...definition of the Eucharistic celebration-the core of the Catholic Mass-as the same sacrifice, in a different manner, as Christ's sacrifice on the cross. According to the Trent decrees, at the moment of consecration in the Mass, bread and wine undergo "transubstantiation." They become, except in outward appearances, the body and blood of Christ. The sacrament of holy orders, conferred on a priest by a duly consecrated bishop and only by a bishop, give the priest the power to effect this mystical change. The bishops, lineal successors to the first Apostles, received this commission through the Apostles...
...among the frustrations of men. He is not able, like Johnson, to wrench some fragile optimism from a faith in man's reason. Like Johnson, he does not moralize about starving the passions. There is enormous passion in his people, but it neither wells up from life or issues outward to life; it wears them out in a world of private conceptions.

He adopted an "outward-looking" policy of establishing trade and diplomatic links with a few black states in southern Africa, and he agreed to allow New Zealand's rugby team, including some native Maoris, to compete in South Africa...
...mutual funds. Dickey's narrator, Ed Gentry, runs a Southern graphics studio cheerfully described as a "no-sweat shop." Just occasionally he is nudged by a fear of encroaching flab and a feeling that he is sliding too easily through life. Of them all, only Lewis Medlock seems outward-bound for the heart of darkness. At 38, he is an expert archer, spelunker, weight lifter and fiend for physical fitness; he is also an obsessive and philosophic seeker of challenges. He presses the others to join him on a three-day canoe trip down a north Georgia mountain gorge...
