BURLINGTON, Vt. (NC) —
Bishop Robert F. Joyce of Bur
lington, just returned from the
Vatican council, gave his people
some personal insights gained
from the council’s third ses
sion.
“Many spiritual writers have
suggested that the world is so
far alienated from God and
spiritual things that contact with
it and living in it is extremely
dangerous for the Christian,”
Bishop Joyce said in an inter
view with the Vermont Catholic
Tribune.
“But the feeling of the coun
cil,” he continued, “is not that
there are no dangers, but that
Christ found the world good e-
nough and important enough to
live in and establish His Church
here, and that He expects us to
be a leaven in the world. We
can’t expect to sanctify, elevate
and supernaturalize the world if
we ignore it, treat it with con
tempt and live entirely apart.”
The bishop said he did no
think, as a magazine had sug
gested, that Pope Paul refute
collegiality by postponing a vot
on the religious liberty chapte
of the schefna, “The Church i
the Modern World.”
t
“The Pope did not refute co
legiality in this; in deference t
the council’s rules of order, h
postponed the vote at the rt
quest of over a hundred bishop
so they could take more tim
to consider the chapter. H
would have been acting like .
monarch to destroy the coun
cil’s legislative process by in
tervening, instead of leaving u.
to our own devices as he ha:
done constantly.”
In reference to the Holy Fa
ther’s “Mother of the Church”
title which he bestowed on the
Virgin Mary to the surprise of
many bishops and observers.
Bishop Joyce said that if the
Pope “out of personal devo
tion” gives Mary a new title,
“it’s hardly necessary for the
whole council to go on record in
a detail of devotions and there
by overemphasize it.”
“It seems likely,” Bishop
Joyce said, “that councils will
take place much more frequent
ly in the future . .. The only
thing that could postpone an
other session until 1966 would
be if the commissions needed
more time.”
Photographer’s
Widow Receives
Gift of $5,000
BOMBAY (NC) — The widow
of the young Indian photograph
er who was killed accidentally
while filming the arrival of
Pope Paul VI has been given a
gift of $5,000 by the Pope, along
with expressions of his sym
pathy.
Shyam Khalinjar, 25, a pho
tographer for Asia Magazine,
died from injuries suffered
when his head struck an arch
way while riding in a truck a-
head of the Pope (Dec. 2). Two
other cameramen were thrown
from their perch and landed in
the truck. Khalinjar was hurled
to the pavement. He died later
in the hospital.
When the Pope heard of Kha
linjar’s death, he immediately
ordered that $5,000 be given to
the photographer’s widow for
the education of her two-months-
old child. He also sent EUgene
Cardinal Tisserant, dean of the
College of Cardinals, and Fa
ther Edward Heston, C.S.C., to
express his sympathy to the
widow. Father Heston, an A-
merican who is a member of
the ecumenical council’s press
office, barred photographers
from his visit to avoid any pos
sible savor of a publicity stunt.
Father Jose Descalzo of La
Gaceta d e 1 Norte of Bilbao,
Spain, was among the photog
raphers on the truck when the
accident happened. He said the
three men were standing atop
an iron framework on which a
fabric cover can be stretched.
The Pope’s car was about 200
yards away. Suddenly an or
der was given to speed up the
truck.
“They didn’t see the welcome
arch ahead,” Father Descalzo
said. “There was a sound like
falling trees and: one of the
photographers fell into my
arms, unconscious and bleed
ing. I thought he would die and
I gave him conditional absolu
tion immediately. I also gave
conditional absolution to the two
others—the Indian who fell into
the truck and the one who fell
to the street and died,”
Albany PCCW
The December meeting of St.
Teresa’s PCCW, Albany, was
preceeded by Mass and lunch.
Guest speaker was Fr. Hil
lary Neal, a Dominican priest
from Boston. Fr. Hillary told of
his, vocation to the priesthood
and of the lighter side of a
Dominican’s missionary’s 1 if e.
He then spoke of the Novena
he was giving at St. Teresa’s
on the scripture.
Fr. Le Frois asked for com
ments on the new Liturgy. All
of the ladies expressing their
opinion were in favor of the
changes.

