CHURCH LEADERS SPEAK
‘Affluent’ Australia Told
To Join War On Poverty
CANBERRA, Australia
(RNS) — Church leaders in
Australia’s capital city have
declared that the country’s
great affluence imposes a duty
to help the hungry people of
the world.
A joint statement of Chris
tian leaders in support of the
Freedom From Hunger Cam
paign stressed that “the
greatest single problem of our
age is hunger” and that “as
spiritual leaders in our com
munity, we feel it our duty
to give our wholehearted sup
port to this campaign.”
OVER ANIMALS
The letter was signed by
Anglican Bishop Kenneth J.
Clements of Cannberra-Goul-
burn; Catholic Archbishop
Eris O’Brien of Canberra and
Goulburn; the Rev. F. Wood-
well, president of the Can
berra Council of Churches;
the Rev. R. Reid, chairman
of the Canberra Inter-Church
Committee. It said that “in
this matter there has been
a great awakening of con
science among the peoples
of the world, and not least
among Christian peoples.
“Social justice surely de
mands that Australia and the
other highly developed and
economically advanced peo
ples of the world should not
remain indifferent to those
who lack even the elemen
tary rights of the human per
son.”
“We in Australia,” it con
tinued, “have been wonder
fully blessed by God with an
abundance of good things in
comparison wit h most of our
neighbors; but this imposes on
us the duty of being helpful
to those who are at this time
less favored.
“For those of us who live
in Australia, the world still
presents a face of some calm
and orderliness. Our life is
in sharp contrast to the un
rest, homelessness, hunger
and anguish which is almost
endemic in Southern Asia and
much of Africa.”
Canadian Nuns
Leave Church
VICTORIA, B.C. (RNS) -
Mother Cecilia Mary, a 76-
year -old Benedictine nun who
for six months defied her su
periors in continuing to ope
rate her animal shelter, said
here she has left the Roman
Catholic Church and joined
the Old Catholic Church.
Also breaking with the Ca
tholic Church, the nun said,
were six other Sisters who
help her run the shelter, lar
gest animal welfare center ,
in the British Columbia ca
pital.
In announcing her action,
Mother Cecilia said, “Now
our vows are safe. We have
not changed our religions. We
are still Catholics.”
However, Msgr. Michael
O’Connell, chancellor of the
Victoria Catholic diocese,
said that Old catholics “are
not considered part of the Ro
man Catholic Church; there
is no question about that.”
The Old Catholic Churches
originated in 1870 when groups
of Roman Catholics in various
central European countries
separated from Rome in pro
test against definition of the
dogma of papal infallibility by
the First Vatican Council.
For the last six months, of
ficials of the Victoria dio
cese, headed by Bishop Remi
de Roo, have tried in vain to
get Mother Cecilia to close
the annimal shelter on the
grounds that its operation was
not a proper activity for nuns
who should be following their
assigned apostolates of help
ing the aged and infirm.
Mother Cecilia, however,
has maintained that the Church
“has no authority to close
the shelter .... they don’t own
the land and I will not give
it up.” The shelter is self-
supporting and is owned le
gally by the nun in her own
name.

According to the capital’s
Christian leaders, “the pre
sent world situation has creat
ed what is called the revo
lution of rising expectations,”
and “people all over the world
want for themselves the same
things that they know so many
others have.
“There ‘social revolution
aries’ intend that their fa
milies shall live a decent
life; that they shall have jobs
that give them survival and
dignity. They intend that their
children shall be taught to
read and write, that the hun
gry shall be fed and the sick
treated.
“These comparisons now
made, these just desires un
leashed, can never again be
stifled. The people of the de
veloping nations are on the
march. Certainly we, as
Christians, must be beside
these people in their march
for freedom from fear, want,
disease, ignorance and hun
ger.”

