In that brief span he had en ough suffering for a life for times as long. But within that same brief span Blessed Nunzio iachievedl a height of holiness his elders envied. The Ch urch is to beatify him Dec. 8. Born into poverty, he was or phaned before the age of six. He fell into the hands of a hear tless uncle who underfed him and overworked him, even when an injury made him a cripple in constant pain. From this in jury, which grew worse with the years. Blessed Nunzio was to die. AGAINST the mean figure of Ble.sed Nunzio’s uncle stands the Christian figure of a pro fessional soldier, an absolute stranger, who took the boy into ISTANBUL, Turkey (RNS)— Apostolos Andreas, the official weekly news organ hereof Ecu menical Patriarch Athenagor- as, supreme leader of Eastern Orthodoxy, published a letter from Pope Paul VI to the pa triarch.

Archbishop Emil A. Blanchet, rector of the Catholic Institute of Paris, cited *'experiences of recent years" at the Abbey of Duran, where ecumenical ex changes "have provided an op portunity to see what outsiders like and dislike about the Church." SIX OF THE priests at the monastery, the French prelate said, are converts to Catholl- his home and treated him as his son. It was this man, Col. Felice Wochinger of the First Grena diers of the Royal Guard in Naples, who brought the holi ness of his young protege to the attention of Church authorities. He later had the happiness of seeing the cause of beatification introduced in Rome. Blessed Nunzio was born on April 30, 1817, at the village of Pesco Sansonesco, northwest of Rome. His father was a shoe maker, and his mother was a wool spinner. BLESSED Nunzio was con firmed when he was three years old, but he was not to receive his first Communion until he was more than 15. Blessed Nunzio’s father died gratulated him upon his elec don as Pope. Pope Paul urg ed that the past be left "to the mercy of God" and stressed the unity of Christians. OBSERVERS OF the Ortho dox Church said that it mark ed the first time that an organ of the Patriarch had published, with a picture of the Pope, the text of a communlcadon from the Holy See, clsm. He noted that theologians from the Protestant faculty of the University of Tuebingen fre- quendy visit the abbey to par ticipate in retreats, 'X)ne of their major com plaints," said Archbishop Blanchet, "Is what we might call contorted and acrobadc theology — such as the vol ume, printed with ecclesiasti cal approbation, arguing for the Immaculate conception of St, Joseph and his assumption Into Heaven," 4 SUCH THEOLOGY," the 77- year-old prelate told the Fa thers of the Council, "does not reflect the doctrine of Sacred Scripture and Tradition. in 1820 at the age of 26. In 1822 Blessed Nunzio's mother remarried. Her second husband was from the town of Corvara, where the family went to live. Blessed Nunizo, now five, be gan going to a school taught- by the parish priest. But his mother died within a year of her second marriage. Blessed Nunizo's stepfather, who treated the child harshly and even gave him too little food, sent him back to Pesco Sansonesco where he lived with his mother's mother. For three years the child lived happily with his loving grandmother, but on her death he was sent to his maternal uncle, Domenico Luciano. THIS UNCLE, a blacksmith, is described as quick-tempe red, though not given to badha- Pope Paul's letter was writ ten in French. The full text follows: 'To His Holines s Patriarch Athenagoras 1, Archbishop of Constantinople and "Ecumenical Patriarch: "We have received with Joy the good wishes and congratu lations which you have sent us through His Excellency Metro politan Maxlmos of Sardia In reply to the letter written in our name by Augustin Cardinal Bea at the time of our elec tion, "We would like to tell you that the sentiments expressed in your letter have found in our heart a profound resonance. The charge which the Lord has con fided to us as chief of the Apos tles makes us concerned about everything which touches the union of Christians and about everything which can contribute to reestablishing a perfect har mony among them. "LEAVING THE past to the mercy of God, let us listen to the counsel of the Apostle: 'For getting all which is behind, 1 bend myself wholly to that which is before, endeavoring to grasp it as I have been possessed by it,' by the gift of the Gospel of salvation, by the gift of the same baptism, of the same priesthood, celebrating the same Eucharist, the single sac rifice of the single Lord of the Church. bits or irreligion. But the way he mistreated the boy speaks for itself: He fed him ill and clothed him ill. He took him from school and put him to work in the smithy. He swore at Blessed Nunzio and so terrori zed him that the child would tr emble and blanch at seeing him. He forced him, barefoot and po orly clothed to carry great lo ads of iron to farms high in the mountains through snow and rain, i He punished him by depri ving him of his meals, and put him to work in the smithy while weak from hunger. Blessed Nunzio never repro ached his uncle nor even spoke 111 of him to others. To please his uncle, he made his visits to church less frequent. But nothing tempered his uncle's harsh treatment. ONE DAY at the forge a hot coal fell on the boy's foot. Decay of the bone set it in, but the boy was forced to treat the injury himself. His uncle told him that oil and bandages were all die medical treatment he needed. Since the child could not work the bellows with his injured left foot, he was forced to put all his weight upon it while he wor ked die bellows with his right. In 1830, when it became evi dent that the injury was growing worse, the uncle sent the 13- year-old boy to a public hospi tal at Aqulla. But the In jury was too far gone, and af ter a few months the doctors sent him home as incurable. THE UNCLE treated him ev en worse than before, striking him to the ground and forcing him to beg for his food. The boy's plight did not go un noticed. A man named Galante went to Naples and Informed Blessed Nunzio's paternal un cle, Francesco Sulprizio. Francesco, and army corpo ral, sought outCol.JVochinger to help the boy. The Colonel, a bachelor who was then 60, was well known for his Christian life: He told his subordinates that no beggar was to be turned away from hs door. He visited prisoners In Naples jails and the sick in the city's hospitals, especially the Hospital for Incurables. COL. WOCHINGER took Blessed Nunzio to the home of a sister, but by dlls time the boy was suffering convulsions. Shortly after, the cononel took him to the Hospital for Incur ables and promised to visit him often.

