...within most denominations: despite its progressive policies on race, the 2,000,000-member United Church is only 2% black. Another problem, particularly for those churches which emphasize lay authority, is that the majority of white congregations still tend to be reluctant to accept a black minister in the pulpit, even when a well-qualified one is available. As a result, many Negro clergymen are turning away from the goal of parish-level integration and are focusing their attention on the revitalization of all-black congregations...
Many B.U. faculty members have spoken in support of Kroll during his sanctuary, including Howard Zinn and Murray Levin. Wednesday night, Dr. Wendel Yeo, B.U.'s vice-president for student affairs, mounted the pulpit and spoke in support of Kroll.

...remarkable resistance from Catholics on all levels of the church. A sharp reminder of that fact occurred when Pat rick Cardinal O'Boyle was the speaker at the Sunday noon Mass at St. Mat thew's Cathedral in Washington.

"The local church is the front line, and a bishop needs to be where the action is," says...
Confusing the Faithful. Father O'Donoghue was singled out for suspension because of his handling of a subsequent pastoral letter from the Cardinal urging the faithful to accept the Pope's teaching in the encyclical. After reading the letter from the pulpit at Sunday Mass, O'Donoghue went on to quote from the Catholic University statement and from several European prelates who have emphasized the role of conscience in the birth control question. The Cardinal showed up at the St. Francis de Sales rectory, accused O'Donoghue of "insubordination" and "disturbing and confusing the faithful...
