...COMMUNISM: Thanks to Pope John's new opening toward the East, Roman Catholicism "may succeed in reaching a sensible accord with Communist countries before Protestants do." Unchanged are Earth's often-argued views that "the subtle forms of materialist atheism in the West are a much graver threat to Christianity than the overtly trumpeted atheism of the Communists. I don't take this Communist atheism too dramatically. At least we know where we stand with them...
...super-minority-the classic fall guy, mocked and persecuted even by his fellow Negroes.
