incidents. I probably won’t
and I’m not sure that they are
really worthy of that much
mention. It’s hard to respond
to that question. I probably
need more time to think
about it and think I’ll pass on
that question.
! GB: WHAT DO YOU DO
ON YOUR DAYS OFF AND
WHAT HOBBIES OR
OUTSIDE INTERESTS DO
YOU HAVE?
Archbishop: The trouble
with the answer to that
question is that it sounds
pompous. Since I came to
Atlanta, I don’t have regular
days off. I occassionally take
some time off to play golf,
which I enjoy very much and
play very poorly. That’s
really my only recreation and
I do that maybe four or five
times a year. I don’t generally
take a day off unless someone
Comes into town and I want
to take time with them. When
I have time on my own, the
two things I enjoy doing
would be reading, I’ve always
enjoyed reading very much,
and in latter years I’ve done a
great deal of listening to
records. I enjoy listening to
symphony music and operatic
music and I do a good deal of
that for my own relaxation.
When I’m on vacation, I play
golf and I swim every day,
but that’s just on vacation.
GB: AT WHAT AGE DID
YOU FIRST THINK ABOUT
ENTERING THE
PRIESTHOOD?
Arthb,shop: Taking my
family background and my
parish background, I’d have
to say about tne age I started
to become an altar- boy,
which was about age seyen.
But that’s starting to think
about it. In the course of the
years, I thought about it
regularly and put it aside
regularly, but came back to it
fairly seriously when I was in
high school. I lived in a parish
in which we had a close
relationship with the priest
and most of us would have
given some thought to the
priesthood as a vocation. I
would have been encouraged
in that in my own family
situation.
But in high school we were
encouraged to think seriously
about what we wanted to do
with our lives, particularly as
it related to our choice on
graduation, so that I had to
give it a good deal of thought.
I went to a Jesuit school that
had a very stiff academic
course and it was there that I
gave some thought to the
possibility of entering the
Society of Jesus, since the
fact they were all Jesuits and
I admired them very much.
But basically my attachments
had been to the parish in
which I grew up and had
served as an altar boy and in
which my family was very
much involved, so that as I
was preparing to graduate
from high school, I chose to
enter the diocesan college
seminary, where I lived at
home for two years before I
entered the major seminary.

state that the woman could
possibly suffer infection,
hemmorhage, uterine
perforation and later
jnenstrual disturbances. Now,
to those, we must add,
‘cardiac arrest due to
improper anesthesia.’”
I In reference to the ages of
the two girls in critical
condition, Mrs. Bowman
stated, “Under the courts’
rulings, the parents of both
the 15-year-old and the
19-year-old did not have to
be informed of the abortions.
Abortionists have vigorously
fought any attempt to require
parental notification, much
less consent. The most
amazing fact is that if the 15
year old wanted her ears
pierced, many Atlanta
department stores would not
do it without written
permission from her parents.”
Mrs. Bowman will head a
Georgia delegation to the
National Right to Life
Convention in Cincinnati,
June 21-24. She stated that
she plans to bring up these
two incidents during sessions
on how state pro-life groups
may restrict the practice of
abortion through legal and
legislative means.

GB: WHAT DO YOU SEE
AS SOME OF THE MOST
PRESSING NEEDS OF THE
ARCHDIOCESE OF
ATLANTA TODAY?
Archbishop: This is a good
time to ask that question,
since Pentecost Sunday marked
the opening of our year of
evangelization and quite
obviously the whole Church
in the United States is
concentrating on the notion
of outreach to those who
have drifted from the Faith
and to those who are not
presently affiliated with any
church. We’re all conscious of
our need to respond to the
directive of Our Lord to “go
and teach all nations,” so that
evangelization is a number
one need.
I think, too, the American
Bishops have indicated the
need to concentrate on the
support of the family. The
family in the United States is
subjected to many pressures
and it’s necessary that we give
every support to the family,
which encompasses a fairly
large and wide-spread
apostolate. Locally, I have
been concerned about two
areas. One is religious
education and the other is
care of the elderly. We need
to do a great deal of work in
both areas and we have a
large number of older persons
who need a good deal of
assistance. We’ve been
working on this for a long
time.
GB: IN THE AREA OF
ELDERLY, CAN YOU SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT THE
WORK BEING DONE
TOWARD EVENTUALLY
BUILDING A HEALTH
CARE FACILITY IN THE
ARCHDIOCESE?
Archbishop: We’ve spent
the last two and a half years
investigating, studying,
preparing and I have strongly
resisted making any
announcements until we are
reasonably sure of the
direction that we’re going and
the action steps we are going
to take. I think I will
continue to resist that
temptation until we’re ready
to announce an action step.
GB: IF YOU COULD BE
GRANTED ONE WISH,
WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Archbishop: The simplistic
answer to that question in the
tradition in which I grew up
would be this: To save my
soul. Having weathered 40
years of the priesthood and
probably become a little
more sophisticated, I would
probably give the same
answer and say to achieve my
destiny — which is eventual
union with our Lord Jesus
Christ in heaven.

