Taking Guff. The give and take was so informal at times that some of the participants were actually shouting at the bishops. The prelates, in turn, took their knocks with considerable grace. When he was asked how Catholics could communicate better with their bishops, the Most Rev. Peter L. Gerety of Portland, Me., replied: "Just yell." One priest complained angrily that he had just been "slandered across the diocese by my bishop." Boise's Bishop Sylvester W. Treinen, for his part, said: "I've taken more guff from priests than I've given...
...serve as town halls where local problems can be threshed out and the people protected from the world below before they reach the haven of heaven above. The Premier has already remembered his church at Elaiohorion by giving it new pews and a lectern, an icon stand and a bishop's chair.

Last week Iron John Dearden, one of four new American cardinals chosen by the Pope, proved that he is a man of much more flexible steel. He approved a long list of recommendations, put forward by a lay-dominated synod, that makes Detroit a model of democratically guided reform in the post-Vatican II church...
...another Curia official, Bishop Jan Willebrands, the brilliant Dutch prelate who long served the late Augustin Cardinal Bea in the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity, is among the new cardinals and will likely succeed Bea as head of the Secretariat in name as well as in fact. The selection of men like Willebrands may help mollify some Catholic liberals who had hoped to see a synod of bishops eventually take over the functions of the College of Cardinals-a development now hardly likely with the promotion of so many princes...
