...Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, vowed that his guerrillas would attack Jewish property everywhere-U.S. holdings as well, because of Washington's support of Israel. A few hours later, the front claimed that its members were responsible for hijacking a TWA jetliner, bound from Rome to Tel Aviv. Israeli jet fighters intercepted the diverted plane, but there was nothing they could do without endangering the 101 passengers and 12 crew members. The plane was forced to land at Syria's new $40 million airport at Damascus. There the hijackers herded everyone off, then exploded...
...meeting attests, contemplatives themselves had already taken the lead in renewal long before the Vatican issued its decree. Both in the U.S., where there are 4,000 contemplative nuns, and in Europe, especially in The Netherlands, changes have been under way in many communities ever since Vatican II. Though Rome has only now approved the installation of television sets within the cloisters (it had hitherto authorized limited use of radios and newspapers), most of the 51 cloistered communities in The Netherlands already have TV. Most have also removed the bars that used to separate them from visitors; some even welcome...
...counter-culture is its self-proclaimed flight from reason, its exaltation of self over society, its Dionysian anarchism. Historian Roszak points out that the rock revolutionaries bear a certain resemblance to the early Christians, who, in a religious cause, rejected the glory that was Greece and the grandeur of Rome. Ultimately, they brought down a decaying pagan empire and built another in its place. But the Second Comings of history carry with them no guarantees of success, and a revolution based on unreason may just as easily bring a New Barbarism rather than the New Jerusalem. As Yeats so pointedly...
...some church conservatives, the flowering of Cuernavaca Catholicism has seemed something of a wild growth. A promising experiment in psychoanalysis at a Benedictine monastery in Cuernavaca (TIME, Dec. 2, 1966) ended in a Vatican ban of the practice and the disbanding of the monastery. More recently, Rome forbade the enrollment of priests in Monsignor Ivan Illich's Center for Intercultural Documentation (CIDOC) in Cuernavaca, a school that prepares North Americans and Europeans for work in Latin America with heavy doses of political and social orientation. Still, while these two pioneering experiments remain important factors in Cuernavaca's Catholic...
...bishop himself-usually an affable, conciliatory man who speaks kindly of his conservative peers-can also be outspoken. At Vatican II, he defended psychoanalysis, in obvious sympathy with Lemercier's monastery. Last May he journeyed to Rome to plead the case for CIDOC and former Monsignor Illich, who had resigned the active ministry after an inquisitorial Vatican proceeding (TIME, Feb. 14). The ban has since been modified, and priests and nuns may study at Illich's center as long as their superiors monitor their progress...
