About this Collection

Conceived by journalist Louis Minsky (1909-1957), Religious News Service (RNS) was established in 1934 as an affiliated but independently managed agency of the National Conference of Jews and Christians (later the National Conference of Christians and Jews), and was dedicated to providing authoritative and bias-free news about religion and ethics to both the secular and religious press. This collection contains photographs documenting Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and Jewish groups. Coverage of Protestants (especially mainline Protestants) and Catholics constitutes the bulk of the images. View the collection guide to learn more. Digitization of some of the images in this collection made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Featured image: Father James Groppi, the civil rights activist priest from Milwaukee, and militant leader Rennie Davis are taken into custody during an anti war demonstration a block from the White House.

Title:
Pope visits Rome's oldest district.
Description:
Text transcribed from caption: C-31289 POPE VISITS ROME’S OLDEST DISTRICT ROME -- Enthusiastic pilgrims swarm around Pope Paul VI as he pays a short visit to the Church of Santa Maria in Trastevere, Rome’s oldest district which borders Vatican City. The pontiff was en route to the papal summer villa at Castel Gandolfo in the Alban Hills about 15 miles southeast of Rome. He told the crowd that he had come to Trastevere “to honor the Madonna, to whom the oldest church in Rome is dedicated” and “to meet the people.” Unconfirmed reports said that while at the villa the Pope would work on his first encyclical and that it will deal with family planning.
