...THEIR FAMILIES Photographs by Gigi Kaeser, edited by Peggy Gillespie (University of Massachusetts Press) In most respects, these are ordinary families. "Our family life is a very traditional American one," says Doug Robinson, a member of one of the families, "--early-morning getting up, eating breakfast, getting dressed, making sure everyone has matching socks, getting the boys off to school and then going to work." But these families face a unique daily challenge: the intolerance of colleagues, relatives, neighbors and classmates. In this remarkable family album of photographs and interviews, nonheterosexual parents and their children reveal the hardships and joys...
...Membership in the Roman Catholic Church is at 1 billion and on the rise, but its market share of the world?s population is shrinking. In Africa and Asia, the church?s "workforce" ?- the number of priests and nuns -? is increasing, a sure sign of John Paul?s road-warrior evangelizing and media savvy.

Angry Fundamentalists turned against him, a move that became an anti-Graham passion when he rejected the program of the Christian right: "I don't think Jesus or the Apostles took sides in the political arenas of their day." The break between...
...wouldn't be too sure. I suspect that the young of the world grasp that the man whose poster beckons from their walls cannot be that irrelevant, this secular saint ready to die because he could not tolerate a world where los pobres de la tierra, the displaced and dislocated of history, would be eternally relegated to its vast margins...
