POPE IN COMMERCIALS

Passing around the collection plate isn't enough anymore. Pope John Paul II will appear in Italian radio and TV spots next week to promote a special rosary package that the Catholic Church is selling for $69. The pack contains rosary beads, a photograph of the pontiff and two CDs or audio cassettes on which John Paul is recorded saying the rosary. The 45-second TV spot shows the Pope walking through a Canadian forest in 1984 saying the rosary. The rosary pack will be sold in parishes and can be ordered through Catholic magazines.
