Their presence creates a val uable tradition, he said. At the same time he noted that he had seen many young people, work ing under the * “pioneers.” This, he said, symbolizes the fact that the organ of the U. S. Bi shops also is a ‘‘living organi zation, looking to the future.” The division of the N.C.W.C. into departments, each with its own field of specialization, shows an over-all plan that is ‘‘wise and bound to be effec tive,” he said. Of the various fields of interest he singled out schools—“so important for Ca tholic Action and Catholic Life’ ’ —and press work for special mention. He sent a special greeting and blessing to the pu pils, teachers and benefactors of Catholic schools. The Catholic Press organiza tion of the country, he said renders a great service to the cause of the Catholic Church. He spoke especially of its modern methods, and of the spe cial work of disseminating Ca tholic news in Latin America. This work was instituted by the U. S. Bishops in 1941 when they established Noticias Catholi- cias, Spanish-language edition of the N.C.W.C. Monsignor Montini expressed the thanks of the Holy See to the N.C.W.C. staff, who, he said, “Work so well, at personal sac rifice,” for the good of the Church. He voiced special greetings to the American Hier archy, to the N.C.W.C. Admin istrative Board, and to Msgr. Howard J. Carroll, N.C.W.C. General Secretary. A throng of more than 200 persons attended the reception for Monsignor Montini in the Bishops’ Conference Room of the N.C.W.C. headquarters building. In the receiving line with the Vatican official were Archbish op Cicognani, Msgr. McGeough, Msgr. Carroll, and Msgr. Paul Tanner, Assistant General Sec retary, N.C.W.C. Dignitaries high in the na tion’s affairs were among those who attended the reception. Also present were the officials and members of the Staff of the various departments and bur eaus of the National Catholic Community Service. Among those present were Archbishop Patrick A. O’Boyle of Washington; Attorney Gen eral J. Howard McGrath; U.S. Senator Joseph C. O’Mahoney of Wyoming; James M. Mead, chairman of the Federal Trade Commission and former U.S. Senator from New York; Mau- ricio Nabuco, Brazilian Am bassador to the U.S., and formerly Brazilian Ambas sador to the Holy See; William D. Hassett, secretary to Pre sident Harry S. Truman; Mrs. Augustine B. Kelley, wife of Representative Kelley ofPen- sylvania; Assistant U. S. At torney General A. Devitt Vanech; Thomas E. Murray of the U. S. Atomic Energy Com mission; CIO President Phillip Murray, and many others. PHONE: AMherst 5-4710 BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA IN AUGUSTA . . . MEMORIALS S.R. KELLY & SON, INC.

INDUSTRIAL AND PLUMBING SUPPLIES 225 Newcastle St. Brunswick, Georgia The Southern Cross, June 29, 1963—PAGE 5 Today’s Problems Faced Other Pauls Cardinal, Episcopal Bishops Exchange Blessings ST. LOUIS, (NC)—Blessings were exchanged between Jo seph Cardinal Ritter, Archbishop of St. Louis, and leading members of the Protestant Episcopal Church, it was re vealed here by Bishop George L. Cadigan of the Missouri Protestant Episcopal diocese. Writing in the diocese’s monthly publication “Now,” the Bishop says that a few weeks ago he and three other Episcopal clergymen visited Cardinal Ritter and invited him to address a major session of the convention of Pro testant Episcopal Church in the U. S., to be held in St. Louis in October, 1964. Presiding Bishop Arthur Lichtenberger of the Protes tant Episcopal Church extended the invitation. With him and Bishop Cadigan were Dr. Clifford Morehuuse of New York, president of the Episcopal House of Deputies, and Rev. W. Murray Kenney of St. Mary Mark’s church, St. Louis Hills. “We were saying our goodbyes to Cardinal Ritter,” Bishop Cadigan writes in the diocesan publication, “and it seemed right to suggest that he give us his blessing. When we rose, he said very quietly that he would be honored if we gave him our blessings. This humility brought tears to my eyes.” (Continued from Page 4) Laetare Association, an organi zation whose sole but wonder ful aim is aiding needy young men to become priests of God. The very joyousness of her goal is found in her organiza tion’s name “Laetare.” Five years ago her organization was founded, since that time a group of fifty have joined the grate ful convert in aiding needy young men at the diocesan seminary with prayers and tuition expens es. Each month a Mass is offer ed for the intentions of “her” priests. The story of this wo man and her inspired work in founding the Laetare Associa tion is enough to bring a note of joy to any heart. There would seem to be no greater cause than one uniting priest and peo ple in a firm bond of love. * * * TOO OFTEN these days we are treated with novels, tele vision serials, plays about priests and people who are far from representatives. The novel and drama priest is hard ly recognizable as the men in black who bless our days. These stories do little to encour age young men to enter the priesthood. The priests unsung and unhonored who pass among us are my heroes. It is a joy ous thing to know the story of one who so prompted by grati tude and love for the Church Obituaries William Bremer, Sr. SAVANNAH — Funeral ser vices for Mr. William Bremer were held June 20th from The Sacred Heart Church.

