Died. The Rt. Rev. Joost de Blank, 59, former Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town; of a stroke; in London. Arriving in South Africa in 1957, the Dutch-born prelate raged against apartheid, calling for an end to the government's racist policies, opening his cathedral doors to all races, criticizing the Dutch Reformed Church for its failure to denounce apartheid-all of which stirred an uproar that did not subside until he moved to London in 1963 as Canon of Westminster Abbey...
...Francisco recently, Roman Catholic Archbishop Joseph McGucken signed the final contracts to build an $8,000,000 replacement for the old, Gothic St. Mary's Cathedral, which burned to the ground in 1962. Much to his surprise, a group of priests and laymen objected to his plans for the cathedral, on the grounds that the money should be used instead for humanitarian projects such as low-cost housing for the poor. The protesters cited Pope Paul's encyclical Populorum Progressio and the Vatican Council's Constitution on the Church in the Modern World in arguing against...
...example, the archdiocese of Mil waukee once affixed the approval of Archbishop William E.

Although the book was later honored by the Catholic Press Association as the year's outstanding American theological work, Archbishop Robert E. Lucey of San Antonio recently denounced it as "openly heretical" on at least two counts. McKenzie retorted that Lucey should either withdraw his complaints or make formal charges of heresy to Rome...
...historical figures have captured literary imaginations as thoroughly as Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was murdered 800 years ago at the instigation of his King and former friend, Henry II. T. S. Eliot's play Murder in the Cathedral and Jean Anouilh's play and film Becket examined the irresistible character who, upon slipping into clerical garb, warned his King that he would serve his new divine master as faithfully as he had served his old human one. He became a devoted protector of church rights and, inevitably, a resolute enemy of his monarch. Richard Winston...
