EAST AND WEST
WASHINGTON, D.C. (RNS)~
President Kennedy said here
that Pope John XXIII’s "con
cern for the human spirit trans
cended all the boundaries of be
lief or geography."
The first Roman Catholic
President of the U.S., in a
statement issued upon the pon
tiff’s death, said Pope John
"bequeathed humanity a new
legacy of purpose and courage
for the future."
"The highest work of any
man," Mr. Kennedy stated, "is
to protect and carry on the deep
est spiritual heritage of the
race.
"TO POPE John XXIII was
given the almost unique gift of
enriching and enlarging that
tradition. Armed with the hu
mility and calm which sur
rounded his earliest days, he
brought compassion and an un
derstanding drawn from wide
experience to the most divisive
problems of a tumultuous age.
"He was the chosen leaderof
world Catholicism: but his con
cern for the humsn spirit tran
scended ail the boundaries of
belief or geography. The ennob
ling precepts of his encyclical
and his actions drew on the ac
cumulated wisdom of ansneient
faith for guidance in the most
complex and troublesome pro
blems of the modern age."
Statements praising the
Pope’s character and his pro-
grarrreame from leaders on both
sides of the Iron Curtain.
Here are reactions from
major international figures:
UNITED Nations Secretary
General U Thant: "A most no
ble life has come to an end. . .
Pope John XXIII in his recent
and memorable encyclical 'Pa-
cem in Terris’ spoke for all
men and to all men in rest
ating his belief in the dignity
of the individual, in fundamen
tal human rights, in justice and
in an effective international or
der."
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrus
hchev: "We retain good memo
ries of John XXIII, whose frui
tful activities for the mainten
ance and strengthening of pe
ace earned him wide recogni
tion and won him the respect
of peace-loving peoples."
Queen Elizabeth: "On this sad
occasion Her Majesty and the
Duke of Edinburgh recall the
Impressive memories of their
meeting with His Holiness in
1961. Her Majesty has greatly
appreciated the kindly feelings
which His Holiness has always
exhibited toward herself and her
subjects."
UN Central Assembly pre
sident Zafrulla Khan: "His Hol
iness wil be universally mour
ned, not only as a great prince
of the Roman Catholic Church,
but also as a great humani
tarian."
Irish President Eamon De
Valera: "The Holy Father’s
wisdom and charity endeared
him to all our hearts."
French President Charles De
Gaulle: "The death of the Sov
ereign Pontiff, all of whose re
ign has been consecrated to
peace among men and to a rap
prochement among Christians,
is felt with grief by the people
of France."
West German President Hei
nrich Luebke: "Pope John has
taken his place in history am
ong the great popes in his
fight for peace.’*
Polish President Aleksander
Zawadski: The Pope was "a
man of great heart and an emi
nent spokesman of peaceful coe
xistence and of understanding
among nations."
ITALIAN President Antonio
Segnl: "In this hour of mour
ning the Pope's great teach
ings shine more than ever and
the memory of the work he did
for the good of the Church and
of the whole of humanity with
in the short span of a fsw ye
ars is rekindled."
POPE JOHN
Thousands File Past Bier
In St. Peter’s Basilica
World Leaders Mourn
Death Of Pope John
CARRYING his ruler’s baton until a new pope is elected, Benedetto Cardinal Alolsl Masella,
Chamberlain of the Holy Roman Church, arrives at the papal apartments to supervise the removal
of Pope John’s body. Cardinal Aiolsi Masella will act as administrator of Vatican affairs during
the Interval between popes.

cials of the Vatican court, in
cluding Msgr. Mario Nasalli
Rocca di Corneliano, Master of
the Apostolic Chambers. Behind
him were additional members
of the Noble Guard, clad in
black instead of the usual crim
son.
At last the Pope’s bier em
erged. It was fallowed by No
ble Guards and four sergeants
of the Swiss Guard carrying
broad swords with their points
turned toward the ground as a
sign of mourning, and six mace
bearers in black and violet vel
vet. The silver maces were al
so turned toward the ground to
symbolize the fact that the papal
throne is vacant,
AS TOE body was borne thro
ugh the vast square, thousands
knalt almost as if to receive
the blessing of the Pope who
four and a half years ago had
givan it so gladly and fraaly
at the time of his election and
coronation.
