Some bishops were troubled by the prospect of substitute services. William McManus, a retired Indiana bishop, warned that the strong tradition of Sunday Mass could be undermined "if we bless this monster." Bishop Raymond Lucker of New Ulm, Minn., urged a study of the priest shortage that would face such issues as "Why can't we ordain people other than celibate males?"

Last week, for the first time in their brief lives, Patrick and Benjamin Binder of Ulm, West Germany, lay in separate cribs. Benjamin rested next to his stuffed dog, Patrick with his teddy bear nearby. They had been parted during an operation of staggering complexity and delicacy -- five months in the planning, 22 hours in the execution, and involving 70 doctors, nurses and technicians.
