They called him a Hamlet when he was Archbishop of Milan. Lately, Pope Paul VI seems to be displaying the artful sovereignty of a Prospero and the action-now dash of a Henry V. And action now means a notable zeal for carrying out the renewal of Catholicism planned by John XXIII...
...scholars are at work on brand-new translations of Scripture; eventually, they hope to gain ecclesiastical permission to fuse their two versions into one joint translation. Scholarly Catholic missionaries are collaborating with Protestant ministers in translating the Bible into Singhalese, Indonesian, Swahili, Zulu and Japanese.

Three weeks ago, Athenagoras I, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople and first among equals of the Orthodox prelates, invited the other Eastern churches to meet at Rhodes on Sept. 19 to reconsider the question of Vatican observers. But last week Archbishop Chrysostomos of Greece flatly rejected Paul's appeal, calling the Roman church "centralist and absolutist." Were the decision left up to him alone, Athenagoras might be quite willing to send a delegate. Yet for the sake of Orthodox unity, he will not send an observer unless all other Eastern churches...
