Family Calls Her Captive; Young Nun Rep lies: Nonsense
ATHENS. Greece (AIM —
ChiiMii** H Coryell, a 23-
year-ohl American girl wiih
Presbyterian paienis. denied
Saturday (amity Haim* that
she ix tM-ing held again*' her
Mill in a eniivent on a Creek
island.
She termed an account In
Washington t>\ her unele Fri-
day a* "imnsense."
Miss Coryell, whose latnily
lives ia Seattle. Wash., is *»ne
hi 10 nuns in the Monastery
of Evangelismoti on the tiny
Aegean islet uf OiniHisai near
the Island nf Chins facing
Turkey's enakt.
Miss Coryell m us reached
(mm Athena by telephone.
Her uncle. Don Coryell,
football iiiaoh at San Diego
Slute College in California,
• old newsmen in Washington
that his niece Mas a captive
of the convent and under the
"hynolle s|iell of the convent
abbess.”
Miss Coryell said her un-
cle's story Mas "completely
inaccurate."
"It has been entirely my
own decision and I have
made it without any coer-
cion. It has 1*1*11 h free deci-
sion and I have no intention
of changing It,” she said.
Miss Coryell said her fa-
ther had been to sec her at
the monastery In November
and tried to persuade her to
go back m ith him
"I told him that I Mauled
to make my own life at the
monastery and at the time I
thought he showed under-
standing as much as he
could," she added
She said her father Mas
presumably still in Athens
but she had not heard from
him since.
“However, parents never
want their children to go to
monasteries.” she said
Miss Coryell said she had
no word from her mother
over the past thr<*o months
except for a Christmas card.
Miss Coryell, who Mas con-
verted to the tiri*ek Orthodox
faith while studying Russian
at the University of Washing-
ton. said she m is quite hap-
py with monastic life.
"I had bi'eii thinking of be-
coming a nun for about three
years, but I made my d<i*i-
sion a Meek after visiting the
monastery at Ionousai, last
August."
She came to (1 recce from
Cyprus.
Her uncle identified the
convent abbess as a Mrs. Pa-
tera, but Miss Coryell said
she is the founder of the tun-
vent and not the abbess.
She said her relations with
Mrs. l’ateras Mere "very
good.”
Mrs. Pateras. a well-
known benefactor of the is-
land and a member of a
wealthy Greek family of
ship-owners, was admitted to
the nunnery in November,
she said. Miss Coryell her-
self must spend a year in the
monastery before her admit-
tance in accordance with Or-
thodox church canons.
She is the only fore.gner
among the 10 nuns
111 Seattle. Mrs. George
Coryell, the mother, said the
family has begun legal ac-
tion against the convent ab-
bess.
Don Coryell said in Wash-
ington his brother visited the
convent and found Christine
"in dire mental condition."
afraid to leave for fear her
soul would be lost.

Late Yule 6
If) Hill (••'urge
It all depends on how
you look at it Christmas
(u-as either IS days late or
3(7 days early at the Hen-
ry Sack residence m Okla-
homa City this year.
The main thing is Dale
Phillip Sack 21. who just
returned from Vietnam, is
home, and Friday night's
Yule time activities at 2113
SW 65 were for him
S-i Dale, with the 9th In-
fantry Division, originally
thought he would in* home
on Christmas day. But
something came up. as it
most often dties, and the
young soldier was delayed
for a couple of weeks.
So his parents, along
with sisters Karen. 16. and
Sheryl. 1!'. and a brother,
Hlchaid. 17. told Dale they
would wait until he did get
home.
The t r e e, decorations
and packages were left in-
tact.
And that big Christmas
dinner — steak, baked po-
tatoes. gravy, cherry tub-
bier and French vanilla ice
cream — tasted just as
g<* >d Friday night.
"It was the greatest."
Dale .said.
He said he was out in the
field on Christmas Eve in
Vietnam and U. S. helicop-
ters flew over with red and
green smoke streaming
from them.
"That was a good feeling
for all of us to see the
choppers reminding us of
Christmas, but believe me.
it's a greater feeling to lie
home with my family."
Dale, a U. S. Grant High
School graduate, plans in
attend Central State Col-
lege when he is discharged
in May. lie will be home
until the middle of Febru-
ary, at which tune he
leaves for Fort Knox. Ky.
Dale topped off the
"greatest Christmas ever"
with a present to himself
— he bought a new sports
ear Friday.

VATICAN CITY <AP> —
Pope Paul VI Saturday
named K g i d t o Cardinal
Vagnozzi. former apostolic
nuncio to the United
States, to head the Vati-
can's financial agency
Cardinal Vagnozzi. 61. el-
evated to the purple last
June, will head the Vati-
can's Prefecture for the
Commission of Economic
Affairs. The commission
was formed last August to
unify control of all the
church’s properties, liquid
assets and fiscal affairs.
Cardinal Vagnozzi ro-
places Angelo Cardinal
Dell'Aequa, 64. who had
held the post for less than
six months. Cardinal
Dell’Aequa was named vic-
ar general for Rome, suc-
re e d i n g Luigi Cardinal
Tragiia. 72-
Vatican informants said
the pope wanted to put in a
more active man as head
of the Rome diocese, as It-
aly moved Into a general
election year and the
church-stale issue came
under debate.
Cardinal T r a g I i a was
made Chancellor of the
Holy Roman Church, an of-
fice which requires less ac-
tivity.
As new head of the pre-
fecture, a sort of clearing
house for all Vatican finan-
cial operations, Cardinal
Vagnozzi will channel the
Vatican wealth to the var-
ious agencies and dioceses.
Vatican wealth has al-
way s been a well-kept si*-
cret. Estimates range up-
ward from about $5 billion.
Two years ago Italy's fi-
nance minister disclosed
that the Holy See received
a yearly equivalent ol S3.7
million in dividends This
would indicate holdings <>[
SJtHt million in Italy alone.
Cardinal Vagnozzi. who
once called himsell the
Pope's "Inspector general"
in the United Stales, has a
reputation of keeping close
tabs on financial matters
us well as clerics.
As apostolic nuncio to
the United States, he was
reported to have a strong
say In all American ap-
pointments and nomina-
tions II** also came in inn-
tact with the American
Catholic hierarchy, one of
the Vatican's main fund-
raisers.
H<* replaces Cardinal
Dell'Aequa as chairman of
the prefecture's commis-
sion, formed last Septem-
ber with Holland's Maxi-
milian Cardinal do Fur-
stenberg and American
Francis Cardinal Brennan
as oiher members.
