...Hates Yankees? Father Illich was sent to Puerto Rico five years ago, where he became vice rector of Catholic University and a monsignor. He lost the favor of Puerto Rico's Bishop James McManus when he spoke out against the bishop's order forbidding Catholics to vote for Governor Luis Muňoz Marin (TIME, Oct. 31. 1960).

"I was advised that nondenominational services were being held in the church, and that it was being referred to as a community church," said the bishop. "This I could...
Appraising the chances of the plan of church unity proposed by Stated Clerk Eugene Carson Blake of the United Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A. and approved by the denomination's General Assembly last month (TIME Cover, May 26), Dr. Van Dusen criticized Episcopal High Churchman John Heuss, rector of Manhattan's old and opulent Trinity Church. The Blake proposal, said Dr. Heuss, "too easily brushes aside the formidable problems involved," notably the need for approval by the decennial Lambeth Conference. But, said Van Dusen, the Lambeth Conference has specifically approved the plan on which the Blake proposal...
