...Combat Atheism. How much reform the convention will accomplish before it ends-probably in July-is a matter of conjecture. Many older Jesuits, who control the centers of power, are reluctant to tamper with what they call the "substantials" of the society. Much depends upon how radical a reform Pope Paul will tolerate.
