...Italy, the Pope must plow through daily scheduled meetings and audiences, prayers and Masses, visits to Rome's 320 parishes and deep philosophical debates. Yet he remains intensely interested in anything involving the church in Poland. John Paul reads the Cracow Catholic weekly Tygodnik Powszechny as soon as it arrives at the Vatican. Indeed, bishops around the world have caught on to this habit and compete fiercely to have their latest works published in what editor Father Andrzej Bardecki calls "our little weekly...
...devout Roman Catholic with strong ties to church activists who oppose Communist ideology. A close adviser to Lech Walesa, Mazowiecki helped form the union in 1980 and was jailed for a year after the government crackdown in 1981. Trained as a lawyer, he is editor of the union weekly, Tygodnik Solidarnosc, and was a key negotiator in the round-table talks that led to legalization of Solidarity and opposition participation in last June's elections...

He would like to restore church discipline and obedience...
...monopoly on publishing and paper supplies. Last November the bishops had to plead for paper for catechism texts, prayer books and church documents. The Pax Movement has its own daily newspaper, but the hierarchy is not able to publish periodicals. The independent Catholic press is led by the respected Tygodnik Powszechny (General Weekly), produced by John Paul's friend Lay Editor Jerzy Turowicz. The pa per is artificially limited to eight pages an issue and a circulation of 40,000. Editor Turowicz routinely prepares twice as much copy as he needs because censors are unpredictable...
