Concerned, the Vatican issued a highly unusual public explanation. In a document sent to U.S. bishops two weeks before the Washington meeting, papal Pro-Nuncio Pio Laghi detailed the matters on which Hunthausen lacked the "firmness necessary to govern the archdiocese."

(Du Pont did not go to public school.) The present welfare system is a failure and should be largely abolished. Government should offer extensive vocational training and temporary public jobs paying 90% of the minimum wage. All agricultural subsidies must be phased out over five years, after which market forces would govern farming. Any of these proposals would detonate controversy once the campaign is fully engaged.
