  1. Vatican becomes patron of arts again

    VATICAN CITY -- Centuries after it helped kick-start Western art, the Vatican is seeking to break back into the art world with its first-ever pavilion at the prestigious Venice Biennale.

  7. Politics, personalities drive the decision on who will be pope

    It remains to be decided when the Catholic world’s cardinals will lock themselves away in the Sistine Chapel to elect the next pope.

  9. How Pope Francis can reinvigorate the church

    Newly elected Pope Francis represents change in many respects. He is the first pope from the New World (and the first from outside of Europe in 1,200 years), the first Jesuit and the first Francis. But for American Catholics, who in poll after poll in recent weeks have expressed disagreement with the church's stances on the ordination of women or the requirement of celibacy for priests, he may seem like more of the same. Pope Francis, the former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, is a doctrinaire conservative in those matters, as were Pope Benedict XVI and Pope John Paul II before him. Given the views of the College of Cardinals — all of whom were appointed by John Paul or Benedict — it could hardly have been otherwise.

  11. FROM THE EDITOR: Too much pressure meeting celebrities

    I've run into more than my fair share of actors, singers and athletes over the years. You would think I would be able to handle the pressure of saying "hello."  I cannot.  My latest celeb fail was a couple of weeks ago at Cubs spring training in Mesa,...

  12. New pope's views bind simplicity with 'complexity'

    VATICAN CITY (AP) — At gatherings of Latin American bishops, then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio was often a star speaker about economic inequities in a profit-driven world. He also has used the forums to warn fellow church leaders about drifting from core Catholic values and teachings.
