Classifications may not exist in nature, but order does. And the observable differences among men, as broadly varied as the species, have long challenged the orderly human mind to catalogue them-to find a way, in short, to subdivide the fascinating and unruly diversity of humankind. Within the diversity may lurk patterns, and the patterns may aid man's understanding of himself and his differences...
...view, preferring instead merely to keep open the possibility that the races of man can be intellectually ranked. To Curt Stern, a geneticist at the University of California at Berkeley, it seems unreasonable to conclude that "because there is no evidence of inherent inequalities, the situation couldn't exist." Says University of Colorado Anthropologist John Greenway: "I would not want to say that an Australian Aborigine is dumber than I am, because there is no way to tell.

O'Brien, professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame, used the encyclical's noble words to challenge the Pope's recent decision upholding mandatory celibacy for priests. Addressing almost 200 fellow clerics gathered at Notre Dame, O'Brien said: "For years, countless thousands of priests have felt that they were being deprived of an inalienable, God-given right...
