President Ford will probably preserve a certain independence from the fellowship, despite his close friends in it and the likelihood that his weekly prayer meetings will somehow go on. A lifelong Episcopalian, Ford will continue to worship whenever he can in his "home parish," Immanuel Church-on-the-Hill in Alexandria, Va. Though Ford may get a relatively liberal slant on religion from Immanuel's rector, the Rev. William L. Dols Jr., he gets a fundamentalist pitch at home in Michigan. There he has nurtured a close friendship with the Rev. Billy Zeoli, an evangelical minister who is head...

Matt admits that his paper is "roughhewn" and quips that intellectuals order it in a "plain brown envelope." In a series of articles criticizing reforms in the Archdiocese of Detroit, a Wanderer writer hit its progressive archbishop, John Cardinal Dearden, particularly hard, even suggested that he might be "a major heretic, one of the worst the Catholic Church...
