...victim of the Cardinal's punishment was the Rev. T. Joseph O'Donoghue, 37, assistant pastor of St. Fran cis de Sales Church in northeast Washington. He is also a co-founder of the Association of Washington Priests, to which all the dissenters belong. Immediately after the encyclical was issued, Cardinal O'Boyle called upon his priests "to follow without equivocation, ambiguity or simulation the teaching of the church on this matter." In answer, the 52 priests announced their endorsement of a statement originated by theologians from Catholic University of America holding that spouses may properly decide...
...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."

His activities brought fame to his church (which sometimes attracted as many as 25,000 worshipers in a day) and celebrity status to its pastor. One day, emerging from a "skin-movie" house, where he had gone to administer last rites to a stricken Roman Catholic, he was scolded by a fellow New Yorker: "Father, you're the fellow trying to close these theaters, and here you are coming out of a dirty show...
...PAPAL INFALLIBILITY. The Pope reaffirmed the unchallengeable authority of his office: "We believe in the infallibility enjoyed by the successor of Peter when he teaches ex cathedra [that is, solemnly on matters of faith and morals] as pastor and teacher of all the faithful, and which is assured also to the episcopal body when it exercises with him the supreme magisterium." Thus his only concession in the entire credo was a nod in favor of the concept of collegiality, approved by Vatican II, under which bishops and cardinals can more fully share power with the Pope. Paul also expressed...
