Died. Leo C. Byrne, 66, Coadjutor Archbishop of St. Paul-Minneapolis and vice president of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops; of heart failure; in St. Paul. Theologically conservative, Byrne was a social activist who supported Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers' grape and lettuce boycotts. At the 1971 World Synod of Bishops in Rome, Byrne urged that "no argument should be used to exclude women from any service to the church if it stems from male prejudice or blind adherence to merely human tradition...
...taxable property," an Episcopal magazine maintains. The Living Church, an independent, conservative-leaning weekly, bases its argument on last month's antiwar rally of the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, held in the cathedral with the permission of New York's Episcopal Bishop Coadjutor, the Rt. Rev. Paul Moore Jr. A church should not be used for "partisan political gatherings," remonstrates the magazine in an editorial, citing the availability of "Dump Nixon" pamphlets at the rally. What is more, the magazine complains, the crowds smoked, left beer cans in the pews, and even included...
Mclntyre's successor is not likely to invite such confrontations. At 60, Archbishop Timothy J.

Last week Iron John Dearden, one of four new American cardinals chosen by the Pope, proved that he is a man of much more flexible steel. He approved a long list of recommendations, put forward by a lay-dominated synod, that makes Detroit a model of democratically guided reform in the post-Vatican II church...
...church crisis deepened, Spain's eager young priests could count on a valuable new ally: Monsignor Marcelo González Martín, 48, who was installed last week as coadjutor, chief troubleshooter and heir apparent of Barcelona's archbishop. Though Monsignor González is non-Catalán in a rabidly Catalán diocese, he very quickly won over his first congregation at Barcelona's Gothic Santa Eulalia Cathedral, shunning the tiresome platitudes that his audience was so accustomed to. "I promise you," Monsignor González said with feeling and warmth, "that...
