Italian publishing giant Mondadori announced Wednesday it is negotiating worldwide rights for Pope John Paul II’s new book, a recollection of his years as bishop in Poland.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t be so sure that the latest book means an end to the pope’s writing career,” said John Paul’s spokesman, Joaquin Navarro-Valls, seated beside Mondadori executives at the book launch at a hotel.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
