The Pope pronounced this credo during a concelebrated Mass on the steps of St. Peter's
priests, which he described as "a simple outpouring of our heart." It was a four-dimen sional vision of thc priest in the modern wol'1d. exploring the sacred character of the priest his gift of himself to the com munity, his ascetical character, and his membership in the Church. Pope Paul had opened the Year of Faith 12 months earlier for three declared purposes: "the' restoration of a realization of God for the modern world, the protection of the Church from internal dangers to the faith, and Chl"istian unity." This ceremony marked not only the formal close of that year, but the end of the fi rst five years of Pope Paul's pon tificate and the end of the 19th centenm'y of the martyrdom of Sts, Peter and Paul. In the introduction to the profession of ':faith contained in the Credo of the People of God, Pope Paul spoke of the Church's "duty to carryon the effort to study more deeply and to present in a manner ever bet ter adapted to successive gen erations the unfathomable mys teries of God." However, he added that the "greatest care" must be exercised not to harm Christian teachings. "It is important in this re spect to recall that, beyond Turn to Page Twenty
