POPE JOHN PAUL II Persuades renegade Zambian archbishop to leave wife, renounce Moonies. Till Papa do us part...
...courteous, and we do the done thing." But last week their civility was sorely tried. Thus far Barnum and a total of five other rebel bishops serve a tiny national flock: at most 8,000 believers.

Tiongson's only conduit to the presidential office was through one of the archbishop's aides. "Morality is the church's business, fine," says Tiongson. "But this was meddling in the state." He resigned last Tuesday and was replaced by Alejandro Roces, 76, a former education secretary, who told TIME that the last...
