...Weird Conceptions about the Clergy in the Church," and "Subversive Interpretation Concerning the Liturgy and Ecclesiastical Discipline." Sample question: "How do you respond to those who present you as petulant, adventurous, imprudent, fanatical and hypnotizing?" After receiving the questions, Illich wrote an eight-page letter to Franjo Cardinal Seper, the Congregation's prefect, explaining that he could not answer them. The form of the questions, he wrote, "seems designed to wreck any hope of a human and Christian dialogue between the one judging and the one being judged...
Some dismayed Catholics are hoping that the Vatican's order, not yet fully promulgated worldwide, might still be rescinded. That is doubtful, but there is at least a hint that the Illich affair was more than a little disturbing to Rome. Cardinal Seper's last words to him, Illich recalled with some amazement last week, were: "Get going, get going, and do not come back." They were, Illich noted, remarkably close to the last words spoken by the Grand Inquisitor to his prisoner, Jesus Christ, in the philosophical vignette from The Brothers Karamazov.

...Faith, the church's chief agency for rooting out heresy. Although a kindly man in person, Ottaviani was a symbol of repressive Catholic conservatism and a leader of the stand-fast minority at the Second Vatican Council.

Last December, the Yugoslav Communist League Congress dropped its ban on religious practice by party members. A number of government officials formally congratulated Archbishop Franjo Seper of Zagreb after the announcement that he would be made a cardinal at Pope Paul's consistory next week. Monsignor Casaroli reported that he was "very satisfied" with the results of a recent ten-day visit to Belgrade, and Vatican officials hint that a formal agreement with Tito...
...their sees: Ukrainian Metropolitan Josyf Slipyi, who came to Rome in 1963 after 18 years of Soviet imprisonment, and Czech Primate Josef Beran, who is still under virtual house arrest near Prague. One new East European cardinal who does govern his diocese is Yugoslavia's Primate, Archbishop Franjo Seper of Zagreb. His careful policy of accommodation with Tito may lead to a restoration of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and Yugoslavia...
