Ordinations At Cathedral
VATICAN CITY. — HIS HOLINESS POPE PAUL VI HAS TOLD THE WORLD THAT HE WILL CONTINUE THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL BEGUN BY POPE JOHN XXIII AS "THE PRE-EMINENT PART OF OUR PONTIFICATE." In the first public address of his reign, the new Pontiff also pledged that he will "continue with every effort" the work for Christian unity started by Pope John, "for which he offered his life." Pope Paul declared: "We open Our arms to all those who glory in the name of Christ. We call them by the sweet name of brothers. May they know that they Will find in Us constant understanding and goodwill.Pt In his first radio message to the world, Pope Paul listed the other tasks which he has set for himself in his pontificate: • To make every effort to preserve peace among nations; • To work for the revision of the Code of Canon Law, a cherished project of Pope John; • To work along the lines mapped out by the great social encyclicals of his predecessors "for t h e strengthening of justice in civil, social and international life."
Administrator In regard to the latter point, the Pope called for "care for the underdeveloped countries, where the standard of living is often unworthy of the human being." Pope Paul, who has spent most of his priestnly life in the administrative branch of the Church known as the Roman Curia, said he wanted to express "in a special
way" his esteem for the curia. "We are certain that its most worthy work will be of genuine assistance to Us," he said. The Pope also saluted the cardinals "who shared with Us in the trepidations and prayers of these days of waiting" between Pope John's death and his own election. He spoke of his love for "the venerable brothers of the episcopate of the East and of the West" and said he was already anticipating "the joy of embracing them all at the second session of the Ecumenical Council." Greetings were also extended to the priests, Religious and laity of Rome, his new diocese, and of Milan, his old one.
Salutes Young Those in parts of the world where Christianity is persecuted, he said, "should feel Us close to them." He praised the work of missionaries and members of Catholic organisations, and continued: "We embrace with fatherly love all who suffer the sick, the poor, prisoners and exiles, refugees." Findlly, Pope Paul saluted the young, "in whom rests the sure hope of a better future:" the great and lowly of the earth; craftsmen and labourers; scholars, teachers and scientists; newsmen and writers; politicians and heads of state. * It has since been learnt that the recommencement date of the Second Vatican Council has been set for September 29.
Coronation Commemorated THE SOLEMN HIGH_ MASS CELEBRATED IN ST. MARY'S CATHEDRAL LAST SUNDAY EVENING TO COMMEMORATE THE CORONATION OF POPE PAUL VI WAS ATTENDED BY CIVIC AND GOVERNMENT DIGNITARIES AND REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ARMED SERVICES. An overflowing congregation packed out the Cathedral for the Mass. , His Grace the Archbishop Presided at the Mass and Their Lordships Bishop J. Jobst and M. McKeon were Present in the Sanctuary. Celebrant of the Mass was Father P. Quinn, with Father J. O'Reilly as deacon and Father P. McCrann as subdeacon. His Grace the Archbishop had as his assistant priest and assistants at the throne Pathers F. Walsh, P. O'Mara and L. Baccini. The ceremonies were carried out by
the students of St. Charles' Seminary. The sermon for the special occasion was preached by Father F. X. Brown, 0.P., who, after a brief biography of the new Pontiff, gave reasons for the devotion and admiration that we feel towards the. person of the Pope. He said that as the Vicar of Christ, the Pope had the primacy among the Bishops of the Church and personal infallibility_ in his office. At the conclusion of the Mass, the Te Deum was sung by the choir.
Pictured outside St. Mary's Cathedral with His Lordship Bishop M. McKeon are the three who were ordained on Saturday last. Father Kenneth Keating ( left) of Nedlands and Father John McCarthy of White Gum Valley Were ordained for the Archdiocese and Father Paul Carey of Pal •nyra was ordained for the Society of St. Columban. The newly ordained priests will return to t he seminary to conclude their final year of study and will receive appointments in the coming year.
RECALLS HIS PREDECESSORS: ASK PRAYERS
At the start of his first speech„ the new Pontiff, Paul V!, spoke of the Popes under whom he has worked:
"PIUS XI and his unconquerable strength of mind; PiUS XII, who illuminated the Church with the light of a teaching full of wisdom; and finally POPE JOHN XXIII. who gave to the world the example of his singular goodness. "But We wish to recall in a very special way, with grateful and deeply moved reverence, the figure of the mourned John XXIII, who in the brief but highly intense span of his ministry knew how to win over to himself the hearts of men, even those who are far away, through his sleepless solicitude, his sincere and concrete kindness towards the lowly and the outstanding pastoral character of his actions, qualities to which were added the very special enchantment of the human gifts of his great heart," In the face of the difficulties of his new post, Pope Paul said, he is sustained by Christ's promise to be with Peter and his successors for all time. He is supported, he added, by the motherly protection of Our Lady, "to whom We entrust Our pontificate from its beginning." To the world he said: "The vastness of the task that awaits Our poor energies is such as to bewilder the humble priest called to the heights of the Supreme Keys. But We shall dedicate to you Our prayers and Our daily efforts. We need, nonetheless, your collaboration and your prayers, that it may rise constantly to God 'in fragrant odour' for the pastor of the Universal Church."
Same Secretary Reappointed V ATICAN CITY.—His Holiness Pope Paul VI reappointed Amleto Cardinal Cicognani as Papal Secretary of State in one of the first acts of his pontificate. The Pope and thc_ Cardinal —who held the same post under Pope John XXIII— were associates when Cardinal Cicognani was Apostolic Delegate in the United States and Pope Paul was an official of the Secretariat, of Ste.te, first as Substitute for Ordinary Affairs and later as Pro-Secretary for Ordinary Affairs under Pope Pius XII. The 80-year-old Secretary of State, who served in the United States for 26 years from 1933 to 1958, was also President of the Commission for the Oriental Church of the Ecumenical Council. He was President of the commission that revised the proposals to be presented to the council at its second session_ Cardinal Cicognani was born in Brisighella, Italy, on February 24, 1833. His older brother, the late Gaetano Cicognani, was also in the diplomatic service of the Holy See and became a Cardinal in 1953. At the consistory of December 15, 1958, Pope John XXIII proclaimed him a cardinal. In the months following his arrival in Rome he was named to seven of the 12 Vatican congregations and four pontifical commis sions. His main post was that of secretary of the Sacred Congregation for the Oriental Church. On August 14, 1961, he was named to what has been called the second highest
post in the Catholic Church Secretary of State. His appointment lapsed with the death of Pope John.
