Pope John Paul has a longstanding personal interest in the order. He refers to its founder, the mystic St. Teresa of Avila, and her colleague St. John of the Cross, as "the spiritual teachers of my interior life," and as a young priest he unsuccessfully sought permission to join a related Carmelite order. The Vatican said that the intervention is "an expression of the great interest and the paternal attention of the Holy Father" to safeguard the Carmelites' "unity" and "fidelity."

Construction of the two new facilities has been more problematic. A 1972 agreement specified that the interior decoration and finishing of each embassy would be handled (for security reasons) by the country's own work crews but the major construction must be done by citizens of the host country.

Said Sihanouk: "We will see if the Vietnamese can maintain themselves at our stronghold...
Santilli writes that there are compelling reasons to doubt the strict validity of Einsteinian relativity under the conditions found in the interior of subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons. Over a period of several years, he and others working independently from him have attempted to conduct theoretical and experimental research to determine, whether or not Einstein's special and general relativity is actually violated under these conditions. This research has been met with such concerted and extraordinary resistance that santilli felt he was left with no choice but to write II Grande Grido; "the great-ornery...
