...approved the bishops' condemnation of racial antagonism and discrimination, but the total context of his talk was chilling to liberal theologians. He asserted that the church has a special mission to "guard and transmit intact the deposit of Christian doctrine," thus reaffirming the thought that Christianity is a body of fixed beliefs rather than a faith that ought to be adapted to modern circumstances...
...regime's wanted list of former officials charged with high crimes, accused Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini of lacking "a master idea" for Iran and predicted that the waste and corruption under the Islamic government "will surpass" anything seen in 25 years under the Shah.
