...small orange bungalow with fake-brick siding in a blue-collar Waukegan neighborhood. Gerard Nugent, district sales manager for a mutual-fund distributor, is of Irish descent. Mrs. Nugent's antecedents are Lithuanian. They sent their tall, athletic son to parochial grammar and prep schools and then to Jesuit Marquette University in Milwaukee, where he graduated with a B average in history. He earned pocket money by working as a parking-lot attendant and tour guide at the Miller High Life brewery. At school his friends called him "Paddy" or "Nuge." One Marquette professor remembers him as "independent...
...another's sacraments. Catholics have historically refused to acknowledge the validity of such Protestant spiritual acts as ordination, confirmation and celebration of the Eucharist, although they do not question Protestant baptisms or marriages.* In the current issue of the in terdenominational Journal of Ecumenical Studies, Dutch Jesuit Frans Josef van Beeck, 36, finds a basis for arguing that Catholics can give full credit and validity to any or all of the Protestant spiritual acts...
Essential Requirements. Van Beeck, who is director of studies of the Dutch Jesuit Province, notes that traditionally the Roman Catholic Church has insisted on three essential requirements for sacraments: They must be celebrated in a true church, the doctrine underlying them must be sound, and those administering them must be priests in the apostolic succession - that is, ordained by bishops who are spiritual successors of Christ's first followers. Because they fulfill all three conditions, the sacraments of the Orthodox Church have always been recognized by Rome as valid...
What made the marriage even more of a surprise was that, according to the records of the Wayne County clerk, it had been celebrated by Jesuit Thomas Blackburn, chaplain at the university. Although none of the parties to the unusual wedding would talk about it, the evidence was clear that Father Cross, who had been on leave since January teaching at Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University, came back to Detroit last May to marry Miss Renaud, a nurse who had voluntarily left the Sisters of Mercy three years ago. Still refusing to confirm or deny his marriage, Father Cross...
Neither university officials, the Detroit chancery nor Cross's Jesuit superiors would comment on the case. But under canon law, the penalty for a priest who marries without being dispensed from his vow of chastity-something that is rarely granted by the Holy See-is automatic excommunication, revocable only by Rome. Equally in trouble with the church is Father Black burn, who was previously reprimanded by the archdiocesan chancery for conducting experimental folk-song Masses on the campus. For celebrating the marriage of a priest, he too may be subject to excommunication...
