Protestant Warnings. Such ecumenical experiments may well prove one way to end a continuing source of Catholic-Protestant conflict. Catholic canon law requires that the children of all mixed marriages be brought up as Catholics and that the Catholic partner work "prudently" for the conversion of his spouse. It does not even recognize the validity of any mixed marriage that is not celebrated before a priest. Despite such off-putting rules, roughly one-fourth of all Catholic marriages in the U.S. and Germany involve a non-Catholic partner-and there are thousands of other Catholics who, breaking canon law, marry...
...Canon law has insisted on priestly celibacy since the Middle Ages, although Eastern-Rite Catholic priests may marry before their ordination. But within the past 13 years, Popes have from time to time approved the ordination of a few convert Protestant ministers for whom leaving their families would be a heartless cruelty...
Scandinavians are reaching out in other media. Ingmar Bergman's tortured film canon, topped by The Silence, has built a worldwide movie cult unequaled by any Scandinavian since Garbo's girlhood. Half a dozen Swedish singers, from Kerstin Thorborg to Birgit Nilsson, commute between Stockholm's Royal Opera and Manhattan's Metropolitan. Swedish Economist Gunnar Myrdal, author of a classic study of the U.S. Negro and his problems, who went on to become executive sec retary of the U.N.'s Economic Commission for Europe, is currently writing what promises to be the definitive work...
...only say that I am appalled that Canon du Bois has chosen to make an issue out of the President's Communion [June 19]. Certainly the law of the Episcopal church supports Canon du Bois; yet, it seems to me that in this special case, at this crucial time, for this critically important man who carries so many of the burdens of the world on his shoulders, charity should have tempered the canon's judgment, urging him to keep a godly silence...
...Challenges. Canon law authorized Mclntyre's move, but he is such a strong-minded man that it was clear from the first he would brook no challenges. A year ago, when Swiss Theologian Hans Küng spoke to Catholics all over the U.S. on reform in the church, conservative Cardinal Mclntyre forbade him to talk at U.C.L.A. He does not like such liberal Catholic magazines as America, The Commonweal and Ave Maria, and so he has banned them from his archdiocesan seminary. Mclntyre was one of 19 cardinals who last year signed a statement protesting to the Vatican...
