TH SUN-TEIEGRAM Aug. 27, 1978 A-4 Course? New pope chosen "Continued from A-l analysis Peter's Square hy late morning, when the cardinals in seclusion were to conclude their first two ballots. Cray smoke quickly turning dark rose from the stovepipe piercing the roof of the Sistine Chapel. "It's blac it's hlac many in the sun drenc hod square shouted. The piazza emptied quickly.

The smoke was darkened hy the addition of chemicals to the ballot papers and personal notes of the cardinals that, according to conclave rules, have to be burned after every two inconclusive votes. The election of a pope is signaled hy the burning of the ballots and other documents without any addition. To he elec ted. Pope John Paul needed at least 75 votes out of 111 a majority of two thirds plus one. It was one of the shortest conclaves in church history barely 25 hours.

Pope Paul VI was elected on the fifth ballot in a 3fi-hour cone lave in certainly a friendly, open hearted and attractively husky man. There is no reason to think that he has any detailed sense of the problems of the church beyond Italy. However, he may have the capacity to learn. He may have made some commitments about upgrading the Synod of Bishops and decentralizing authority to the national churches. He will probably not be an impressive pope: he does not seem to be the kind who will restore the impact of papal leadership in religion and morality around the world.

His personal charm may carry him a long way. but for many Catholics and non-Catholics personal charm is not going to be enough for the papacy to be taken seriously as the world's most important evangelization pulpit. One must not judge Pope John Paul I too soon. He may ell he the kind of man who will grow in his office. But the Piazza of St.

Peter's was half empty during his first blessing. Within a few blocks of the Vatican, young people were walking hand in hand down the street, men were leaning against the walls talking about other things, and the sidewalk cafes were busy with uninterested patrons. His election has not lit any fires in Rome and is not likely to light any fires elsewhere in the world. Apparently, the cardinals of the world have little sense of the kind of pope their people were hoping for, or if they did. had little interest in that pope.

Another Italian pope with conservative lean- ings and a chosen candidate of the cunal reactionaries is not likely to restore the fading credibility of the papacy. It will probably mean business as usual at the Vatican and that will mean that many Catholics will be even less likely than before to look to the pope for leadership and guidance. The full story is not yet out. Luciani has more pastoral experience than any other of the leading candidates. He may have persuaded the non-Italian cardinals that he will make major changes in the way the papacy is run.

He may have indicated that, he will retire at 75. They may have preferred him to any of the curial diplomats who were touched as favorites simply because he seemed to be a nicer man. Yet it has to be said in all candor that it doesn't look like the Third World or the European progressives put up much of a fight. They came to Rome, found out what the Curia wanted and quietly knuckled under. This is a quick judgment and it may have to be modified when more facts are available.

At the present moment, however, the evaluation has to be business as usual at the Vatican but with a lot more amiability. If that's not much of an improvement, it is at least something. It was after all, another patriarch of Venice with a warm smile who surprised a lot us. This reporter must admit for all his shock and disillusionment that he is captivated by this holy man's smile. AP wirpheto Smoke billows from Sistine Chapel chimney Saturday during election of pope.

World celebrates election of pope white, announcing that a new pope had been elected. For half an hour four more bursts of smoke came from the flue over the 500-year old chapel, hut the color remained ambiguous as the sun was setting. Only when the glass door leading from St. Peter's portico to the central balcony was opened was the crowd in the square certain that a new pope had been chosen. Lcn high Vatican dignitaries ho had remained outside the conclave had been unable until then to tell whether the papal election was over or not.

The first to appear on the balcony was Pericle Cardinal Felici. A conservative who had long been regarded as a contender for the papal throne, it fell to him. as dean of the Cardinal Deacons, to present the new pontiff. Cardinal Felici pronounced the age-old formula in Latin: "Nuntio i a i magnum habemus Papain." announce to you a great joy we have a Then the Cardinal Deacon pro-noupced the name of the Patriarch of Venice and the way he wanted to style himself as pope. Earlier, immediately after his election in the Sistine Chapel, the heart of the conclave area, the patriarch was asked by the ranking member of the electoral college, Jean Cardinal Villot.

whether he accepted. Cardinal Luciani said he did. and from that moment, according to canon law, was "bishop of Rome and true pope." Cardinal Villot, a Frenchman who had been the Vatican Secretary of State under Paul VI and interim head of the Vatican administration after Paul's death Aug. 6 until the beginning of the conclave, asked the new pope how-he wanted to be know n. The pontiff said: "John Paul The new pope's choice of a double name that had never before been used by any in the long list of pontiffs was taken to mean that he intended to combine the policies of his two immediate predecessor.

It was also recalled that Pope John was Patriarch of Venice hen he was elected to the papacy in 19r8. Before Pope John Paul showed himself to the crowd in St. Peter's Square he received the traditional "obedience" of the 110 remaining cardinal electors. They filed past him in the Sistine Chapel, one by one, to kiss his ring and be embraced by him. Then the new pope, assisted by priests, chose pontifical robes from among three sets that had been made ready in various sizes.

He appeared on the balcony of St. Peter's with a purple cape over a white papal cassock and wore a white scullcap. A crowd of thousands was in St. (Continued from A li drrod military honors.

Since he completed his ecclesiastical studies in Home, he has always been encaged in the ministry in the northeastern part of taly. traditionally a bulwark of Roman Catholicism Outcome, with an easy smile and a way of putting humble people quickly at their ease, the new pontiff is described as rather con servative in religious doctrine and in his politics. He staunchly came out against the introduction of divorce and legalized abortion in Italy.

Although as Patriarch of Venice he maintained friendly relations with the city's left wing ad ministration, he opposed col lahoration between Roman Catholics and communists. Pope John Paul's election came on the fourth ballot, at the end of the first day of voting by the 111 cardinals assembled in the seclusion of the Vatican conclave. The new pope decided to keep the cardinals sequestered in the conclave until am. today (12 30 a.m. PDT in order to talk ith them, as Pope Paul had done.

Carlo Confalonieri. dean of the College of Cardinals, said John Paul's coronation probably will take place Sept. 3 next Sunday. The Patriarch of Venice, although mentioned as a possible candidate for the papacy, was never considered a front-runner. His election in one of the shortest conclaves in modern church history proved, according to churchmen, that the cardinal electors had reached a broad consensus even before they entered into seclusion Friday night.

He is said to have had early support from various United States and Latin American cardinals as well as from the West German hierarchy. Italian cardinals rallied behind him because he appeared to them a compromise candidate who might bridge what could have developed into a rift between liberals and conservatives in the Italian and world episcopacy. The throngs in St. Peter's Square and television watchers in many countries got their first inkling -that the church had a new pontiff hen gray smoke poured copiously out of a chimney surmounting the Sistine Chapel at 6:24 p.m. I There was much guessing whether the smoke signal was 'meant to be black meaning another inconclusive ballot or agency reported the pope's election without comment.

Assnciated Press Church hells tolled throughout Christendom Saturday, celebrating the election of a new pope to lead the world's 700 million Roman Catholics. Political and religious leaders offered prayers and best wishes to Italian Cardinal Albino Luciani now Pope John Paul I. President Carter, a Southern Baptist, sent congratulations and a prayer that the new pope's voice on behalf of peace and justice "will be heard and echoed by people of good will throughout the world."
