...society. The 14-member task force that prepared the report was headed by U.C.L.A.'s Evelyn Hooker, an erudite, compassionate psychologist who is one of the nation's most distinguished researchers in the field.

German Catholic Theologian Johannes Metz agrees. Don Sergio's benign but active leadership, says Metz-who is dedicating a new book on church reform to the bishop -provides a model of diocesan government that could profitably be emulated throughout the Catholic Church...
...final session of the symposium, Belgium's Leo-Jozef Cardinal Suenens, one of the most progressive prelates in Europe, read a letter from Swiss-born Theologian Hans Küng warning that an increasing number of priests were determined to carry on with church renewal-with or without the bishops. Although the Chur delegates sat stonily silent as the plea was read, they did approve a cautious statement acknowledging that priests want an "authentic co-responsibility" within the church.
