Having rejected that argument by condemning Dodd, the Senate nonetheless is under considerable public pressure to produce an ethics code that provides explicit guidelines for members' behavior-and to do it soon. "Such a code is mandatory," says Majority Leader Mike Mansfield. "We all suffered." Predicts perennial Watchdog John Williams of Delaware: "We'll do it before we go home."

For the moment at least, the encyclical would still public argument within the church on the issue, but it was unlikely to change the feeling of clerics who regard celibacy as a burden that is heavy without being sweet. Within the past three years, no fewer than 4,000 priests have asked Rome to release them from their vows in order to marry. A poll conducted...
