Pope Paul VI Arrives in Colombo After Hong Kong Visit
Pope Paul VI arrived in Colombo on a two hour stopover, after a 28,000 mile Asian journey starting in Hong Kong. Crowds welcomed the pontiff as he celebrated Mass at the Colombo airport area near a coconut plantation, then he left for his next stop in Ceylon. In Hong Kong he appealed for end to delalations and for admission of Roman Catholic missionaries, saying Christ is a teacher and redeemer for China too. He avoided direct criticism of Maoist China while signaling a cautious path between Mao and Chiang Kai-shek regimes. The pope later spoke via radio messages calling for peace to leaders of North and South Vietnam and Cambodia.
