...Russell Karl, a pastor in Oxnard, Calif., wrote to Los Angeles' James Francis Cardinal Mclntyre two weeks ago, disagreeing with the encyclical. When he met Mclntyre later, Karl said, he was handed a letter relieving him of his parish duties. Mclntyre's office announced that Karl had "requested a leave of absence." What the "leave" involves, according to the 50-year-old priest, is "a new career in Texas, possibly as a social worker or insurance salesman." Washington, D.C.'s Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle has issued "canonical admonitions"-formal warnings that, under canon...

His thinking on everything changed. Others had reached similar conclusions, but Garrison was different...
...Roman side, the young courtiers Lentulus (Anthony Mainionis) and Metellus (Michael Parish) are insufficiently differentiated. Ken Parker is an amusingly scared Menagerie Keeper. Rex Everhart, wielding a billy-club, is the Editor in charge of all the gladiators, of whom the near-naked Retiarius (Harold Miller) and armored Secutor (DeVeren Bookwalter) go through their paces commendably, and lend color to the spectacle (an excess of color is provided by Jane Greenwood's costumes for many of the Christians, which are far too gaudy and even psychedelic...
