Pope
(Continued from page 1)
As morning clouds gave way to
bright sunshine, the temperature
soared to 92 degrees with humidity
approaching 60 percent, the Na
tional Weather Service said.
Of the 500 treated by the Red
Cross, 56 were evacuated to San An
tonio hospitals by helicopter and am
bulance, said Fernando Guerra, di
rector of health for the metropolitan
San Antonio area.
During the ceremony, many of
the readings and songs were in
Spanish, and in the Mass, the pope
switched to Spanish when he called
upon the Hispanic community “to
respond to its own needs, and to
show generous and effective solidar
ity among its own members.”
He also lauded the “courage and
generosity” of those who aid Latin
American immigrants to the United
States.
“They have sought to show com
passion in the face of complex hu
man, social and political realities,” he
said. “Here human needs, both spiri
tual and material, continue to call
out to the church with thousands of
voices, and the whole church must
respond” in concert with other
Christian denominations.
The pope did not mention sanct
uary by name, but he appeared to
refer to that movement which assists
Latin Americans who enter the
United States illegally. Two Roman
Catholic priests ana a nun were
among eight sanctuary activists con
victed in a six-month federal trial in
Arizona last year.
In Texas, the diocese of
Brownsville operates Casa Oscar Ro
mero, a shelter for illegal aliens
named after the murdered arch
bishop of San Salvador, El Salvador.
Two former directors and a former
volunteer have been convicted on
charges related to transporting ille-
al aliens.
gal
Later, the pope had the opportu
nity to see a longhorn steer penned
near where he had lunch, and Texas
bishops gave him a $1,000 Stetson
cowboy nat and a painting of the
mission of San Jose, Texas' first.
“Ah, he just loved it,” the Rev.
Thomas J. Drury, bishop emeritus
of Corpus Christi, said of the Stet
son. The pontiff declined n
hat, however.

Crowd
(Continued from page 1)
Stretchers and golf carts are con
stantly going by, carrying victims of
the heat. Marta Zepeda, a papal
mass volunteer at the Medical Cen
ter Hospital in San Antonio, said
people were brought in for heat,
heatstroke, heart attacks and broken
bones. Also, several women were
brought in for possible miscarriages.
Others are trying to keep cool
with refreshments. The food ven
dors are doing a brisk business.
Pepsi in a can is $1. Hotdogs are $2,
and sausage in a bun is $3.
The pope begins his homily, or
sermon. He speaks on the necessity
of unity within the Catholic Church.
He also tells the people of the impor
tance of the sacrament of penance,
or confession, by using the story of
the prodigal son. He criticizes the in
stitutions that condone pre-marital
sex. His voice booms from the speak
ers as he speaks on the wonderful
mix of nationalities in our nation.
Especially people from his native
Poland.
The heat has gotten to the crowd.
They already are starting to leave.
But they cannot really leave. The
Secret Service has blocked one of the
main routes out of the area until the
pope’s motorcade has left.
Many of them hike through the
woods on makeshift paths. Some
climb through a barbed wire fence to
try to get to their cars and shutde
buses.
Bread is broken. Wine and water
are mixed and consecrated. The
Mass ends.

The theme of the papal visit in
San Antonio was Catholic charities
and social reform. The pope spoke
at a special meeting to discuss
Church involvement in these mat
ters.
But none of the papal hoopla had
an effect on Willie Tarver, a former
servireman whose home is the San
Antonio streets. Tarvertar'
