...monolithic uniformity in ritual and belief has been the unique glory of Catholicism-at times, even, its salvation as a definable entity. Even Protestants dissatisfied with what often seems to be the spiritless confusion of their own churches would contend that Catholicism should profit by the Reformation but not use it as an example. For better or worse, millions of Catholics like the church...
...bishop became complicated by the fact that he was a secular power as well. At the time of the barbarian invasions, the Popes emerged as Rome's most prestigious leaders. Leo I, who stopped Attila the Hun at the gates of Rome, was the first to use the term primacy in reference to the papacy. The Prankish King Pepin gave the Pope jurisdiction over central Italy-and for the next 1,000 years bishops of Rome were land-governing princes as well as the spiritual leaders of Western Christianity...
...fears, I am fearful! I fear the loss of grace (which I do believe in), not because I use birth control but because the church denies me the grace-giving sacraments.

I don't feel that I am wrong, but where will I find absolution if my own church says I am wrong...
Graceful as they are in the air, today's jetliners have become increasingly awkward on the ground. Taxiing under their own power, they use inordinate amounts of fuel; maneuvering them in maintenance areas and hangars is tough and timeconsuming. And such troubles will only grow worse with the introduction of the 490-passenger Boeing 747 and the supersonic transport. One way to solve the problem, say engineers of Seattle's Aero-Go Inc., is to keep the planes aloft even when they are on the ground. They have done just that by developing a device that can literally...
...Kitchen. Aero-Go is also building bearings for other uses. It has put them on experimental models of small, airborne cars propelled by large fans and designed to move people as easily as planes. The Navy plans to use the bearings for hauling giant ship propellers and shafts around the Pearl Harbor shipyard. NBC has bought air bearings to shift heavy bleachers around TV studios, and several manufacturers are already using them to move heavy equipment and products across factory floors. Air bearings placed under a one-ton machine, for example, enable a workman to move it across a smooth...
