...typical of doctrinal questions submitted by Roman Catholic readers seeking guidance from the American Ecclesiastical Review, a monthly magazine for the clergy published by Washington's Catholic University of America. The answer to this particular question, written by one of the church's top U.S. experts in canon law, is a statement of a Catholic position that is puzzling to most Protestants and some Roman Catholics. Wrote the Very Rev. Francis J. Connell: "According to the ideas of 'intercredal fellowship and brotherhood' current in the United States, and accepted by many Catholics, the Catholic organization performed...
British law recognizes divorce; priests of England's state church are thus legally entitled-like other ministers-to remarry divorced people. But if they do, they face a growing current of conservatism within the Church of England. The draft of a canon flatly prohibiting remarriage of the divorced has long been creeping through official Anglican channels on its way to becoming church law, and last month it reached the Convocation of Canterbury.

...Captured Canons. Communist regimes use two methods of taking over a diocese. First they find that standard fixture, the "frustrated canon," a clergyman of some intelligence and much ambition who needs little convincing that he can run things better than the bishop.

His hearing aid was actually a chuleta, a two-way phone with a wire running from the student to the back of the large classroom, where an accomplice...
John Austin, whose music is familiar to Harvard audiences, was represented by two sets of pieces: Five Settings of a Locrian chorale, for piano, and Four Modal Canons, for two violins and viola. The first group is not very good; the second, much better. Austin's piano music is an agglomeration of modal progressions, cast in big thick chords insensitively connected. There is nothing particularly cerebral in his style. Little is said. The same applies to the Canons. There-part canon at the unison or octave is difficult to write, since the harmonies during the imitations are somewhat limited...
