PopeCancelsCelebration; Conviction Outrage Cited VATICAN CITY, March 3 (,?)—Pope Pius XII today canceled the March 12 anniversary celebration of his coro nation. A communique said he acted because of "the present condition of bitterness, sadness and outrage" over the con viction of a bishop in an Italian court. The action was without precedent in Vatican history. It demonstrated dramatically the Pope’s and the Roman Cath olic Church’s concern over the conviction Saturday by a Florence court of the bishop of. Prato. The 42-year-old bishop. Pie tro Fiordelli, v?as found guilty : on a charge of defamation. The I charge was brought by Mario j Bellandi, 32-year-old grocer of I Prato, and his 23-year-old wife. Loriana, who were married in a civil ceremony. Civil weddings are legal in Italy. The bishop had called them “public sinners” because they re fused a church wedding. Bellandi. a former Communist, was described by his attorney as an atheist. Communists and some others have taken up the case as a po litical issue, claiming it shows Vatican dominance in Italian af fairs. The communique announcing the cancellation, published by the L'Osservalor Romano, said the Pope had received expres sions of sorrow over the verdict from many parts of the world. It said the Pope decided to take, the action ‘in the present condi tion of bitterness, sadness and outrage committeed in Italy against the Church.” | The court awarded the Prato grocer and his wife $672 dam ages, but suspended a $64 fine.
