...Packed so tightly that they were unable to kneel, an estimated 150,000 worshipers jammed Chicago's Soldier Field for a Marian Year Mass celebrated by Samuel Cardinal Stritch. Roman Catholic Archbishop of Chicago. Another 100,000, unable to find even standing room, gathered outside to hear the service through loudspeakers. On the stubs of the tickets were spaces for Roman Catholics to note Marian devotions they attended or performed. The archdiocese will collect the stubs, make a summary of the devotions, and send it to Pope Pius XII as a Marian Year "spiritual bouquet...
...popular, liberal Auxiliary Bishop Bernard J. Sheil. 66, last week announced his resignation as head of the Catholic Youth Organization, a group which he founded 24 years ago, and which now has some 5,000,000 members.

Gentlemen, let's not argue about who has got a seat closer to God, but how to live more nearly according...
Fortunately not all Roman Catholics are like Cardinal Stritch. I suspect there are some dissenters even among the clergy of his own archdiocese. We have a good friend, a Jesuit priest, with whom we have limited ecumenical relations on the rice-roots level. We even pray together on occasion, and pray God's blessing on each other's work. We believe this is what our common Lord desires of His catholic church...
