That much is reflected in the fact that Pius IX's beatification process, first mooted in 1907, is now proceeding in parallel time with the beatification of Pope John XXIII, one of the most liberal pontiffs in the church's history, who presided over the Second Vatican Council beginning in 1962 and inaugurated a modern, more liberal church. John XXIII, needless to say, is not a favorite of theological conservatives, who've spent much of John Paul II's papacy trying to undo his legacy.

...explosions be so eager to endorse his tenure as coach? No one knows the answer, but everyone has an opinion.

For in 1999 his son, a cop (Jim Caviezel), gets in touch with him, thanks to ham radio (and our suspended disbelief), and tells him how to avoid his fate. But rejigger a tiny piece of the past, and new problems arise. Suddenly, father and son are messily involved with a serial killer. Working-class Queens is a surprising, effective sci-fi setting, but the jumbled storyline is hard to track. Finally you give up on it--and, alas...
