What is the purpose of this combustion? Just as night most vividly defines day, Grotowski believes that blasphemy against a taboo re-creates a sense of the holy. If a man were to defecate on a church altar, for example, even a confirmed atheist would feel some sense of shock. In that shock, in the very act of profanation, some sense of the sacred would be reborn and reconfirmed. Opposites imply each other. Grotowski shows an audience the passion of man, his agony, his desolation, his death, and above all the violation of his body and his spirit. By portraying...
Prosperous Clientele. The Michigan service is similar to one originated in 1967 by the Rev. Howard R. Moody of New York's Judson Memorial Church that has been copied-with modifications-by more than 100 community or state groups. Wherever new units are formed, the response is surprisingly strong. Four months ago, the Michigan ministers installed a telephone-answering service that was publicized in newspapers and through the highly efficient grapevine that connects women who have or have had unwanted pregnancies...

Sindona and Pope Paul closed a deal that started a shift of profound consequence in the Holy...
Escaping the Onus. Actually, the sale of Immobiliare reflected the Pope's decision that church control of major Italian companies had become a liability. The Vatican owns some $200 million worth of stock in Italian firms. The church until recently either controlled or owned a substantial part of at least a dozen important enterprises, including cement-making Italcementi, paper-manufacturing Cartiere Burgo, pasta-making Molini Biondi and Vianini, a major engineering firm. The investments provide a handsome income to help defray the huge cost of running the papal establishment. But social unrest is growing in Italy. Anxious to align...
