...John F. Long, S.J., first Jesuit to be trained in the Roman Catholic Russian Rite in the U.S., will be ordained this week at Fordham University. The Russian Rite is a section of the Oriental Rite, one of the two great branches of Roman Catholic liturgy (the other is called the Latin Rite), which follows closely the liturgical pattern of the Eastern Orthodox Church...
...sanity circuit cannot be rewarded with a spot on the crowded Ivy schedules. Chicago, however, is not a newcomer. Harvard, in fact, helped administer the coup de grace in Chicago's final season with a 61-0 affair at Stagg Field--one year after a 47-12 rite in Cambridge. Perhaps Harvard might atone for this gridiron homicide by welcoming the once disgraced Maroon back to intercollegiate football...

Performing this duty "with a warm heart in a cold climate," The Beaver was proudly armed with a certificate, presented by Fredericton's mayor, giving him the freedom of the city.

I was told yes. If you get tight, the policemen are told to take you home rather than to prison...
...Baptists try hard to carry on the faith and practice of primitive Christianity. To them, adult baptism is not merely a quaint traditional rite; it sharply points to their conviction that the Christian faith can be accepted only by one who can think and speak for himself.* Similarly, insistence on baptism by immersion, as it is presented in the Bible, fulfills the twin symbolism of washing from sin and of death and rebirth, as well as pointing to the Baptists' conviction that Scripture is the complete and sufficient basis of the Christian faith. Orthodox Christian tradition regards the church...
