The pontiff had celebrated a Christmas morning Mass at the humble church on the outskirts of the city. Earlier, at a traditional Mass for diplomats in the Vatican’s Sistine Chapel, the Pope stressed the need for peace. He emphasized this theme at Pietralata and later when addressing the throngs in St. Peter’s Square. On Christmas Day, Pope Paul also visited 300 crippled children.

'Black Catholics Concerned.' Washington, D.C. -- Black Roman Catholics across the country -- about 1 million -- are being asked to contribute to a special collection on Sunday, Oct. 8, as part of a "Black Catholics Concerned" program sponsored by the National Office of Black Catholics (NOBC). The campaign is seeking to support several major programs being developed by the NOBC, including recruiting black vocations to religious life, developing black Catholic lay leadership, underwriting continuing education for black nuns, priests and Brothers, and the establishment of a national training center for black priests. This panel illustrates the aims of the campaign. Top left -- A black layman at prayer. One of the aims of the program is the development of strong black Catholic lay leadership. Top center -- Brother Anthony Clark, S.V.D. (center), tells two young men about the religious life at the Society of the Divine Word's recruiting booth at Black Expo in Chicago. A successful campaign will enable black Catholics, for the first time, to develop their own direct effort to encourage more vocations from among black Catholics. Top right -- Using a tiger pelt as an altar cloth, Father Kenneth Brigham, Father George Clements and Father Dominic Caromon (left to right) celebrate a "black unity Mass" at Holy Angels church in Chicago. A goal of "Black Catholics Concerned" is to stimulate an authentic black contribution to Catholic worship. Bottom left -- Father Ivan Hughes, O.S.B., confers his first blessing after ordination to the priesthood at the Benedictine St. Pius X Monastery in Pevely, Mo. Through the establishment of a training center for priests, the program hopes to prepare black candidates for the priesthood. Bottom center -- Auxiliary Bishop Harold Perry of New Orleans (center), the nation's only black bishop, is principal celebrant at a Mass during a meeting of the National Black Sisters Conference in Pittsburgh. Black nuns bring the Offertory gifts to the altar. Continuing education programs for black religious is another of the program's aims. Bottom right -- Artists Eugene Edaw (left) and William Walker stand in front of the facade of Detroit's St. Bernard church, which they designed. The work depicts the struggle of blacks, including a painting showing a black Moses confronting a black Pharaoh, demanding that he "let my people go." Black Catholics are being urged to combine Afro-American cultural elements and their Catholic heritage in worship and the arts.

Text transcribed from caption: ‘BORDA GIVES TO GOD’ #C-1347 TASCO, Mexico [sic] -- Few churches in the world have been founded under more unusual circumstances than this magnificent edifice here which was completed in 1757. The man who built it was a French miner, Joseph le Borde, called by the Mexicans Jose de la Borda. The story is that one day la Borda, downcast over a streak of bad luck, was on his way to Mexico City when his mule’s hoof sank into the ground and stuck there. Borda dismounted and examined the ground. There he discovered evidence of a vein of silver, from which he was to amass a huge fortune. The incident restored his faith and he decided to erect a church dedicated to San Sebastian and Santa Prisca; hence the Mexican saying, “God gives to Borda, Borda gives to God.” The mines discovered by Borda still produce vast quantities of silver. Tasco itself has been declared a national monument by the Mexican Government and building construction is not permitted unless approved by the national art commission.

Writing the Church of England publication, Prism, she declared that “clergy ought to be celibate” and advised girls that to marry a pastor means to marry a congregation. As her words were spread around the globe, a group of American Lutheran Church pastor’s wives gathered in Minneapolis, Minn., were virtually unanimous in their disagreement with the British woman. Mrs. Irving Strangland of Minneapolis argued that Mrs. Wolfe “misunderstands a man’s calling” and “also missed her own calling, which is to serve first as a Christian, then as a pastor’s wife.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PP-NY-1D-65-NBM)
