Ugaritic research is only just now showing up in Biblical studies. It strikingly affects a new translation of Psalms I (1-50) by Jesuit Father Mitchell Dahood, published by Doubleday this week as part of its Anchor Bible, a continuing project of Roman Catholic, Protestant and Jewish experts. Dahood, a professor of Ugaritic at Rome's Pontifical Biblical Institute, draws on the Ras Shamra discoveries to correct and sometimes drastically change a number of obscure and, so he believes, previously misinterpreted passages in Psalms...

Inside Harlaxton Manor, the glow of a 15-foot crystal chandelier reflects from marble floors in a 134-year-old room, once a Jesuit chapel.

More than 1,000 Catholics-including a number of nuns and Jesuit priests-signed an "open letter" to the chancery and to Berrigan's superiors that appeared as an advertisement in the New York Times. The co-signers did not impugn the motives of those responsible for Berrigan's removal, nor did they necessarily agree with his pacifist views...
