No -- really, the Pope's aid!
I was amused, in the wrong way, by Evans's report of the comment by the
Pope's aid who alleged 'health reasons'.
I feel I need to know more about him! Was he Roma-born! (They have an
attitude!). Where was HE born!?

I am of course an Anglican and can laugh at it with a clear conscience, but
I spent some time learning at how central Rome was in those days. The link
Anglicanism-Roman is so tight -- and indeed it is never clear to
distinguish High Anglicanism (which I'm not, since I favour a
congregation-type of
hymn-singing that you find in Low-Anglicans only) and R. C. --.
As for the multi-ethnicity, while Vatican surely is Swiss-gene dominated,
the population is not inbred, although, if you can believe this, they lack a
maternity hospital. Rome, on the other hand, can be pretty multiethnic --
as opposed to the real provinces where you see the real Italy (just
kidding).
