...years ago, and built it up to an average Sunday attendance of about 140. When Baptist Pike hit on the idea of his "special service," he enlisted some men from his congregation to build a cross about five feet high and to buy a newborn lamb. His sermon was called "Watching Christ Die," and its text was Matthew 27:36 ("And sitting down they watched him there"). After he had finished preaching that night, the lamb was brought in and wired to the cross. Then the lights were turned out, a man of the congregation slit the lamb...

That decision came almost eight months after Galician Galinsoga, an old Franco friend, had shouted insulting remarks about proud Catalonia after hearing Catalan spoken in a Barcelona Catholic Church sermon.

The cardinal spoke of "maternity wards which have become mortuaries," and said that "the doctor should continue to be a doctor, a defender of life, not a gravedigger and murderer." But as far as Poland's government was concerned, the nation's 1,000 abortion clinics (or clinics for "interrupted pregnancy") were not doing enough of a job. The government is alarmed about Poland's birth rate, the highest...
