...recent decades become the pugnacious defender of orthodoxy. Matt admits that his paper is "roughhewn" and quips that intellectuals order it in a "plain brown envelope." In a series of articles criticizing reforms in the Archdiocese of Detroit, a Wanderer writer hit its progressive archbishop, John Cardinal Dearden, particularly hard, even suggested that he might be "a major heretic, one of the worst the Catholic Church has ever suffered from."

In his opening speech last week, the Pontiff warned the delegates not to yield to the "particular danger" of pressures from the outside world, including either praise or criticism from the press or broadcasters.