NEW BISHOP -- Pope John Paul II places his hands
on the head of Bishop W. Thomas Larkin of St.
Petersburg, Fla., in ordination ceremonies at St. Peter’s
Basilica. Bishop Larkin was one of five Americans
ordained at the Vatican.
Pope Ordains Bishops
VA ilCAN CITY (NC) -
Ordaining 26 bishops from 12
countries at St. Peter’s
Basilica, Pope John Paul II
emphasized the duty of
bishops to communicate the
love of God to all people.
“May your mission and
your ministry lead to a
strengthening of mutual love,
of communal love, of union
with the people of God in the
church of Christ, because it is
in love and in union that the
face of God is revealed in all
its luminous simplicity:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
God who is love,” the pope
said. “What the world needs
most, this world into which
you are sent, is precisely
love,” he added.
Five priests from the
United States were among the
ordinands during the nearly
four-hour ceremony, which
drew an estimated 20,000
people to St. Peter’s May 27.
Approximately 40 cardinals
and 100 bishops attended.
The new U.S. bishops are
Bishop Michael" Kenny of
Juneau, ’Alaskaf Auxiliary
Bishop William Houck of
Jackson, Miss.; Bishop
Thomas Larkin of St.
Petersburg, Fla.; Bishop
Matthew Clark of Rochester,
N. Y.; and Auxiliary Bishop
John O’Connor of the
Military Ordinariate. Bishop
Larkin was a classmate of the
pope when they both studied
at the Angelicum university
in Rome during the 1940s.
Six of the ordinands were
from Brazil, and the others
were from Bulgaria, Canada,
Chile, Ethiopia, India, Italy,
Nicaragua, Norway, the
Philippines and Sudan.
Redemptorist Bishop-elect
Alfred Novak, a native of
Nebraska who has been
working in Brazil for many
years, was originally to have
been ordained auxiliary
bishop of Sao Paulo with the
group, but was not able to
attend the ceremony. Instead
the pope ordained Bishop
Fernando Jose Penteado, also
an auxiliary in Sao Paulo.

Three of the men were
consecrated archbishops —
Justo Mullor Garcia, papal
nuncio to the Ivory
Coast; Alifo Rapisarda,
papal nuncio to Bolivia, and
Achille Silvestrini, secretary
of the Council for the Public
Affairs of the Church.
The ordination Mass was
celebrated in Latin, with
Scripture readings in English
and Spanish. The pope
delivered his homily in
Italian, saying that he
regretted that time did not
allow him to describe “and
even to unite” the countries
from which the bishops came.
He said, however, that the
ordination of a Bulgarian
bishop — Samuel Seraphimov
Djoundrine of Nicopoli —
gave him an opportunity to
send special greetings to the
Catholic people of that
country, of both the Latin
Rite and the Byzantine Rite.
He also greeted the Greek
Orthodox Church and its
people.
But most of the pope’s
words were addressed to the
bishops themselves. “I
express the keen joy it gives
me to confer on you today,
dear brothers, episcopal
consecration and your
introduction in this way to
the college of bishops of the
church of Christ,” he said.
“With this gesture, in fact,
I can demonstrate particular
esteem and love to your
fellow citizens, to your
nations, to the local churches
from which you have been
chosen and for which you
have been chosen and for
which you have been made
pastors,” he added.

