...that he might prove a little less of a headlinemaker than his resigning predecessor, James A. Pike. No such luck. Soon after he was elected bishop, Myers denounced the Episcopal Church for being guilty of "the heresy of racism." A fervent Viet Nam dove, Myers later attacked Francis Cardinal Spellman's statements supporting the war as "outrageous," and piously implored: "May God and Pope Paul forgive him." Last week Myers suggested that all of Christianity should accept the Pope as its "spiritual leader...

Cracked Hope: "That's the kind of book ends I like on a trip like this...
...sure you are disappointed." Hardly. If anything, Bishop Fulton Sheen, 71, looked younger and more vibrant than he did in the days when he was competing with Uncle Miltie for ratings on the tube. Installed next day in his new post as bishop of Rochester by Francis Cardinal Spellman, he also proved that he is still a quick man with the ad lib. Asked how it felt to leave New York City and settle among the greener pastures of Rochester, Sheen replied: "There is a certain road in Ireland where it rains on one side and is all sunshine...
