...takes over for longtime papal spokesman Joaqu?n Navarro-Valls. Though Navarro-Valls, a suave Opus Dei layman, was prized for his ability to shape John Paul's message for the modern media, he too had appeared to be biding his time since the start of this pontificate. The Jesuit scholar Lombardi, a much more low-key figure, must begin to help translate Benedict's lofty prose into the stuff of daily news copy. Also, just last week, the new head of the Vatican's foreign affairs office was named. It is Mons. Dominique Mamberti, a Moroccan-born Frenchman...

James Martin, an editor at the Jesuit weekly America who also celebrates weekly Mass at a Manhattan church, "When do you say to someone, ?I hope your spirit has a nice day today?'" He adds, "It just doesn't translate...
...asking Edmund Brown Jr. to give up politics is a little like asking the Rolling Stones to quit rock 'n' roll. It's just what they do. Brown is a rock star himself. The son of a storied California Governor and a veteran of nearly four years in a Jesuit seminary, he ran for California secretary of state at 32, was on the cover of TIME by 36, served two terms as California Governor, ran unsuccessfully for the Senate once and for President three times, moved to Japan, studied Buddhism, worked with Mother Teresa and was a radio talk-show...
