...worried Western leaders that Secretary of State Henry Kissinger had repeatedly warned Italians against voting Communists into government. Last week Kissinger called the results a standoff and predicted another election within a year. The Vatican, Berlinguer's other relentless foe, was just as concerned. Pope Paul VI last week undertook the revitalization of Catholic lay organizations; their 5 million members were last used politically in the church's anti-Communist battles of the Cold War years...
...first time since the days when Alcide de Gasperi was the D.C. leader and autocratic Pope Pius XII threatened to excommunicate all Italians who voted Communist, the Vatican is taking a more overt part in an Italian campaign. Addressing a national conference of bishops last month, Pope Paul VI used the personal pronoun I instead of the pontifical we to stress his interest in the election.

Nowhere is the division more spectacular than on the issue of birth control. In 1968 Pope Paul VI issued his encyclical Humanae vitae, explicitly telling Catholics they were forbidden to use artificial methods of contraception. In 1974 a study of American Catholics showed that fully 83% did not accept such teaching. Moreover, attendance at weekly Mass dropped from 71% in 1963 to 50% in 1974; monthly confession, from...
