...visit. His host on Thursday, the head cleric of Istanbul Mustafa Cagrici, had been one of 38 world Muslim leaders to sign a letter in response to Benedict's speech in September. Offering a tour of the mosque and explaining step-by-step what happens when Muslims come to pray, Cagrici continued his respectful lesson to the professor Pontiff on what he sees as the true, moderate nature of Islam. The two later gathered in a "moment of serenity," that may be as close to a genuine joint prayer as the traditionalist Pope has ever done with a non-Christian...
...solidarity of the world's most successful military alliance. The scripts have been largely written and surprises are unlikely. But as Christoph Bertram, the dean of German security experts, recently noted, the affair will be "like a Christmas service for agnostics, who for most of the year do not pray together or sing from the same hymnbook." The question of what the North Atlantic Treaty Organization should do and become has been a subject of often deep disagreement since the Warsaw Pact dissolved in 1991.

...sanctioned by someone much higher up the food chain. In the meantime, in churches and soup kitchens and community centers around the country, a great many people will spend at least part of Thanksgiving day, like every other day, feeding hungry people.

It was a signature John Paul moment, but not everybody caught the vibe. "It was a disaster," sniffs an observer. "People were praying together, and nobody had any idea what they were praying to." The witness, whose view undoubtedly reflected that of his boss, was an aide to Cardinal Ratzinger...
...hope, for every other Harvard student who gives a whit about this school and its reputation. The new restrictions essentially confirm what Harvard detractors have been saying for years and are just one more way for the school to look unfriendly and unaccommodating to current and potential students. I pray that I am wrong, but I predict that Saturday will see the first step in the long-term decline of the Harvard-Yale game, or at least the half of it that takes place in Cambridge. This is something that can’t be remedied by simply calling...
