...birth control is commonplace, and not one new priest was ordained last year in the Dublin archdiocese - which estimates that more than 100 of its priests since 1940, about 4% of the total, have abused children. Diarmuid Martin, a Vatican diplomat who speaks five languages, was made Dublin's Archbishop in 2004 and has sought to clean up and revitalize the church. He spoke with Time's J.F.O. McAllister.

Levada was named last August to take the Pope?s old job as the Church?s point man on all doctrinal issues as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a post that Cardinal Ratzinger held under John Paul for 24 years.
