"I tried to keep to the tradition," he told one intimate, "but it didn't last eight days. After all, nothing in Scripture says that I have to eat alone." The ultra-conservative editors of the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano have even been known to censor what they consider an unseemly papal frankness.
