...barnstorming-style campaign all around France. Arriving at 10:30 in the town of Neudorf, he started pumping hands right away and was soon off on a day-long dash that took him to 15 campaign events within a 50-mile radius. In Neudorf, he entered one of the Roman Catholic schools that the left proposes to nationalize-taking care to be photographed under a crucifix. At another town, Chirac nibbled on a piece of truffled sausage encased in piecrust, an Alsatian specialty, before warning his listeners that the left was a "sorcerer's apprentice...
When the Harvard Divinity School was founded 161 years ago, James Monroe was president of the United States, Pope Pius VII was head of the Roman Catholic Church, and the world in general held an outlook far different from that of modern society.

As a Roman Catholic convert with an unblinking eye for guilt and evil, he gave the bulky 19th century Russian soul opera a fresh English tailoring. The trials of a "whisky priest" in The Power and the Glory are, perhaps, the prime example of such styling...
...Among Roman Catholic thinkers, the New Christology first appeared at the University of Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in 1966, when the late Ansfried Hulsbosch, an Augustinian, issued a manifesto against the Council of Chalcedon. The church, he wrote, should "no longer speak of a union of the divine and human nature in one pre-existent person." One of the Dutch movement's two leading figures has been his Nijmegen colleague, Jesuit Piet Schoonenberg. In his 1969 book, published in English as The Christ (Herder & Herder; 1971), Schoonenberg also discarded the "two natures" approach, speaking instead of "God's complete...
