...unwilling to undertake the enterprise, many individual churchmen in the tradition of Erasmus did as best they could by themselves. In 1902, R. F. Weymouth brought out his The New Testament in Modern Speech; and in 1913 came James Moffatt's The New Testament: a New Translation. More recently Msgr. Ronald Knox--in 1945--and Dr. J. B. Phillips--in 1947--have published servicable and entirely adequate individual translations...
Taking up this new position, Msgr. Frederick G. Hochwalt, education director of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, argued that the Administration's recent equating of loans and grants to parochial schools as unconstitutional gave Catholics a reason to claim both as-in their view-equally constitutional. He agreed the new stand probably would block passage of the bill for federal aid to public schools. "But it doesn't bother me in the least," said Hochwalt. "The present educational structure is not a sacred cow and could stand a change...
...Consulates. The heavy hand of Dictator António de Oliveira Salazar's political police, the P.I.D.E., reached into every corner of the province. Some 150 Angolans were arrested and thrown in jail as politically suspect. Most conspicuous prisoner was the Roman Catholic vicar general of Angola, Msgr. Manuel Mendes das Neves, 70, a distinguished mulatto churchman whose principal crime was his outspoken sermons advocating African rights. All foreign newsmen are kept under surveillance, their phone calls tapped, their cables censored. Even foreign consulates are watched.

...same goes for other big archdioceses, such as Chicago, where Msgr. William E. McManus sees "no need for federal aid to Chicago, public or parochial," though he adds that "if it comes, we ought to get the crumb." McManus' schools handle 34% of all Chicago schoolchildren, owe more than $40 million. They stay afloat by central-bank deals and an average annual tuition charge of $25 in grade schools and $225 in high schools. "Come hell or high water," says Msgr. McManus, "we're going to have 125 new classrooms next fall, no matter what they...
...federal aid. says Msgr. Frederick G. Hochwalt, education director of the National Catholic Welfare Conference: "It's the token of being part of U.S. education, our plea for recognition." Should Catholics get aid. Hochwalt figures that it would add 15% to the Kennedy school bill. The loans, say most bishops, would go to diocesan building-loan funds, freeing cash for lay teachers. Failing aid, says Chicago's McManus, "we will just have to further systematize contributions, in the nature of assessments and taxes." In any case, says Hochwalt, "it's not so much the amount of federal...
