A senior Defense Department official has directed Pentagon officials to clear in advance with his office any communication with Congress about American military activities in Central America. Pentagon officials said the order reflected concern in the Reagan Administration about increasingly assertive efforts by Congress, particularly Democratic lawmakers, to examine whether the Pentagon has established a permanent military presence in Honduras without Congressional authorization. Administration officials, including Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger, have denied that the United States intends to establish a long-term military presence in Honduras.

The United States' allies in Europe have begun to try to bring a greater measure of European identity and decision-making to their military policies. Seven of the countries, led by France, West Germany and Britain, are planning a defense ministers' meeting in the fall to discuss what some of the group refer to as Europeanization - an idea roughly defined as Western Europe taking greater control of its own defense while maintaining its military links to the United States. The meeting, according to French Government sources, will be the first wide-ranging discussion by West European defense ministers, including France's, to take place outside of the Atlantic alliance and without Americans. In describing the initiative, European officials stress their need for continued military cooperation with the United States. But they acknowledge that the experience of starting to deploy new American medium-range missiles last year and differences between American and European policy assessments had accelerated thinking about Europeanization.

It isn't yet possible to know what direction the Russians will take under the transitional regime of Konstantin Chernenko, or what secret agreements have been made for the next succession. The 52-year-old agricultural expert, Mikhail S. Gorbachev, a lad by Kremlin standards, does appear to have advanced to No. 2 in the Politburo, and may already have been promised the top job after Chernenko. Knowledgeable East Europeans say definite signs should emerge within the next couple of months. Most important, however, is the indication that for the first time in six months or more, the Kremlin is again capable of new decisions. This comes from a Yugoslav who said flatly early in January that Yuri Andropov was on his deathbed and hadn't been capable of active leadership since last fall.

Seeking to stem a rise in broken marriages, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, R.I., announced in February 1983 that it would require couples under its jurisdiction to spend at least 45 hours in formal prenuptial instruction and to wait a minimum of a half year before marrying. ''To my utter amazement and pleasure,'' says the Rev. Joseph Protano, ''the program has taken on very normally in most parishes.''

CBS Inc. expects the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue subpoenas next week naming as many as three CBS News employees as targets of an investigation, network officials said yesterday. The officials, who asked not to be identified, said the investigation involves unusual activity in the trading of G. D. Searle & Company stock options before a mid-January series on the ''CBS Evening News'' raised questions about the safety of Nutrasweet, the company's low-calorie artificial sweetener. John M. Fedders, director of the division of enforcement at the S.E.C., declined to confirm or deny that an investigation was under way.

T he genuine, deep-dyed opera fan is insatiable, a creature who greedily consumes every scrap of information about the art and the craft of lyric theater, true or false, real or rumored. No detail of a beloved soprano's precocious infancy is too trivial to overlook. No tenor's recipe for Chicken Appoggiatura is too gummy-sounding to be clipped and filed. No superannuated diva's ghost-written memoirs are too fatuous and self-serving to be bought, lent to friends and heatedly discussed in lobbies. The addict needs his fix of opera dope, especially in the dreary depths of February. There is no such thing as too much opera news, or a wrong time to shoot it up. And so, even though the Metropolitan Opera's centennial season is still in high gear, no true fan feels the least bit sheepish about showing intense interest in the company's repertory for next season. When the Metropolitan disclosed its repertory plans for 1984-85 the other day, along with tentative casting, the community of opera followers pored over the details like Kremlinologists studying the medical reports of doddering Soviet leaders.
