...freedom-of-religion bill became the test case. For years, Spain's non-Catholics have almost been non-people, barred from participating in the mainstream of Spanish life. They were, in fact, not even officially recognized as having been born, married or buried-since Spain acknowledged those milestones only when they were sanctioned by the Catholic clergy. Under the new bill, the old strictures would fall away. Though Roman Catholicism would remain the state religion, Spain's 30,000 Protestants, 6,000 Jews, and 1,000 Moslems would enjoy the full rights of Spanish citizenship, be allowed...
...Fordham College who has a doctorate of letters from the University of Paris, Jesuit McLaughlin wants Fordham to achieve "true greatness in action," even by Ivy League standards. While Fordham will always retain "the distinctive attributes of a Catholic university," he is confident that it can "move into the mainstream" of U.S. education, to compete for, and serve, the nation's best students and scholars...

Wise Blood deals with a familiar theme: man obsessed to the point of fanaticism. The scene is the dirt-road South outside the progressive and prosperous mainstream of U.S. life. In a modern U.S. city, there is no place outside of the psychiatric ward for the hero of Wise Blood, a gaunt drifter who blinds himself the better to see God and extinguish the devil...
...century. Along with the church of Egypt, Ethiopian Christians adopted the Monophysitic teaching that Jesus had one nature in which the human and divine were commingled-a doctrine that was condemned by the Council of Chalcedon in 451 A.D. Branded heretical, the Ethiopian Church gradually lost touch with the mainstream of Christianity and even with the Coptic Patriarchate of Alexandria, to which it is still theoretically subject. Since 1959, Ethiopia has had its own patriarch, the blind septuagenarian Basileos...
