Although the peace theme captured the headlines of a war-conscious Britain, the long-run significance of the trip will probably be its effect on the fortunes of Christianity in Britain-and on the Vatican's future course on Christian ecumenism. The Pope's agenda reflected not the imperial hand of the Vatican conservative old guard, but the more cosmopolitan touch of Britain's Catholic hierarchy. All observers agreed that the Pope's visit was without doubt his most ecumenical tour.

Giving the Foundation an accessible and permanent home would be a good start toward that end. The long-run goal of the Foundation and, we hope, all related Harvard actions, is better face relations, and that is both admirable and necessary if the University's much-vaunted goal of "diversity" is to be meaningful...
