Title
Famed cathedral to be state museum.
Description
Text transcribed from caption: C-31136 FAMED CATHEDRAL TO BE STATE MUSEUM CARTHAGE, Tunisia -- Two views of the famed Cathedral at Carthage which has been turned over to the Tunisian government for use as a state museum. The last Mass at the 68-year-old cathedral was celebrated in early June. Attending were 21 seminarians from the White Fathers’ seminary at Carthage; the seminary can be seen behind the cathedral in the picture below. Under an agreement between the Vatican and Tunisia’s government many church properties will be turned over to the state because of “reduced need.” Independence of Tunisia from France was followed by a major exodus of Europeans, with French, Spaniards and Italians returning to their homelands. Consequently, the country’s Catholic population of more than 300,000 dropped to some 40,000 within a short time. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PF-WN-6B-64-W)
