LaBINE In no living man's memory had a pope been chosen in 24 hours. Many years had passed since all 62 cardinals walked into the secret con-clave from which one must emerge supreme pontiff; in less urgent times some of the sacred college might be ab-sent. Most important, not since the resolute monk Hildebrand was elected Pope Gregory VII in 1073 had a papal secre-tary of state become the vicar of Christ. But it was no accident that the Roman Catholic church presented a solid front, or that its college of cardinals acted quickly to choose Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, statesman and ecclesiast, as Pius XII. In a day that demands strong men the church could find none stronger, none better fitted by experience and Instinct to carry on with greater emphasis the policies of interna-tional statecraft which first found expression under the late Pius XI. Since 1929 the new pope has engi-neered Vatican foreign policy from behind scenes as papal secretary of state. Since 1917, when Benedict XV sent him to war-tor- n Germany in a vain peace gesture, Eugenio Pacelli has been what any nation but the Vatican would term a "ca-reer diplomat" iiiiiihiiiiuiiiiii wi .luiiiLnw im 111 I.JI W I'mu.V J "W I' ST''.

H! v THE POPE IN AMERICA Pope Pius XII, new head of the Roman Catholic church, when, a$ Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, he ipoke at Catholic University in Washington during his visit in 1936. Comes From Vatican Family. Forty years ago Pius XII disre-garded a century-ol- d family tradi-tion which has made the Pacelli family esteemed members of the old Vatican aristocracy. His grand-father was undersecretary of the in-terior from 1851 to 1870. His father was an attorney at the papal court, as his brother, Francesco, is today. Eugenio Pacelli entered the priest-hood, but the statesman In him has shone brightly as the churchman. Since the day he began wriUng rough letter drafts for papal diplo-mats in 1889, his life has been that of the state secretariat. Step by step he" climbed under the eyes of Cardinal Gasparri, whom he was destined one day to succeed. In 1917 came the appointment as papal nuncio to Germany, a peace-making effort which failed, but so impressed the former Kaiser Wil-hel- m that he devoted a full chapter in his memoirs to the future cardi-nal and pope. From this first diplo-matic role it was but a short step to of relations be-tween the Vatican and Protestant Germany. In 1924 the nuncio's seven-yea- r German mission was cli-maxed by the famous concordat. Re- - turning to Rome, Pacelli was hon-ored by elevation to the college of cardinals. The subsequent years have been far from happy for the Vatican or its chief diplomat Early in 1929 the Lateran agreement with Italy allowed Pius XI to end his volun-tary exile in Vatican City. Since then old treaties have been renewed with Austria, Germany and Yugo-slavia, while Rumania signed a new pact. And though Cardinal Pacelli could take heart from these accom-plishments, he must have frowned over less happy developments which placed the Catholic church diamet-rically opposite the anti-Chri- st spec-tres of totalitarianism. Under Adolf Hitler the church has suffered first in Germany and later in Austria. In both Italy and Ger-many there have arisen movements for "racial purifi-cation" and persecution of minori-ties. Mexico's religious foundations have been rocked, and the Spanish civil war came in the eyes of Catholics closer than any since the crusades to being a holy war. Changed Attitude Seen. This was initiation under fire, but the cardinal rose to his task. So well, in fact, that democracies which had long frowned on the Vatican's "interference" now dis-covered a strong ally for the inevita-ble showdown with dictators. Typi-cal was the reaction in Protestant England, where for 500 years the pope has been something to fear. But the election of Pius XII brought editorial praise for "the wisdom of the sacred college." No nation can claim the Vatican's political support against another na-tion, but the spiritual influence of Catholic upon Catholic, as voiced through the pope, is a potent force in the Twentieth century battle be-tween Christianity and paganism. England cannot forget this, nor has Hitler forgotten it, if we may be-lieve his reported comment on the new pope several years ago: "It isn't the pope (then Pius XI) who is making all the trouble for Germany. He is too old and sick to busy him-self with such affairs. It is Cardinal Pacelli, it is Cardinal Pacelli!" There is still another lesson in the choice of a papal diplomat One of the Catholic church's proudest stories concerns the aforementioned monk Hildebrand, last secretary of state to become pope. As Gregory VII he, too, had trouble with a Ger-man ruler. The last pope who felt he must obtain imperial ratification for his election, Gregory was blocked by Germany's Emperor Henry IV. Gregory had demanded that Henry cease dictatorial rule over the Catholic church in Ger-many. Henry replied by summon-ing several high German prelates and declaring Gregory deposed. Emperor Finally Absolved. This game ended when Gregory publicly absolved Henry's subjects of allegiance to him. The climax came when Gregory, stopping at the castle of Canossa on his trip north-ward into Germany, kept Henry waiting barefoot in the snow for three days, dressed as a penitent. Finally he granted absolution and Henry's authority was restored. Rome and Berlin may not be led to Canossa by Pius XII, but this modern counterpart of Gregory VII includes both Italy and Germany among his problems. A pope's chief duty, naturally, is to maintain the Catholic religion where it already has root, and to evangelize it in new lands. But this is an age where extraordinary duties sometimes seem more vital at the moment. Catholics and Protestants alike rec-ognize their need for a united Chris-tian front against political doctrines which they believe are working to place mankind's every action and thought under state domination. That is why Pius XII will be a pop-ular pope, especially among democ-racies. Whereas Pius XI described him-self as a "library mouse," the new pontiff has led a more worldly life. As cardinal legate he traveled through the United States and South America. On the latter trip he did penitence for the honors heaped on his shoulders by removing the soft mattress from his bed and sleeping on the blanket-covere- d springs. New Pope Popular Here. v. 1 V: :) ft Pius XII is the first supreme pontiff to have flown. Above photo was taken as lie stepped from an airliner at Burbank, Calif., in 1936. On his trip to the United States he crossed the continent by air; he thereby becomes the first pope to have flown. At that time the new pontiff lunched with President Roosevelt and "his truly American family." So far as is known; no previous pope has visited this coun-try, and this coupled with the re-cent date of his visit makes him especially popular here. There is good reason to believe it may lead the United States to send a minister to the Vatican. Already there are conciliatory signs in the air as Germany and Italy begin recognizing the new pon-tiff's vigor. This is especially marked in Italy, where even the mighty Premier Mussolini dares not flount open defiance of the Catholic church in a strongly Catholic coun-try. But while Italy attempts to make the most of Cardinal Pacelli's elec-tion, which was openly opposed by II Telegrafo, the newspaper of For-eign Minister Count Ciano, Germany has pursued a policy of watchful waiting.

PIUS XII ON DICTATORS At Netc York in 1936 "In these difficult times, so disturbed by political and social pas-sions, the voice of the pope is not only the authoritative word of the head of the Catholic church, but also expresses the dictates of reason and equity, of justice, and prudence and humanity." At Budapest in 1938 "Face to face with us is drawn up the lugubrious array of the militant godless, shaking the clenched fist of anti-Chri- against every-thing we hold most sacred. Face to fat:e with us spreads the army of those who would like to make all peoples of the earth and each individual human being believe they can find prosperity only by re-ceding from the gospel of Christ and that the happiness and greatness of society, as of individuals, can but grow dim in the shadow of the Cross." At Lourdes, France, in 1935 . "It matters little that they (the dictators) mass around the flag of social revolution. They are inspired by a false conception of the world and life. Whether they are possessed by superstition of race and blood, their philosophy as that of others, rests upon principles essentially opposed to those of the Christian faith. And on such principles the church does not consent to form a compact with them at any price." - |
