...Roman Catholic cathedral, already dubbed "Paddy's Wigwam," "The Rocket," "The Crown" and "The Pope Goes to the Moon," nonetheless provides both Catholics and architects with occasion for rejoicing. The winning design was selected in 1960 by a committee headed by Liverpool's archbishop, John Cardinal Heenan (now Archbishop of Westminster in London), from among 300 submitted. It turned out to have been executed by Congregationalist Frederick Gibberd, 59, the architect and city planner responsible for London's Heathrow Airport and the new town of Harlow...
...cathedral's electrically operated bells, named for the apostles Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are separately housed in the 90-ft, freestanding bell tower that looms at the entrance. "I congratulate the architect on the excellence of his design," said Cardinal Heenan as the bells pealed on Whitsunday.

It was also predictable that Paul would offer a sign of the church's esteem to Archbishop Enrico Dante, 80, the lean, gesticulating papal master of ceremonies, who has nudged and poked Bishops...
...asked that it be stripped of all sterile condemnations; Giacomo Cardinal Lercaro of Bologna complained that the present text was too narrowly Occidental and European in viewpoint. The schema was attacked as unacceptable by Sicily's implacably conservative Ernesto Cardinal Ruffini and by Archbishop John Heenan of Westminster. Heenan charged that it had been written by clerics with no knowledge of the world, delivered a savage attack on theological experts at the council who would like to modify the church's position on birth control...