ground the moment he set
foot on his native soil.
The Pope’s ceremony-filled
day - capped by a televised
afternoon Mass in Warsaw’s
Victory Square -- began in
Rome shortly after 7 a.m. An
Italian military helicopter
lifted the pope off Vatican
grounds along with Italian
Prime Minister Giulio
Andreotti and several top
papal aides, and flew them to
an Alitalia Boeing 727
waiting at Rome’s Fiumicino
Airport.
After a brief parting
ceremony in which Andreotti
and Pope John Paul
exchanged greetings, the pope
boarded the plane just before
8 a.m. Fifteen minutes later it
took off.
During the flight the pope
radioed greetings to several
heads of state as he passed
through their national air
space: Italian President
Sandro Pertini, Austrian
President Rufolf
Kirchschlager, Yugoslavian
President Josip Broz Tito and
Czechoslovakian President
Gustav Husak.
After breakfast he traveled
briefly through the press
section of the plane, which
carried about 85 journalists.
Asked what feelings he had
about returning to his
homeland, he said, “I feel
very deep emotion. But I tell
others to control themselves,
and I must control myself
too.”
Reminded that he was the
first pope in history to be
visiting a communist-ruled
country, he replied that he
was visiting Poland, and
“there is but one Poland.”
When pressed on the issue,
he commented, “I think all
these differences - capitalism,
communism - are differences
from above. Below, however,
are the people, and this is the
human reality, a primordial
reality.”
The pope’s visit with
journalists lasted only 20
minutes. It was cut short at
9:45 a.m. as the plane began
its descent.
A few minutes after 10
a.m. the plane landed. Before
the pope got off, Cardinal
Wyszynski entered the plane
and greeted him privately in
his cabin.
As the pope descended the
steps from the plane, Cardinal
Wyszynski behind him, a
50-member military band
broke into the national
anthem.
The pope inspected
representatives of the Polish
military forces, standing
stiffly erect in the 90 degree
heat, then shook hands with
government officials and
diplomats. Finally he greeted
more than three dozen
waiting bishops, warmly
embracing many of them.

The visit is a “grand
moment,” said Jablonski,
who received the pope in the
name of the government.
He said Poland is proud
that a Pole reached the
highest rank in the Catholic
Church.
Jablonski noted the
increasing role the papacy has
played in recent years in
world affairs and praised “the
commitment of the church’s
prestige to activity in favor of
the ideals most significant for
the whole of mankind -
peace, friendly coexistence of
nations and social justice.”
Cardinal Wyszynski’s brief
welcome began with a Latin
invocation used on solemn
occasions in Poland:
“Rejoice, Mother Poland,
abounding in noble
offspring.”
“In your hands, Holy
Father,” the cardinal said,
“you hold our jubilant hearts
and before you rises the
noble spirit of ‘Poland ever
faithful.’ ”
Pope John Paul stressed
that “my visit has been
dictated by strictly religious
motives” and said he hoped
that it would “serve the great
cause of rapprochement and
of collaboration among
nations: that it may be useful
for reciprocal understanding,
for reconciliation and for
peace in the contemporary
world.”
At the same time he
expressed the hope that his
visit would aid the
“development of the relations
between the state and the
church.”
For the trip into Warsaw,
the pope and his entourage
boarded a 21-seat open Star
truck of white and yellow -
the papal colors - which
would serve as his basic
ground transportation
throughout the trip.
Covering the radiator grill
was his papal shield, a large
white off-center cross and
white letter “M” (for Mary),
on a field of blue. Decorating
either side were two smaller
bas-relief shields in gold: the
papal tiara with crossed keys,
and the Polish eagle.
Among the tens of
thousands who lined the
parade route, many wore
gaily colored festive
costumes. Hundreds of young
men wore caps of light blue
with the papal shield
emblazoned on them.
As the pope passed, many
in the crowd knelt and
blessed themselves. Earlier,
when the pope gave a blessing
at the end of the airport
ceremonies, several churches
in the city broadcast the
ceremonies over loudspeakers
into crowded squares, and
thousands knelt for the
blessing.
All along the motorcade
route white-and-yellow papal
flags hung side-by-side with
the Polish red and white from
almost every apartment that
was within sight of the papa)
vehicle.
The motorcade came to a
halt at St. John’s Cathedral,
where the pope and Cardinal
Wyszynski again exchanged
greetings. The pope then
made a brief stop at the
Shrine of the Merciful Mother
of God, patroness of Warsaw,
and went to Cardinal
Wyszynski’s residence for
lunch.
At 2 p.m. the pontiff
visited Poland’s top
government officials at the
Belvedere.
The first secretary of the
Polish Communist Party,
Edward Gierek, greeted the
pope warmly.
“We are glad to play host
to Your Holiness in the land
of our fathers,” he said. “At
the same time I, personally,
am truly glad to meet Your
Holiness.”
Gierek praised the pope's
efforts “to promole dialogue
and peace” and expressed i.i e
hope that detente would
reduce military expenditures
and allow more efforts to be
directed toward social
development.
He promised that his
government would
‘‘encourage further
development of relations
between Poland and the
Apostolic See for the sake of
combining forces to support
the supreme cause of peace.”
Pope John Paul used the
occasion to recall Poland’s
many struggles to achieve or
maintain nationhood. Peace,
he said, depends on respect
“for the objective rights of
the nation.”
