Clippings: Foreign, 1967

 File — Box: 2, Folder: 3

Scope and Content

DuBay was not the only priest to encounter problems with the Roman Catholic hierarchy in the 1960s; around the world, the church experienced what was described as an unprecedented wave of misgivings and question-asking after several priests with progressive ideas were reprimanded for expressing their ideas without the consent of the church. The file includes article clippings from Canada, England, Holland, Columbia, Italy, and Mexico pertaining to the conflicts between progressive-minded priests and their superiors. Special attention is drawn to the case of British priest Charles Davis, who left the church in 1966 after becoming disallusioned by its strict adherence to tradition.
