...little damage to Prague, one of Europe's best-preserved and most charming capitals. Even the minor scars have largely disappeared, cabled TIME Correspondent David Aikman from that city last week. "Wenceslas Square, the city's kilometer-long main street, has seldom looked better. There is no sign of tension among Czechs lining up around street vendors to buy ice cream or to window-shop during their brief lunch hour.

The overarching issue in Roman Catholicism today is cohesion, or?to use an old-fashioned term?authority. It is a sign of the difficulties facing the next Pope that Catholic pundits differ widely on how authority should be used...
