Title: Pope Paul VI's first year.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-3111 POPE PAUL VI’S FIRST YEAR (First of a Series of Two Panels) VATICAN CITY -- On June 19,1963, Giovanni Battista Cardinal Montini, Archbishop of Milan, was elected Pope and became the first pontiff in 350 years to take the name of Paul. Top row, left to right, shows the Pope’s coat of arms; the papal tiara being placed on his head by Alfred Cardinal Ottaviani during the coronation rites in St. Peter’s Basilica on June 30; his first visit outside of Vatican City -- the first of many he was to make in following the example of his predecessor, John XXIII; and Paul VI’s historic meeting with President John F. Kennedy (July 2). During that audience he praised Mr. Kennedy for his efforts for world peace and racial equality. On learning of the President’s assassination on Nov. 22, the pontiff broadcast a special message praying for the peace of his “elect soul” and lauding his devotion to “the great causes of humanity.” Bottom row, left to right; first picture shows Pope Paul at a special audience in October with Protestant, Eastern Orthodox and Anglican observers to the Second Vatican Council. Early in his reign he announced his decision to continue the Council inaugurated by John XXIII and stressed that Christian unity was one of his major concerns. Second picture was taken in November as he led some 180 members of the American hierarchy -- including Joseph Cardinal Ritte of St. Louis, Albert Cardinal Meyer of Chicago, James Francis Cardinal McIntyre of Los Angeles, and Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York -- in prayers for the success of the Council. This occurred shortly before Pope Paul formally ratified the epochal Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy which was approved by the Council Fathers at the close of the second session. The third picture was taken in January as the Pope left Rome for his momentous pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He became the first pontiff to ever to travel by air and the first since St. Peter to set foot on soil hallowed by the footsteps of Christ.

Title: Highlights of 1963.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-30382 HIGHLIGHTS OF 1963 For Release: Thursday, Dec. 26, or later LEFT PANEL Top Left: Pope John XXIII, in April, signs the encyclical Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth), hailed by religious leaders of all faiths as one of the most momentous papal social documents of modern times. Top Right: Dead at 81, Pope John is shown lying in state in St. Peter’s Basilica. The whole world mourned his passing. 2nd Row, Left: The new Pope, Paul VI, greets Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox observers attending the second session of Vatican II, which his predecessor had convoked for an inner renewal of the Church and to foster Christian unity. In front, at left is Dr. Oscar Cullman of Basel, prominent theologian of the Swiss Reformed Church. At right is Methodist Bishop Fred Pierce Corson of Philadelphia, president of the World Methodist Council. Standing beside the Pope is Augustin Cardinal Bea, head of the Vatican Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity. 2nd Row, Right: Pope Paul is borne on the sedia gestatoria to the formal closing ceremonies of the Vatican Council’s second session. After promulgating a constitution on the sacred liturgy and a decree on the communications media, the Pope surprised Council Fathers by announcing he would make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in January, 1964. 3rd Row, Left: Shown here are two prelates whose release from Communist custody provided top stories during the year. At left is Archbishop Josef Beran of Prague, Czechoslovakia, who had been banished from his See and kept under government detention since 1951. At right is Ukrainian Archbishop Josyf Slipyi of Lwow, freed after 18 years of Soviet imprisonment. 3rd Row, Right: This picture was taken at a Pan-Orthodox Conference at Rhodes, Greece, during which representatives of ten Orthodox bodies agreed to enter into a unity “dialogue” with the Catholic Church when Vatican II ends. Bottom Left: Devotional prayer and Bible reading public schools was declared unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Most of the nation complied, though there was scattered objection in Eastern states and outright refusal to stop school devotions in some Southern areas. Bottom Center: Shown here is Blessed Mother Elizabeth Seton, foundress of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul of Emmitsburg, Md., the first native-born U.S. citizen ever to be proclaimed a Blessed. The beatification rites in Rome on March 17 were witnessed by some 4,000 Americans. Bottom Right: Catholic observers join Protestant and Orthodox at the World Council of Churches’ Fourth World Conference on Faith and Order at Montreal, Canada, in July. Shown together at an ecumenical rally held in connection with the Conference are (from left): Metropolitan Athenagoras of the Greek Orthodox Church in Canada; Paul-Emile Cardinal Leger, Archbishop of Montreal, Dr. W.A. Visser ‘t Hooft, WCC general secretary; and Dr. George Johnson, principal of United Theological College, Montreal. RIGHT PANEL Top Left: Jubilant throng in St. Peter’s Square hail the election of Pope Paul VI, formerly Giovanni Battista Cardinal Montini, Archbishop of Milan. In his first address to the world, he pledged to continue his predecessor’s work for Christian unity, world peace, and social and economic justice. Top Right: Less than six months after the death of Pope John, the entire world was shocked and saddened by the assassination of John F. Kennedy, first Catholic President of the United States. In a special message, Pope Paul prayed for the peace of his “elect soul” and praised his devotion to “the great causes of humanity.” Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, is shown officiating at the Funeral Mass in Washington for the dead President, a lifelong personal friend. Middle Left: July witnessed a memorable meeting in Vatican City between Pope Paul and President Kennedy. In a 40-minute conversation, they spoke of world problems, notably peace and racial justice. In a statement, the pontiff lauded the President and the U.S. government for their stand against racial discrimination. Middle Center: One of the most “sensational” papal audiences ever took place in March when Alexei I. Adzhubei, atheist son-in-law of Soviet Premier Khrushchev was received by Pope John. The Pope asked his visitor to convey to Mr. Khrushchev his thanks for the latter’s message of congratulations when the pontiff was chosen to receive the 1963 Balzan Peace Award. Pope John was the first pontiff to receive such an award. Middle Right: Pope Paul is shown with Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Thuc of Hue, after the military coup which overthrew the South Vietnamese government headed by the archbishop’s brother, President Ngo Dinh Diem, who was slain by troops along with his other brother, Ngo Dinh Nhu, the President’s chief adviser. The coup climaxed with a long series of anti-government demonstrations sparked by charges that the largely Catholic-controlled Diem regime was discriminating against the Buddhist majority. In August, the Pope had cautioned against attempts to “ignore the rights” of the Buddhist people and stressed that unity was the secret of the Catholic faith. Bottom Left: Catholics were among prominent religious leaders who took part in the historic first National Conference on Religion and Race at Chicago in January. Shown (from left) are: Archbishop William E. Cousins of Milwaukee, Wis., chairman of the Social Action Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference; J. Irwin Miller, then president of the National Council of Churches; Albert Cardinal Meyer, Archbishop of Chicago; and Dr. Julius Mark, then president of the Synagogue Council of America. Bottom Right: The Church in America lost its foremost exponent of interracial justice with the death on Nov. 24 of 83-year-old Father John LaFarge, S.J. He is shown here with a leading Negro churchman, African Methodist Episcopal Bishop George W. Baber of Philadelphia, during the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” supported by Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and Jewish leaders and groups. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO

