ROME has spoken," runs an ancient proverb of the Roman Catholic Church. "The case is closed." No longer true. Last week Pope Paul VI formally promulgated his encyclical on birth control, which condemns all methods of contraception, except rhythm, as against the will of God. The pronouncement caused perhaps the most serious outburst of dissent the Catholic Church has experienced in centuries. Innumerable Catholics made clear that they would refuse to heed the words of a reigning Pontiff. Theologians defied his authority to insist that the encyclical was not binding on married Catholics who have good reasons to practice birth...

The effect is again one of montage--the creation of masterful rhythm from smaller individual rhythms -- and again the illusion gives way to the truth of the image on the film.

In the encylical letter stating the position of the Pope, the contraceptive pill and all other mechanical and chemical means of birth control were ruled out and the rhythm method, the only previously accepted method for birth control in the church, was given limited endorsement...

And several essayists, without even the leavening grace of black humor, dryly accuse Styron's Turner of lacking rhythm in his speech. In fact, these black literary jurors are so outraged that a white man should dare to write about a black, they forget that perhaps the best portrait of a Negro woman in American literature was drawn by Gertrude Stein in Melantha...
