Since nearly all dioceses in the world are short of priests, bishops are reluctant to let their best men work in the Vatican. Moreover, few non-Italian priests want to give up the hope of becoming a bishop for the life of a church bureaucrat. "I'd rather be a bishop...

In reply to "Did you see the Rules Committee hearing on television?" one man retorted, "I don't know what you people do during the day, but I work." Another gentleman commented on the general nature of the inquiry: "These are not yes or no questions. You ask somebody who hasn't thought about it, and, sure, he'll give you yes and no answers...
