Locked Doors. Last week the Morreales got their volunteer, another controversial outsider: New York Jesuit Priest Joseph F. O'Rourke, 36, an antiwar activist who is now affiliated with Catholics for a Free Choice, a group that disputes the church's teachings on abortion. On the steps of Immaculate Conception Church, whose doors were firmly locked, O'Rourke baptized Nathaniel Ryan Morreale with the ancient formula, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." Bill Baird, a former Sunday school teacher who now professes "no formal religion," was invited...

Stiffer than his convivial father...
...Louis University, is Communio's editor. A political liberal (he backed George McGovern) and disillusioned church reformer, Hitchcock has become perhaps the most effective spokesman for the conservatives. He is respected enough on the Catholic left to be welcome in such remaining progressive journals as the Jesuit weekly America, the Critic and the National Catholic Reporter. But his attacks on liberals can be acerbic. In his 1971 book, The Decline and Fall of Radical Catholicism, Hitchcock lists no fewer than 26 "heretical notions" of Catholic radicals, including several that strongly reflect the cultural evolutionary thought of Jesuit Philosopher Teilhard...