BIG DAY FOR JOHNNY — Johnny Nardoza, 11, a student at St. Nicholas of

1849 INCIDENT RECALLED
Pope Paul Wasn’t First
Pope On U.S. Territory
NEWTON, Mass. (RNS)—
Newsmen covering the visit
of Pope Paul VI — particu
larly those whose copy is
edited by hard-headed purists
--would do well to say that the
visit is the first by a reign
ing pontiff on “U. S. soil,”
not the first on “U. S. ter
ritory.”
The first is correct—the
second, technically, isn’t. Ac
cording to a Jesuit at Boston
College, Pope Pius IX was the
first reigning pontiff to step
on “American territory,” al
though that territory existed
only temporarily in the har
bor of Naples.
In 1849 Pius IX was a visitor
aboard one of the most famous
warships in American his
tory— The Constitution, more
widely known and loved as Old
Ironsides.
To document his point,
Father Francis Sweeney,S.J.,
refers one to a history of
Old Ironsides written by the
late Capt. Thomas P. Horgan
U. S. N.R., and to a memento
encased in glass at the Boston
Naval Shipyard.
The case, associated with
the history of Old Ironsides,
has this identifying card:
“Aug. 2, 1849. At Gaeta,
Italy, Pius IX visited (the
ship), with Ferdinand II,
King of the Two Sicilies. Im
mediately after the visit, we
received from the Pope a num
ber of Rosaries to be distri
buted on board.”
The case contains one of
the brown-beaded rosaries
sent to the crew of Old Iron
sides.
In his account, Capt, Hor
gan noted that in December
1848 the Constitution set out
on a cruise which took her to
the Mediterranean, where she
c rusied along the Italian coast.
At that time the Pope had fled
from Rome during a troubled
period in state-Vatican rela
tions. He was sheltered by the
King of Naples.
The ship’s captain, Capt.
Gwynn, extended an invitation
to the King of Naples and
Pius IX to visit the Consti
tution, then lying in the Bay
of Naples.
According to Capt. Horgan’s
report, the invitation was ac
cepted and Pope and Kingwere
taken to the Constitution in a
small boat manned by captains
of several warships in the har
bor. Capt. Horgan wrote:
“This is the first and only
known instance of a sovereign
pontiff being on U. S. terri
tory, for such was the deck
of Old Ironsides.”

sive government measures.

SUPREME KNIGHT
J. W. McDEVITT
The theme of Dr. McDe
vitt’s Columbus Day address
is “Christopher Columbus,
Man of the Ages”. It will
be heard over a wide-spread
chain of radio stations in all
the countries where the
Knights of Columbus have
Councils - the United States,
Canada, Puerto Rico and the
Phillippines.
The struggle in the south
ern Sudan has been caused by
the Khartoum government’s
determination to enforce an
Arabic culture on the predom
inantly Negro south. Parts
of the south have been in re
bellion for several years. The
Sudanese government has
blamed the revolt on Chris
tian missionaries.
At the beginning of the an
ti-Church measure late in 1963
about 230 priests were in the
southern Sudan, and another
250 Brothers and Sisters. Ex
pulsion of the missionaries
reduced the total to about 30
Sudanese priests and one
bishop.
According to Fides, the run
down of priests in the five
Church jurisdictions of the
south is now as follows:
In the vicariate apostolic of
Rumbek, there are no priests
and about 30,000 Catholics;
the 10,000 Catholics in the pre
fecture apostolic of Malakal
have two priests; the vica
riate apostolic of Wau, with
50,000 Catholics, is served
by Bishop Irenaeus Dud and
four priests; the prefecture
apostolic of Mopoi, with 80,
000 Catholics, has three
priests; and, finaUy, the vi
cariate apostolic of Juba, hav
ing 250,000 Catholics, has only
one priest.
BOY MEETS POPE
Oct. 4 - A Day
To Remember
NEW YORK (RNS) — For
11-year-old Johnny Nardoza of
Jamaica, Queens — an ave
rage baseball-loving Ameri
can younster -- Oct. 4, became
a day he would never forget.
In advance of the date, there
was an outside chance that the
Dodgers and Giants would be
in a playoff for the National
League pennant. And excite
ment about the World Series
with the Minnesota Twins
would be building.
These thoughts were on
Johnny’s mind early last week
but they were secondary to the
real event on Oct. 4. This was
to be the visit of Pope Paul VI
and, particularly, the Mass for
Peace the pontiff would hold
in Yankee Stadium.
Johnny had been to the sta
dium once before, to watch the
Yankees get beat by the De
troit Tigers. This time he
would be near home plate him
self -- one of 12 youngsters
from six continents who were
chosen to receive Communion
from the Holy Father.
Johnny seemed unable to
tell the difference between
baseball and cricket as he
talked about his name being
the one pulled from a hat at
St. Nicholas of Tolentine
School in Jamaica.
An ultimate high hope of
his life previously, he said,
had been meeting Mickey Man
tle.
“I only saw Mickey on te
levision, the same way I saw
the Pope last year when he
went to India,” Johnny said.
“But meeting Mickey doesn’t
really matter any more. I’m
going to meet the Pope, and
that’s important.”
Johnny’s name was pulled
out of a hat and he became,
the boy chosen to represent
all of North America at the
Stadium Mass.
