Title: South Vietnamese archbishop visits New York.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-29882 SOUTH VIETNAMESE ARCHBISHOP VISITS NEW YORK NEW YORK -- Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Thuc of Hue, brother of the president of South Vietnam, Ngo Dinh Diem, arrives in New York for a one-day visit with Auxiliary Bishop Fulton J. Sheen of New York and discussion with the press on the crisis in his country. The 66-year-old archbishop firmly denied the Roman Catholic Church is involved in alleged persecution of Buddhists, maintaining that Communists and other agitators are using the situation to their advantage. He disclaimed reports that his visit had political implications or that he was seeking U.S. Catholic hierarchy intervention with U.S. governmental authorities to ease relations with the Diem regime. His talk with Bishop Sheen, he said, was confined to missionary matters. The South Vietnamese archbishop was unable to meet with Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, who was out of the city. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (PA-NY-9B-63-NBM)
