...position I see fit" and that, "the laity does not have a say in the appointment of priests and it will be a sad day when they do." His actions, however, carried ramifications far beyond mere clerical appointments. For the leftist leanings of the H-R ministry were in constant friction with Church superiors and its termination is symptomatic of a swing in the Catholic Church from a tolerance of the more radical activist posture of the late sixties and early seventies, to the more conservative and reflective Church of today...
...worrying about how I would remember the fever of Watergate. I was afraid I would forget, and it is something we should never forget. Perhaps All the President's Men [March 29] should be rerun at regular intervals as a constant reminder to keep our guard up against its ever happening again...
