...successors of the Apostles. Only the Pope, in modern times, has had the authority to appoint new bishops, though usually he has chosen them from nominations made by local bishops, by his own representative to the country in question, or in a few exceptional cases by a cathedral chapter or a government. In the wake of Vatican Council II, liberals hoped that bishops might once more be elected, as they were in ancient Christianity, by the "people of God" they would be serving -lay as well as clerical. This week, after four years of Vatican studies, surveys and consultations...
...growing choir of criticism from both clergy and laity." A case in point for Küng's skepticism is one of the Pope's recent episcopal choices, Bishop Johannes Gijsen of the Dutch diocese of Roermond, who was selected over the nominees of the diocesan chapter. Three days after the Vatican announced the new rules, Gijsen made clear how he felt about all the options.

...there are, of course, more involved reasons why Simon might have wished to read that one chapter of analysis. Smiles is a film which draws on elements of all the arts, expressing vital psychological and social truths in ways which enlarge the mind through the senses. Bergman allies forms of dance, music, and theater with his own consummate film craftsmanship to produce his final statement on the nature of young love. It's the film most typical of Bergman's early romanticism (nostalgic tinges re-appear in such darker masterworks as Shame or The Passion of Anna). Beyond Smiles itself...
