...Blessing of the Tools is a Labor Day tradition at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Fairfax Station, Va., and this year the man who had come to do the honor was the Pope's ambassador to U.S. Catholicism. For Archbishop Jean Jadot, who logs more air miles than President Ford, it was a typical visit to small-town America. Jadot has given a speech in Nashville's Grand Ole Opry House (saying a few good words for country music), climbed aboard a corn combine during a rural-life conference in Iowa, and said Mass...
...capital. In the absence of such ties, Jadot's mission as Apostolic Delegate is directly to the U.S. church. His duties, nonetheless, embrace the diplomat's task of reporting home on every pertinent detail about his host country.

Lately the brass bands have been silent. The same stubborn streak that won Cody his early acclaim gradually worked against him in the nation's biggest archdiocese, which...
...tiny community of Uniates in Greece, who follow Orthodox practices but accept the supremacy of the Pope, has long been an irritant to the Greek Orthodox primate. When the Uniate bishop died earlier this year, Greece's Archbishop Seraphim, whose church's relations with the Vatican have been improving, let it be known that he wanted the Pope to appoint a mere administrator rather than a bishop to head the Uniate church. Last week, however, Pope Paul rejected the idea and named another bishop to the office. The furious Seraphim declared this to be an "ecclesiastical scandal...
