The cynical among the Vatican press corps believed that the "flu" that had been reported in the official bulletins was in fact a cover for something much worse. Sources at the Vatican discount that scenario, noting both the Pope's relatively robust appearance Sunday and the fact that the basic details about his condition were being released at regular intervals.
