A generation ago, Protestants were "heretics" to Catholics, and Orthodox churchmen "schismatics";* in Catholic circles now, the U term for non-Catholics is "separated brethren." In 1954, Chicago's late Samuel Cardinal Stritch forbade his priests to attend the World Council of Churches Assembly at Evanston; last November, five Catholic priests were sent by the Vatican to New Delhi as official observers.