Immediately behind the body
was Paolo Cardinal Maralla,
Archpriest of the Vatican basi
lica, wearing the cappa magna,
an armine-trimmad silk cape.
Behind him were the more than
30 cardinals present in Rome.
These were dressed in mourn
ing purple Instead of the usual
cardinal red.
Then came the Grand Master
of the Knights of Malta, Angelo
de Mojana di Cologna, followed
by the Prince Assistants at the
Papal Throne, Prince Aspereno
Colonna and Prince Alessandro
Torlonia.
Lay and clerical officials of
the Vatican walked behind the
princes and then came the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps
accredited to the Holy See. The
procession was closed by ano
ther squad of Palatine Guard.
AT THE entrance to the basi
lica the canons of St. Peter’s
awaited the body. After it was
blessed with holy water, it was
carried into the church, which
was closed to the public.
From the square those watch
ing could see the brilliantly lit
interior through the open door
way. The main aisle of the ch
urch was flanked by the rows
of green-covered seats in which
the world’s bishops had sat whi
le attending the first session
of the ecumenical council.
As the great doors swung
shut, those outside could hear
the chanting and prayers inside
as they were carried over loud
speakers.
The first of the nine daily
Masses for a deceased Pope
were begun. At the same time
the public was admitted to the
basilica to pay their last re
spects to Pope John as he lay
in state.
In the absence of the body,
which will be entombed at a
private ceremony in the crypt
of St. Peter's at 6 p.m. today
the rest of the Masses were
offered in the presence of a
huge catafalque draped In vio
let and topped by a triple crown
characteristic of the papacy.
POPE JOHN will be burled
wearing a ring mountad with a
sixth-century coin bearing tha
figure of Christ. The Pope had
bought it In Istanbul, where ha
was stationed when he was Apo
stolic Delegate in Turkey.
On Junt 4, prior to the pro
cession, a restricted meeting
of cardinals was held to call
tha firat general cardinals’me
eting to begin preptratlons for
the conclave to elect a euc-
ceseor to Pope John. The firat
general meeting was held
yeeterday. The cardinals are
, meeting daily until the conclave
begins on June 19.
The restricted congregation
of June 4 conflated of Benedet
to Cardinal Aiolsi Masella Ch
amberlain of the Holy Roman
Church, and the heads of the
three orders of cardinals: Eu*.
gene Cardinal Tlsserant, Dean
of Cardinal-Bishops; Santiago
Cardinal Copello, Dean of Car
dinal-Priests; and Alfredo Car
dinal Ottavlani, Dean of Card
inal - Deacons. No details of
the meeting were released.
In the general assembly, the
cardinals meet to prepare for
the conclave. They have no aut
hority to make any decisions
except in the most pressing
matters confronting the Church, two bells tolled together, and
These decisions can be set as- finally each of the bells again
ide by the new pontiff. tolled nine times.
AMONG the first business of
the general assembly was to
make sure that the seal of the
fisherman's ring and the seal
of the apostolic chancery have
been broken. This ceremony is
held to make sure that no do
cument may be forged by the
seal of a pope who could no
longer deny its authenticity.
The fisherman’s ring is kept in
the apostolic chancery and is
never worn by the pope, altho
ugh he does wear an epieco-
pal ring which is often errone-
ouly called the fisherman's
ring.
Other business before the
general assembly is to order
obsequies for the dead pope and
to appoint committees of card
inals to prepare for the con
clave.
One committee provides for
material construction of the
conclave apartments, another
chooses who will be in the ser
vice at the conclave, and the
third examines the credentials
of those to be admitted into the
conclave. The general aisem-
bly also approves the budget
proposed for the expenses of
the conclave and authorizes is
suance of coins and stamps
commemorating the "sede va-
cante" period.
AS IS customary following a
pontiff’s death, the bronze doors
of the apostolic palace were
closed.
The official party charged
with performing the "recogni
tion of death" ceremony enter
ed the deceased Pope's room as
the bells of St. Peter’s tradi
tionally tolled the sad news
of his death.
Each bell in the great church
tolled nine times in turn. Then
As the doleful tones broke out
across the fading evening sky,
a hush fell over the milling
thousands in St. Peter’s squa
re. The only other sounds in
the warm night were from an
occasional portable radio, whi
spered remarks and the splash
ing of the waters in the flood
lit fountains.
As the news of the Pope’s
death spread, throngs of people
entered and left the square.
