...victim of the Cardinal's punishment was the Rev. T. Joseph O'Donoghue, 37, assistant pastor of St. Fran cis de Sales Church in northeast Washington. He is also a co-founder of the Association of Washington Priests, to which all the dissenters belong. Immediately after the encyclical was issued, Cardinal O'Boyle called upon his priests "to follow without equivocation, ambiguity or simulation the teaching of the church on this matter." In answer, the 52 priests announced their endorsement of a statement originated by theologians from Catholic University of America holding that spouses may properly decide...
...inspiration for the exodus comes from the Rev. Donald Abernathy of the Apostolic Gospel Church of Bell Gardens, a Los Angeles suburb. Last spring he had a series of visions that convinced him that the Los Angeles area would soon be torn apart by an earthquake. In his graphic revelations, Abernathy said, "buildings crumbled, freeways buckled, water gushed up from cracks in the ground and volcanoes erupted in the nearby mountains. Then the destruction moved north toward San Francisco." In two subsequent visions, Abernathy saw an airplane ticket stamped with the word "Atlanta." Taking this as divine direction...
...them, too, have decided to move. Last month more than 100 members of a church in Avenal, 50 miles southwest of Fresno, emigrated to Kennett, Mo. A 50-member congregation in Porterville transferred to Independence, Mo. One hundred members of a church in Lompoc also trekked to Georgia. The Rev. Robert Theobold, pastor of the Friendly Bible Apostolic Church at Port Hueneme, plans to resettle his congregation of 90 men, women and children in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

...Buffalo, 14 of the 18 priests who make up the faculty of St. John Vianney Seminary were called into the chancery chapel last week by Bishop James A. McNulty. Eleven of them were asked to state their views on the encyclical. The Rev. Christian Puehn, dean of studies at the seminary, reported that the bishop's questions "focused on the area of loyalty to the teaching authority of the Pope and McNulty's own authority." At the conclusion of the meeting, said Puehn, "the bishop called six of us aside and indicated he was severing our connection with...
...Rev. Russell Karl, a pastor in Oxnard, Calif., wrote to Los Angeles' James Francis Cardinal Mclntyre two weeks ago, disagreeing with the encyclical. When he met Mclntyre later, Karl said, he was handed a letter relieving him of his parish duties. Mclntyre's office announced that Karl had "requested a leave of absence." What the "leave" involves, according to the 50-year-old priest, is "a new career in Texas, possibly as a social worker or insurance salesman." Washington, D.C.'s Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle has issued "canonical admonitions"-formal warnings that, under canon...
