Most troubling of all was Benedict's reinstatement of Williamson, a debacle whose full scope the Vatican seemed to recognize only the day after Merkel's upbraiding. The church demanded that Williamson recant his gas-chamber denial, and the Pontiff released a letter that deplored the strain between the church and the Jews resulting from his "mistake." He assured a visiting group of Israeli rabbis of his intent to deepen Catholic-Jewish relations and his belief that the Jewish people "were chosen as the elected people" to communicate fidelity...

...Given that, European leaders who in 2008 had enthusiastically backed proposing the EaP to the six former Soviet republics began scrambling to lower its scope ahead of its May 7 launch in Prague.

What name shall we give this child? What...

Given the scope of the project and the current economic climate, this lofty goal seems highly unrealistic. However, anything shy of this target will likely be insufficient to complete the expensive purchase. Exactly how much is needed is still unknown, as the sale price for the building has yet to be determined, even...