Television camera trucks, he
avy and hot with arclights, were
stationed by the obelisk to te
levise the moving scene to the
world.
MEANWHILE, the recogni
tion party had gathered out
side the Pope's room and im
mediately following the Pont
iff’s death had entered to per
form their sad duty. The party
was composed of Eugene Cardi
nal Tlsserant, Dean of the Col
lege of Cardinals; Cardinal Aio
lsi Masella; Msgr. Federico
Callorl di Vignali, Prefect of
the Apostolic Palaces; Msgr.
Nasalli Rocca; Archbishop En
rico Dants, Prefect of Papal
Masters of Ceremonies; Dr.
Mario Pontana, director of Va
tican health services; and tha
three physicians who had at
tended the Pope—Drs. Antonio
Gaebarrlni, Piero Mazzoni and
Pietro Vaidonl.
It was then announced that
there would be several depar
tures from traditional usage re
garding the Pope's lying insta
te. His body was not taken to '
the Sistine chapel as is cus
tomary, nor was it vested in
the usual white cassock and red
mozzetto (short cape). Instead
the body was dressed in full
pontifical vestments and lay in
state in the sitting room of the
papal apartments.
God Love You
MOST REVEREND FULTON J. SHEEN
The Catholic native population of Africa has doubled within
ten years, but the number of priests has become proportionately
less. For example: in West Africa, the increase of Catholics
within ten years was 141 per cent, but priests increased by only
85 per cent. In Central Africa, the number of Catholics was
up 100 per cent, while the increase of priests for the same
period was only 73 per cent. There is only one priest for every
z,400 Catholics in Rwanda and Burundi, one for every 2,200
in Nigeria and one for every 2,100 in Ghana, If space permmod,
even more startling statistics could be given for the shortage
of priests in Latin America.
Now, what can we do about it? We
know we are ordained for the Church
and only for canonical and juridical
reasons are assigned to a diocese or
parish: "My parish is the world."
Do we, as we ascend the altar, ever
think of the faithful of Brazil or the
faithless of China clinging to our chas
ubles? When we lift the Host, do we
not lift up Christ in His Mystical
Body, heavy with the gravitational drag
of souls who know not Its mystery of love?
You may not be able to go on the Missions, but you can, never
theless, make a small sacrifice every month to help educate
a seminarian. One bishop from Africa Informed us he could take
only 15 out of 300 applicants for the seminary because he lacked
the means. There is hardly a priest in any large diocese In
the United States who could not sacrifice $250 a year to prolong
his priesthood in another land.
Our priesthood is eternal once we receive it, as the soul is
immortal once breathed into a body. But mothers, after having
gone through the labor of birth, continue their motherhood in
their daughters. To us priests, silo, it is given to immortalize
our priesthood on earth by making acts of self-denial, until
we see a spiritual son standing before the altar with a host and
chalice in his hands,
We have Just returned from Rome, where there was a plinitive
pita for new aeminariei and prieits. What a beautiful opportunity
to make up for our Imperfection! by responding to this appeal.
Most of us have cara or televiiloni. In the Name of Christ Our
High Priest, let us also have a prleat whom we are supporting
in the Missions. Send whatever sacrifices you can to The Society
of St. Peter the Apostle for Native Clergy through The Society
for the Propagation of the Faith.
GOD LOVE YOU to A Mother for $5 "In thanksgiving for a
new slater for her three older brother*.to M.E.R, and Friend*
for $6 "In behalf of myself and several non-Cathoiic workers
In our office, Use it to aid all of God'* poor." . . .to R.V. for
$50 "I will be ordained thii month, and I want to offer this sacri
fice to beg God's blessings on my priesthood and to help educate
aemlnarians in the Mission*.*'., .to E.K, for $50 "I have received
so many favors from God. Now I want to start returning them by
helping The Society for the Propagation of the Faith."
We are not only asklngfor your sacrifices, but for your prayers.
Send your request and an offering of $2 for the WORLDMISSION
ROSARY, and we will send you these multicolored beads blessed
by Bishop Sheen, Each time you say the WORLDMISSION ROSARY
you will remember to put aside a daily sacrifice for the Holy
Father.
SHEEN COLUMN: Cut out this column, pin your sacrifice
to it and mail it to Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, National Director
of The Society for the Propagation of the Faith 366 Fifth Avenue,
New L N. Y. or your Diocesan Director.
