** More and more, Parolin's the face of authority in Francis's Vatican
At the beginning, expectations were that "Vatican reform" under Pope Francis would mean a substantially diminished role for the Secretariat of State, traditionally the place's 800-pound gorilla. Of late, however, things have been trending in the other direction, and in Cardinal Pietro Parolin, we may be looking at the most powerful Cardinal Secretary of State since Eugenio Pacelli in the 1930s.

** Prize-winning missionary on North Korea: "People are the same everywhere"
On Tuesday, 83-year-old Maryknoll Father Gerard Hammond received the Gaudium et Spes Award from the Knights of Columbus for his service to the sick and suffering in North Korea.
