...family quarrel going on. What you see in the crowds that greet the Pope is a kind of affirmation of this pluralism and of a current resurgence of pride in Catholic identity. I am in very great admiration of this Pope. He's a believable person, a good priest, a good Pope. At the same time I am troubled by stands he seems to take. I am also troubled by the Vatican document this year that stated that orthodoxy would be a question in granting tenure to theology professors at certain Catholic universities. It may be a very good...
...priest-sociologist, called anti-Catholic bias the "last remaining unexposed prejudice in American life." "This prejudice," wrote Greeley, "is not as harmful to individuals as either anti-Semitism or racism ...

Last week the 45-sq.-mi. bay and the Navy base on its shores took on new significance when Jimmy Carter announced that the Marines would soon come ashore on maneuvers to demonstrate...
Abrams' former wife Nancy is a leader of the Carter forces in Dade County. She is a veteran of the 1976 Carter presidential campaign and works out of her own public relations agency in Miami. Said she: "Mike is a good organizer, but we have most of the party organization, and we are outmaneuvering him." Her chief complaint is that Mike took a list of 3,000 activist party people with him when he joined the Kennedy side and refuses to share it with her. Griped Nancy: "We need those badly. We're denied access." To which Mike...
