...branches of the Irish soul. It was and is not uncommon for Souths and Norths in any land to diverge on the issue of charm v. hustle. But in Ireland the normal geographical split was widened by the nature of the settlers. In Ulster, these tended to be tough Presbyterian Scotsmen, with little taste for England but less for the Pope. Their role in an island without history was to keep the 17th century's religious acrimony and long-faced industry alive and to form a kind of museum for the Protestant ethic. The Scots seldom assimilate anywhere without...
...evening Mass celebrated by the Pope in the Pare de la Grange, where 60,000 people showed up, the crowds were amazingly small. Some Protestant traditionalists showed their displeasure at the visit by holding a prayer vigil at the supposed site of Calvin's grave, and nine Presbyterian ministers picketed World Council headquarters with signs saying "No peace with Rome" shortly before the Pope's arrival. The major threat to the peace of the day-a planned demonstration by Ulster's militant Rev. Ian Paisley-was foiled when Swiss authorities stopped him at the airport...
...real event of the trip was Pope Paul's carefully planned one-hour visit to the headquarters of the World Council.

By measuring their intolerance to physical intrusion, Kinzel is confident that he can pick them out of the crowd...
Polite Rebuff. While several major denominations have acknowledged the injustices suffered by the American Negro and have stepped up their contributions to black causes, they have not besieged Forman personally with offerings of cash. The United Presbyterian Church invited him to address its General Assembly last month, but pointedly took issue with his manifesto's threat of violence to obtain compensation from the churches. Even before the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church rejected the demands, Presiding Bishop John E. Hines called Forman's manifesto "calculatedly revolutionary, Marxist, inflammatory, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian." The Forman plan, added...
