OFFERS HELP
Pope Paul Praises Press
For Vatican Coverage
VATICAN CITY (NC)—Pope
Paul VI praised the press for
its coverage of Pope John’s
death and the conclave, and told
newsmen he will do all he can
to help them cover and under
stand the coming second session
of the ecumenical council.
The Pope greeted members of
the press as *’colleagues and
friends” when he received about
1,000 newsmen in an audience
(June 29) in the Vatican’s Cle
mentine Hall.
RESPONDING to brief greet
ings of spokesmen for the fore
ign and Italian press associat
ions, Pope Paul spoke in It
alian, thanking them for their
services to the Church and ex
pressing his appreciation of the
problems of their tasks.
The Pope singled out two re
cent events—the death of Pope
John and the conclave— to
compliment the journalists for
a report to the world “which
was on the whole so dignified
and reverent.”
He said the press and other
communications media in re-

porting the death of Pope John
“moved the world and trans
formed the sad and inexorable
event into a chorus of senti
ments and voices which reveal
ed in its full measure of sing
ular greatness the human and
evangelical goodness of the dy
ing Pope.”
Then he asked: “Should We
attenuate the expression of Our
gratitude because of the many
flights of fancy, the inaccura
cies and untimely comments
which may have been seen in
the reports and interpretations
of this event, too pertinent to
Our person and too much con
trolled by public opinion?
“WE WILL be indulgent to
ward those arbiters of jurna-
lism—alas too common-fixing
Our attention instead on the gen
eral value of your informat
ion services. Having seen that
it is generally considerate and
benevolent toward the Holy See,
We give it willingly the re
ward of Our public recognition
and Our gratitude.”
Pope Paul observed that there
is a comparison between "the
relations, existing or possible,
of Our apostolic ministry and
your profession as journal
ists.” He added that he would
not go into the subject in this
discourse, seeming to promise
a further development of the
matter at a later time.
Then he recalled that his fat
her, Giorgio Montini, was a
journalist and that this made
him feel a special affinity to
those in the audience. He said:
“IT IS true that Our father
was a journalist of another time,
and for many years editor of
a modest but courageous pro
vincial daily. But, were We ask
ed to say but what professional
consciousness he was animated
and by what moral virtures he
was sustained, We believe that,
without being swayed by affect
ion, We could trace the pro
file of a person who considered
the press as a splendid and
courageous mission in the ser
vice of truth, democracy and
progress, in a word, in the ser
vice of the public welfare.
“We refer to this fact, not
simply to give praise to that
most worthy man so very dear
to Us, but to tell you, gentle
men of the press, how predis
posed is Our mind to sympathy,
esteem and trust for what you
are and for what you do. We
can almost say that Our family
education makes Us one of you.
It makes you Our colleagues
and friends.”

Fifty-five years before the
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth

American Revolution, St. Aug

Florida shore. Next year will
mark the 400th anniversary of
this first of American cities.
The leader of the exepedition
which established St. Augustine
was Spanish Admiral Pedro
Menendez de Aviles. Four pri

and one of them, Father Fra

Nuns and priests participating in three-month mission among the population of the rural
districts of Chile become used to all kinds of transportation. At the Mission de Santiago

