Hungary's Catholicism: a slow resurrection
Article Abstract:
The Hungarian Catholic Church is seriously weakened from years of Communist suppression. The clergy is ageing, most religious orders were suppressed and church property was nationalized during the Communist period. Believers are hoping to open more Catholic schools, educate priests and reclaim Church property, but the tasks that need doing outstrip the resources available. The Vatican's 'Ostpolitik' and a papal visit in 1991 provided some encouragement. A Catholic renewal might moderate nationalistic divisiveness.

Article Abstract:
A leading Brazilian publisher feels that the state of Wall Street at the beginning of 2001 is not a reflection of the state of the American economy, or indeed the global economy, and that an end to American prosperity is not imminent. What is imminent, is a change in direction, to one that takes full advantage of the opening up of economic growth and progress associated with the communications industry.