••GIRL WITH THE GREEN EYES—UA—Frankness in treatment

••LILITH—Col.—This film, set in a mental institution, deals with

Airplane Scene Of History’s
First Papal Press Conference
ENROUTE TO INDIA WITH
POPE PAUL (NC)—Pope Paul
VI conducted the first papal
press conference in history as
well as what might be called,
the first airborne papal audi
ence during his, flight from
Rome to Bombay.
The Pope left Rome’s Fiumi-
cino airport on Dec. 2 in a pre
dawn drizzle at 4:46 — 16 mi
nutes later than scheduled.
When he left only about 25 per
sons were gathered in St. Pe
ter’s Square.
He told a small crowd of
some 30 church and govern
ment officials at the airport
that “our journey has no other
purpose than that of a religious
testimony to Christ the Lord . . .
on the occasion of the Interna
tional Eucharistic C on g r e s s,
which sees believing throngs
from the whole world gather
worshipping in Bombay.” He
added that his trip was one of
“peace and love, designed to
unite all peoples in closer links
of mutual understanding and
friendship.”
As he boarded the Air India
jetliner, the Pontiff was greeted
by Capt. Shiro Dkar and by a
hostess dressed in a brown and
green sari. She gave the tradi
tional Indian welcome, bowing
with folded hands. Pope Paul
offered his hand to the girl,
who kissed it.
After takeoff, the Pope at
first rested in the private com
partment that had been prepar
ed for him.
During the flight messages
were sent to the heads of state
of the countries over which the
plane flew, including Greece,
Cyprus, Syria, Jordan, Saudi
Arabia and smaller Arab states,
Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and India.
Shortly before the plane land
ed in Beirut, Lebanon, for re
fueling, Pope Paul left the com
partment and went to the
plane’s tourist section to visit
26 newsmen and 30 regular
tourist passengers. His unex
pected appearance caused gen
eral excitement and the aisles
became so crowded he had to
return to the first-class section
where 19 members of his party
had seats.
After the Beirut stopover, the
Pope agafci went to the tourist
section. This time the passen
gers stayed in their seats and
he walked among them, talking
to- each journalist and to sever
al other passengers. The others
were on the plane because of
a last-minute change. Air India
had originally announced that
all tourist seats would be filled
by some 80 newsmen.
Among the passengers was
Mayor Favaretto Fisca of Ven
ice, to whom the Pontiff said:
“I’m glad someone from Venice
is coming to Bombay. Venice
has special links with India
thanks to Marco Polo.”
To a journalist from aa Ita
lian communist paper he said:
“We have many fine dialogues
ahead of us.”
During the press conference,
the Pope was asked: “What do
you expect from this voyage?”
“I hope to meet as many of
the faithful as possible, as well
as other men of good will,” he
answered. “I hope the voyage
will contribute to peace and
will become testimony of good
will.”
“Are you tired?” he was ask
ed. “Only a little,” he replied.
Another reporter asked him
what he thought of his 1 welcome
at the Beirut airport, where he
was greeted by an enthusiastic
throng.
“I knew the Lebanese people
were cordial,” the Pope said,
“but the welcome surpassed all
expectations.”
The Pontiff told the Associat
ed Press correspondent that he
was aware of that agency’s
work in keeping world public
opinion informed and said:
“Such works arer well worthy
of blessing.”
After speaking to the passen
gers and newsmen, the Pope
then explored other compart
ments of the aircraft. As he en
tered the radio cabin, a mes
sage of greeting was being re
ceived from Sheikh Isa bin Sul-
man al Khalifa, the ruler of
Bahrein,
Papal aides distributed com-
memorative medals of the flight
to passengers.
NEW ORLEANS (NC)—A pas
tor-observer cited the countless
“intangible results” accrued
from the sessions of the Second
Vatican Council.
Msgr. Gerard L. Frey, arch
diocesan director of the Con
fraternity of Christian Doctrine,
an observer at the council’s
third session, in an interview
here said the “drawing together
of the bishops” made them con
scious of the needs of countries
other than their own.
“One mission bishop said they
now realize they are no longer
alone in their, work for the
Church in underprivileged areas
of the world,” the monsignor
said. “They realize that the oth
er bishops now understand their
problems and are with them.”
The veteran pastor of St.
Francis de Sales church in Hou
ma, La., was one of four pas
tors from the U.S. invited among
45 pastor-observers at the coun
cil from various parts of the
world.
Even bishops from the same
country have been drawn closer
together through the council,
Msgr. Frey said. The council
made bishops realize that their
interests are not restricted to
their own dioceses — that they
have a “broader role in the ad
ministration and interests of the
Church as a whole,” he added.
These things are “very impor
tant,” he said, though “intangi-
be’’ in comparison with the con
crete results of the schema ap
proved by the council Fathers.
“I think another effect,” he
added, “is the council has made
the world conscious of the fact
that the Church is not as
tionary as it was accused o^^V
ing in the past, and that it is
conscious of the vital role it
has to play in modern times.”
The U.S. bishops were active
and made outstanding contribu-.
tions in council procedings, the
monsignor said.
The invitation of the priest-ob
servers to the council was a
“recognition of the important
role” pastors play in the Church,
he declared.
Pastor-observers were asked
for their views on the schema
on the priesthood which was
sent back to the commission for
revisions, he said. Pastor - ob
servers were asked to send their
recommendations on the sche
ma to the commission by the
end of January, he added.
Msgr. Frey said a number of
bishops urged that more pastors
be invited: to participate in disr ^
cussions at the next session, '4i
such as the schema on the
Church in the modern world.
They feel, he said, that the pas
tor can make a practical con
tribution because of his daily
contact on the parish level.
Catholic University^
Praised By Pontiff
WASHINGTON (NC) — Pope
Paul VI said the Catholic Uni
versity of America here during
the 75 years of its existence has
merited “in very truth the
name Pontifical.”
The message from the Pope
was read at a Solemn Pontifical
Mass in the National Shrine of
the Immaculate Conce p t i o n
close by the university, during
a ceremony closing the 75th an
niversary celebration of the uni
versity.
Pope Paul said that during its
75 years, the university “has
increased and grown strong
both in its virtues and in the
splendor of the fame.”
“The rich fruit that in vari
ous and widely sundered fields
has been brought forth up to
now not only redounds as it
were to the glory of a tree
planted three score and 15
years ago, but promises a great
er yield for the future, a yield
that we earnestly desire may
be increasingly abundant,” the
Pope said in his message ad
dressed to Archbishop O’Boyle.
Times and styles change,
hut our Christmas wishes
to you are timeless.
