...others, the new freedom is a problem. Says Fred Hess of St. Ignatius Loyola in Hicksville, N.Y.: "I think we need some hard and fast rules to go by." Even the progressive faithful feel that the church must maintain some kind of identity. Asks Mary Charlotte Chandler, a graduate student at U.C.L.A.: "What is the point of a church if it's always up to my own conscience...
Some thought it was near sacrilege. In a few short months during 1969 the interior of the 78-year-old St. Ignatius Loyola Church in Hicksville, Long Island, was radically transformed. Two side altars and their six statues, two more statues on the main altar, the devotional candles and the altar rail were all removed. Most dramatically, a new crucifix was hung behind the altar.

Even when a description of Barnes' ingenuity might make it seem cliched or overdone, they are effective on stage: When Carlos climbs into his mother's coffin after her death, it makes perfect dramatic sense--he has always...
