- <p> His road to Rome was paved with good intentions, but the
- Archbishop of Canterbury found it rough going back home.
- Visiting the Vatican to discuss with Pope John Paul II eventual
- Anglican-Catholic unity, the Most Rev. Robert Runcie preached
- a homily urging Christians to reconsider the Pope's primacy as
- spiritual leader. That threw some of Runcie's flock into a
- tizzy: Did he mean to enthrone the Roman Pontiff and dethrone
- Queen Elizabeth, head of the Church of England? Runcie dismissed
- any such nonsense, but during his stay -- his first official
- visit to the Holy See -- he wore a ring given to one of the
- Archbishop's predecessors by Pope Paul VI. It was, he told John
- Paul, "a sign not unlike an engagement ring." Ahem!
