...hymns, the speakers began. Shouted Dr. Fakhri Maluf, onetime Boston College philosophy teacher: "It is heresy to believe that there can be salvation for the Christ-hating and Mary-hating people . . . Archbishop Gushing stuck his head out in heresy against us . . . Our Lady, Scourge of Heretics, punish him!" Some orthodox Catholic spectators let out a shocked "ooh," but the slaves clapped and applauded...
Most Greek Orthodox churches in the U.S. are small and poor chiefly because of the scattered numbers of their congregations (total U.S. membership: 1,000,000). Ten years ago, while attending services in Los Angeles' tiny Church of the Annunciation, Charles P. Skouras, president of National Theaters, decided that Los Angeles, at least, was going to get a bigger and a better one. This week Archbishop Michael, head of the Greek Orthodox Church in North and South America, held the first services in the $2,000,000 result of Skouras' decision: the Cathedral of Saint Sophia, a white...

His family had been rationalists in a fiercely Catholic country; he reacted by leaning towards the esthetic side of Catholicism, and, at the same time, was skeptical about the faith. He was a man distracted between two spiritual homes. Latin hedonism disputed with American puritanism...
...portrait of a saint," writes Clare Boothe Luce, "is only a fragment of a great and still uncompleted mosaic-the portrait of Jesus." Although a sizable portion of Christendom (including the Roman Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox communions) honors the saints as man's intercessors with God, historical distances have dimmed most saintly portraits even for the modern Christian, to say nothing of the skeptic who lives next door. To show the "timeliness" of the saints in 1952, Clare Luce has edited Saints for Now (Sheed & Ward; $3.50), 20 sketches of triumphant Christians of the past...
