Poland's powerful Catholic Church has also played a key role in the national renewal. Archbishop Jozef Glemp, named last week to succeed the late Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski as Primate (see RELIGION), promised to continue the Cardinal's policies. But, though the church has won some important concessions, such as the right to broadcast Sunday Mass, some clerics fear that its influence as a unique voice of Polish nationalism may diminish with the rise of political pluralism...
...Church of England does not yet permit its remarried members to receive Communion, though it does authorize the bishop in charge of a diocese to make exceptions. Last February's synod meeting voted in principle to rescind that prohibition. However, a committee headed by the popular new Archbishop of Canterbury, Robert Runcie, must prepare regulations on both remarriage ceremonies and Communion, and the synod must pass them, before the liberalization is final.

Pirie Macdonald '54 ably doubles as the conspiring Scroop and the Scottish officer Jamy. And Robert Stattel is a commendably solid Duke of Exeter...
...only jarring note in Marcos' week of triumph, which was also attended by high officials from China and the Soviet Union, was his continuing feud with the Roman Catholic Church, whose leaders he had angered during the election campaign. Jaime Cardinal Sin, Archbishop of Manila, issued a statement assailing "frontal attacks" on the church and accusing the state of "making a mockery of the constitutional provision regarding freedom of religion."

...pivotal man in the Vatican's hopes for a diplomatic bridgehead in Communist China. The government not only freed him from prison last year but recognized him as head of the Canton diocese. Tang later went to Rome, and Pope John Paul II named him permanent Archbishop of Canton. But Archbishop Tang had barely reached Hong Kong before Peking stripped him of office. China Daily complained that in receiving a papal appointment, Tang had violated the independence and dignity of the autonomous Chinese church. Now he is only a bishop-in-exile...
