POPE JOHN TAKES STRONG
ACTION AGAINST REDS IN
FIRST YEAR OF HIS REIGN
By Patrick Gavan-Duffy Riley
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY — During
the first year of his reign His
Holiness Pope John XXIII took
the sternest anticommunist ac
tion to issue from the Holy See
in a decade.
His first 12 months as Pon
tiff also saw him call for the re
turn of separated Christians to
the Church and express his “af
fection for the entire American
nation” during his visit to
Rome’s North American Col
lege.
Early this spring Pope John
ruled it sinful for Catholics to
vote for any political candidate,
communist or not, ■ known to
support communists or their ac
tivities. The ruling came in the
form of a “monitum,” or warn
ing, issued by the Sacred Con
gregation of the Holy Office.
Approved by the Pope as Pre
fect of the congregation, it
complemented and stiffened the
Holy Office ruling of 1949 which
excommunicated communists
and those who support commu
nism.
Pope John’s action apparently
dashed the hopes of the Soviet
newspaper New Times, which
had greeted Pope John’s elec
tion with the pious wish that
he would support “the princi
ples of coexistence.”
The anticommunist ruling is
believed to have been occasion
ed by a political coalition of
communists and rebellious
members of the Christian Dem
ocratic party in Sicily. But Pope
John had condemned collabo
ration with extreme leftists —
collaboration known as the “op-

ening to the left” — in 1956
when he was Patriarch of Ven
ice. He called it “wrong in its
premise and fatal in its appli
cation.”
To his associates and to the
world Pope John frequently
voiced his anxiety for people
in communist-ruled countries
and his sorrow at communist
persecution of the Church. In
an address on Pentecost he call
ed communist attempts to cre
ate schismatic churches “a
great reason for sadness” which
“the habitual serenity of Our
demeanor does not allow to
show through.” But he was vis
ibly sad as he spoke.
Five months earlier the Pope
-—for the first time in any papal
utterance — had referred to
“schism” in China. He said that
the word seemed to burn his
lips. Now, on Pentecost Sunday,
he said: “It is with great sorrow
that we must say the position of
the Church in China seems to
have deteriorated further.”
His counsel to Catholics in
Iron Curtain countries was: Re
main firm in the Faith yet love
those who would deprive you
of it. He composed a prayer for
the Church of Silence.
Pope John issued his first en
cyclical letter on June 29. The
10.000-word encyclical, entitled
“Ad Petri Catedram” (To the
See of Peter), earnestly invited
separated Christians to return
to the Catholic Church, and ap
pealed to the leaders of nations
to strive for peace.
In urging separated Chris
tians to return to Rome the
Pope revealed a touch of the
poet. “I am your brother Jos
eph,” he told them. This was a
reminder of his own Christian
name of Joseph. It was also an
exact echo of the cry of the
Patriarch Joseph, who in these
words revealed his identity to
his long-separated brothers,
men who had once exiled him
and who saw in him only the
all-powerful governor of an
alien land.
From the first days of his
pontificate Pope John made a
habit of chatting with all Vati
can employees he met on his
many ramblings through Vati
can City. He asked them about
their family, their household
budget, their cares and anxie
ties. A- new pay and pension
scheme for them was the re
sult. And one feature of the
Vatican’s plan bore the unmis
takable mark of John XXIII: fi
nancial help for struggling
young students from the fam
ilies of Vatican workers.
On July 19 the Pope moved
to his summer residence at Cas-
telgandolfo, about 13 miles
south of Rome in the Alban
Hills. He returned to his resi
dence in the Vatican on Sep
tember 24, almost two months
earlier than Pius XII was in
the custom of returning. And
unlike Pius, who adhered to the
same strick work schedule at
Castelgandolfo that he kept at
the Vatican, Pope John took
more time for relaxation. He
frequently left the papal villa
to grant audiences at the Vat-

OLDEST PRIEST —- NEWEST BISHOP: Said to be the old
est priest in the United States, Father Joseph Samuel Garcia, 100,
a godson of famed scout Kit Carson, is shown with the nation s
newest Catholic bishop, Bishop Charles A. Buswell, recently con
secrated for the Diocese of Pueblo. The bishop celebrated Father
Garcia’s 100th birthday Mass, October 28, in Mt. San Rafael Hos
pital, Trinidad, Colorado, where the priest lives in retirement.

ican, to see some of the sights
around the Alban Hills, to visit
churches, seminaries and sick
friends. He also canceled for the
summer his daily schedule of
conferences with the Church’s
administrative officials. He had
restored these regular audienc
es upon his accession to the
papacy.
The Pope’s second encyclical
letter was issued on August 1.
It was entitled “Sacerdotii Nos-
tri Primordia” (From the Begin
ning of Our Priesthood) and its
9,000 words dealt with priestly
life. The centenary of the death
of St. John Vianney, patron of
parish priests, was the occasion
of the encyclical and the ex
ample of this model priest was
cited throughout.
During the second week in
September word leaked out that
the Holy See had ordered a halt
to the priest-worker experiment
in France. Within a few days a
secular newspaper in France
published the document that in
structed the French bishops to
erid the experiment. It was a
letter from the Sacred Congre
gation of the Holy Office — the
Church’s supreme administrat
ive watchdog of faith and mor
als — dated July 3. The decision
contained in the letter had Pope
John’s personal approval.
For October, the month of the
Rosary, Pope John issued an
encyclical calling on Catholics
to pray the Rosary for five in
tentions: guidance of the Pope,
success of missionaries and the
apostolate, peace among na
tions, success of Rome’s forth
coming diocesan synod, and the
success of the forthcoming ec
umenical council. The 1,400-
word document was dated Sep
tember 26 and was known by
its opening words, “Grata Re-
cordatio” (Graceful Memory).
On October 11 the Pope went
to the North American College
•—the seminary for Americans
that is situated on Janiculum
Hill overlooking the Vatican—
to preside at the college’s cen
tenary celebrations. The Pope
had two surprises for the
Americans.
He made his first address in
English. After replying in Latin
to a Latin address of welcome
by the college’s rector, Arch
bishop Martin J. O’Connor,
Pope John produced a type
written speech and to the de
light of the more than 2,000
present ,began speaking in Eng
lish. His pronunciation was
clear and audible, though
strongly accented.
The second surprise was the
announcement that the beatifi
cation cause of Mother Eliza
beth Seton, American-born con
vert and the foundress of
America’s Sisters of Charity,
had successfully completed an
important step in the beatifica
tion process. He said there was
reason to hope the cause would
soon reach a happy conclusion.
The Pope imparted his bless
ing in English “in token of Our
affection for the entire Ameri
can nation, so dear to us.”
