Pope commends press
at end of foreign tour
United Press International
MEXICO CITY — Pope John
Paul II, winding up the first foreign
tour of his papacy, spoke out for
freedom of the press Wednesday
while thousands of U.S. Catholics
gathered near the Texas border to
see him.
About 200,000 persons had
crossed the border, heading for
Monterrey, including many
Mexican-Americans and foreign
tourists in the United States, Ruth
McClendon, U.S. consul in the
northern Mexican city, said.
John Paul was to speak from a
highway bridge near Monterrey,
about 120 miles south of Laredo,
late Wednesday afternoon on the
last stop of his six-day Mexican tour.
McLendon said the consulate set
up a three-officer “emergency
team” to work with Monterrey and
Nuevo Leon state officials on the
expected problems, such as lost
immigration documents, illnesses
and lost children.
In one of his final appearances in
Mexico City, John Paul appeared in
a papal press audience before a
crowd of the reporters who had cov
ered his trip, saying he was im-
presssed by how hard journalists
work, praising their profession and
urging freedom of the press.
“Understanding the tensions and
difficulties in which you do your
work, I know well the effort re
quired to report the news. I can
imagine how tiring it must be to
move, install and remove, from one
place to another, all your compli
cated equipment, he said.
“Serve all the truth,’ he told
them. “In the measure that you pur
sue this ideal, we assure the church
will remain at your side, because
that is her ideal too: She loves the
truth and freedom, freedom to know
the truth, to preach it, to communi
cate it to others.”
In a morning appearance in
Mexico City, the pontiff appeared
before about 250,000 students from
Catholic universities throughout the
country, urging them to be both
good students and good Catholics.
Saying he was directing his words
to “the whole university
Latin America,” the pontij
on them to “work
the authentic and completepi
of your homelands."
“Give a hand, without
of any kind, to those who
like all of you, to build the^
good.”
