Boston Caned Great Diocese By Delegate BOSTON (NC) The Archdiocese of Boston has been described as "one of the greatest archdioceses in the world" . by Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Cicognapi, Apostolic Delegate to the United States. The bishops, priests, Religious and laity of Boston, he said, "have accomplished a work that only the vital spirit of Christi anity, eminent virtues and self sacrifice could produce." The result, he added, is a "work of perfection." Archbishop Cicognani made the statement in an address at ceremonies here marking the 150th anniversary of the Boston ·see. In April 1808, the diocese was erected out of territory which had. previously been part of the Baltimore diocese. The Archbishop, who is mark ing the 25th anniversary ·of his appointment as Apostolic Dele gate to this country and of his elevation as a bishop, declared that "Boston stands today as one of the greatest archdioceses in the world, well established and providing not only for itself but also for others of the Catholic Church. "It is obvious that this arch diocese is)a work of perfection, a result of holiness; there is no other explanation. Its shepherds, bishops and priests, have from the beginning aimed at perfect tion; they have striven mightily for virtue and holiness and it is evident that they have at tained it."
