HE ADDED THAT the nam
ing of cardinals of every race
sis only the seal of an an
cient doctrine and tradition
followed for 1000 years, be-
ginning with the event re-
corded in the Acts of the
Apostles written by St. Luke"
The event is the baptism of
the minister of the Ethiopian
Queen Candace by the dea-
con Philip.
Raised to the Sacred Col
Iege at the consistory were
Their Eminences Luigi Cardi-
nal Traglia, who was also
named Pro-Vicar General OF
the Rome diocese; Peter Car.
dinal Dol, Archbishop of
Tokyo; Joseph Cardinal Le'
febvre, Archbishop of Bour-
ges. France Bernard Cardl.
nal Alfrink, Archbishop of
Utrecht, the Netherlands; Ru-
fino Cardinal Santos, Arch
bishop of Manila; Laurian
Cardinal R~ugambwa, Bishop
of Rutabo, Tanganyika, and
Antonio Cardinal Bacci, for
mer Secretary of Briefs to
Princes.
THiRTY.sEvEN cardin a Is
attended the c~onsistory, held
in the Vatican Palace. Pres
ent in addition to cardinals
of the Vatican headquarters
staff and Italian cardinals
were Their Eminences Will
liam Cardinal Godfrey, Arch
bishop of Westminster; Pierre
Cardinal Gerlier, Archbishop
of Lyons, France; Paul Cardi-
nal Richaud, Archbishop OF
Bordeaux, France, and Ignace
Cardinal Tappouni, Patriarch
of Antioch of the Syrians.
After reciting a prayer to
the Holy Ghost, Pope John
delivered his consistory adj
dress in Latin. He also an
nounced the appointments OF
bishops made since the De-
cember, 1889, conslstor.' and
spoke of the forthcoming can
onization of Blessed Juan de
Ribera, 16th-century Arch
bishop of Valencia, Spain.
According TO tradition the
Pope's speech, which is one
of the final ceremonial steps
before canonization, was fol-
lowed by a report on Blessed
Juan's miracles, life and vir-
tues. The report was made by
His Eminence Gaetano Cardi-
nal Cicognani, Project of the
Sacred Congregation OF Rites.
The cardinals at the consls-
tory then voted for Blessed
Juan's inclusion among the
saints.
ANOTHER TRADITIONAL
ceremony observed during the
consistory was the transfer
ring of the purse of the
Sacred College from His En-
inence Eugene Cardinal Tis-
serant, Dean of the College,
to His Eminence Clemente
Cardinal Micara, Vicar Gen
eral of Rome.
In ancient times this meant
the transfer of control of the
possessions held in common
by the Sacred College and
was transferred in rotation
among the cardinals accord
ing TO seniority. Today the
transfer is purely ceremonial
and the purse contains only
a memorandum OF the consis-
tory taking place.
At the beginning of his adj
dress Pope John expressed
his sorrow over the recent
death of Cardinal Alojzije
Stepinac of Yugoslayia. The
Pope said he likes to feel that
the Cardinal lis the heavenly
protector of his native land
where he and the holy Church
have suffered SO much"
He said his thoughts here
also turned TO the sufferings
of Catholics In many places
where "cruel treatments vio-
late religion, human and
Christian civilization and the
respect due in justice TO indl'
viduaI and collective free.
DOM"
He repeated his concern at
the end of his speech when
he said:
I'VE are sometimes assailed
by a wave Of emotion at the
sight OF SO many sufferings,
Misunderstanding and uncer-
tainties which agitate social
life and keep the relations
between governments them
selves in q state of hesita'
ton"
POPS JOHN sAiD that hu.
man events revolve not only
around the search for and APP
probation OF truth and jus.
tice. but also around a COM
pick of activities In the tenn.
poral sphere out Of which
theological differences arise.
He added that the danger
from these theological differ
ences increases "the more we
