...destined for the Navy. Son of a Brooklyn real estate man, Anderson developed a childhood love of the sea while running an outboard motorboat in the waters off Long Island's South Shore. A bright kid, he zipped through a Jesuit high in fast time, graduated at 16. When he heard that Manhattan Congressman Ogden Mills had a couple of Naval Academy billets at his disposal, Anderson wrote a persuasive letter requesting an appointment. Mills, who did not represent Anderson's district, wired back: Establish residence in Manhattan and the appointment is yours. Anderson did so, entered...
...more and more traditional Protestants and Catholics are acknowledging a similarity between the unsophisticated, unfashionable Pentecostals and the unsophisticated, unfashionable early Christians.

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. The council may make a doctrinal statement on the church as the mystical body of Christ that would emphasize the nonjuridical aspects of Catholicism, and spell out the type of relationship that all Christians, and nonbaptized persons in good faith, have...
