman present to
resolve to do something positive
during the next year to make
the Church better understood in
Georgia. The president borrow
ed the slogan of the Christo
phers when he reminded those
assembled “It is better to light
one candle than to curse the
darkness.”
Each delegate in attendance
at the convention was given a
mimeographed copy of an out
line for a Branch Program. They
were urged to place this plan in
action upon their return to their
individual parishes.

SECULAR PRESS
PAYS TRIBUTE
TO PIUS XII
WAYCROSS JOURNAL-
HERALD
Pope Pius XII was a valiant
fighter for peace.
Even those who did not share
his faith revered the pontiff as
the symbol of mankind’s high
est ideals.
The leader of the world’s 500
million Roman Catholics stood
firm against the Godless forces
of Communism. He was an in
spiration to those who suffered
under the tyrant’s hand behind
the Iron Curtain.
As President Eisenhower said,
in his tribute to the Pope: “An
informed and articulate foe of
tyranny, he was a sympathetic
friend and benefactor to those
who were oppressed . . .”
As Papal Secretary of State,
Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli visited
the United States in 1936. Three
years later he became the head
of the Roman Catholic Church.
U. S. Catholics like to point to
the fact that he was the first
man to become Pope who had
ever visited this country.
Throughout his life, Pope Pius
waged a ceaseless war for peace.
The failure of world leaders to
stave off World War II was
probably his saddest hour. He
was a great friend of the un
fortunate victims of that tragic
conflict.
He was a diligent scholar who
had a keen and broad under
standing of the great issues of
our time. To Roman Catholics,
he was a dynamic spiritual lead
er and one of the greatest Popes
of all time.
People of all faiths mourn the
passing of this great man of
God.
