Would that more of President Belaúnde's aristocratic countrymen were awakened to the adelante spirit his administration has created...

Vagnozzi said that he was simply passing along instructions, but his own diplomatic reports back to Rome might well have inspired the letter. A learned, witty papal diplomat, Vagnozzi previously served as the Vatican's ambassador to the Philippines; he is an ecclesiastical conservative who has kept a watchful eye on liberal tendencies in the U.S. church since he came to Washington in 1959.

At that time, Italy agreed to pay the Pope $39 million in cash and $52 million in 5% government bonds as indemnity for losses suffered by the Pope when the Papal States were incorporated into Italy in 1870. Under Pius XII, Vatican money was shrewdly invested in stocks and real estate, and the capital has multiplied manyfold. The treaty also recognized the sovereignty of the Vatican, and a 1942 law written "in the spirit of the Concordat" exempted the Vatican from paying...
