PAPAL GREETING TO KRAKOW'S CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS

VATICAN CITY, APR 2, 2001 (VIS) - Today at noon in the Clementine Hall the Pope received a delegation of 80 people from the City Council of Krakow, Poland.

"The image of a city," said the Pope in a brief greeting, "is not only given by the external beauty of the streets, squares and buildings, but is also, and above all, in the lifestyle of its inhabitants from both a material and spiritual point of view. Civil authorities therefore, in making decisions regarding a city or other locale, must bear in mind, above all, the good of the inhabitants - their needs, their expectations and the prospects for complete development. Today this is especially important."
