...weeks before the new ordinations, Pope Paul issued dire warnings no fewer than three times. At a weekly audience last month, he pointedly stated that "Jesus himself admits the possibility of excluding from fraternal communion" anyone who threatens the unity of the church. On June 20 the Pope sent the archbishop a personal, handwritten letter beseeching him to obey Rome. At a ceremony to install new cardinals, just two days before the ordinations, Paul issued his final plea. "Our predecessors, to whose discipline he presumes to appeal," Paul said, "would not have tolerated a disobedience as obstinate...
...traumas often veer toward the neo-Gothic, with social secretaries replacing spinster govenesses, and gay cousins occupying closets that mad old women once inhabited. Auchincloss also occasionally mires himself in melodramatic ramblings that he evidently perceives as powerful prose ("Orgasm with David was like the raising of a communion cup before an altar that knew no sacrament but love.") but these indulgent tirades are only sporadic; Auchincloss is generally a smooth and vivid writer...

...collective Isaac. The Lampoon cannot, therefore, sacrifice itself in order to affirm the Absurd truth it hopes to represent. The members of the Lampoon should not be expected to take the final step backwards (tripping on the banana peel as they do so), and arrive at a Religious communion with the Absurd. They will continue to reject through humor rather than accept through humor for as long as they need the Law as straight man. This is why the grey agreement reached last week between the administration, HRBSA, and the Lampoon will not be adhered to by the members...
...bishops also came close to endorsing a much-disputed liturgical change advocated by A Call to Action: letting worshipers receive the Communion wafer in the hand instead of on the tongue if they prefer. If enough additional bishops endorse the change in a mail ballot, the proposal will go to the Vatican for final approval. Many conservatives are deeply upset about the new practice, which they consider irreverent. John Cardinal Carberry of St. Louis even warned that wafers might be taken and used in satanic masses...
