Last September Boff was invited to Rome for a discussion with Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, head of the Vatican's watchdog Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Boff recalls the four-hour meeting as "cordial--Ratzinger mainly just sat and listened." The cordiality may have been influenced by the presence at the Vatican of two of Brazil's most influential Cardinals, Paulo Evaristo Arns, Archbishop of Sao Paulo, and Aloisio Lorscheider, Archbishop of Fortaleza, who accompanied Boff on his trip...
...meeting grew more cordial when the two discussed the need for better relations. Tikhonov told Shultz he hoped to see him in Moscow soon. "Is that an invitation?" Shultz asked.

In what she described as a "cordial, direct and helpful" 35-minute telephone conversation, she politely asked the Archbishop what "mischaracterization" of the church position he had in mind. He cited a letter she had sent in 1982 to other Roman Catholic members of the House accompanying some literature from a group called Catholics for a Free...
Sort of. The Dallasites were open, cordial, if not quite as celebrative as one thought they would be. I had the feeling that Dallas was straining to enjoy itself, but that's to be expected if you pin such extravagant high hopes on enjoying yourself. To tell the truth, it was hard to see Dallas for the convention, and while the city seemed the apotheosis of Republicanism as long as Republicans were stomping about, it might look much different in quieter times. An obscure and special soul lies behind the reflecting towers and the crape myrtles and the still...
