PART VII MOSLEMS, ORTHODOX, CATHOLICS AND WAR Archbishop Angelo Roncalli arrived in Istanbul, capital of the “new” Turkey on January 4, 1935, and his first act was a wise and diplomatic one — he registered with the police.

STerling 3-2264 Officially the new Apostolic Delegate in Turkey had to con sider himself a foreigner and needed a visa and permit to stay. From his first day, Roncalli was meticulous in observing this rule, even when his personal friendship reached the highest circles of the Turkish govern ment. THREE JOBS IN ONE When he arrived from Sofia, Bulgaria, only a secretary from the delegation was on hand to meet him. Together they went to the office of the city governor and the chief of police. The fact that he complied with the law, without claiming any rights to delay the process, impressed both local and national officials. The “new” Turkey to which Archbishop Roncalli had been assigned by Pope Pius XI was under the leadership of the powerful and progressive Kemal Pasha Ataturk. In its dedicated drive to achieve national unity after the overthrow of the Sul tans the “new” Turkey was hostile to Christian groups. During the future Pope John XXIII’s stay in Turkey the situation of Christians began to improve. The Archbishop was allowed to wear his ecclesiasti cal habit because he was the head of a Christian community and, therefore exempt from the law which forbade wearing reli gious dress to priests and nuns. He wore the Roman collar but not the cassock and his secre tary and other priests dressed in civilian clothes. In his new assignment, Arch bishop Roncalli had three jobs. He was Apostolic Delegate in Turkey and in Greece, that is, he was the Pope’s representative to the Catholics of those two countries. He was also head of the Apos tolic Vicariate of Constantino ple, the older name of Istanbul. In this office he was bishop of a flock who looked to him not as a diplomat but as a father. The last responsibility, which could not be written into his credentials, was that he was ex pected to have some contact with the Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople, who held the “Primacy of honor” among all Orthodox patriarchs. Archbishop Roncalli took up his residence in Istanbul and from there visited Athens from time to time. The story of his tremendously effective work in Greece requires a separate chap ter in itself. The Catholic population of Turkey was very small. The total population of the country in 1940 during his time there was 17.9 million. Of these about 20.000 were Catholics of both the Latin and Oriental rites. Of these, about 10,000 were located in the Vicariate of Con stantinople with 67 priests and 49 churches. Also under his jurisdiction was the Vicariate of Smyrna with about 1,000 Catholics spotted throughout its 110.000 square miles. A mission territory, Trebizond, counted 214 Catholics in its area of 120,000 square miles. Archbishop Roncalli spent the major portion of his pre-war years exercising his ministry as head of the Latin Rite Vicariate. He showed particular zeal in supporting Catholic schools, providing funds to keep them in existence when there was danger of their going under for lack of money. Although he functioned on a non-diplomatic level, Arch bishop Roncalli traveled two or three times a year to Ankara, the capital; to pay formal calls on the diplomats and officials of the government. In the war years the calls were more fre quent and of great import. SAVES OLD CHURCH The Turkish government out of courtesy gave him such facili ties as are granted to diplomats and he developed friendships with government officials. Among his close friends was Numan Menemengioglu, secre tary general of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the time of his selection to the papacy, Turkish papers re called how often Archbishop Roncalli had expressed admina- tion of Kemal Pasha Ataturk and how that admiration had been reciprocated by Ataturk himself. The Turkish diplomat Reckid Staffet Atabinen recalled in an article how highly Ataturk ap preciated Roncalli’s orders that certain prayers and sermons be delivered in Turkish in the na tion’s Catholic churches. When Ataturk died in 1938 Catholics of Istanbul took part in the national mourning. Cath olics gave the same honors to Ismet Inonu, who succeeded Ataturk, when he too died. Archbishop Roncalli’s good re lations with the Turkish govern ment also played a part in the modern history of one of the most important monuments in the world, the church of “Hagia Sophia,” in Istanbul. This was built in the 9th cen tury by the Emperor Justinian. Originally a Catholic Church, it bacame in turn an Orthodox ca thedral and finally a mosque, one of the most venerated in Islam. With the overthrow of the Ot toman Empire, the Ataturk re gime planned to turn the build- Late in 1934 Archbishop Roncalii was appointed Apostolic Dele gate to Greece and Turkey. Here he visits a community of Capuchins in Istanbul. WITHAM’S FABRICS CENTER Let us help decorate yout home with beautiful Colorama Fabrics.

Thanks to Roncalli’s endeavors this plan was not carried out and it was preserved as a historical monu ment. But he won even greater con cessions. The Turkish govern ment consented to remove some of the modern decorations and thus uncovered the ancient Christian painting of the Cross, the image of Christ, the Blessed Virgin and the saints. In his first year in Istanbul, Angelo Roncalli’s father died in Sotto il Monte. The 81-year-old peasant Giovanni Battista Ron calli, whom the future Pope was to remember when it became to choosing his name of John XXIII, left a testament and ex ample to which his more famous son was always faithful. It was the example of a sim ple life, of accepting God’s will and continuing the tradition of his ancestors, peasants like him self, of loving the land.
