FOR PRESS 7 AUGUST 1978
DEATH OF POPE PAUL
All Australians will wish to join with me in expressing deep
regret on the death of His Holiness Pope Paul VI. The world
has lost a great religious leader and statesman.
Under his Papacy the Roman Catholic Church has continued to
play a major spiritual role in the world and has been a
driving force for the betterment of the lives of many underprivileged
people.
Pope Paul himself strove tirelessly for world peace and for
higher ideals in the conduct of world affairs. He took up
office late in life but this did not stop him from travelling
widely in the service of the Church. Australians remember
with particular pleasure his visit here in 1970.
I was greatly privileged to call on Pope Paul in May last
year.
