Dear Judge Dockweiler: Let me offer sincere congrat– ulations for your courageous stand in the Day-Durocher divorce con– test. Indeed we can be thankful that a Judge of the Supreme Court challenges the utter flaunting of even pagan respect tor the law. This entire picture reflects a low moral tone and a lack of ethical social standards. Your own statement is a lone but articulate voice in the wilder– ness of unbelief and shameless be– havior. This thing of pouncing on the poor and the middle brackets and glossing over the crimes of the wealthy has for many decades disgraced the courts of our land, Your decision to vacate the di– vorce of these principals has achieved far-reaching good.

I Praying the Holy Spirit to con– tinue to enfold you with an abun- 1 danc~ of wisdom and prudence, I remam Respectfully yours, Charles F. Buddy, D.D. Bishop of San Diego,
