...dubious that many took to heart Professor Fairbank's caution: "They are no model unless we go backward in material terms... Their inspiration for us is very superficial." Nor his earlier one referring to the changing attitudes toward China since the 50s: "They're the same people... the same Mao... It's an anti-individualistic society but we admire it... I suggest we face a contradiction. We can admire a people living on a not admirable basis, but achieving something, and not admire ourselves...

Though the price rises have squeezed people living on pensions or subsisting in marginal jobs, European incomes generally are still rising faster than living costs. Consequently, several European governments are talking a stern fight against inflation, but their actions have usually shown more caution than vigor.

It set forth stiff new standards for a bishop's lifestyle (he should be "internally and externally poor"; his house should be "modest") and cautioned bishops to avoid "authoritarianism" and to respect "liberty of opinion." But it left little room for dissenting opinion from bishops themselves. Their duty is to be "tuned in with the church." They should "exercise great caution" in discussing publicly the problems of the church, "even if urgent, still very complicated and difficult...
