Caiaphas (High Priest)-Archbishop of Canterbury...
...sign posted on the lawn of the rectory of St. Barbara's Roman Catholic Church in Vulcan, Mich, last week. Twenty pickets lounged about the rectory lawn. They had been lounging there for six weeks, in defiance of their Bishop Joseph Casimir Plagens, who had ordered their priest of the past 13 years, Father Simon Borkowski, transferred to a seminary in Wisconsin (TIME, Sept. 5). Professing to be unable to get past the restraining pickets, Father Simon remained in his rectory. Then, one day last week, a party of 60 Catholics, some local and some from nearby towns, drove...
...first stirrings of Jocism began in Belgium 20 years ago when a young priest (now a canon), Rev. Joseph Cardijn, formed a small Catholic workers' group. Jocism grew much like other isms - in cells (always with priests as nuclei) from which zealous apostles, called "militants," proselytized. Today, there are 90,000 Jocists in Belgium, 100,000 in France, a total of 500,000 in Europe, of whom one-sixth are militants.

French-speaking workers in New Hampshire formed the first Jocist group in the U. S. A Catholic college student of Glendale, L. I., Vincent J. Ferrari, is launching the movement on a wider front, under the supervision of an able Paulist father, Rev. Paul Ward. Four Jocist study groups have been started. Jocist Ferrari, no worker himself, last week appeared minded to modify the thoroughly radical temper...
Death Of A World starts off on another tangent. Mionnet, a young priest who successfully saved a bishop from scandal in an earlier volume, is sent to Rome by Gurau and Poincare to spy on Cardinal Merry del Val, Papal Secretary of State who Gurau believes is intriguing with Germany. In Rome, Mionnet collects scandals about the Cardinal and is at the point of buying a blackmailer's documents when he is summoned to the Vatican to interview Merry del Val himself. There the plot breaks off, with Mionnet, like the hero of an old-fashioned movie serial, dangling...
