Although a kindly man in person, Ottaviani was a symbol of repressive Catholic conservatism and a leader of the stand-fast minority at the Second Vatican Council. Ottaviani's successor is Yugoslavia's Franjo Cardinal Seper, 62, the Archbishop of Zagreb. As his country's unofficial primate since 1960, Seper (pronounced "shaper") has pursued a course of accommodation with Tito; at the recent Synod of Bishops in Rome he was overwhelmingly elected by his fellow prelates to head its commission on theology...

The protesters cited Pope Paul's encyclical Populorum Progressio and the Vatican Council's Constitution on the Church in the Modern World in arguing against...
Moynihan also argues that "an era of great public works is as much needed in America as any other single element in our public life."
