Mother Pasqualina Lehnert, 89, austere German nun who, as the de facto secretary, housekeeper and confidante of Pope Pius XII, was called the Pope's Guardian Angel; of a brain hemorrhage; in Vienna. Mother Pasqualina met Archbishop Eugenio Pacelli in 1918 when he was papal nuncio in Munich, moved with him to the Vatican and, after he was elected Pope in 1939, became the channel through which outsiders had to pass to gain access to the ascetic, withdrawn Pontiff...
...Protestants and Catholics can, in the end, overcome their differences. Catholics may now be permitted to sing Luther's A Mighty Fortress Is Our God or worship in their native languages, but a wide gulf clearly remains on issues like the status of Protestant ministers and, most crucially, papal authority...

Television reporters ran up individual tabs of as much as $20,000. The rates were hardly unique-papal trips to Zaire and West Germany cost more-but were double or greater than what Poland charged during the papal visit in 1979. And for the first time in John Paul's travels, Vatican correspondents were billed for accreditation and for buses to follow him. Among the biggest bills...
