...Paulist Press is also responsible for issuing Christ Among Us, a catechism by Anthony Wilhelm, a former priest. Since it was first printed in 1967, more than 1.6 million copies have been sold-166,000 of them last year-and for many of the nation's 52 million Catholics, the catechism had become an indispensable guide to applying church teachings to contemporary problems.

...however, will be like no other before it. The number of Cardinal-electors, for one thing, is far greater than in any previous conclave, nearly twice the number who voted in 1963 in Pope Paul's election. With that increase has come an explosion of candidates.
