Mrs. Kennedy's Audience
With Pope John Is One Of
Rare Events Of His Reign
By Msgr. James I. Tucek
(Radio, NCWC News Service)
VATICAN CITY — The fa
therly warmth of His Holiness
Pope John XXIII and the ele
gance and poise of Mrs. Jac
queline Kennedy combined to
make their recent meeting
one of the rare encounters of
the Pontiff’s reign.
The wife of President John
F. Kennedy, was accompanied
from her Rome residence at
the Villa Taverna, where the
U. S. ambassador lives by
Archbishop Martin J. O’Con
nor, a native of Scranton, Pa.,
and rector of the North
American College in Rome.'
She arrived at the Vatican at
10:35 a. m. and was received
in the courtyard of St. Damas-
us by U. S. priests serving with
the Papal Secretariat of State:
Msgrs. Pius Benincasa of Buf
falo, N. Y., and Paul Marcinkus
of Chicago, and Father Daniel
F. Cronin of Boston.
The First Lady wore a full
length black dress of simple
but elegant cut with a high
collar and long sleeves. She
wore three strands of pearls
and her head was covered with

a black lace mantilla. Her
beauty and poise were striking.
After ascending by elevator,
Msr. Kennedy and the Ameri
can prelates passed along the
Raphael-designed loggia to the
Clementine Hall of the Vati
can Palace. Her entrance into
the hall was saluted by a
squad of six Swiss Guards.
In the hall, Mrs. Kennedy
was received by Msgr. Mario
Nasalli Rocca di Corneliano,
master of chambers, and digni
taries of the papal household.
Her passage through the se
ries of rooms leading to the
Pope’s study was saluted by
units of the Palatine and No
ble Guards.
At precisely 11 a. m., Arch
bishop O’Connor and Msgr.
Nasalli Rocca escorted Mrs.
Kennedy to the Pope’s study.
On entering, she genuflected,
kissed the Pope’s ring and sat
down in a chair beside his
desk.
Mrs. Kennedy later said that
she was immediately put at
ease by the Pope’s manner.
During the 30-minute audi
ence, she said, she and the
Pope talked about her family.
She recalled that when she
told the Pope that her daugh
ter’s name is Caroline, he said:
“Ah, after the saintly Charles
Borromeo.”
The Pope called to her at
tention that he, her husband
and her son all have the same
name—John.
In an exchange of gifts at
the end of the audience, Pope
Joh;i gave Mrs. Kennedy rosa
ries and medals for members
of her family. She presented
the Pope with a volume of the
President’s speeches. “To Turn
the Tide.”
Toward the end of the audi
ence, Archbishop O’Connor,
Msgr. Thomas Ryan of the Sec
retariat of State, Msgr. Benin
casa, Msgr. Marcinkus and Fa
ther Cronin rejoined Mrs.
Kennedy and the Pope.
Pope John escorted Mrs.
Kennedy out of his study and
through a series of .adjoining
rooms, an honor considered
rare since he normally bids
goodby to his guests at the
threshold of his study.
Immediately after leaving
the Pope, Mrs. Kennedy went
to the apartment of Amleto
Cardinal Cicognani, Papal Sec
retary of State and former
Apostolic Delegate to the U. S.,
where she visited for 20 min
utes. The Cardinal gave her a
prayerbook in English for Ca
roline’s First Communion and
a doll dressed in the uniform
of a Swiss Guard.
While Mrs. Kennedy was
visiting Cardinal Cicognani,
Pope John received in special
audience a group of more than
30 U. S. newsmen who are fol
lowing Mrs. Kennedy in her
travels. The Pope greeted each
journalist individually and
chatted generally as he passed
from one to the other.
Mrs. Kennedy, Archbishop
O’Connor, U. S. embassy offi
cials and newsmen left the
Vatican shortly before noon.
As their motorcade passed
through St. Peter’s square* an
estimated 15,000 people were

Top Scot Presbyterian
Leader Arrives In Rome;
Plans Meeting With Pope
ROME, (NC) — The spiritual
heir of John Knox as Scot
land’s top Presbyterian leader
arrived here to celebrate the
centennial of a Calvinist
church — and to visit the Pope
standing in the rain waiting
for the Pope’s noon blessing.
The cars were halted momen
tarily by the crowd which
wanted a look at Mrs. Kenne
dy. After the Pope’s blessing,
the cars continued to the
North American College where
Mrs. Kennedy was to attend
Mass.
At the college, secret ser
vicemen were advised of the
motorcade’s arrival by walkie-
talkie. The college grounds
were cleared except for a care
fully screened corps of re
porters and cameramen.
The motorcade arrived at the
formal entrance to the college
and Mrs. Kennedy was escort
ed by Archbishop O’Connor
into the college’s reception
room, where the First Lady
was introduced to faculty
members.
Mrs. Kennedy and two es
corts then attended Mass of
fered by Archbishop O’Con
nor ’in his private chapel on
the college’s fourth floor. No
other persons were present.
Following Mass, Mrs. Ken
nedy, accompanied by the
Archbishop, returned to the
college’s main floor. As she
stepped from the elevator, she
was greeted by applause from
the student body which lined
the sides of the corridor lead
ing to the main chapel.
After a brief visit in the
main chapel, Mrs. Kennedy re
turned to her car, said goodby
to Archbishop O’Connor and
returned to her residence ac
companied by embassy offi
cials.

The Rt. Rev. Archibald C.
Craig, Moderator of the
Church of Scotland, landed in
Rome (March 21) after a fort
night’s visit to the Holy Land.
The day before his arrival, it
was announced here — and
simultaneously by the Church
of Scotland press bureau in
Edinburgh — that Dr. Craig
would pay a courtesy call on
His Holiness Pope John XXIII.
The announcement made
here said that the meeting
“has been arranged through
the Vatican Secretariat for
Promoting Christian Unity.” It
continued:
“The secretariat informed
the Holy Father that the

Honors Pioneers In II. S.
Catholic Interracial Work
NEW YORK (NC) — Two
founders of the U. S. Catholic
interracial movement were
honored here (March 19) by the
American Jewish Committee
for their “dedicated struggle”
against discrimination and big
otry.
They are Father John La
Farge, S.J., chaplain emeritus
of the Catholic Interracial
Council of New York, and
George K. Hunton, executive
secretary emitus of the New
York council. Both men retir
ed earlier this year from act
ive roles in the council but
have remained in an advisory
capacity.
The Jewish human rights or
ganization presented Father
La Farge with a Menorah, the
seven-stick candelabrum rep
resenting the seven days of
creation, the seven continents
and the seven planets. Hunton
received a Seder, or Passover
plate.
Father La Farge, 81, a asso
ciate editor of America, the
national weekly magazine pub
lished by the Jesuits, warned
that the present period of his
tory is conducive “to the man
ufacture of panic psychology.”
The interracial leader said:
“The experience of our
Catholic interracial movement
over the years has been that no
agent is more powerful, outside
of the Divine Grace itself, to
combat and restore sanity than
the laborious task of combin
ing the highest spiritual ideal

that a courtesy visit to His
Holiness would maniest Chris

and be a step to a friendlier
relationship between Protes

where.
“His Holiness deeply appre
ciated this Christian gesture
and replied that he would, for
his part, warmly welcome such
a courtesy visit. The secretariat
will make further arrange
ments for the visit when Dr.
Craig arrives in Rome this
week. It is expected that His

The main requirement, he
added, is “to let nothing scare
us into excitement on the one
hand or inactivity and timidity
on the other.”
