...side are the Protestant storm troopers of the Rev. Ian Paisley, who is now serving a six-month prison term for illegal assembly last November. On the other stand the angry Roman Catholics, Ulster's impoverished and politically disenfranchised minority. Aiding them, and drawing most of their support from the Catholics, are the civil rights advocates, who espouse a non-sectarian solution to Ulster's problems.

Last fall a Jesuit chaplain to Roman Catholic students in Amsterdam announced that he intended to marry and continue in the priesthood. Two other young Jesuits gave him public support, and early this month were dismissed from the order by Arrupe. The Provincial of the Dutch Jesuits, Father Jan Hermans, then re signed his post rather than enforce the dismissals.
