Bone in the Throat. In these ecumenical times, argued Father Walter J. Burghardt, S.J., professor of patristic theology at the Jesuit Seminary in Woodstock, Md., theologians are obliged to look harder at the issues that divide Christians. "For the bone that sticks in the Protestant throat," he said, "is Scripture v. dogma, the original message of salvation from the mouth of God and the promulgation of infallible propositions. It is this passage, this seemingly lyric leap from Scripture to dogma, and from dogma to dogma, that scandalizes the Protestant theologian...
This evolutionary striving, he feels, is the means and end and sanction of life. In this, he has been strongly influenced by the thought of the late French Jesuit philosopher-anthropologist, Father Teilhard de Chardin (TIME, Feb. 10). "But the striving and aspiring must be social to be fruitful." Vercors insists. "The yogi working by himself for himself is a dead end.

But it is these very forms, personified in Richwick, that give Sylva a direction...
...Japan does the same job in Hong Kong, and there is much pooling of information.

One day in 1937, Filas stumbled on an ancient German treatise on St. Joseph, and was attracted to the Virgin's husband as "an obscure underdog who didn't deserve the treatment he had received in history." In 1944 he published his first book on Joseph, The Man Nearest to Christ, and books, pamphlets, lectures and magazine articles on the saint have been pouring out of his typewriter ever since. Jesuit Filas...
...Jesuit Wilkin's solution, unbaptized babies get into heaven, but not until the end of the world. On the last day, when Christian dogma holds that Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead, the Gospel specifies that there will be a general resurrection of all who have died since the world's beginning-including those in hell...