Again sometimes, it takes the con vert to appreciate fully the won der and mystery of the faith and to see with clear eyes the es sence of the Church. It is not ed also that as a part of the an nual Laetare meeting that not only a priest is honored but the priest’s mother as well. Recently a Mass was offered in thanksgiving for the ordination anniversary of the priest who instructed this convert who re turned to say'thank you.' He has also offered for all the young men who were ordained for the diocese this month. In an nouncing this Mass, the con vert wrote to her associates in this truly great and blessed work . . . ‘ ‘To the men who are being ordained this month and who are dedicating their youth and strength, we pledge our rev erence and devotion . . . and we pray that they may ever walk in Christ’s footsteps.” Amen, Amen. VIETNAM- (Continued from Page 4) trolled by the Minister of Edu cation who is not Catholic. The article says: “Restric tive social legislation, such as bans on dancing, contracep tives, divorce and polygamy, runs counter to the customs and beliefs of the majority.” Western dancing and contracep tives have never been part of the customs and beliefs of any segment of Vietnamese people. Polygamy is obviously a social evil wherever it exists in East Asia and those who oppose it should hardly have to justify their stand. Divorce is also an evil for East Asia in the eyes of many. To infer that Buddhists make up “a majority of South Viet nam’s people” is also mislead ing. There has been no reli gious census. Inscribed mem bers of the General Buddhist Association numbered only one million last year. Practicing Buddhist Association numbered only one million last year. Practicing Buddhists are es timated at between three and four million at the most. Others practice ancestor veneration, Confucianism and Taoism with occasional visits to Buddhist pagodas. Sizeable numbers of Caodaists and hundreds of thou sands of animist mountaineers are also in South Vietnam. Waynesboro Bible Camp WAYNESBORO,—A two week Summer Bible Camp is scheduled for the children of Burke, Jefferson, and Jenkins Counties at Waynesboro for the second and third weeks of July. All of those who have com pleted the first grade in school are welcome to the daily 3 1/2 hour sessions which will be held at Sacred Heart Church. The camp is to be conducted by two of the Glenmary Sisters from Statesboro. The Sisters, who for these two weeks will be using a parishioner’s tempo rarily vacated home as their base of operations, will be in charge of activities which will include Catechism classes, arts and crafts, singing and drama tics. Children from the towns, of Louisville and Millen and surrounding areas will be transported daily to the camp site and brought home after the daily Mass to be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. Mr. and Mrs. John Jeanson, presently visiting in England and Holland, have generously donated the use of their home for the two weeks. (N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) VATICAN CITY—Many of today’s problems and issues facing His Holiness Pope Paul VI also had to be dealt with over the centuries by one or another of his five predecessors of the same name. Efforts at Christian unity marked the reigns of Popes Pau 1 II and V, both of whom sought to achieve and reunion of the Russian Orthodox Church with the Holy See. Church renewal, which Pope John XXIII said was a task of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, was a characteristic of the reformer, Pope Paul IV. The problems attendant on the holding of an ecumenical coun cil were experienced to the full by Paul III, who opened the Council of Trent in 1545 as the highpoint of his pontificate. Church-State problems, which still plague the Church in many parts of the world, were particularly difficult for Paul I and V. Work for peace in a war- threatened world was another high point in the reign of Paul HI, who brought about a 10-year truce between the main contend ing powers of his time, France and the Holy Roman Empire. Paul VI is the second Pontiff in a row to choose a name unused by popes for centuries. John XXIII took a name that had not been used for 624 years. The name Paul has not been used since Paul V died 342 years ago. Raimondo Manzini, editor of the Vatican City daily, L'Os- servatore Romano, told news men why the new Pontiff chose his name. “It is a symbol of ecumenical unity, venerated by Catholics, Protestants and Or thodox,” he said. Like the present Pope, all earlier Pauls were Italians. Also like him, the last three Pauls were diplomats in the service of the Holy See. The first Paul—the only one to be venerated as a saint— reigned from 757 to 767. He was the second member of the Orsini family of Rome to reach the papacy, succeeding his bro ther, Pope Stephen II. Only a priest at the time of his eleva tion, he was consecrated a bishop immediately thereafter. St. Paul I’s pontificate was marked by a struggle to regain control over the papal territor ies, which had fallen under Lombard of Byzantine domina tion. In his battle he had the aid of King Pepin of the Franks. He also had to defend orthodox doctrine regarding the Blessed Trinity and the veneration of holy statues against the devia tions of the Byzantine emperor and the iconoclasts of the East. Nearly seven centuries pass ed before another pontiff took the name of Paul. Paul II (Pietro Barbo), a na tive of Venice, was elected to the papacy in 1464. He had pre pared himself for a career as a merchant, but became a priest when his uncle, Pope Eugene IV, was elected to the papacy in 1431. At the beginning of his reign he strove unsuccessfully to form a Christian alliance against the Turks who were threatening to