...retirement is allowed under church law, no one has renounced the papacy since Gregory XII in the 15th century. After John Paul was unable to lead the Palm Sunday procession, Vittorio Messori, a Catholic commentator who has interviewed the Pope at length, wrote a front-page article in the Milan daily Corriere della Sera that offered the first open questions from church conservatives on the matter. "Even with all the trust in the Holy Spirit, can the church live with such uncertainty?" Messori cited an unidentified Cardinal as saying. Beyond the Pope's liturgical duties, there are also questions about...
...Larry Z. Devine ’03 switched seats on his flight to Italy for spring break in order to sit next to a good-looking Italian girl. The two did some under-blanket canoodling that culminated in a handjob in the Milan international airport. When asked how he managed to cajole a non-English speaker into such wanton sluttery, Devine was philosophical. “Women: creatures of mystery.

Now Italian officials are trying to determine whether a link exists between Ben Khemais and the Moroccans and, if so, whether they share...
...Italian justice official told Time that investigators are trying to determine if there were direct links between those arrested last week and Khemais' Milan cell: "It looks as though the Rome suspects are part of the same Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat. So it's a real possibility that there were contacts." Other early evidence points to signs of al-Qaeda operations, including piles of false identity papers for apparent sale and distribution. And the plot's unsophisticated approach recalls the relatively simple tools used by other presumed al-Qaeda members, such as suspected shoe-bomber Richard Reid...
