Courage of OrdinarylPope Paul

A man of "great courage, great spiritual stamina . . " The speaker was IDs Eminence James Francis Cardinal .McIntyre. The occasion was the banquet in honor of Most Rev. Francis J. Furey, Coadjutor Bishop of San Diego. And the reference was to San Diego's first Bishop, Mo.st Rev. Charles F. Buddy.

Most Rev. Francis J . .l<'urey takes up his duties as Coadju- tor Bishop with the highest credentials he could present -the praise of His Holiness Pope Paul VI. In an apostolic Jetter, the Holy Father said, ''\Ve have chosen a person of outstand• ing qualities to fill the office of Coadjutor of San Diego," Archbishop John J. Krol of Philadelphia revealed in a talk here. Such a high compliment from the Vicar of Christ con- firms the great praises earn- ed by Bishop Furey for his accomplishments throughout his priestly career. • • •

Recalling the vision that in• spired the University of San Diego and commending the c o u r a g e that provided it, Cardinal McIntyre told the 600 Bishops and priests pres- ent that the Holy See had recognized the "great works" of San Diego's founding Bis- hop, especially the achieve- ment represented by the dio- cesan university. "A great institution and one that will become greater with the passage of time," His Eminence said. Cardinal McIntyre said Bis- hop Buddy "had met the chal- lenge the new diocese pre• sented 26 years ago" and his great works had won the gratitude and admiration of all. .I · The needs of the

are still great, the Cardinal said, and the problems are still there. It is for this rea- son, he added, that the Holy See has sent here Bish op Furey to assist the Ordinary. "If ever a Bishop deserves a helping hand in the per- formance of his many and arduous tasks, that Bishop is the esteemed first Ordinary of the Diocese of San Diego. "Under his able, untiring and inspiring leadership, the growth of this jurisdiction has been phen om en al," Bishop Furey said.
