...York refused to give his imprimatur; because Spellman said no, Herder and Herder was turned down by three other bishops - of Philadelphia, Rockville Centre, N.Y., and Harrisburg, Pa.-before getting approval from the Diocese of Pittsburgh. Since then, Herder has followed the lead of another Catholic firm, Sheed & Ward, in having its books printed in Vermont -for the sole reason that it can usual ly count on clearing them with open-minded Bishop Robert Joyce of Burlington...
Heresy Charges. The imprimatur is no guarantee that a book will not be attacked as heretical. Last year Bishop Joyce granted Sheed & Ward an imprimatur for Jesuit Biblical Scholar John L. McKenzie's Authority in the Church (TIME, May 13, 1966). Although the book was later honored by the Catholic Press Association as the year's outstanding American theological work, Archbishop Robert E. Lucey of San Antonio recently denounced it as "openly heretical" on at least two counts. McKenzie retorted that Lucey should either withdraw his complaints or make formal charges of heresy to Rome...
With his wife, he moved to Manhattan's Greenwich Village, where he labored briefly for the Catholic publishing house of Sheed & Ward.

Terence Eagleton, 24, an editor of the New Left periodical Slant, is a fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge. All these writers found a platform for their views in New Blackfriars, and their writings are beginning to circulate...
...into print, including a popular interpretation of the New Testament (The Power and the Wisdom) that is already in its fourth printing and a 900,000-word Dictionary of the Bible, six years in the writing, that both Protestant and Catholic scholars are acclaiming as a classic. Last month Sheed & Ward published his Authority in the Church, a series of reflections on the spiritual understanding of power and rulership. In addition, McKenzie is translating Second Isaiah for Doubleday's Anchor Bible (TIME, Oct. 23, 1964), and he recently signed a contract to write a history of Catholicism...
