...open form of Thomism, capable of incorporating insights from Freud, Dewey, Sartre and even Marx. During the past 20 years, Catholic Bible scholars have begun to catch up with their Protestant counterparts, now are beginning to work with non-Catholics on new interdenominational translations of Scripture. In the late Jesuit Paleontologist Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the church possessed a religious figure who attempted-with near success-to bridge the wall between modern science and traditional faith...
...CATHOLICS. One of the sternest of Catholic beliefs is the old dictum that "outside the church there is no salvation." In practice, this hard-boiled doctrine has been broadly interpreted in recent centuries: the last theologian to teach that non-Catholics cannot be saved -Boston's ex-Jesuit Leonard Feeney-was excommunicated in 1953 for so arguing.

Slack lured them with cash: 50? to $2 an hour for being "research consultants" in a study of "how guys foul up." "Sick, Man, Sick." The chance to unburden themselves on tape−and then listen to the playback−worked as well as analysis. Usually, says Slack, the boys passed through five stages: apathy...
Streetcorner Research got its name from its first location: a store front at the corner of Bow Street and Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge. On the staff, in addition to Slack and Schwitzgebel, were Stanley Dubinsky, a social work student; David Kantor, a Harvard sociologist; and Father Jaun Cortes, a Jesuit priest and Clinical psychologist...
