- Text transcribed from caption: C-31750 POPE REDEDICATES MONTE CASSINO CASSINO, Italy -- Pope Paul VI rededicates to peace and European unity the sixth century Benedictine Abbey of Monte Cassino, destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II and later reconstructed on its same hilltop location. Founded by St. Benedict in 529, the abbey has been rebuilt a number of times in is long history. At the dedication Mass, the Pope named St. Benedict as patron of Europe and cited him as “a messenger of peace, a maker of union, a teacher of civilization and, above all, a herald of Christ’s religion and founder of monastic life in the West.” In a reference to the bombing of the abbey (Germans had been reported using it as an observation post), the Pope said, “we cannot fail to deplore that civilized men should have had the boldness to make of St. Benedict’s tomb a target of merciless violence.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (K-10E-64-NAB)

- Description
- Text transcribed from caption: C-31749 POPE HAILED AT MONTE CASSINO CASSINO, Italy -- Despite a pouring rain which forced him to cancel a helicopter flight from the Vatican, Pope Paul VI was warmly cheered in Cassino, Italy, where he rededicated the famed centuries-old Monte Cassino Abbey. Top phono shows the pontiff under an umbrella acknowledging greetings on arriving by car at the abbey’s sit. Below, he leaves the abbey (background) after the rededication ceremonies. The abbey, founded in 529 by St. Benedict -- whom the Pope named as patron of Europe -- has been rebuilt a number of times in its long history. The structure was virtually destroyed in World War II by Allied bombing following reports that the Germans were using the abbey as an observation post.
