...Young. Almost as interesting as some of the appointments were some of the omissions. An anticipated red hat for rigidly conservative Archbishop Paul Philippe, number-two man in the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, did not materialize. Likewise bypassed was Archbishop Giovanni Benelli, the Pope's celebrated "Prime Minister" (TIME, March 14), who at 47 is probably still too young...
...Reflecting the long history of the sacred site, its lower church incorporates pillars, walls and an altar from several buildings-a 5th century Byzantine church, a 13th century Crusader basilica and an 18th century Franciscan church-that previously stood on the site. Despite the impressive work of Italian Architect Giovanni Muzio on the basilica itself, the feature that drew the largest crowds at consecration ceremonies last week was the great bronze doors in its southern portico (see facing page), designed by Connecticut Sculptor Fred Shrady...
That conclusion seemed almost as unlikely as the conference site itself: Rome's Pontifical Gregorian University. Meeting under the joint sponsorship of the Vatican and the University of California at Berkeley, and financed by the Fiat auto company's Giovanni Agnelli Foundation, two dozen scholars from eight countries set out to explore "The Culture of Unbelief." In their collective view, the world's supposed infidels are more sinned against than sinning-and sometimes more religious than those who call them unbelievers...
...limits. A young man entering college takes a room opening onto a courtyard garden. One day he sees an extraordinarily beautiful girl walking among the exotic flowers, and approaches her. Despite her extreme shyness and the warnings of a family friend (a professional rival of the brilliant Dr. Rappaccini), Giovanni wins the love of Beatrice Rappaccini.

When Giovanni discovers this he gives her an antidote, only to kill her and (in Hawthorne's version) to discover that he now needs poison to live...
Among more than one hundred prelates in the papal household, Monsignor Giovanni Musante, 53, was one of the elite. A staunch theological conservative, he had worked loyally for more than a decade in the vicariate of Rome, which governs the Pope's own diocese, and was a member of the Vatican's litur gical commission; a year ago, on the occasion of his 25th anniversary to the priesthood, Musante was given a title reserved for the privileged few: chaplain to the Pope. Last week the Vatican reluctantly admitted that Monsignor Mu sante had gone...
