...some prominent bishops are at odds with shock tactics. Joseph Cardinal Bernardin of Chicago, O'Connor's predecessor as pro-life chairman, says that "the church can be most effective in the public debate on abortion through moral persuasion, not punitive measures." On the other hand, San Diego's Bishop Leo Maher denied Communion to a pro-choice Catholic who was running for the California senate...
Support for the new stand came from Joseph Bernardin of Chicago, the only Cardinal on the bishops' administrative board and a member of the panel that drafted the document. Bernardin, the chief spokesman of the more liberal wing of the U.S. hierarchy, said he was "pleased" with the new policy because it is "faithful to the Catholic doctrinal and moral tradition, and it is sensitive to the human dimensions of the issue...
...clear division emerged between the Bernardin group and Pope John Paul II's more recent conservative appointees, notably Law and O'Connor. As other bishops across the U.S. last week lined up on either side of the argument, it was widely speculated that the issue went beyond condoms and involved a struggle for ascendancy in the American church.

Andrea da Merano, an honorary nom de cuisine he enjoys), who owns the Villa Mozart, a trimly polished Jugendstil-designed hotel in Merano. He stirs the pasta pots for Operator Tony May, who masterminds Palio's spacious and vaguely Japanese- looking dining rooms. So far Hellrigl's esoteric offerings have been uneven. They may be as institutionally dull as his lackluster codfish with potatoes or the watery mushroom terrine or as wonderfully executed...
