...only opposition force to survive state repression, and it is under constant attack.

In a church whose central government is still dominated by Europeans, it was significant that the top vote getter was Aloisio Cardinal Lorscheider, 53, of Brazil, an energetic leader in preparation of Synod papers despite his undergoing open-heart surgery a year ago. Right behind him came Archbishop Joseph Bernardin of Cincinnati, 49, outgoing president of the U.S. bishops. As in 1974, not one Italian bishop was elected to the three slots reserved for Europeans...
