The Devil Dominates,
f
Says Pope Paul
THE BATTALION
Thursday, November 16, 1972 College Station, Texas Page 3
VATICAN CITY <AP) _ Pope
Paul VI said Wednesday the devil
is dominating “communities and
entire societies” through sex,
narcotics and doctrinal errors.
The 75-year-old pontiff, speak
ing in a sad and dramatic voice,
addressed a crowd of 6,000 at
the weekly public audience in the
huge hall of St. Peter’s Basilica.
Vatican observers said the Pope
was voicing concern over Satanic
cults and spiritualist sects that
have spread recently from the
United States and northern Eur
ope to Italy.
There are reports that spiri
tualist seances by those who be
lieve they can contact the dead
have become fairly frequent even
in Rome.
“Do we not see how much
evil is in the world?” Pope Paul
asked. “Are we believers not
those who are most troubled by
the observation and experience
to evil?”
“We all are under an obscure
domination,” he said. “It is by
Satan, the prince of this world,
the No. 1 enemy.”
He said the devil was a “ter
rific reality — mysterious and
awe-inspiring.”
In a reference to devil wor
ship he deplored those who be
lieve in Satan as “a self-suffi
cient being which does not draw
its origin from God like all crea
tures.”
On the other hand, he criticized
those who question the existence
Birth Control Center To Open
December 1 At UH Campus
HOUSTON i^P> — Dr. Joseph
Schnitzen, acting dean of student
life at the University of Hous
ton, announced Wednesday the
addition of a federally funded
birth control center on the UH
campus.
UH hired Dr. Elizabeth Ward
as a gynecologist for the campus
Health Center last year and she
has worked to obtain the birth
control center, Dr. Schnitzen
said.
Dr. Ward said preventive treat
ment would include routine tests
for syphilis and gonorrhea, breast
and pelvic examinations, pap
smears, and urine, blood count
and blood sugar tests. All tests
will be free of charge.
Dr. Ward said she would con
tinue her abortion referral pro-

placed emphasis on prevention of
pregnancy and favors abstinence
as a birth control method.
The gynecologist said she
would not fit intra-uterine de
vices or diaphragms, but would
refer women students to Planned
Parenthood, a family planning
center in the city.
Dr. Schnitzen said the univer

number of students using the

necessary.
Dr. Ward said she would like
to see more sex education on
campus and planned to continue
going to various classes to give

of the devil. Some theologians in
Holland and other countries have
inferred in recent works that
Satan may be just a myth.
“This obscure and disturbing
being does exist,” the Pope said.
He said Satan has a host of
other devils at his orders. The
Christians, he said, must fight a
“struggle in the dark . . . not
against one devil but against an
awe-striking plurality.”
It was the first time Pope
Paul spoke at length in public
about Satan. Sources said Church
scholars have recently sent in
reports to the Vatican on Satanic
cults and their spread. Special
attention has been reported given
to the Manson case in California
as an instance of “Satan on the
loose.”
In his speech, Pope Paul ap
peared to regret that in the new
rite of baptism, which he ap
proved three years ago, less em
phasis is given to exorcism. This
is the part in which the priest
orders Satan to get out of the
new Christian.
“I don’t know whether this is
realistic,” he said of the revised
exorcism.
Air Raids Pound
Victual
ii
SAIGON UP) — The United
States mounted against North
Vietnam in the past two days
some of the most concentrated
air attacks of the war, the U.S.
Command announced Wednesday.
American officials said the
raids would continue until a peace
agreement was concluded.
Air Force and carrier-based
fighter-bombers launched more
than 300 tactical strikes Tuesday.
During the 24 hours ended at
noon Wednesday, B52s flew more
than 30 missions against targets
in the southern part of North
Vietnam.
It was the largest number of
tactical air strikes against the
North in exactly a month.
“This is to let North Vietnam
know that as long as the war is
not over, as long as it has troops
in the South, we are not going
to hold back,” said an American
official.
The United States told North
Vietnam Oct. 22 that there would
be no bombing above the 20th
Parallel during the current peace
talks. The line runs roughly 75
miles south of Hanoi, the capital,
and 40 miles north of the de
militarized zone.
The violence of the latest raids
brought a clamor of protest from
North Vietnam against what it
charged was “indiscriminate car
pet bombing of heavily populated
areas.”
Hanoi’s official Nhan Dan
newspaper demanded a halt to
the U.S. bombing and the im
mediate signing of the draft peace
agreement worked out between
presidential adviser Henry A.
Kissinger and North Vietnamese
representatives last month.
American and South Vietnam
ese officials say the stepped up
air campaign is directed against
a substantial flow of enemy war
material, including new heavy
guns, to the battlefronts of South
Vietnam.
“If we try to minimize the air
strikes, Hanoi might get the im
pression we are not too serious,”
said the U.S. official. “If they
did not have logistical supply
points and infantry divisions in
the South, things would be dif
ferent.”
U.S. fighter-bombers and B52s
also attacked enemy troop con
centrations in South Vietnam,
Cambodia and along the Ho Chi
Minh Trail in Laos, the command
announced.
The United States is pushing
its own massive supply buildup to
the forces of South Vietnam in
a bid to beat a cut-off after a
cease-fire.
Pentagon sources reported the
United States has turned over
more than 600 planes and heli
copters since the big logistics
operation began two weeks ago.
