Cradle Rebels Late last week a lawyer for the Baltimore archdiocese won approval for the release on reduced bail of Father Wenderoth and the two other defendants from Baltimore into the custody of their archbishop, Lawrence Cardinal Shehan ?an unusual gesture of support for the dissenters by the American church hierarchy. Meanwhile, in the ten-story glass-and-steel federal district court building in downtown Harrisburg, the grand jury continues to hear witnesses.

A columnist in Turin's La Stampa criticized the Dacca stop, arguing that the papal visit would pull needed men and equipment off relief operations. A Catholic monthly in Colombo asked whether papal visits "help clarify fundamental issues or mystify them," pointing out that the Pontiff could give equally impassioned speeches in "racist Portugal" and in "underdeveloped...
