...Edmund Hall, Oxford, where in pre-war days flanneled undergraduates lolled on the lawn of the quadrangle around an ancient well, there was an unprecedented gathering last week of the Archbishops of Canterbury, York, and Wales, the Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, the diocesan bishops of England, Wales, Scotland. Save for the decennial worldwide Lambeth Conference, Britain's episcopate had never before gathered in one conference. But as Malvern showed, the Church of England has lost its smugness.

...Broadcast," after a radio address which the late, well-beloved George William Cardinal Mundelein made from the Vatican. With the liberal Cardinal's approval, the "Big Broadcast" declined to take sides in the late Spanish war, which most of the Catholic press believed "holy." When nearly every other diocesan paper ran the heavily loaded dispatches, with canned headlines, of the official U. S. Catholic news agency, skeptical Father Rowan tossed many in the wastebasket, rewrote many another...
