Another Curia officer, Paolo Cardinal Marella, 69, presided over the unveiling of the Pieta at the New York World's Fair, and brought Francis Cardinal Spellman a sentimental gift from Pope Paul: a topaz brooch once worn by Pius XII on state occasions. Marella returned home with four honorary doctorates, including one from Catholic University, which last year barred four progressive theologians from giving lectures there; conservative Marella commended the university for its loyalty to the teachings...
