...support from any organization that is either "ambiguous" or opposed to the church's teaching that homosexual behavior is sinful. Any hint of endorsement for gay liberation groups, warned Rome, "can be gravely misinterpreted."

These hard, wiry- lined little engravings, with their slightly metallic nudes and sudden dark explosions of vegetation, are to the circulation of ideas about landscape what Marcantonio Raimondi's copies after Raphael are to the human figure...