They dislike undue Juri- diclsm which exhorts the legal element In the Church to a point where It becomes difficult to understand Its relationship to human liberty," "May this celebration ever provide us more deeply with 'the sentiments which are in Christ Jesus' and enable us to penetrate profoundly into the meaning and demands of Christ's prayer to His Father, That they be one, I in them and You in Me, so that they may be perfected in unity.' "LASTL Y," Archbishop Blanchet said, "they object to certain forms of piety which obscure true piety. This is particularly true In the field of Marian devotions, such as the Rosary of the Tears of Mary, 'Our presentation of the theology of Indulgences often seems to lose sight of the pru dent warning of the Council of Trent, ‘ON THE OTHER hand, they (non-Catholics) admire our lit urgy, the marvelous unity of the Church, the monastic life, the celibacy of the clergy, the sac ramental confession."

Miss Cathy Merrit of Gaines ville was reelected President of the Confraternity of Chris- tan Doctrine high school group at a dinner meeting held last Wednesday evening at the Elks Lodge. Miss Merrit was also chosen Sunday School Superintendent for Saint Michael's Church, Other officers elected were Louwana Wiezoreck as Vice President; Vicky Thompson, Secretary; and Paulette Law rence, Treasurer, The Congraternity group di rects the nursery during the time of church services and as sists the Sisters in Sunday School Instructions. Blessed Nunzio stayed in the hospital 22 months. While there, he attracted tha atten tion of the chaplains and phys icians for his selflessness, re signation and spirit-of prayer. It was in die hospital that he received his first Communion. The doctors finally told Col. Wochinger they could do no more for the boy. TWO DAYS before Blessed Nunzio's 17th birthday, CoL Wolchinger brought him to his own apartment. The boy slept in the Colonel's own room, where the colonel could give him immediate help when he ne eded it. The colonel also put a servant at Blessed Nunzio's disposal, with orders to look after him, He stayed in the col onel's home until his death— except for some time on the Isle of Ischia near the northwest entrance to the Bay of Naples. Inexorably, the illness took firmer hold on the youth. In November, 1835, he developed dropsy. The fame of his holi ness spread, and priests, Re ligious and lay people came to hia bedside to ask his prayers. ON MAY 5, 1836, Blessed Nunzio asked for the Last Sa craments. The chaplain of the palace, Don Vincenzo Gallo, was brought. After receiv ing the Sacraments, Blessed Nunzio asked for a crucifix. He clutched the crucifix and ga zed at a statue of the Blessed Virgin. His last words were: "See how beautiful she is." THE GEORGIA BULLETIN P.O.
