Gaetano Cardinal Cicognani,
Brother Of Former Delegate
To U.S., Dies At Age Of 80
CARDINAL CICOGNANI
ROME, (NC) — A Pontifical
Requiem Mass was offered
here (Feb. 8) for Gaetano
Cardinal Cicognani, 80, a vet
eran of 38 years of diplomatic
service for the' Holy See and
brother of Amleto Cardinal Ci
cognani, former Apostolic Del
egate to the U. S.
The Cardinal, who was Pre
fect of the Sacred Congrega
tion of Rites, which deals with
the canonization of saints, died
(Feb. 5) in Rome of a heart at
tack. He received the last rites
of the Church shortly before
his death. His Holiness Pope
John XXIII sent him a special
blessing.
Present at the deathbed of
the cardinal was his brother,
Amleto Cardinal Cicognani.
A medical bulletin issued af
ter the Cardinal’s death stated
that on February 2 he was
struck by an attack of influen
za, but his condition was not
considered grave. The situa
tion was complicated, how
ever, by a recurrence of a
hemorrhage he had suffered
previously, which brought on
the collapse of the heart.
Pope John’s secretary, Msgr.
Loris Capovilla, visited the
Cardinal’s room shortly after
this death was announced and
brought a message of sympa
thy from the Pope to the Card
inal’s brother. Archbishop An
tonio Samore, Secretary of the
Sacred Congregation for Ex
traordinary Church Affairs,
also visited the dead Cardinal’s
bedside.
Gaetano Cardinal Cicognani
climaxed his long and distin
guished career in the Vatican
diplomatic corps by embarking
on another one in December,
1953, when he was named Pre
fect . of the Sacred Congrega
tion of Rites.
Card. Muench
In Serious
Condition
ROME, (NC—Aloisius Cardi
nal Muench, only American
Cardinal in the Church’s cen
tral administration, has been
reported by his doctors to be
in serious condition but not
in imminent danger.
. A statement from Salvator
Mundi International Hospital
said the Parkinson’s Disease
from which Cardinal Muench
has suffered for the past sev
eral years was aggravated by
further complications.
The statement was issued by
Dr. George Randegger, medi
cal director of the hospital.
Cardinal Muench took resi
dence at Salvator Mundi upon
becoming a Cardinal in 1959.
Because of the complications
the Cardinal’s attending phy
sician, Dr. Nicholas Musacchio,
brought in the eminent Italian
physician, Dr. Cesare Frugoni,
for consultation.
Dr. Randegger said Cardinal
Muench’s condition could be
‘regarded with optimism. The
Cardinal was put on a schedule
of absolute rest.
His Holiness Pope John
XXIII sent a message to Cardi
nal Muench as soon as he
heard of the American Cardi
nal’s condition. He assured
him of his blessing and pray
ers.

Cardinal De Gouveia, One
Of Africa’s Two Princes
Of Church, Dies At 72
LOURENCO MARQUES,
Mozambique—Teodosio Card
inal de Gouveia, Archbishop of
Lourenco Marques, has died
here (Feb. 6) at the age of
72 after a long battle against
leukemia.
He was the second cardinal
to die within 24 hours. A day
earlier Gaetano Cardinal Ci
cognani, Prefect of the Sacred
Congregation of Rites, died in
Rome.
His death in a general hos
pital here leaves Africa with
only one cardinal, Laurean
Cardinal Rugambwa, Bishop of
Bukoba, Tanganyika. Shortly
before his,death, Cardinal de
Gouveia received a message
and a blessing from His Holi
ness Pope John XXIII.
Cardinal de Gouveia was
born to a poor, peasant family
on Funchal, in the Madeira Is
lands, on May 13, 1889. He was
educated at the Funchal dio
cesan seminary, and later un
der the Vincentian Fathers in
Paris, before being sent to the
Portuguese College in Rome.
Ordination came on Easter
Sunday of 1919. He served his
early years as a priest in Por
tugal, but was recalled to
Rome in 1929 to serve on the
faculty of the Portuguese Col
lege.
Named a bishop by Pope
Pius XI in 1936, he was put in
charge of the missions in
Mozambique. He became first
Archbishop of Lourenco
Marques in 1941, and was cre
ated a cardinal by Pope Pius
XII on February 18, 1946.
For 14 years the only card
inal on the African continent,
he was uncompromising in
upholding Portuguese rule in
Mozambique. When the in
dependence movement in An
gola — the huge Portuguese-
ruled territory in western Af
rica — erupted into violence
early in 1961, Cardinal de
Gouveia was quick to issue a
public call for prayers for the
triumph of the motherhood.
Cardinal de Gouveia’s early
years as an educator — first in
his native Madeiras and later
\as rector of the Portuguese
College in Rome — served to
make him an avid promoter of
a comprehensive mission
school system. While he com
plained of divisive results
stemming from inroads of
Protestant mission school ac
tivities, he maintained that
any Christian education —

