...life of St. Francis of Assisi. What really interested him was the movements of Allied ambassadors at the Vatican. Other spies tapped telephones, monitored Vatican Radio transmissions and intercepted cables. Experts in Hermann Göring's aviation ministry cracked the code by which Rome communicated with Archbishop Cesare Orsenigo, its apostolic nuncio in Berlin...
...leading religious leaders of Britain, the Catholics' John Cardinal Heenan of Westminster and the Anglicans' Archbishop Ramsey of Canterbury, are deeply opposed on the issue of canonization. Cardinal Heenan sees it as a badly needed restorative "to recall the Catholic Church in Britain to a sense of discipline and allegiance to the Pope."

The Beagle (242 tons) would sink the Ark (of unknown displacement), and Darwin...
...rephrasing of the old rules." In point of fact, only three journalists, have had their Vatican credentials lifted in the past 18 years-and only one lost his permanently. Vatican press briefings, moreover, have increased and improved (TIME, Oct. 31). Yet some officials-among them Deputy Secretary of State Archbishop Giovanni Benelli-apparently felt the need to protect themselves against misinterpretation. Explained a Vatican insider: "Journalists today try to write like theologians, getting involved in highly controversial doctrinal matters. Any journalist who behaves irresponsibly in doing this kind of reporting can damage the religious consciences of Catholic readers around...
