(b. Spain 1170, d. Italy 1221)
Founder of the Order of Preachers
OR today.
No papal news in this issue. Page 1 stories: Arafat's Fatah party meets in Bethlehem to seek
a new leadership for peace; more protests in Tehran and corresponding police action; Washington
sees positive developments in Lebanon; tensions remain high between Russia and Georgia; the US
Senate approves Sonia Sotomayor's nomination as an Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court;
and an editorial commentary on the welter of tax levies and speculative 'bubblets' in Europe and
the US - working in opposite directions - towards economic recovery. Ettore Gotti Tedeschi thinks
it is impossible for the experts themselves to predict the immediate future based on any moves taken,
and they would do well to read CIV before taking any more.
No events scheduled for the Holy Father today.
