Cooperation was the keynote in the Vice President's audience with Pope Paul VI. From Rome, Humphrey headed for Florence to view the damage of last fall's floods and the effects of the $650,000 of American art-rescue efforts he had helped to organize. There, as he pondered this week's round of skull sessions with Britain's Prime Minister Harold Wilson, West Germany's Kiesinger and France's De Gaulle, Humphrey could look back on a hectic week of 14-hour work days in which he had ful filled the first...
...last week, declared Paul VI in Populorum Progressio (On the Development of Peoples), the fifth encyclical of his 45-month pontificate. The fourth major document of the Roman Catholic Church in the past six years to deal with socioeconomic problems,* the 12,000-word encyclical was in some ways the Pope's most striking pronouncement.

"I have made no decision with regard to my own political activities," he said, "and would not make one in the foreseeable future...
...door of Wittenberg's Castle Church and, in effect, began the Reformation. It was also the beginning of his excommunication by Rome; four years later, Pope Leo X drummed the great heretic out of the church. Now two ecumenically minded men from St. Louis have asked Pope Paul VI if it isn't time to end the grudge. Wrote the Rev. Walter Riess, a Lutheran minister, and Edward Meiners, a Catholic layman: "Your lifting of his excommunication would voice to all Protestants a fresh expression of your openness to Christian unity." The fact is that the Vatican...
