...NAMED. JOSEPH ZEN, 64, Catholic bishop of Hong Kong and outspoken democracy and human-rights activist; as cardinal, by Pope Benedict XVI; in Rome. Zen, whose role in mass pro-democracy marches helped to hasten the resignation of former Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa last year, will be elevated on March 24 along with 14 other Catholic leaders. Zen's selection, which signals the Vatican's growing interest in the spiritual needs of China's millions of Catholics, was greeted by a Chinese government statement that "religious figures should not interfere with politics...
...Gospel of Judas was a critical pan. In A.D. 180 the church father Irenaeus ascribed a work of that title to a group of contrarian believers who were called Cainites because they admired the first murderer, whom they saw as cursed by a cruel God. The 4th century bishop Epiphanius also attacked the text--after which it disappeared from record.

Directing is about seeing 20 moves ahead while you're working on the next five.' He'll do all the work himself, if the person assigned to the job can't hack it. In one scene the faces of the slaves are to be lighted by a lantern carried by one of the crew. But it isn't working. 'Let me do the light myself,' Spielberg says, holding the lantern so that...
...arrest, "maybe we shouldn't beat ourselves up for giving in to it." His is an easy-listening, baby-boomer ministry, not so much fire and brimstone as Fire and Rain. Of course, Daniel is a priest in a liberal church; American Episcopalians have even ordained a gay bishop, to the consternation of conservative members and the church's overseas counterparts. (The church has had no comment on Daniel so far.) So it's plausible that he would accept his gay son and even ask an engaged couple he's counseling if "everything's O.K. in the bedroom...
