...case, a Baltimore district court last week sentenced two pacifists to six years in federal prison and a third to three years for pouring duck blood on draft-board records. One of those sentenced to a six-year stretch was the Rev. Philip F. Berrigan, 44, a Roman Catholic priest...

Deacons, under church law, can perform most of the functions of a priest, except for celebrating Mass and hearing confessions. So far, the hierarchies of 24 countries-including the U.S.-have requested permission from Rome to ordain married men to the diaconate. Last week in Cologne, the first five candidates for this office were ordained; 110 more are in training in Germany alone...
