...Despite Benedict's references to modern sexual mores, the encyclical does not single out the issues of birth control, homosexuality, divorce or married priests. At Wednesday's presentation of the encyclical, veteran Vatican correspondent Marco Tosatti asked Archbishop William Levada whether a reference to the Eucharist was a sign that Benedict was reconsidering Church policy that denies communion to divorced and remarried Catholics. Levada, who has Ratzinger's old job as the Vatican's top doctrinal official, politely told Tosatti he was reaching. "I hadn't even considered it before your question," he said. Though he has already said that...
...intervention may come as a surprise to some after several key Cardinals and Pope Benedict XVI had spoken out in recent months against taking Darwin too far. Christoph Cardinal Sch?nborn, the Archbishop of Vienna who is extremely close to the Pope, opened debate in Church circles after writing a New York Times op-ed piece on design in nature that resonated with intelligent design's claims against evolutionary theory. He told TIME last summer that he'd been encouraged by the then Cardinal Ratzinger in 2004 to pursue his doubts about what he calls "Neo-Darwinism" or the belief that...
...everyone is ready to drink to the new plan. "The chance that fiddling around with drinking hours is going to make British people into Italians," says Andrew McNeill, director of the protemperance Institute of Alcohol Studies, "is about as likely as my becoming the Archbishop of Canterbury."

...busy week for Bush as Congress remains out of session for a second week, he will also pose for photos in the Oval Office before meetings with the national commander-in-chief of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Jim Mueller, a Vietnam veteran from Missouri, and with the Archbishop of Washington, Theodore Cardinal McCarrick, who participated last April in the selection of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the 265th Pope, Benedict XVI. Bush will also make remarks on World AIDS Day; light the national Christmas tree during the ?Pageant of Peace? on the Ellipse on Thursday; and attend the Kennedy Center...
...better than the government at handling industrial relations; only 26% thought the government was better. To be sure, a preemptive ad campaign by unions tapped into concerns about job "casualization," long hours and weekend work and the resulting stress on families, and unscrupulous employers. Peter Jensen, the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney, is one of several church leaders who worry that the proposed reforms could lead to a nation of robots. Further, Australian workers, no matter how well they get on with their employers, don't completely trust them; they may feel vulnerable negotiating one on one with a clever boss...
