Irish prepare for Pope's visit
BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP)—"No Pope here," read the slogans scrawled on walls of Protestant strongholds in Belfast, the violence-scarred capital of Northern Ireland.
The strident messages of religious prejudice have long stood like battle ribbons in the service of British province, but now with a new emphasis on Catholics in the neighboring Irish Republic prepare to welcome Pope John Paul II for a three-day visit starting Wednesday.
The papal visit, the first stop on a trip to the United States, is an important event with significant significance for many members of Northern Ireland's million-strong Protestant majority who see it as an endorsement of Catholic Ireland's claim that the embattled Church should remain part of the Union.
BUT, DESPITE the uncompromising slogans and threats of street patents led by the Rev. Ian Pasley if the pontiff foots across the border, many Protestants in Ulster are now open encouragingly a papal visit.
"Paisley doesn't speak for me," said Sandy Wilson, a Lion Protestant. "I think the popcorn could do a lot to ease tension."
Belfast City Council Bill Jeffries, a Presbyterian, has collected 60,000 signatures on a petition calling for a papal visit, and other Protestant leaders say they would welcome the pope.
THIS GROWING trend, in addition to Catholic pressure for an Ulter visit, has fueled widespread speculation that the church will continue to lead the trend.
The Vatican has said that the pope will not visit Northern Ireland, torn by a decade of sectarian feating and a terror war waged by militants of the mainly Roman Catholic Irish Republican Army to reunite the partitioned island.
Cardinal Tomas O'Fiaich—pronounced "O'Fee"—head
of the Roman Catholic church in Ireland, and other churmen are expected to press for a symbolic Ulsister visit when they fly to Rome this week to finish the pope's itinerary.
O'FLAICH WAS born in Ustler and makes his home in the northern city of Armagh, Ireland's ancient ecclesiastical town.
Significantly, the only stop not yet fixed on the pope's schedule is his visit to *O'Firichi*'s Armagh diocese. The diocese spills across both sides of the border and the pope could still visit it without crossing the frontier.
The Rev. Desmond Wilson, an outspoken Catholic priest in Belfast, said a visit from the pope would be a morale-booster for Northern Ireland's Catholic minority, outnumbered 2-1 by Protestants.
BUT OPINION IN Ulster is deeply divided. For many Protestants, the pope's visit to Ireland sparks fears that their homeland will be swallowed up by the predominantly Catholic rebellion.
The pope conducted the 20-minute ceremony from an ice-covered wooden stand, then blessed a 8-foot-built statue of saint Michael.
Away from the threat of violence, the pope braved a howling snowstorm on Mount Marmolada in Italy to deliver his Sunday blessing atop the peak as part of a one-day pilgrimage to the birthplace of his predecessor, Pope John XXIII.
AFTER CELEBRATING a morning Mass in honor of his predecessor at the late Pope's home town, Canale Marina, he and his team stepped into an old church and stepped out into frutti 19-degree air and gusting winds. The Mass and visit to the northern Italian town marked the first anniversary of the election of John Paul I, the "smiling pope" who reigned only 34 days before dying of a heart attack.
John Paul II affixed a fur coat and ski boots offered by alpine police and conducted the mountaintop blessing chalice in which he presented the sacred papal sash. He took off his white skullcap after strong winds almost elicited it off and remained bareheaded throughout the day.
AT ONE POINT he briefly donned a white ski jacket and fur hat.
More than 500 persons, mostly skiers and alpine troops, gave a cheering welcome to the Polish-born pope.
The foul weather forced cancellation of a ski parade planned by more than 60 instructors. Eberhard Schmalzli, captain of the Italian ski team, said he had reluctantly accepted the group's invitation for the 99-year-old pope to skim with them.
"I'm not suggesting the Holy Father may be out of ampute," Schmald said. "But I do feel the course is too hard to cope."
In his homily during the outdoor Mass, the pontifex referred often to the rain, which began falling an hour before his arrival and continued throughout his three-hour stay.
Recalling to the villagers the "good pope who was born here." John Paul II said, "He would have been smiling even now."
Eduardo Laciani, 60, younger brother of the late Pope,
greeted John Paul II in the garden of the three-story family
of his parents.
"The pope wanted to meet with members of the family, a total of 25 persons." Iacami said.

The amazing new Sharp 5100 is quite possibly the most important thing that's happened to calculators since calculators happened to math.
Here, at last, is a scientific calculator with direct formula entry, in algebraic terms. Even the most complex formulas can be entered and displayed just as they are written. Furthermore, your original entries can be visually edited, corrected, or tested. Which means there’s no need for machine-language encoding or decoding. Result: you save valuable time, and avoid the frustrating errors that might have slipped by you before.
THE SHARP 5100
And the incredible 5100 offers you a 24-character dot-matrix display that rolls right or left to accommodate one or more formulas totaling up to 80 steps. Store the formulas, when you need any segment, instant playback is at your fingertips. Incidentally, Sharp's own Safe Guard® features all external formulae and
stored data, even when the calculator is off. Corrections, insertions, or deletions? Make them quickly and precisely when and where you want, at any point in the calculation.
The 5100 makes the job of assimilating, studying, and problem-solving a lot easier for you. You skip past the drudgery of wasted time. You enjoy the convenience of a classroom tool that operates as fast as a professor can talk. And the 1,000-hour battery life could very well take you all the way.
through college.
Most importantly, the Sharp 5100 is smart enough to talk to you directly, and on your own terms.
And in your case, that's a major advantage
