...running drama. Last month the Pope named an equally unpopular conservative as Archbishop of Cologne, West Germany, Europe's richest diocese.

...Vatican's main target in the U.S. was Dignity, an organization for gay Catholics that had been allowed to hold special Masses in many dioceses. Prodded by the San Francisco chapter, one of Dignity's largest (250 members), Dignity's next national convention responded defiantly to Rome, declaring that "gay and lesbian people can express their sexuality physically, in a unitive manner that is loving, life-giving and life-affirming...
