...information is often as surprising as it is valuable. In one St. Louis suburban parish, a priest discovered that 60% of his flock still prefer devotions to the Virgin Mary - though some church reformers in recent years have endeavored to de-emphasize the importance of Mary in Catholic ritual. Of the same parishioners, 40% report ed that they went to confession only three or four times a year, and 39% declared that sermons in their church were generally uninteresting. In a Chicago parish, priests were ready to start a public-relations campaign to improve the image of their parochial school...

...vapid promises, black pocketbook power has become an effective, constructive force. In less than two years, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, 26, a burly, apothegmatizing King lieutenant who praises the Lord and believes in the might of economics, has wrested work from ghetto businessmen for 3,000 of his flock and boosted South Side Negroes' annual income by $22 million...
