...Rochester, Bishop Sheen seemed to have no trouble making the transition from an imaginative interpreter of Catholic dogma to a shepherd, and he turned into an enthusiastic innovator for his flock. He democratized the administration of his diocese: he permitted his 583 priests to elect his chief aide, the vicar-general; he set up a clerical advisory council of elected members, and invited the auditing of the diocese's finances by a lay committee. One of his first moves was to appoint the Rev. P. David Finks, a youthful clergyman involved in civil rights causes, to serve...

...these positions were guided not by ideology but by a pragmatic judgment of what was good for the country's economic development as well as that country's people. I pray that dogma, anybody's dogma, will never take over the task of making such decisions...

When this stance was undermined by modern cosmography and anthropology, the church began promoting instead increasingly reason-divorced myth-dogma, e.g., the immaculate conception and bodily assumption of St. Mary. At least the implication was "Here is myth for myth's sake, it's good for your souls," a kind of return to Tertullian's "Credo quia absurdum." Now suddenly there is a new obsession with narrow historicity...

...that standard, Roman Catholicism is surely alive and well. Unbothered by papal warnings against dissent and rebellion, Catholic theologians are today publicly questioning established dogma in a way that might have earned them excommunication in the 19th century and execution in the 16th. Several Dutch thinkers, for example, have tried to redefine the doctrine of transubstantiation in the Eucharist, which was made dogma at the Council of Trent; others have proposed radical new ideas on original sin (TIME, March 21). Even the conventional concepts of God, the Trinity, the divinity of Christ and the reality of his Resurrection are considered...
