...cease-fire was signed at Manila's Club Filipino, the sumptuous establishment in the suburb of Greenhills where President Aquino took her oath of office ten months ago. She was not present for the historic moment. Instead, along with her friend and adviser Jaime Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of Manila, she attended a ceremony that morning marking what would have been her slain husband Benigno's 54th birthday...
...basic American justification for sanctions can be seen in Archbishop Tutu's statement that there is no guarantee that sanctions will work, it is merely the last peaceful option.

In elections of U.S. representatives to a Vatican synod next year, moderates and liberals joined forces to elect Weakland and again bypass...
...Roman Catholic Church, which on the whole has reacted mildly to the growing clamor for more sex education, has been anything but docile about the clinics' birth-control services. Two weeks ago Archbishop Roger Mahony of Los Angeles issued a heated pastoral letter calling for "all those who value the family and have hope for the future of our children" to join him in vigorous protest against a proposal to establish three school-based clinics. In Boston, Bernard Cardinal Law denounced four proposed health clinics that would provide contraceptives in junior and senior high schools. In an 86-page attack...
