...Mary on TIME's cover. She is humanity's greatest friend and intercessor but never takes or shares the place of Jesus. Discussing her role as intercessor, however, without mentioning her apparitions and the miracles associated with her at Fatima, Lourdes, Guadalupe, etc., is akin to discussing Christ without mentioning his Passion. Frank Buono New York City Yet another issue of time that made me wonder whether I have subscribed to a newsmagazine or a religious tract. It seems that far too often you feature major stories about religious practices, religious politicians and religious businesses. Please, stick to real news...
...doubt that this Pope’s legacy will be understood by many of us, and I fear our capacity to understand it is evaporating. I hope to see women priests and same-sex marriage, and I believe Christ would as well, and it is only a matter of time before the Church accedes (or succumbs) to our democratic vision of the world and accepts these and other changes.

...Further north, an equally outspoken candidate is Mexico City's Archbishop NORBERTO CARDINAL RIVERA CARRERA, 62. He epitomizes the feverish Catholicism of his 19 million mostly poor acolytes, boosting native rites and symbols. But Rivera Carrera is no liberal; he has close ties to the Legionaries of Christ, a flourishing right-wing society of priests. He is sometimes a too-fierce defender of the faith: when the U.S. pedophile crisis broke, he saw it as a "campaign of media persecution against the entire Catholic church." Another archconservative is DARIO CARDINAL CASTRILLON HOYOS, 75, whose star is said to be fading...
