Barred from a student lecture series at C.U. last month were four eminent Catholic intellectuals, including two of the nation's top Jesuit theologians, Fathers Gustave Weigel and John Courtney Murray; a noted Benedictine liturgical scholar, Father Godfrey Diekmann; and one of the official theologians at the Vatican Council, Germany's Father Hans Küng.

McDonald, rector of Catholic University of America, giving a forum to these scholars might seem to place his school on the liberal side in debate at the council (now in adjournment until September)-and he did not want...
...spiritual leader of the Ukraine's 2,000,000 Byzantine-rite Catholics, tall, bearded Archbishop Slipyi, 71. is a Jesuit-trained theologian who was elevated to the episcopacy in 1939.

Sophia was asked by her sister Maria, wife of Pianist Romano Mussolini, to be godmother to two-week-old Alessandra. Unfortunately, Sophia's spiritual adviser, Jesuit Father Virginio Rotondi, neglected to tell her that in so doing she would be violating Article 2357 of canon law. So long as Italian and church law block Producer Carlo Ponti's divorce from his present wife-and his marriage to Sophia-she is living in "public concubinage...
Ironically, Rahner at the moment is in no position to assist in this theological task. Last July, despite strenuous objections from his friends in the Austrian and German hierarchies, the Holy Office ordered him to submit all future writings for clearance by his Jesuit superiors in Rome. Since then, Rahner has written no new theological work; friends say that he will not speak out again until the ban is lifted...
