...least 20 priests are known to have written Rome about the problem, and the officers of the Priests' Senate have discussed various kinds of appeals. They decided that the uproar from such tactics would only harm the church. Senate President Raymond Goedert, a nationally recognized expert on canon law who has emerged as the major counterforce to Cody in Catholic Chicago, seems to be advocating some such action however. "It is my opinion," he wrote to members of the senate, "that we are faced with a pastoral problem of serious proportion, and the only way to a peaceful solution...
...dutifully cranking out' paintings of social-realist cliches at the dictation of unnamed 'drillmasters.' No such body of work by Kline exists. To support his thesis, all Wolfe can produce is one picture from the 40s-and even it is too expressionist to fit the strict canon of social realism...
...liveliest skirmishes for women's rights these days seem to be taking place within the Episcopal Church, which limits its priesthood to men. In the latest confrontation, an Ohio church court found Oberlin's Rev. L. Peter Beebe guilty of breaking canon law by letting women with disputed ordinations celebrate Communion. As in the similar case of Washington, D.C.'s William Wendt (TIME, June 16), the court recommended that the bishop merely admonish Beebe, but it also proposed that he be suspended if he did it again. In effect the five judges backed Beebe by calling...
...orthodoxies fade and die. When they do, it becomes apparent how much space was left between their lines-and, occasionally, what interesting talents were excluded from the canon. At that point, artists who had been around all the time are greeted as if they were new arrivals. One of these, at present, is Beverly Pepper, 51, a sculptor who has lived in Italy for the past 24 years and has two shows of her work running in New York: indoor pieces and projects at the downtown André Emmerich Gallery, and "monumental" steel sculpture on the terrace of Hammarskj...
Bishop Maher's position is severe by any measure. Catholic canon law provides that women or doctors who intentionally involve themselves in abortions are automatically excommunicated, but Maher is now denying the Eucharist on the basis of individuals' personal beliefs about the matter. Before it was modified, his outright ban on NOW membership was unusually extreme. Historically, Catholic bans on specific organizations have been rare and have involved only groups like the Masons, which the church opposed for many years as essentially anti-Catholic...
