Paris.-SovietPremierNikitaKhrushchev leftforhomeaftera12-daytourofFrance thatgavehimonlyglimpsesofherreligious life.Whilehehadvirtuallynocontactwith theclergyofthispredominantlyCatholic nation,hewastoldbyaFrenchCabinet MinisterthatifheremainedinRheims Cathedral,hewouldbetouchedbyGod's grace.

TheKhrushchevvisittothecathedral,wherein1429 St.JoanofArcwasonhandtowitnessthecoronation ofKingCharlesVII,wasarapidone.

TheSovietleaderappearedillatease,andheandhis partyseemedtohaverelativelylittleinterestinthe architecture,oneofthefinestexamplesofFrench Gothic.

OnlyMrs.Khrushchevandthewomenoftheparty paidmorethansuperficialattentiontothecelebrated stainedglasswindows.Themenmadetheirwayquickly tothesacristy.

ThererepresentativesofthenationalMinistryofFine Artsshowedthemthecathedraltreasury,whichincludes amongitsrelicsthechaliceofSt.Remigius,Archbishop ofRheims,whobaptisedtheFrankishKingClovisin 496A.D.,thuslayingthefoundationofChristianFrance.

Thetourover,FrenchMinisterofStateLouisJacquinotstoodatthemaindoorofthecathedralpressingthe Sovietleadersoastokeeponschedule.Inmockprotest, theprofessedchampionofatheismtoldMr.Jacquinot: "YouaretearingmeawayfromthegoodGod."

Mr.JacquinotretortedthatifMr.Khrushchevremainedinthecathedralhewouldbetouchedbygrace.

Twoversionsoftheexchangeemergedfromthose withinearshot.Accordingtoonereporter,theFrench CabinetMinistersaid:"Mr.President,ifyouwereto assistataTeDeumhere,perhapsyouwouldbetouched bygrace."

ButaccordingtoaRussianjournalistwritingforthe Parisdaily"L'Aurore,"Mr.Jacquinotsaid:"Ifitwere uptome,Iwouldleaveyouhereagoodtwoorthree daysmoresothatgracecoulddescenduponyou."

Whatfollowed,accordingtoaspecialwriterfor"Le Figaro,''wasthis:

"TheSovietinterpreterwasperplexed.Theword "grace"doesn'toccurinthediplomaticvocabularyof theSovietUnion.Hedidnotknowtheexactmeaning. Khrushchevlookedathimquizzically.Hehadavague feelingthathewasbeingmadeafoolof,butsincehe didnothavetimetodelveintothereason,hemadefor hiscarstraightaway."

Thecathedralhadbeenclosedtothepublicthe morningoftheKhrushchevvisit.Butitrevertedtothe faithfulintheafternoon,andatseveno'clockthearchpriestofthecathedralofferedaMass"withoutany specialintention."

AttackOnAdenauer

Ataluncheongivenbylocalgovernmentleadersin Rheimsfollowingthecathedralvisit,Mr.Khrushchev calledupthespectreofGermanmilitarism.

ReferringtotheJanuary22visitofGermanChancellorKonradAdenauer,toHisHolinessPopeJohn XXIII,inwhichMr.AdenauertoldthePopethat Germanyhasa"God-givenrole"tobe"thesentinel oftheWestagainstthemassiveinfluenceoftheEast," theSovietPremiersaid:

"IamveryworriedoverastatementmadebyChancellorAdenauerwhenhevisitedRomerecently.He saidbluntlythattheLordhadentrustedtheGerman peoplewiththemissionofsavingEurope.Wecannot reconcileourselvestosuchstatements,becausethey smellofHitler'sso-called'theory'thattheGermans aretheselectrace

"ItisworthwhiletoreflectonwhyChancellor Adenauerhadtomakesuchaspeech,andhedeclared thiswhileaskingforthePope'sblessingsforsome specialroleoftheGermannation ."

Earlierthesameday,theSovietpartyhadtoured thebattlefieldatnearbyVerdun,where600,000 Germansand400,000FrenchmenperishediriWorld WarI.

Severalhundredextremists-notonlyFrench,but includingPolish,Italian,SpanishandNorthAfrican immigrants-recruitedfromamongtheLorraineminers showedupwithredbannersandputonanoisydemonstration.TheSovietpartyappearedembarrassedand evenshockedbythedemonstration.

Mr.Khrushchevreactedbygazinginsilentaweat thegreatmonumentatopthehillofDouamont,which enshrinestheremainsof400,000unknowndead.Then hecommented:"Suchaspectacledemandsreflection andsilence."

Goinginsidethemonument,thecommunistchieftain passedbythecentralchapel.Becauseofthepresence ofthecommunistdemonstrators,theauthoritieshad closedthedoor.

FatherHomant,permanentCatholicchaplainat Douamont,whocelebratesdailyMassinthechapel, stoodbeforetheclosedentry.Hewasdressedinhis uniformofareservecommandant.

ThepresenceofFatherHomantatDouamontcontrastedwiththeearlierincidentinDijon,wherethe mayor,FatherFelixKir,leftthecityjustbefore PremierKhrushchev'sarrivalonMarch28.

FatherKirhadoriginallyannouncedthatasmayor heplannedtogreettheSovietleaderinanofficial ceremony.Buthereportedafterwardsthathehad beenforbiddentodosobyBishopGuillaumeSembel ofDijon.

The84-year-oldpriest-politicianexplainedhis absencefromthecitybystating:"Iwantedtheofficial receptiontotakeplaceincalmanddignity.There mighthavebeenbrawlsifsomebodytriedtocomeand fetchmeatmyhome,orifsomebodybroughtKhrushchevthere."

CommunistpartyleaderJacquesDuclosimmediately askedtheFrenchSenatetoqueryPremierMichel DebreontheKirincident.HeurgedthattheGovernmentissueaprotestatwhathecalledaforeign authority,andthatittakemeasurestopreventany recurrenceofsuch"intervention."

WhileinRomein1900,thelateBishopKelly ofGeraldton,underwhosejurisdictiontheVicariateof Kimberleythencame,securedtheservicesofthe FathersofPiousSocietyofMissions,andsince1907 theirworkhadbeenlightenedbytheassistanceof theheroicSistersofSt.JohnofGod.

Q.:AccordingtoProtestants entheotherhand.the CatholicChurchsays:"We willgiveyouhisbody.

R.:TheCatholicChurch doesnotsay:"Wewillgive youHisbody,butnotHis blood."Thatwouldbean impossibility.
