Merton writes to the editors of Ramparts magazine about an article critical of Cardinal McIntyre of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, California. He agrees with their reasons for dissent, but questions whether their hard-line methods of rebellion are effective or whether they close down dialogue.
Ramparts was a literary and political magazine running from 1962-1975, originally a Catholic literary quarterly, that took liberal positions on many issues of the day, such as opposing the Vietnam War.
