The U.F.T. fears that decentralization would break up its power base and leave teachers vulnerable to the whims of unstable...
...debate comes down to is two views of papal authority. To Cardinal O'Boyle, the case is clear-cut. Although the encyclical is not an infallible pronouncement, he sees it as an authoritative teaching of the church that must be obeyed.
