...Administration remains to be seen. But Dillon's willingness to answer questions, and his unfailing tact and politeness, not only impressed the Senators but also showed that the precise policies of the Kennedy Administration are still open to discussion. Said Tennessee's Senator Albert Gore: "I must confess I did not approve of your selection. But you may not be as bad a fellow as I thought you were...
...attach ecclesiastical penalties. Two weeks ago, while all three bishops were absent from the island, Father Thomas Maisonet, pastor of San Juan Cathedral, took it on himself to attach a penalty: he warned that Catholics who disobeyed the pastoral letters must not only confess but must also promise, as a condition of absolution, not to support Muñoz' party in the future unless it changed its "anti-Catholic, antiChristian" philosophy, e.g., its opposition to religious instruction in public schools.

Speaking on his own authority, but evidently with the bishops' backing, Maisonet also said that, to gain absolution, penitents must promise not to support the P.D.P. in the future unless it changes its philosophy...
...Cardinal Gerlier wrote a foreword to a book by Founder Schutz explaining Taizé's Rule, a book that was brought out by a Catholic publishing house. "Tomorrow's generations," says Brother-Prior Schutz, "will have less and less patience with the division of Christians into different confessions. They will no longer tolerate the loss of energy used to legitimatize confessional positions, while -by the dizzying increase of population-men without knowledge of God grow more numerous day by day. It is not enough to love only those who confess Jesus Christ as I do and pray...
