Myers' proposal was greeted warmly by San Francisco's Roman Catholic Archbishop Joseph McGucken. "Do you want me to register a look of pleasant surprise?" he smilingly asked a press conference. Some Protestants and other Episcopalians were not so enthusiastic. Michigan's Episcopal Bishop Richard Emrich, a convinced ecumenist himself, warned that "one of the great facts of the world is not that you desire unity but that there are real differences of belief." One such difference was pointed out by the Rev. Carl Howie of San Francisco's Calvary Presbyterian Church: "In a large segment...
Died. Joseph Elmer Cardinal Ritter, 74, prelate of the archdiocese of St. Louis and one of his church's leading advocates of reform; of a heart attack; in St. Louis. Frail in body, but pure steel in will, he was the man who as Archbishop of St. Louis in 1947 stunned segregationists by ordering the integration of local parochial schools, and threatened to excommunicate opponents when they proposed legal action. Named a cardinal in 1960, he emerged at the Second Vatican Council as the unquestioned leader of progressive forces among the U.S. hierarchy, later executing many reform measures, giving...
Last week, when Pope Paul named 27 new cardinals, thereby raising membership in the college to an alltime high of 120, he fulfilled this prospectus to the letter. Archbishops Pierre Veuillot of Paris and Corrado Ursi of Naples-cities that over the centuries became accustomed to having cardinals-were elevated to the purple, along with 14 Vatican diplomats and curial officials. Archbishop Justinus Darmajuwana, 52, of Semarang, becomes the first Indonesian to sit in the college; German-born Archbishop Jose Clemente Maurer, 67, of Sucre will be the first Bolivian. Berlin's Archbishop Alfred Bengsch, who by choice lives...
...four Americans named by Paul raised U.S. representation in the college to nine-third highest after Italy (37) and France (10). Few Catholics were surprised by the Pope's choices. Archbishop John Krol, 56, of Philadelphia, a steely conservative, is the efficient vice president of the new U.S. bishops' conference. Chicago's business-like John Patrick Cody, 59, as head of the nation's largest archdiocese, was more or less automatically in line for a red hat. Archbishop Patrick O'Boyle, 70, of Washington, D.C., has a reputation within the church of being a sturdy...
...prelates are seconds-in-command to venerable conservatives who presumably will now be induced to retire. Both Angelo Dell'Acqua and Antonio Samoré, the two Vatican under secretaries of state, are considerably more open to church renewal than their superior, Amleto Cardinal Cicognani, 84. France's Archbishop Gabriel Garrone, 65, pro-prefect of the important Congregation for Seminaries, was one of the liberal leaders at the Second Vatican Council before he transferred to Rome as heir apparent to Giuseppe Cardinal Pizzardo...
