Footnote

e Under a bold-type heading that read “Kennedy Hails Encyclical as a Guide to All,” the New York Sunday News as of April 21, 1963, published a dispatch datelined “Boston, April 20,” and that said: “President Kennedy today hailed Pope John’s encyclical on peace as a ‘penetrating analysis’ of current problems which demonstrated how ‘one great faith and its traditions’ could offer sound counsel to all men and women of good will. . . . ‘As a Catholic,’ he said, ‘I am proud of it, and as an American I have learned from it.’”

For the first time in history the Department of State of the American Government at Washington, D.C., commented on an encyclical of a pope of the Vatican.
