...mine -"enough to blow up every building in Nicosia," according to one newspaper. Soon afterward, bombs began to explode at random points throughout the island (see map), and a police station was seized temporarily. The attacks were aimed not at the Turkish Cypriot community but at the policies of Archbishop Makarios, the island's President. Makarios was re-elected in 1968 on a platform of "a feasible solution rather than the desirable solution"-meaning that he had discarded enosis as a practical goal and hoped to turn his anguished island into a unified republic...
...same report, Archbishop Helder Câmara of Olinda and Recife in northeastern Brazil recounts the "barbarous assassination" of a 28-year-old priest. "What is particularly grave about this crime," he writes, "is the virtual certainty that it was part of a premeditated series." Last week the outspoken prelate visited Pope Paul in Rome to tell him personally about the "spiral of violence" in his country...

After surveying Brazil's 245 bishops, a special Vatican envoy found that only 15 firmly support the military regime, while 40 have joined Archbishop Câmara in publicly opposing the government; most of the other 190 lean toward the left.

Mclntyre's successor is not likely to invite such confrontations. At 60, Archbishop Timothy J. Manning, appointed last year as coadjutor archbishop with right of succession, is a man curiously like Pope Paul himself, progressive in social matters, conservative in doctrine. A longtime auxiliary bishop in Los Angeles, and later bishop of Fresno, County Cork-born Manning will probably be quicker than his predecessor to put into use Vatican-approved reforms such as the new Mass. If he is not likely to look kindly on avant-garde experimentation or liberal views on doctrine, he will, unlike Mclntyre, almost certainly...