Title: First Ecumenical Council.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-29938 FIRST ECUMENICAL COUNCIL VATICAN CITY -- Resumption of the Second Vatican Council recalls the first of the previous 20 Ecumenical Councils held in the history of the Church. That first Council was held at Nicaea in the year 325. Summoned by Pope Sylvester I and lasting two months and 12 days, it condemned Arianism which denied the divinity of Christ; formulated the Nicene Creed; and fixed a formula for dating Easter observances. Vatican II, called by the late Pope John XXIII, is aimed at Church renewal and reform in the 20th century. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RNS-9D-63-RB)

Title: Idaho 'dissident' Catholics appeal court ruling.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-46639 IDAHO ‘DISSIDENT’ CATHOLICS APPEAL COURT RULING COEUR D’ALENE, Idaho -- A group of dissident Catholics, who reject Pope Paul and the teachings of Vatican II and who now live an austere, devotional life in Northern Idaho, has appealed a court ruling in Ohio awarding $96,000 in judgements to two men who claimed the movement alienated their wives. The appeal was filed by lawyers for Our Lady of Fatima Crusade, which is based at the farm-centered City of Mary near Rathdrum, Idaho, about 20 miles northwest of Coeur d’Alene. It asked that the judgements against the Crusade and its leader, the non-accredited Bishop Francis Schuckardt (right photo), be set aside. Two brothers, Joseph and Henry Radecki of Toledo, Ohio, won the judgements after claiming in a suit in Lucas County (Ohio) court that the Crusade and Bishop Schuckardt alienated the affections of their wives by inducing them to leave their husbands and join the Idaho Crusade. The Crusade is often mistakenly linked with the Blue Army of Our Lady of Fatima, based in Washington, N.J. According to the local Coeur d’Alene newspaper, Bishop Schuckardt was once international secretary of the Blue Army, but broke away and founded the Fatima Crusade in 1967. A spokesman for the Blue Army said that Bishop Schuckardt’s claim of having been international secretary of the Blue Army is “false,” and that he worked for the Blue Army briefly as a developer of Blue Army “cells” around the country, but was eventually “fired.” He said that Bishop Schuckardt was a layman and not a priest, and had no idea how the Crusade leader received the title of bishop. Bishop Sylvester Treinen of Boise, whose diocese encompasses all of Idaho, has declared that because the Fatima Crusaders reject Pope Paul they can no longer be considered members of the Roman Catholic Church. At left, women members of the Crusade, dressed in long peasant-type costumes, stand and kneel outside the church in the City of Mary. Crusade members reportedly show special devotion to the Virgin Mary and follow literally the contents of the “Fatima message,” and strenuously object to the use of the vernacular in the Mass. They are strongly anti-Communist, reject public schools, discourage recreational activities, stress spiritual development, operate their own “Catholic” schools, and encourage members to become “sisters” and “brothers.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (RVJ-IDA-1C-75-DS)
