European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - August 28, 1978, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 8 the stars and stripes monday August 26, 1978 new Pope is Likely to run tight ship with kindness by Barry James Vatican City up in picking Albino Luciani As 263rd Pope the College of cardinals has clearly chosen a pastor rather than a politician Diplomat or Theo Logian. Based on his past record the new Pope John Paul can be expected to run a tight ship As he takes Over the Helm of the barque of St. Peter. But he can also be expected to do so with great kindness compassion and humility. Many around the Vatican already Are predicting that Luciani could develop into the same Type of Pope As his old xxii1 Luciani avoids condemnations. His style can be judged from recent statements he made after the birth of a test tube baby in Britain. He expressed grave reservations and said the doctors involved could be sorcerer s but he immediately went on to Welcome the child and state his full understanding and his sympathy with the parents motives. Pope John Paul is unlikely to make major changes in Church teaching on priestly celibacy birth control f. And other subject s of concern to the Liberal f Wing of catholicism. But he can be expected to search for new ? interpretations of those teachings. I he once said the main problem confront ing the Priesthood was not celibacy but Lack of Faith. We need less sociology More theology he said and expressed willingness to develop new forms of ministry and priestly he strongly opposed divorce calling it a cause of uncertainty fear and sushi cion.," he called for reforms that would strengthen the family. He once expressed doubts about the Church s policy on birth control but fell Tato Tine with Pope Paul s edict on the subject after it was published in 1968. However he is highly unlikely to condemn those who on personal grounds do not go along with that teaching. Pope John Paul is Likely to bring some discipline to the Church after several years of Drift and this was precisely what Sev eral cardinals said they wanted to see. But this discipline i i be tempered by Charm and openness. He is a Man of great personal warmth and spiritual strength a Jesuit said. He has the easy manner the Charm of John but he is capable of Stern Public stands. I think hell probably take a Strong Public position in support of All Church Pope John Paul can be expected to continue putting into effect the reforms and in sights of the second Vatican ecumenical Council the texts of which he constantly cites. In taking the names of his two predecessors he is Likely to follow in their foot Steps perhaps combining John s openness with Paul s seriousness. But since he is the first Pope who has adopted a double name it is also possible he Wil be an innovator. In one sense. Pope John Paul clearly Dif fers from Paul a. He can communicate. He writes Well and Speaks Well said Cardinal Carlo Gonfalonieri. Paul was milanese Middle class. He often spoke above the Heads of some listen ers. Paul John comes from a working class family he Speaks bluntly in terms that All can understand and he has Long worked As a part time journalist.
