Description:
Vatican City -- Amid the grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica's main alter, Pope
Paul VI addresses a huge congregation at a Mass marking the 1,000th
anniversary of Christianity in Poland. Thousands of Polish pilgrims from
various parts of the world were gathered in the basilica, along with many
church and other dignitaries. Pope Paul criticized as "not justified" the
Polish government's refusal to permit a papal visit to millennium
observances.
