Indiana's Bishop John F. Noll, a charter member of the Huntington (Ind.) Rotary Club (whose current president is a priest), said he was certain the Vatican had been misinformed about Rotary in the U.S., and that it would withdraw its ban on ecclesiastical memberships once the matter had been explained.
