...great gap between church teaching and practice troubles Cincinnati's Archbishop Joseph L. Bernardin, president of the U.S. Bishops' Conference. Said Bernardin in an interview in U.S. Catholic: "So many consider themselves good Catholics, even though their beliefs and practices seem to conflict with the official teaching in the church. This is almost a new concept of what it means to be a Catholic today...
...orders, other nuns, laywomen-some 1,200 in all-met in Detroit last November to discuss and coordinate their cause. Says Elizabeth Carroll, a Sister of Mercy working at Washington's Center of Concern: "The arguments for women in the priesthood are unassailable." The bishops do not agree.

A possible explanation: Paul named as cardinals only two of the nine members of the permanent secretariat elected by the 1974 international Synod of Bishops, thus bypassing Bernardin and other likely candidates. By one Roman reading, he is retaliating against the synod, which aroused papal anxiety with its bold...
...excommunicated and banned from performing priestly functions. If the Vatican should give him permission to become a layman, the decree of excommunication could be lifted, and he could eventually be married within the church. Both Groppis hope for absolution and this week have an appointment to talk with Milwaukee Archbishop William Cousins...
