The play, about three married couples with differing problems and a goldsmith who represents God, drew a chorus of clerical bravos, which was no surprise. Jawien was the nom de plume under which John Paul, then Polish Bishop Karol Wojtyla, wrote the play 20 years ago. The playwright-turned-Pontiff had never before seen his work done, and he was delighted. "After tonight's performance," he smiled, "there's some hope for my poetry...

Outside the Vatican's Apostolic Palace, radical Italian protesters last week waved placards declaring SYNOD EQUALS REPRESSION, WOJTYLA GO HOME and WOJTYLA EQUALS KHOMEINI. The gibes at John Paul II were signs of the tension surrounding a meeting beginning inside the palace. In official Vaticanese, it was a "Particular Synod."

...last week released 1 million copies of Pope John Paul II Sings at the Festival of Sacrosong. The recording was made in June when the Pope returned to Cracow, Poland, to take part in the sacred-music festival he had founded eleven years earlier as Karol Cardinal Wojtyla. When he sang along spontaneously with the Sacrosong singers, the Pope's voice was captured on a master tape that MCA obtained. Rock stations last week were playing the Pope in the company of the Bee Gees and Led Zeppelin. John Paul will get nothing from the sales; his share...

...candidates. The most controversial was Canada's forceful Anglican Primate Edward Scott, 60, who is also chairman of the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches. But in the end, the commission decided Anglicanism was not ready to pick a non-Briton and thus "do a Wojtyla" (that is, echo Rome's election of a non-Italian as Pope...
