...Shetland Islands, 150 miles off the northern tip of Scotland, are about as remote as it gets from London or the Caribbean. But for Laurent Viguie, 44, a financier in the City, and Karol Rzepkowski, 41, who was running a scuba and windsurfing business on Grenada, the storm-swept Shetlands with their clean, cold water were the perfect place to set up an environmentally friendly aquaculture business to produce...
...young Catholics eager to pick up the old "Gio-van-ni Paolo!" tradition. (In subsequent weeks, he even shushed them.) "John Paul built a rapport based on [such] enthusiasm," says a Rome-based Cardinal. "This Holy Father tends to diminish the importance of enthusiasm." While preaching, Karol Wojtyla would wave, gesticulate and repeatedly make the sign of the Cross. Benedict's pulpit style is austere by contrast, which more and more seems a philosophical choice rather than a personal reticence. During his Bari homily, which lauded observation of the Sabbath as an antidote to modern life's "unbridled consumerism...
...Jordan well knows the folly of seeking that magic name. Currently a contributor in Berlin, he had been TIME's Rome bureau chief in 1978. The week before the conclave that elected the virtually unknown Karol Wojtyla, TIME was one of just a handful of publications in the world to include him on its list of papabile.

But another Italian has emerged on most papabili lists over the past year: Angelo Cardinal Scola, the Patriarch of Venice, who offers a more forceful, some would say aggressive, alternative to the affable Tettamanzi. He is considered a die-hard defender of John Paul II's strict line on Church doctrine, and one source notes that the 63-year...
...buried in the crypt below St. Peter?s Basilica. The world leaders have come and gone. Most of the masses of pilgrims are going home too, boarding trains and buses: south to the Calabrian countryside, north to Milan, farther north and east to Krakow and Wadowice, Poland where Karol Jozef Wojtyla was born nearly 85 years ago. The Eternal City, of course, carries on. But these next two or three days-before the speculation over succession begins to multiply-the forever take-it-as-it-comes Romans may need some time to digest the event that just passed through town...
