During his nine years as apostolic delegate to the U.S., Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, 61, proved to be a somewhat enigmatic and unpopular figure to American Catholics. There were few expressions of regret when Rome announced that Vagnozzi, who last month was named a cardinal by Pope Paul VI, would become a member of the Vatican's Consistorial and Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs Congregations.

In recent years, complaints have multiplied that Rome's diplomats meddle too much in the internal affairs of the church in the countries where they are stationed. Extremely liberal Catholic clergy in The Netherlands, for example, have protested that Giuseppe Beltrami, who was internuncio there until he was recently named a cardinal, "kept the wires to Rome hot with reports of heresy in Holland"-not always without justification...
