TRIBUTE TO MARY AT CLOSE Of 3rd SESSION
first Pentecost, she may also assist the Catholic hierarchy at this moment. Let us invoke Our Lady as spiritual Mother and Mother of the Church."
NOW STRONGER
AT THE CLOSING CEREMONY OF THE THIRD SESSION OF THE VATICAN COUNCIL I I, POPE PAUL VI PROCLAIMED THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, "MOTHER OF THE CHURCH." This proclamation implied no new dogma or doctrine, but was intended to add to devotion to Mary without making new theological statements, which antagonise could nonCatholics. The action of the Holy Father was on his own authority, even though the Council Fathers had debated the chapter "on the Blessed Virgin Mary, in relationship with the Mystery of Christ and of the Chwch," in the 81st, 82nd and 83rd General Congregations in mid-September. In these debates, Bishop Van Lierde, the Pope's Vicar-General for Vatican City, said he preferred the title Mary, Mother of the Church.
Holy Father said that at the end of this session some important schemas and arguments would have been concluded and that some doctrines concerning Christian life would have to be promulgated.

The comment made by the Pope at the closing session, on the "De Ecclesia" schema, which recognised the Bishops as associated with the Pope in supreme authority over the Church was: "We do not feel that by exalting your authority we have diminished ours. On the contrary, we now feel stronger because of this union and this collaboration." The Holy Father said that there would be another session of the Council, but no date was yet fixed for its commencement. After the ceremony, Pope Paul drove through the streets of Rome amid cheering crowds to the Basilica of St. Mary Major. Here he prayed before an ancient image of Mary, tradition says was painted by the Apostle St. Luke. It bears the title "Mary, Salvation of the Roman people."
Pilgrims to the 38th International Eucharistic Congress which opens in Bombay on Saturday, November 28 will enter India past this building known as "The Gateway to India." Pope Paul VI, Who will f ly to Bombay on December 2, will be the first Pope ever to attend such a meeting held outside of R ome. —(Photo N.C.)
