Last week Bishop Reeves asked to be released from the congregation he can no longer serve. Cape Town's Archbishop Joost de Blank, who is as bitter a critic of apartheid as Reeves himself, accepted his resignation. "A sorry day indeed has dawned for a people that claims to be devout and God-fearing," said Archbishop de Blank. "Many will see it as a victory of anti-Christian forces in this country when a man is outlawed for obedience to the Christian Gospel as he sees...
Last week's meeting produced a manifesto by the N.C.W.C.'s board chairman, Archbishop Karl J. Alter of Cincinnati: "In the event that a federal aid program is enacted which excludes children in private schools, these children will be the victims of discriminatory legislation. There will be no alternative but to oppose such discrimination." The N.C.W.C.'s counterproposal, which it holds to be "strictly" constitutional, is that "longterm, low-interest loans to private institutions could be part of the federal aid program." The hierarchy will push to attach such an amendment to the Kennedy bill...
...tiny-minority argument is valid in Georgia and South Carolina, what of heavily Roman Catholic New Orleans, where Catholics have wound up in the same dilemma of spirit v. reality?

"A plump and pampered poodle might run all the more gaily after a reduced diet, simpler fare, and perhaps after having been denied a visit to the hair stylist. If this suggestion seems odd, turn to the third chapter of the Book of Jonas, in which...
...different kind of cry was raised in England at the archbishop's words. Senior Scientist Rufus Bowden of the Animal Health Trust: "An animal doesn't understand what fasting is. It might be worried if its food did not arrive. It would wonder what it had done wrong." Comedian Charlie Chester: "It's all bilge. If I want to help the hungry, I won't drag my poodle Sasha into it." N. J. Lambert of the Canine Defense League: "The cardinal's idea seems fatuous. It would be punishing the animals. They would not know...
