PERTH, WA: March 17, 1988
Pope John Paul II, in the nearly 10 years he has held office, has begun to shape the body of the world's bishops in his image. He chooses men who are trained to doctrinal theology, dedicated to the sacraments and unafraid to buck contemporary trends in the Church and in society at large.
