...churchgoing, baptized Christian, I object to Fundamentalist Jerry Falwell's religion-in-politics campaign [Oct. 1]. He is using the Cross of Christ to pound a political drum. Jesus came to seek and save all people. He speaks to all, regardless of political persuasion. Falwell's view that God loves America above all nations is simply blasphemous...
...market break came on Tuesday. That was when the naition's banks reopened after the Columbus Day holiday, and made their response to the Fed's discount-rate rise.

At the Chicago meeting with the U.S. church hierarchy, he praised American bishops for their doctrinal unity with the papacy. But their unity was anything but total.
