Officially Notified
As soon as the Pope had read
the list Of new cardinals, pom
tifical messengers set out to
bring them official notification
OF their elevation to princely
rank.
Pope John did not reveal the
identity Of the three cardinals
that he has held secretly "in
pectore"-in his heart-since
the consistory of March 20,
1860, when he announced that
he made such selections.
Vatican sources had thought
he might disclose their identity
today. The secret princes of
the church are generally be-
lieved to be prelates in Com
munist- st-dominated lands who
would be in danger If their
cardinal rank were known.
In his address to the con-
sistory, the 8o-year-old ruler
Of the Roman Catholic Church
expressed profound sorrow for
the condition Of the church in
countries where, he said, it
suffered trouble and sacrifice
and elementary human free
doInS were lacking.
He did not mention commu-
nisln by name.
The pontiff pleaded also for
greater social justice in gen.
eral, mentioning especially the
"arduous road" that confrontS
the new nations Of the world.
Council Opens Oct. IL
The Pope expressed concern
lest the condition Of the church
In Communist dominated lands
might impede bishops from
those areas from attending the
ecumenical council of the
church. It opens here on Oc-
tober II. a great Christian
gathering expected to give new
impetus to the movement for
world Christian unity.
Pope John, now well-estab-
lished as a precedent breaker,
announced that on April 10
Holy Thursday-he would con-
secrate as bishops the IL mem
bers Of the college who now
have the rank Of cardinal dea-
