...church doctrine, Bernardin was the subject of controversy last year when his name surfaced in the private journals of the Rev. Andrew Greeley, a writer and Cody critic. Greeley created a fictional scenario in which Bernardin succeeded the embattled Cody as part of a plot to rig a papal election...
...dormitory, four guest houses, a visitors' center and a gallery shop. But even when it was only a converted 19th century farmhouse and hay barn, Weston welcomed outsiders. These visitors have led the brothers to worlds unexpectedly far from the priory's hill. In 1974 two papal volunteers, a native Vermonter and his Chilean-born wife, stopped at the priory en route to Mexico, where they established a farm cooperative. That acquaintance eventually took the entire Weston community to Mexico on two extended retreats. First the monks spent a week visiting poor urban centers or traveling by horse...

The Peronists had distributed leaflets through the capital and other cities with exhortations calling EVERYONE...

That argument had threatened to erupt into war between the two countries until the claimants agreed to accept papal mediation. According to unofficial reports, the suggested terms of settlement award three islands to Chile and put the surrounding waters under shared sovereignty. Chile has declared itself ready to accept the solution. Argentina has not. Until the Falklands crisis forced a visit as a quid pro quo for the British...
