...workers' demand for recognition of their right to organize was explicitly endorsed in a statement signed by California's eight Roman Catholic bishops, including James Francis Cardinal McIntyre of Los Angeles and Archbishop Joseph McGucken of San Francisco. Citing papal encyclicals and documents of the Second Vatican Council, the bishops warned that "unless farm workers are given a chance to organize, they are going to become the wards of the state." Episcopal Bishop James A. Pike of San Francisco urged his congregants to join the march in sympathy. The National Council of Churches formally endorsed the strike...
...years has headed a volunteer movement designed to lift a few Sicilian villages out of a squalor unmatched in Europe and to raise the inhabitants from the torpor of despair. Dolci (TIME, April 9, 1956) has been proposed for the Nobel Peace Prize, denounced by the Cardinal Archbishop of Palermo; he has won the support of many Communists and some Jesuits, been threatened by the Mafia, and been prosecuted for obscenity by the Italian government for his book Report from Palermo. In common with most of those on the church's Calendar of Saints, Dolci makes no sense...
...will follow you," sniffed Cyprus' bearded Archbishop Makarios to retired Greek Army Colonel George Grivas. The year was 1951, and the two were meeting in Cyprus to discuss Grivas' plan for an armed uprising against the British.

Only this time, their disagreement was threatening the six-month-old government of Greek Premier Stephan Stephanopoulos...
...visit to the Vatican last week by the Most Rev. Michael Ramsey, Anglican Primate of All England, was shadowed by enmities past and lighted by amity present. Apart from a 1960 "courtesy visit" to John XXIII by Ramsey's predecessor, Geoffrey Fisher, no Archbishop of Canterbury had called on a Pope since Archbishop Arundel went to see Boniface IX in 1397, long before Henry VIII broke with Rome. Distrust of the papacy still persists strongly in Britain. Hitchhiking aboard the airliner winging Ramsey to Rome were five unwelcome ministers of Baptist and Presbyterian sects, who on arrival doffed their...
...Growing in Unity." Pope Paul VI and the 100th Archbishop of Canterbury met in a site suitable to the historicity of the encounter: the Sistine Chapel, where Popes are chosen and, upon death, rest in state. Beneath the fading colors of Michelangelo's vision of the Last Judgment, Paul and Canterbury sat on identical red brocade and gilt chairs. Canterbury addressed the Pope as "Your Holiness, dear brother in Christ," and as his main point said: "It is only as the world sees us Christians growing visibly in unity that it will accept through us the divine message...