LEISURELY TOURIST
Pope Paul Is Familiar
With Much Of The U.S.
ndez) singing the hymn 'Te
Deum Laudamus.’The Admiral,
followed by all who accompanied
him, marched up to the Cross,
knelt and kissed it. A large
number of Indians watched these
proceedings and Imitated all
they saw done.”
Father Lopez then offered a
Mass of Thanksgiving. It was
the first parish Mass and the
first community act of Christ
ian religion in the United States.
After the Mass was over the ex
plorers set to work building an
American settlement.
In quick order Menendez and
his men made friends with the
Indians, moved into the “great
House” of the cacique, or vill
age, built a moated fortificat
ion, and mounted twenty-four
brass cannon.
THEY called the settlement
St. Augustine because they had
first sighted land at Cape Can
averal on the feast day of that
saint. They called the site of
their landing Nombre de Dios-
Name of God - because they had
claimed the land in God’s name.
From that time on §t. Augus
tine and Nombre de Dios were
regularly occupied. The settle
ment became a town, then a city.
From Nombre de Dios A
mission was founded, from
which hundreds of priests and
laymen went out to Christianize
the continent. Both city and
mission stand today as the cra
dle of American Christian civi
lization.
Today, on the old mission
grounds a rustic altar com
memorates that firstMass. The
pioneer Father Lopez is mem
orialized in an heroic statue
executed by the Yugoslav scul
ptor, Ivan Mestrovic.
Marist Guild
Fetes Priests
The successful culmination of
any effort is always a joy and
sometimes the occasion for ce
lebration. The Marist Seminary
Guild felt that the recent Or
dination of Fr. Walter Peacock
S. M. and Fr. Patrick Malli-
nson, S.M., both of Atlanta, was
an occasion to celebrate. They
were honored guests at a party
and cook out at the home of
Mr. b MS. A. J. Schaefle
last week.
The party was graced by the
presence of Fr. Vincent P.
Brennan, S.M., Fr. James Har
nett, S. M., and Fr. C. J. Big-
gers,. S. M. The weather man
was cooperative, with-holding
showers the entire evening.
Fr. Peacock and his guitar,
provided a musical treat.
Fr. Mallinson and Fr. Pea
cock are visiting with their fam

new assignments.
The United States is familiar
territory to His Holiness Pope
Paul VI He was a leisurely
tourist here in 1951 and return
ed in 1960 for a quick trip to
several major cities.
The new Pope’s first trip to
North America was, by his own
description, a holiday tour. He
told newsmen then that it was
the fulfillment of a long-stand
ing wish to see the United States
and Canada.
IN THREE weeks, then-Msgr.
Giovanni Battista Montini, Sub
stitute Papal Secretary of State,
covered several thousand
miles, much of it by automobile.
He was here August 20 to Sep
tember 9.
He flew from London to Mon
treal. After four days in Can
ada, he entered the United States
through Niagara Falls, N. Y.,
and visited Buffalo, Washington,
St. Louis, Denver, Chicago,
Pittsburgh, New York and many
points in between these major
cities.
When he came back in June,
1960, as the Cardinal-Archbis
hop of Milan, he received an
honorary doctorate of laws de
gree from the University of No
tre Dame in the same ceremony
at which then-President Eisen
hower was honored by the insti
tution.
The citation at Notre Dame
praised him as “the Archbishop
of the Working Man,” noting
that he earned this title be
cause of "inexhaustible aposto
lic vigor to the strengthening of
the Christian world.”
ON THAT trip, the new Pope
also visited New York, Chica
go, Boston, Philadelphia and
Washington. He was accompan
ied by Frank Folsom, a promi
nent Catholic layman who is
chairman of the executive board
of the board of directors of RCA.
The only other public cere
mony in which the Pope parti
cipated in 1960 was the dedi
cation in Boston of a huge sta
tue of “Madonna, Queen of the
Universe” at the Don Orione
Shrine.
Earlier, on March 30, 1959,
he had sent to Richard Cardi
nal Cushing, Archbishop of Bos
ton, a relic of the True Cross.
The relic was placed inside the
cross he helped dedicate in
1960.
On his first trip, the new
Pope attracted little attention.
HE SHOWED a great appetite
to see North America, acting
like a typical tourist, stopping
his car to get out and see the
sights, eating at roadside res
taurants and mingling quietly
with crowds of Canadians aid
Americans.
While in Canada, he visited
the Shrines of Ste. Anne and
Cap de la Madeleine, Ottawa,
Kingston and Toronto. One of
his stops was at a jamboree
of 3,000 Boy Scouts at Van-
dreuil near Quebec.
IN OTTAWA, he lunched with
then-Prime Minister Louis St.
Laurent. He visited a host of
Catholic prelates and institu
tions before beginning his U. S.
trip on August 24.
He was greeted at the border
by the late Bishop John F. O'
Hara, C.S.C., of Buffalo who
later became the Cardinal-Ar
chbishop of Philadelphia.

lar tourist spots such as Wall
Street and the Empire State
