Area priests remember pope for his quest for world peace
Southern Illinois priests reflect on Pope Paul VI who died after 15 years leading the church. Masses are planned in the diocese, including a Saturday burial day service and a 6:30 p.m. Wednesday Resurrection Mass at Herrin’s Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. Clergy note his UN speech urging disarmament and his push for world peace. A diverse panel foresees the next pope may come from outside Italy, with about 110 cardinals eligible and one third from Third World nations.
