...open-spirited tone of Pope John's encyclical Pacem in Terris, Paul VI last year set up a Vatican Secretariat for Nonbelievers to organize a dialogue with atheists, including Communists. Now, Marxist Roger Garaudy, the leading theoretician of the French Communist party, has written a book called From Anathema to Dialogue to "answer in a fraternal manner the appeal addressed to all" by Roman Catholicism. Praising it in the conservative Paris daily Le Figaro, French Novelist François Mauriac urged his fellow Catholics to "buy this book by a Communist" and read it. German Jesuit Theologian Karl Rahner...
...Jesuit John Courtney Murray, whose theories on church-state relations provided background for the religious-liberty statement. In the wake of this progressive victory has come what Dominican Edward Schillebeeckx of Nijmegen University calls "the triumph of anti-triumphal ism"-the rejection by the council of the world-hating, anathema-hurling Counter Reformation conviction that Catholicism alone possessed the truth of life. In contrast to past councils, which devoted much of their time consigning to eternal flames those who did not agree with majority decisions, Vatican II issued no such condemnations.

So, unable to stop the show and concerned that it might prove too arduous for elderly Senators, Majority Leader Mike Mansfield ruled out the seriocomic...
...based in Algiers, ordered exiles to stop their political activities or leave the country. As if to prove his good intentions last week, the government newspaper El Moudja-hid published long front-page tributes to Upper Volta and the Ivory Coast, two of the African countries whose moderation was anathema to Ben Bella. One of Boumedienne's motives, of course, was to win support for the rescheduled Afro-Asia Summit Conference in Algiers, which was postponed two months ago when Ben Bella was toppled from power. The new target date now is Nov. 5, and Boumedienne...
