...advertising to turn a steady profit; where they do not, the church pays their deficits. The press still suffers widely from what Bishop Dwyer called "a good deal of pious incompetence." But the intellectual weeklies-the liberal lay Commonweal and the Jesuit-edited America, etc.-come up to any secular standard; the layman-edited monthly Jubilee is a tasteful slick picture magazine, and an infusion of trained lay journalists has given many of the diocesan papers both professional polish and a telling effect in their communities. Last week the association honored New Jersey's weekly Advocate (circ...
What Is "Official"? As it moves ever higher by secular standards, the Catholic press faces much the same problems as the rest of the U.S. press. But one is unique: the widespread confusion over whether the Catholic press, on such problems as U.S. foreign policy, immigration or "right to work" legislation, speaks with the voice of the church and follows a "Catholic line."

If, in the light of hindsight, I had to do it all over again, I probably would decide not to write and speak about Fascism as I did. I would...
...numbers among its archangels Victor Hugo, Joan of Arc, Sun Yat-sen and Clemenceau, and boasts some 2,000,000 adherents, a private army and a pope. But Cao Dai's voluble, bright-eyed little Pope Pham Cong Tac was never able to resist meddling in secular matters. Tossing his 15,000-man army now on one side, now on the other in the delicate balance of Vietnamese politics, he succeeded only in incurring the wrath of his military Chief-of-Staff General Nguyen Thanh Phuong, who is now an avowed supporter of Premier-President Ngo Dinh Diem...
