OCTOBER fl. 1958 r"""- 1 ' " nff ann n nn By FRANK BBLTTO VATICAN CITY (AP)-By na ture and inclination, Pope Pius XII was a scholar. A world war and an ideological fiqht (or men's minds compelled him to be a soldier. But, years hence, Pius XII may be known best lor his saintliness. Many here believe that the frail, ascetic, yet almost incredibly hard-workinj? man frequently hailed by great crowds as "Papa Santo" will one day be canonized a saint and thus receive the high est honor o( the church. The spiritual struggle he led was and is a tremendous one. In it, Pius XII, with countless written and spoken words, with prayers and directives to his hierarchy, urged believers in God to hold the ramparts of their faith against the forces of expanding material istic and atheistic communism. As a' boy, Kugenio Pacelli was a solemn-eyed little fellow, easily identifiable amid his more robust classmates. The young Pacelli. member of a Roman family ennobled by popes it had served for generations, gar nered scholastic honors. Early in lite he indicated his wish to be come a priest and began the long process of prayer and study that was to continue throughout his lite. He was ordained a priest at 23 and celebrated his first Mass in the Rome basilica of St. Mary Major the world's oldest Catholic shrine to the Virgin Mary. The Vatican's L'Osservatore Ro mano, founded by his grandfather Marcantonio Pacelli, reported the Mass and forecast a great future lor the young priest. Fifty years later, as the 261st pontiff, Pius XII made his 1950 Holy Year pilgrimage to the same basilica. It was a hot August day At St. Mary Major, he stepped briskly from a big American car GATES OPEN AT 6:00 P.M. ft FROM P J) hell jl y TO ipte TEXAS MmSsL DON I murray hy zA DIANE YA SSS5& VARSI Vj 'tp1 vVC Cinemascope j COLORhmuii I I (uFraulein 7t M CiNMSeoPE.niM f SHOWN AT 8:35 ONLY gift of U.S. Catholics. He raised his hand in blessing and the sun struck little blue rays from the "fisherman's ring" on his finger. Jhe pontiff hurried to pray be fore the aitar wnere he had said his first' Mass. He was then in the 11th year of his pontificate. His accomplishments already have assured him a place among the great popes. Despite persecution in Communist-ruled countries, the mem bership of the Catholic Church throughout the world has reached a record high. In private, special and tremen dous general audiences, Pius had received millions of people more than had anv other pontilt in his tory. He spoke to them in six lan guages and on many subjects. He had made many saints. He had announced that a decade of digging under St. Peter's Basilica had confirmed that at. Peter prince of the Apostles, had been buried directly below the main confessional altar. He had reiterated many of the basic tenets of the church, ae fending its dogmas and warning both the laity and clergy against modernism and novelty this de spite the fact that he sometimes was called The Modern Pope. That description was based upon superficial things the fact that he shaved with an electric raior, that he used a typewriter and telephone, that, as a cardinal, he had flown in an airplane when he visited the United States in 1936 DOORS OPEN 6:3Q P.M.

Mindful of grave economic stresses, he gave as temperate an interpretation as possible. But in an address to Italian midwives he warned that the life of an unborn child could not be sacrificed to save the life of the mother a statement that was termed "in human, callous and cruel" bv the Church of England newspaper. So mucn criticism followed the state ment that the pontiff reiterated the church's stand. No innocent life, he said, could be directly sacrificed for the sake ot another, and this anD bed in childbirth. Both the life of the child and that of the mother are equally precious, said the Pope. If one were to try to pick what Pius XII may have himself con sidered the supreme moment of his life, a good guess would be mat it was the moment when he proclaimed the dogma of the Vir gin Mary's bodily assumption into neaven. The dogma was proclaimed in St. Peter's Square Nov. 1, 1950. From 600.000 to 700.000 people packed the square and the broad Via della Conciliazione to Castel Sant'Angelo, on the bank of the liber nearly half a mile away. In front of St. Peter's central door, a temporary throne was placed for the Pope. Nearby were 39 cardinals and 600 patriarchs, archbishops and bishops by all counts the biggest gathering of the Catholic hierarchy ever held. A roar of approval rose when the Pope's words, carried by loud speaker, declared it catholic dog ma that the Virgin Mary, "The course of her life on earth termi nated, was assumed to the heav enly glory in soul and body." VATICAN CITY (API - When Pope Pius XI died, the Vatican's postage stamps and coins were is sued with the mark "sede va cante" 'vacant scatl until Pope Pius XII was elected. Presumably the same thing will happen now until a new pope is elected, probably within 30 days. Normally Vatican coins and stamps carry the name of the pope in whose reign they arc issued. VATICAN CITY (AP)-No pope ever before spoke out so frequent ly and on so many subjects as did Pius XII. None before him had the facili ties that were afforded to him by science. He frequently turned to radio and, in later years, televi sion to reach distant countries. Some of his major speeches, for example his annual Christmas messages that emphasized the subject ot peace, were broadcast in as many as 26 languages. Some of his words on various subjects included: COEXISTENCE "Either it (co existence) will raise itself to a co existence in the fear of God. and thence to a truly peaceful living together, inspired atid protected by the divine moral order, or else it will shrivel more into a frozen paralysis of international life, the grave dangers of which are even now foreseeable." (Christ mas 19541. ANT1CO.MMUNISM "We again warn Christians of the industrial age . . . against being satisfied with an anticommunism founded on the slogan and the defense of a liberty which is devoid of content. Rather we urge them to build up a society in which man's security rests on the moral order." (Christinas 1954. NUCLEAR ENERGY "The use of this enormous energy for peace- lul purposes is the object of care ful and continuous investigation to which is given our blessing to gether with the approval and the congratulations of every honor able individual and of all civilized peoples. (Easter 1956 1. COMMUNISM - "We reject communism as a social system bv virtue of Christ's doctrine, and we have a particular obligation to proclaim Ihe fundamental prin ciples of the natural law. For the same reason wc also reject the opinion that the Christian ought today to see communism as a phenomenon or a stage in the pas sage of history, one of the neces sary 'moments' as it were of its evolution, and, consequently, to accept it as if decreed by Divine Providence " (Christmas 1956. C01.0NIALISM-"Let not those peoples be denied a fair and pro gressive political freedom and hindered in .ts pursuit. ... On the other hand. Western peoples, especially those of Europe, should not, in the face of suih. problems, remain passive, in futile regret over the past or in mutual organ izations to defend your rights while remaining aware of your duties and to arric at an im provement in your conditions of life. You are acting fullv in con formity with the church's social teaching when, by all means mor ally with the church's social teach ing when, by all means morallv permissible, you vindicate vour just righls." 'Speech to Italian workers June 26. 1955'.

ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION The Pope said the so cvlied "test tube" process must "be reiccted is immoral and absolutely illicit " Address to World Congress on Fertility and S'.enlitv, gag : 1956'. . Death Of Pope Pm Ml PEACE "Nothing is lost with peace. Everything may be with war. Let man return to under standing. Let negotiations begin." 'Radio address Aug. 24. 1939 be fore outbreak of World War Hi. CAPITAL AND LABOR - "The opinion, unhappily too widespread, that between them there is an ir reducible opposition to divergent interests is erroneous and sad in its consequences." (To Italian Catholic employers. May 7, 19-19). COLOR BAR AND RACISM "One knows too well, alas, to what excesses racial pride and racial hate can lead. The church is forever opposed with energy to (these excesses) whether they con sist of attempts at genocide, or practices inspired by what is called the 'color bar.' " (Address to an International Congress on Blood Transfusion. Sept. 10, 1958). POLITICS Player the Pope composed for Catholic parliamen tarians and politicians says: "May we never lack in loyally to our people, faith in the principles we profess and elevation of the spirit above corruption and evil inter est." (Prayer published Jan. 28, 1953). "His was a full life of devotion to God and service to his fellow men." These words by President Ei senhower summed up tributes to the late Pope Pius XII by Ameri can leaders in government, reli gion and other fields. News of the pontiff's death to day brought an outpouring of statements expressing sorrow and lauding the late Pope as a "foe of tyranny ... a man of profound vision . . . one of the foremost champions of human dignity, free dom and peace." Joining Roman Catholics in mourning the Pope's death were spokesmen for Protestant and Jewish groups. The National Catholic Welfare Conference noted that no other pope in history has had as many ties with the United States as Pope Pius XII. The conference re called, among other things, that he was the first man to become pope who had ever visited the United States. This was in 1936, three years before he became head of the Roman Catholic Church. Also recalled were the pontill's many audiences with Americans who visited the Vati can. Eisenhower, informed of the Pope's death at Castel Gandolfo in Italy, said that "with men of good will everywhere, I mourn his passing." Ihe President said this of the Pope: "An informed and articu late foe of tyranny, he was a sympathetic Inend and benefac tor to those who were oppressed, ana his helping hand was alwavs quick to aid the unfortunate vic tims of war. 'Without fear or favor, he con sistently championed the cause of a just peace among the nations of the earth. A man of profound vision, he kept pace with a rapid ly changing universe, yet never lost sight of mankind's eternal destiny." Vice President Nixon said he had never met a leader in any part of the world "who had a keener and broader understanding of the great issues of our time than he had." Nixon added that "the wisdom of his counsel will guide statesmen for years to come." Edward Cardinal Mooney, arch bishop of Detroit, commented that "unnumbered millions who did not share the faith of Pius revered him as the exponent of the highest ideals for man and society. ..." Archbishop Patrick A. O'Boyle of Washington said. "The world has lost its foremost champion of peace ana tne Catholic world has lost its chief shepherd." Dr. Gardner C. Tavlor. Dresi- dent of the Protestant Council of tne Lity of New York, said "Peo ple of good will everywhere will sorely miss the vigor and vision that Pope Pius XII brought to the cause of a juster, fairer world." Rabbi Maurice N. Eisendrath, president of the Union of Ameri can Hebrew Congregations, said the pontiff "will long be remem bered for his earnest exertions for peace, for his rescue of many vic tims of nazism, for his cordiality towards men and women of all faiths." Other comments: . Gov. Avcrell Harriman of New York: "As no man in our time, and few in history, Pius XII ele vated the simple practices of hu manity to holiness itself." Nelson A. Rockefeller, Republi can candidate for governor of New York: "This gentle, great priest dedicated a lifetime to God and man." Sen. John F. Kennedy '(D Mass): "I know that people of all faiths in all nations join in mourn ing the passing of this man who stood for peace and wisdom in an era beset by war and the rise of godless dictatorship." Sen. Everett M. Dirkscn (R-Ill): "His saintly -character and his af firmative efforts for peace have made a deep impression on this generation. . . ." Do you windows iwoat?
