STORM OF PROTEST
Jackie Kennedy Onassis
Takes Holy Communion
ARLINGTON, Va. (NC) -
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’
reception of Communion at a
memorial Mass on the slopes
of Arlington National
Cemetery unleashed a torrent
of venom and hatred from
scores of Catholics and
ex-Catholics around the
nation.
“All the ugliness you can
imagine comes out in people
in a situation like this,” said
Fr. Albert F. Pereira, the
pastor who offered the Mass
and whose phone began
ringing day and night. “I
never imagined that people
could be so hateful. Some of
them screamed and used
abusive language, accusing me
of sacrilege and calling her a
bastard.”
The pastor and three
assistants distributed
Communion. Jacqueline
Onassis walked forward and
was among those who
received.
Network television news
that evening included film
footage of the event. It was
seen again on NBC’s “Today
Show” the next morning.
Telephones began ringing at
Fr. Pereira’s rectory in
McLean and at chancery and
Catholic newspaper offices in
many distant places.
“What people don’t seem
to realize,” said Fr. Pereira,
“is that she walked up to the
priest. He didn’t go to her.
No priest would under the
circumstances pass her up,
and not give her
Communion.”
“Fr. Setter has achieved a mature
position as a professional sculptor. His
work is individualistic. In the direction
that he’s going, I think one can expect
that his most successful pieces are yet to
come” (Dr. John Kehoe, professor of
sculpture at the University of Georgia).

Priest-Sculptor
“Pope John XXIII - every
Sunday I would go to church in
Venice and he would lead the
procession after the service was
over. I could get as close to him as
I now am to that sculpture of
him. Fr. Setter has seized the
quality of the man: even though
he has treated it in a semi-abstract
way. The old man is there. The
old pope is there in all the dignity
of his position" (Charles Rogers
Bordley, art historian).

lacked vitality so he began to
create three dimensional
forms in the same way as he
did drawings. He worked
directly with plaster or wax
without models and without
a definite form in mind.
Eventually he achieved
mastery of this form, as he
had with drawing.
Professor William J
Thompson, a highly
acclaimed sculptor in his own
right, had this to say; “Henry
Setter is a mature thoughtful
artist. He is sensitive to the
times we live in and has a
great capacity for registering
the deeper feelings of our
generation.”
Father Setter has
completed several major
works; a natural stone mosaic
50 feet high behind the altar
of repose at the Marianist
Order seminary in Freiburg,
Switzerland, a six-and-one-
half- ton stone altar at the
Ecumenical Center in
Dayton, Ohio, a stone statue
of Pope John, and a
tabernacle in the Marianist
provincialate chapel.
With the completion of his
two year course of study at
the University of Georgia, he
will receive a Master of Fine
Arts degree. Fr. Setter is
moving to Boston in August.
There he will be director of
studies for the Marianists
studying theology at Boston
Theological Institute. He will
also be spiritual advisor for
the students.
He is planning to spend as
much time as possible
working at sculpture and
drawing.
“I think that this piece of sculpture has
an artistic spiritual quality. The Mother
seems to be presenting her Son to the
world” (Sr. Ellen Nolan, director of
religious education at St. Joseph’s
Church in Athens).

MRS. ONASSIS AT PRESIDENT’S KENNEDY’S
GRAVESIDE. Arlington, Va. After attending a memorial
graveside Mass for the late Sen. Robert Kennedy in Arlington
National Cemetery (6/6) Jacqueline Onassis paid a visit to the
adjoining grave of her former husband, the late John F.
Kennedy, where she knelt briefly.
A spokesman at the
diocesan chancery in
Richmond said he had
handled only half a dozen
calls himself, all of them long
distance. He said the callers
he talked with indicated that
they were divorced, and one
woman complained in tears
that her own marital situation
had deprived her of the
sacraments for years.
BY ROBERT McALISTER
The first impression you
get when meeting Fr. Henry
Setter is the force of his
personality. He is a man who
cares about the world and
meets it head on. “Nobody
ever guesses that I’m an artist.
A football player maybe,
probably a guard for the
Chicago Bears, but never an
artist. Look at these hands.”
Certainly the hands don’t
look like those of an artist;
the fingers are short, the
palms calloused, the knuckles
large. They might be the
hands of a blacksmith or a
machinist.
Fr. Setter’s work has been
shown at recent exhibits in
Athens where he is a student
at the University of Georgia.
A one-man-show at the
Catholic Center drew an
audience of almost 200. The
general theme of the exhibit
was evolution.
Fr. Setter has taken much
of his inspiration from Pierre
Teilhard de Chardin. Teilhard
was a Jesuit priest and
world-renowned
paleontologist. He developed
a theory of evolution
CINCINNATI (NC) — Archbishop Paul F. Leibold
of Cincinnati, a leader in encouraging lay
participation in Church activities, died here June 1 at
the age of 57.
Archbishop Leibold suffered a stroke at his home
at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Norwood and was
taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in the early
morning. He died later in the day without regaining
consciousness.
radically different from that
of Darwin. Evolution was not
random. Evolution was
growth and a striving for
perfection that was
represented by the Omega
point - the ultimate end.
Teilhard argued that this
Omega point was Christ.
Fr. Setter entered the
Marianist order in 1949. A
native of Cincinnati, he
taught for five years, was
ordained and went on to
study in Europe. Along the
way he continued his interest
in art. “I love to draw. Just to
put pen to paper and let the
forms develop. I’ve even
developed a rather careful
handwriting.”
The sculpture has taken a
little longer. Drawing is
two-dimensional; sculpture
adds the dimension of depth.
At first he used drawings as
blueprints for the sculpture.
He sensed that the pieces

Alter, and directed every
parish to have an active parish
council.
As chairman of the
Catholic Conference of Ohio,
Archbishop Leibold was
active in the drive for state
aid for nonpublic schools and
emphasized the need to
maintain the Catholic school
system.
In one of his last public
statements, Archbishop
Leibold criticized Leonard
Bernstein’s “Mass,” which
was performed at a music
festival here.
Archbishop Leibold was
auxiliary bishop of Cincinnati
from 1958 until 1965, when
he became Bishop of
Evansville, Ind. He returned
to Cincinnati as ordinary in
1969.
Although he headed the
Cincinnati archdiocese for
less than three years,
Archbishop Leibold initiated
a variety of renewal
programs, highlighted by the
sixth synod in the 151-year
history of the archdiocese.

In the furor and confusion
surrounding the episode, it
was difficult to find any
Church official or expert able
to say that Mrs. Onassis either
should have or should not
have taken Communion.
Many persons believe she has
become Greek Orthodox, but
Orthodox spokesmen say that
is not so. For them, she
remains a Catholic who has
entered into a valid mixed
marriage, although there may
be what in Catholicism is
called a defect in form.
Said one of American
Catholicism’s top ecumenical
experts when asked by NC
News what rules apply:
“The problem here is
whether the Catholic Church
is going to second-judge the
Orthodox Church. Is it the
job of the Catholic Church to
go in and tell the Orthodox
that their regulations and
disciplines are not correct?”
“The problem here is
whether Aristotle Onassis was
free to marry,” he explained.
“That question has not been
fully settled; the Orthodox
are satisfied that they have
settled it, but the Catholic
Church has different norms
and thus the question is not
cottier! in its mind ”
