Some Catholic theologians including Moralist Bernard Haring have argued in recent years that they are part of the church's evolving magisterium, or teaching power. Theological Commission members-who range from Bishop Carlo Colombo, Pope Paul's favorite theologian, to progressives like Congar and German Jesuit Karl Rahner -now seem willing to accept a more tangential role. The Pope defined that role for them last month when he addressed them as "specialists of the science and of the intelligence of the faith." As for the magisterium, Paul VI has made it clear over the years that he considers...
...killing, even of criminals by criminals, is an affront to the community -but most people do not become indignant until innocent bystanders are involved. The latest incident occurred in the Neopolitan Noodle, a restaurant on Manhattan's Upper East Side that is frequented by members of the Colombo gang. The Gallo clan, bent on revenging the assassination of Crazy Joey Gallo (TIME, April 17), began staking out the restaurant in hope of catching the Colombos off guard. One night recently, a Gallo spy spotted four Colombo men gathered at the bar and quickly left to flash word...
...considering that the ship tourist gets room and board for a voyage of up to eleven days. The government-owned Italian Line has little to lose from this bargain-price experiment because the 500 tourist-class cabins in its four ships-the Michelangelo, Raffaello, Leonardo da Vinci and Cristoforo Colombo-have been sailing at only 20% occupancy. Italian Line officials figure that they may not make money on the students-food alone will cost up to $100 a head on each sailing -but that once introduced to the indulgent joys of sailing, young travelers will continue to choose nautical over...
...continuing gang war between New York City's embattled Mafia clans has deteriorated from messy to just plain murky. The showdown began openly enough when reputed Mafia Chieftain Joe Colombo was gunned down last year at an outdoor rally for his Italian-American Civil Rights League. Then in April "Crazy Joe" Gallo, Colombo's archenemy, was assassinated in the relative privacy of a Little Italy clam house. Last month the nephew of Carlo Gambino, boss of the nation's strongest Mafia family and a Colombo ally, was kidnaped...
...Colombo arrests gave the Gallos a chance to breathe a bit more easily -and perhaps longer. But they know that Mafia contracts are out for Joey's brother Albert, Joey's bodyguard and three other Gallo hoods. The Gallos, in turn, are gunning for a top Colombo member, a New England gangster allied with Colombo and Alley Boy. Seemingly unworried, Persico quickly posted $5,000 bail and flew off to visit his brother in Atlanta...
