...scholars are at work on brand-new translations of Scripture; eventually, they hope to gain ecclesiastical permission to fuse their two versions into one joint translation. Scholarly Catholic missionaries are collaborating with Protestant ministers in translating the Bible into Singhalese, Indonesian, Swahili, Zulu and Japanese. In Wales the Catholic Archbishop of Cardiff has agreed to cooperate with the Protestant and Anglican churches in sponsoring a new translation into Welsh. Many French Protestant churches use the excellent "Jerusalem Bible," translated by Dominican Fathers Roland de Vaux, Pierre Benoit and other Catholic scholars of Jordan's Ecole Biblique...
...doctorate was the last straw. On May 25, while Pope John XXIII was dying, Rome's Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities issued an instruction that would require Catholic universities to get clearance from Rome before awarding honorary degrees. The author of the decree is believed to be Archbishop Dino Staffa, who is the chief assistant to Giuseppe Cardinal Pizzardo, the congregation's conservative prefect...
...Stupidities. Explaining the instruction last week, Staffa argued that Catholic universities have recently been giving out too many honorary degrees, often to men who are "not worthy of merit." Asked if Küng, who is a peritus (theological expert) of the Vatican Council, fell into this category, the archbishop replied that "there are many periti of the council who speak stupidities." As far as Küng is concerned, "if we give honorary doctorates to him, it would seem that we approve his ideas." Staffa claimed that the instruction is still under study by the congregation, but many schools...

Three weeks ago, Athenagoras I, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and first among equals of the Orthodox prelates, invited the other Eastern churches to meet at Rhodes on Sept. 19 to reconsider the question of Vatican observers. But last week Archbishop Chrysostomos of Greece flatly rejected Paul's appeal, calling the Roman church "centralist and absolutist." Were the decision left up to him alone, Athenagoras might be quite willing to send a delegate. Yet for the sake of Orthodox unity, he will not send an observer unless all other Eastern churches...
...Tone. But Washington's Roman Catholic Archbishop Patrick O'Boyle saw an advance copy of the Lewis speech, considered it an incitement to riot, and straight out refused to deliver an invocation to the ceremonies unless Lewis agreed to tone it down. Leaders of other civil rights organizations pleaded with Lewis. He finally gave in, but not very far. In his changed version, he said Kennedy's bill could be supported, but only with "great reservations." And he promised to "splinter the segregated South into a thousand pieces and put them back together again in the image...
