Starving millions don't count unless they're sitting on oil fields, perhaps? "If you are a poor person in Ethiopia or Uganda or Peru, you don't show up on the radar screen. ...Islam has registered in the last twenty or thirty years only because we see it as politically threatening. Maybe some Christians somewhere would have to take hostages before anyone would really notice they're there."

Thanks, Win. I've printed out the interview--it's rather long, and will read it later. Finished up the errands a little quicker than I expected.

There's also a lot of talk about whether the next pope is going to be liberal or conservative. A funny thing to debate if you know anything about how popes are chosen, and exactly how many members of the College of Cardinals are JP2 appointees. Diversity or balance on that axis ain't JP2's thing.

My initial thoughts, precisely. But I'll hold off until I read the article.
