In Rome the bid to legalize divorce gains momentum as five parties unite to defeat a Christian Democrat motion claiming the bill violates the 1946 constitution. The Vatican backed group argues the Lateran Pacts are reaffirmed, while opponents promise to scrutinize statistics on adultery and illegitimate births to counter the case.

Readers dispute Baptist Convention trend in Seattle notes
A reader contests last week’s claim of a conservative trend at the American Baptist Convention in Seattle. The convention defeated a bid to condemn an antiballistic missile system by 700 to 620, while approving draft law revisions on selective conscientious objection and national service, calling for a Vietnam ceasefire and amnesty for objectors. The piece also notes an invocation by Rev. Frank Donnelly at Temple Beth Zion’s Lakewood groundbreaking.
