...Roman Catholics using contraceptives as much as their non-Catholic neighbors? There is some evidence that the answer is yes. So reported Msgr. Irving A. De Blanc, director of the National Catholic Family Life Bureau, citing still inconclusive studies* resulting in "an alarming, arresting and provocative finding." Furthermore, Msgr. De Blanc is sure that contraception is harmful, not only morally, but "psychologically, socially and emotionally."

He sees signs that many Catholics may gradually abandon the teachings of their church and accept the customs of the secular society in which they live.

...Ground. "If love is a crime, then he is guilty," said Msgr. John F. Donovan, vicar-general of the Maryknoll Fathers last week, looking back over Bishop Walsh's long career. Maryland-born Jimmy Walsh had been one of the six original students at Maryknoll Seminary for missionaries in Ossining, N.Y., and in 1918 the young priest became a member of the first Maryknoll group of four missionary priests to be sent to China.
