Unfortunately, nothing on her new album comes close to this honesty and originality. Instead, as in much of her recent work, Mitchell writes trite stories of unconvincing relationships and reserves her passion to bemoan the corruption of society.

But Etchegaray -- who is the Vatican's chief planner for the 2,000th-anniversary celebrations -- was also laying groundwork for a papal visit. The thinking is that the pope will visit biblical sites, including Ur, the birthplace of Abraham, in present-day Iraq.
