...Cardinal Sins shocked many with its tortured, bisexual archbishop, whose encounters with women are invariably brutal. Thy Brother's Wife (contrary to Greeley's mock self-review) is in fact a better, more hopeful book. The pace is quicker, the characters more firmly drawn, the sexual rites gentler. Greeley's turf remains Camelot West: the Chicago of lace-curtain Irish who have pushed their way to the top. Multimillionaire Mike Cronin, who beds women faster than Joe Kennedy could say "Gloria Swanson," has set the course for his two sons. Paul, the Notre Dame boy who goes...
...Roman Catholic magazine Esquiú (named after a 19th century Argentine bishop), declared that "all Argentines, in church and out, believe our cause is just. I think that the good God is content with this faith of ours." One of the country's notably progressive prelates, Archbishop Vicente Faustino Zazpe of Santa Fe, in northern Argentina, last week assailed "the treason of the United States" and the "hopeless hysteria of England," singling out President Ronald Reagan and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as "mediocre" and "short of stature."

Some church leaders duly noted that the occupation had initially cost no lives, but at least one new-breed prelate has since attacked that thinking. In a letter sent to his fellow bishops three weeks ago, Archbishop Jorge Novak of Quilmes cited other factors that should have been considered in the decision: "moral, cultural and economic costs that may be irreparable." However courageous the action, wrote Novak, it lacked "wisdom and prudence...
...Catholic Archbishop John R. Roach of Minnesota at the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul: "It is essential that we initiate an explicit, public, systematic dialogue about the relationship of religious communities and the political process in the U.S. Whether we like it or not, a whole range of public policy issues are permeated at their very heart and core by moral or religious themes. From the debate on abortion to decisions about nuclear armaments, from care of the terminally ill to the fairness of budget cuts, the direction our society takes must include an assessment of how moral...
