...Francisco recently, Roman Catholic Archbishop Joseph McGucken signed the final contracts to build an $8,000,000 replacement for the old, Gothic St. Mary's Cathedral, which burned to the ground in 1962. Much to his surprise, a group of priests and laymen objected to his plans for the cathedral, on the grounds that the money should be used instead for humanitarian projects such as low-cost housing for the poor. The protesters cited Pope Paul's encyclical Populorum Progressio and the Vatican Council's Constitution on the Church in the Modern World in arguing against...
Myers' proposal was greeted warmly by San Francisco's Roman Catholic Archbishop Joseph McGucken. "Do you want me to register a look of pleasant surprise?" he smilingly asked a press conference. Some Protestants and other Episcopalians were not so enthusiastic. Michigan's Episcopal Bishop Richard Emrich, a convinced ecumenist himself, warned that "one of the great facts of the world is not that you desire unity but that there are real differences of belief." One such difference was pointed out by the Rev. Carl Howie of San Francisco's Calvary Presbyterian Church: "In a large segment...
...workers' demand for recognition of their right to organize was explicitly endorsed in a statement signed by California's eight Roman Catholic bishops, including James Francis Cardinal McIntyre of Los Angeles and Archbishop Joseph McGucken of San Francisco.

After Archbishop McGucken endorsed the march, one vineyard spokesman warned that "the church leaders had better start looking for other financial means to carry out their radical theories." But now that Schenley has agreed to accept the union, most of the vineyards are expected to follow suit. Delano's largest grower, Di Giorgio Fruit Corp...
...holders eventually "convert the bonds into donations." Others insist on more businesslike borrowing from banks or from such church-sponsored agencies as the $100 million American Baptist Extension Corp. Roman Catholics favor blunt fund-raising campaigns to finance major building programs. In the fall of 1962, Archbishop Joseph T. McGucken began a $15,500,000 campaign, partly to pay for a new cathedral in San Francisco to replace the one that burned. He had no trouble raising the amount in seven months, with some donations of as much...
