French Relatives
RecaSI Memories
Of Pope John XXIIS
PARIS. (Radio, NC)—A kins
man of His Holiness Pope John
XXIII who lives in France re
calls that as a child Angelo
Roncalli always carried a pray
er book with him, even when
playing in the fields.
The relative of the new Pope
is a second cousin, a retired iron
mine worker named Bolognini
who lives in the town of Man-
cieulles in Lorraine.
There are other relatives of
Pope John living in three other
large villages in different parts
of France. All are respected
workers, humble Italians who
came to France long ago in or
der to make a living.
Mr. Bolognini was watching
television in Manieulles when
the election of the new Pope was
announced. His grandmother
and the grandmother of Cardi
nal Roncalli were sisters, and
he was immediately bombard
ed with questions by newsmen.
Mr. Bolognini recalled that he
had sat on the same bench with
his cousin Angelo in grammar
school in the town of Sotto il
Monte. He said the young Ron
calli always carried a book of
prayers with him, even out in
the fields. And he said that the
village priest once stated from
his lectern:
“Some day they will make
Don Angelo Roncalli pope.”
In another Lorraine town.
Joeuf, where there is a large
colony of Italian iron miners,
73-year-old Alessandro Roncalli.
was called into the street by his
neighbors and told of the elec
tion of his relative.
The new Pope also has kinfolk
in Villers - Franquex, near
Rheims. They are Jean Colom
bo, 59-year-old mason, and his
sister Maria, 51, who have lived
in the town for the last 38 years.
Maria Colombo is sacristan of
the local church. She heard the
news of the papal election on
the radio and ran at once to her
brother’s house shouting:
“Cousin Roncalli has been
elected.”
They went together to church
to pray at once for the new
Pontiff.
Jean Colombo, a naturalized
French citizen, fought in the
French Army in World War II.
When the then Archbishop Ron
calli was Apostolic Nuncio in
Paris, he met his Colombo cous
ins more than once. One notable
occasion was when the Nuncio
came to Rheims in 1950 to bless
the then partially restored basil
ica of St. Remi. He had invited
his cousins to meet him at the
residence of the Archbishop of
Rheims, and had them to lunch.
Questioned by newsmen, Jean
Colombo said:
“Our cousin is extremely mer
ry and kindly. No matter what
the hour, his door is always
open to those who need advice
or help.”
Asked whether he had
thought Cardinal Roncalli would
be elected, Mr. Colombo said
both he and his sister had hoped
so. In fact, he added, his sister
had prayed to the Blessed Vir
gin for his election every morn
ing from the beginning of the
conclave and had placed white
flowers at the feet of her statue.
Mr. Colombo told newsmen
that his cousin had often given
them good counsel. Asked if he
could recall any specific bit of.
advice given him, he replied,
“There was one thing of which
he reminded me whenever we
parted. It has always remained
with me. Follow the example of
Mary and Joseph, he would say.
and never forget to go to Mass.”
A 1 congratulatory telegram
was sent to the Vatican from
Chalabres, a town near Carcas-
sone by an 80-year-old man.
Telegraph employees were sur
prised to note that it was signed
Angelo Roncalli. They wonder
ed how the name of the new
Pontiff could appear on a tele
gram addressed to him. Later
they learned that the old man
was another relative of Pope
John now living in France.

— The Old Reliable For Over 37 Years —
Former French
President- Praises
His “Old Friend 0
LA LAVANDOU, France, (Ra
dio, NC) — From his winter
retreat here on the Mediterran
ean shore near Toulon, Vincent
Auriol, former French Presi
dent, told reporters about his
reactions to the election of his
friend to the papacy.
The future Pope John XXIII
was Archbishop Angelo Roncal
li, Apostolic Nuncio to France,
when ex-President Auriol knew
him.
“His nunciature paralled my
seven years in office as Presi
dent of France,” Mr. Auriol re
marked. “Of course, I have no
competence to judge anything
from the Catholic point of
view,” he continued,“ but what
I can say is that he was a pro
foundly pious prelate who was
very conscious of the role the
Church ought to play in the af
fairs of the world.
Mr. Auriol went on to praise
the way in which Archbishop
Roncalli, as dean of the diplo
matic corps, addressed to him
the traditional New Year greet
ings of the diplomatic corps:
“He would always take his

place beside Soviet Ambassador
Bogomolov and deliver his ad
dress in a rich voice lilting with
a charming Italian accent. He
always chose as his theme a
verse from the Gospel and it
was always the idea of peace
that he developed.”
The former President recalled
that in January, 1953, as chief
of state he had had the privi
lege of presenting to the newly
named Cardinal Roncalli the red
biretta which was the sign of
his new dignity. Premier Rene
Mayer and Foreign Minister
George Bedault were present to
gether with the ambassadors of
several Catholic countries. The
Turkish Ambassador was also
there for the ceremony because
the new Cardinal had formerly
served as Apostolic Nuncio to
Turkey.
Mr. Auriol recalled that the
new Cardinal had asked per
mission to invite several of his
childhood friends to attend the
presentation ceremony, among
them the mayor of his native
village, Sotto il Monte.
“It was deeply moving to see
his friends weep for joy,” Mr.
Auriol said.
“Archbishop Roncalli told me
about his origins,” he continued.
“On both sides, his family was
humble. His family was not rich
and in his childhood he had ex
perienced want if not utter mis
ery. However, as a Prince of the
Church, he was not ashamed of
his origins and the presence of
his humble childhood friends
was proof of that.
“During the luncheon that I
gave in his honor, Cardinal
Roncalli relaxed. He is a charm
ing teller of stories. His wit has
a delicate irony. I found that
out when he wrote a dedication
in a book which he gave me
during my illness.
“Later when Cardinal Roncal
li was Patriarch of Venice, he
invited me to come to see him.
As soon as he learned of my ar
rival in the city, he came to my
hotel suite and greeted me most
affectionately, to the great as
tonishment of the hotel person
nel. During my visit, he showed
me a little modest, badly fur
nished apartment where he said
Pope Pius X had lived when, he
was Patriarch of Venice before
his election to the papacy.
“I murmured that perhaps
Venice would be the place from
which the successor to Pius
would come. He smiled but did
not reply.”