STOP
SWARMING TERMITES
Catholic or Protestant — was
p r ef erabie to nonreligious
schooling.
He spoke out specifically on
this question in 1953 and 1954,
when the Mau Mau terriorists
were wrecking havoc in the
British East African colony of
Kenya. The Mau Mau activity
in Kenya was proof, Cardinal
de Gouveia said, of “what can
happen when native education
is neglected, or worse still,
When the native is given a
secular instead of an essential
ly religious education.”
Cardinal de Gouveia insisted
that the intense antiwhite feel
ing characteristic of the Mau
Mau movement did not exist
in those parts of Africa where
Catholic or Protestant schools
prevailed.
Cardinal de Gouveia was ar
dent in his devotion to the
Blessed Virgin Mary, and vis-
tima whenever he had an op
portunity. In 1958, during the
celebration of the 100th anni
versary of the Blessed Virgin’s
apparitions at Lourdes, France,
he called his people to take
part in the observance. He
stressed especially the Virgin’s
call for prayer and penance.
Cardinal de Gouveia was a
member of several major bod
ies in the central administra
tion of the Church, among
them the Sacred Congregations
of the Sacraments, for the Pro
pagation of the Faith, and of
Seminaries and Universities.
He was also a member of the
Central Preparatory Commis
sion for the coming ecumenical
council.
The death of Cardinal Ci
cognani and of Teodosio Card
inal de Gouveia, Archbishop of
Lourenco Marques, Mozambi
que, on the following day
(Feb. 6) leaves the College of
Cardinals with a total of 78
members, 27 Italians and 51
non-Italians.
Centenary
Spain’s national pontifical
missionary society has des
ignated 1962 as a “Year of
the Propagation of the Faith”
to mark the centenary of
the death of Pauline Jaricot
(above), foundress of the
Society for the Propagation
of the faith. In 1822 at Lyon,
France, Pauline Jaricot laid
the foundations for the papal
missionary society by gath
ering a group of men and
women to pray and sacrifice
for the sake of the missions.

Question Box—
(Continued from Page ‘ 4)
ture being what it is—y/hich
is one reason why spiFitual
writers constantly caution
against saying too many for
mal prayers. (“A little and of
ten” is one good rule of
thumb.) Yet voluntary distrac
tions, in one degree or another,
spoil prayer. As such, they
are sinful in themselvbs and
can even nullify prayer. This
is what is meant by saying
that smoking while praying is
wrong.
ON THE other hand every
honest phase of human activi
ty can be offered to God as
a prayer or in the spirit of
prayer. His Holiness Pope
John XXill has just re-em
phasized this principle by
granting a plenary indulgence,
under the usual conditions
(i.e., confession, Communion,
a visit to a church and prayers
for the Pontiff’s intentions) to
those who piously offer up
their daily work to God. Such
an obligation obviously ren
ders one’s day’s labor as a
continuous implicit or infor
mal prayer. This is what is
mean by saying that praying
while smoking can be all right.
AS FATHER BOYLAN puts
it: “The point about smoking
is, that if it is not a sin, it can
certainly be shared with God,
and if so, there is no reason
why we should not talk to Him
while enjoying one of the crea
tures He has made for our rec
reation and refreshment.”
SO THAT the story about
smoking is merely a device for
instruction as to the various
kinds of prayers. Certainly it
is also true that smoking can
be sinful in some cases; where,
for example, it has been ruled
out by competent medical; ad
vice because of serious disease.
And it is hoped that no one
will get the impression from
this column that smokers are
necessarily more prayerful
than non-smokers.
A man is one the down
grade the minute he begins to
think his second-best is good
enough.