invade Italy. The invasion did not take place, however. He also sought to stem the pagan tendencies and here tical teachings of some Renais sance scholars and closed the Roman Academy, a center of opposition to efforts to maintain a pure Christianity. A patron of the arts, Paul II protected the universities and especially encouraged the art of printing, founding the papal publishing house, Liberia Edi- trice Vaticana. Besides seeking reunion with the Russain Orthodox, he revis ed the laws of the papal city, organized relief for its poor, granted the privilege of wearing the red biretta—three cornered hat—to all cardinals, and de creed that jubilee years should be celebrated every 25 years. He died in 1471. Paul III (Alessandro Famese) reigned from 1534 to 1549. A member of an ancient Roman family, he was an outstanding Renaissance scholar and patron of the arts. It was he who put Michelangelo in charge of the construction of St. Peter’s basi lica. Twice he unsuccessfully con voked ecumenical councils, at Mantua in 1536 and at Vicenza two years later. But political difficulties—the opposition of Protestant princes and the quarrel between King Francis I of France and Emperor Charles V—prevented them from meet ing. In 1545, however, he was able to open the Council of Trent. Among Paul Ill’s achieve ments were reforms of the papal curia, the construction of new buildings in Rome, the ap proval of the Jesuit Order and the fostering of other new reli gious societies, such as the Capuchins, Barnahites and Theatines. He also founded the Holy Office to combat heresy. He issued a condemnation of slavery and stood up for the rights of Indians in the newly discovered Americas. He was the Pope who excommunicated King Henry VIII of England. A major success of his reign showed his great skill as a diplomat. The truce he nego tiated between Francis I and Charles V permitted him to hold the Council of Trent. Paul IV (Giovanni Caraffa) was a member of a noble Nea politan family whose pontifi cate lasted from 1555 to 1559. He was Bishop of Chieti and Brindisi. In 1513 he served as legate from Pope Leo X to Henry VIII of England, and in 1515 was named nuncio to Spain. In 1524 he resigned his post as Bishop and, with St. Cajetan, founded the Theatin Order. He was named Archbishop of Nap les and a cardinal in 1536. He was known particularly for his efforts to reform the Church. He reorganized the In quisition in Italy and sought to eliminate corruption among the clergy and to end simony—the buying of offices—in the election of popes. Because of his austerity and because he granted many fa vors to his family to enrich them, he was widely unpopular. At his death his statue was torn down; its head was rolled through the streets of Rome and cast into the Tiber River. Paul V (Camillo Borghese) came to the papal throne in 1605. Born in Rome to a noble family from Siena, he was edu cated as a canon lawyer. He served as a nuncio to Spain, was named a cardinal in 1596 and became Vicar General of Rome in 1603. Like Paul II he tried to bring the Russian Orthodox Church back into union with the Holy See. He also strove to enforce the decrees of the Council of Trent, fostered the work of religious orders dedicated to education and the care of the sick and promoted missionary efforts, particularly in Canada and Africa. He canonized St. Charles Borromeo and St. Frances of Rome. During his pontificate St. Peter’s basilica was completed. His reign was marred by con troversies with Venice and Eng land. Venice—then an independent state—refused to exempt the clergy from the jurisdiction of its civil courts and passed a law banning the sale or donation of secular property to the Church. Paul V excommunicated Ve nice’s leader and placed the state under an interdict. The interdict, however, was gen erally disregarded in Venice, and the compromise solution of the problem negotiated through King Henry IV of France mark ed a decline in papal power. In 1606 he wrote to King James I of England and ex pressed his sorrow at the at tempt on the King’s life now known as the Gunpowder Plot. He asked the Protestant mon arch not to make innocent Ca- # tholics pay for the crime of a few men and promised to urge all English Catholics to be loyal to the King. But the oath of James I demanded of his sub jects contained clauses which Catholics could not accept, and Paul V had to condemn the oath. James I falsely accused Paul V of originating the plot and launched a severe persecution of Catholics. SPOKESMEN OF MANY LANDS Many countries, have paid tribute to the deep concern of otn late Holy Father Pope John- XXIII for all men.

Particularly close to his heart wer< the peoples and lands of the Nea East, whose ancient traditions and beautiful rites Pope Johi wished to make known and loved by all.

I am very much worried about . . . our orphanage. Some of the children have coughs and fevers but I have to pack them all in the same room ... So 1 fear these infections will spread. My Sisters are wandering, begging for money, but they get nothing . . . $4,000 is needed for construction of a new orphanage, but the .convent is already in debt. And the people here are mostly day workei’s—masons, carpenters, coolies—drawing small salaries and struggling hard to earn their daily bread . . . Once again I come to the door of your kind heart . . . We do not know to whom else to appeal . . .

Coming one day from Mass, Edward met a pilgrim asking help. The King gave the stranger his ring . . . Twenty-four years later, in 1066, two English knights in the HOLY LAND were accosted by this same pilgrim, who told them the story of King Edward’s ring and asked them to return it to the monarch, with the prophecy that Edward would soon die and go to Heaven . . .
