...Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my church," Jesus said to St. Peter. Though Christians disagree on what Jesus meant, to Catholics it is clear that at that moment Christ formed the holy Church which has continued for 20 centuries. The Catholic Church is built upon sacred scripture and tradition, helping breathe life into the worlds of faith and action alike. Today, it is led by Pope John Paul II, whose most recent encyclical, "Fides ed Ratio" (faith and reason), speaks clearly to the rapidly accelerating pace of information transfer and change that "can leave especially the younger...

For a moment, she has a glimpse back into her family's past...

To be sure, the unheralded off-Broadway show Queen of Hearts is too scrappy and simplistic to be very satisfying, even to connoisseurs of kitsch. Its Diana is an unnuanced saint whose key moment of insight comes when Princess Grace advises her, "Trust in yourself. Be who you are." Yet the musical boasts an appealing Diana in Paula Leggett Chase, who has the hairstyle and the gangly grace and (in songs like The Walls Are Closing In) makes a decent case for her emotional...
