Address by Cardinal Heenan

Heenan, who was recently named a Cardinal

Unity Octave Sermon at Westminster
Cathedral, expressed confidence that the
Ecumenical Council's Declaration on non-
Christians, which includes the "Jewish
chapter", will be promulgated by the Pope

Arab Reactions
The Vatican correspondent of the Rome
news magazine, " II Punto", has stated that
Arab diplomatic circles do not exclude a visit
to the Vatican by President Nasser during his
expected trip to Germany in the spring. " The
intention of Nasser is supposedly that of
illustrating to the Pope the viewpoint of his
Govemment on the Ecumenical Council's
declaration on the Jews ",
According to the magazine. President H61ou
of Lebanon has been charged by the Arab
League with the task of expressing in official
form the opposition of Arab leaders to the
Jewish chapter.—(J.C)
