	Pope Benedict XVI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He presided over the funeral of John Paul II and also over the Mass immediately preceding the 2005 conclave in which he was elected, in which he called on the assembled cardinals to hold fast to the doctrine of the faith.
		Ratzinger became a professor at the University of Bonn in 1959; his inaugural lecture was on "The God of Faith and the God of Philosophy." In 1963 he moved to the University of Münster, where his inaugural lecture was given in a packed lecture hall, as he was already well known as a theologian.
		It was noted by Vatican watchers that the practice of delegating prominent functions enjoyed by the late John Paul II would become the norm for Benedict XVI, who seems to prefer the duties of Church manager as opposed to having more of a public face.

	The Vatican and the Holocaust
		The Vatican’s official journal, the Obsservatore Romano, never once specified the crimes of the Nazis and their allies, and regarding the Jews they published a mere three articles, two of which dealt with the Nazi assault on the Rome Jewish community in October 1943.
		Widely differing historians of the Vatican’s role during the Holocaust have concluded that the Vatican was quite aware of the turn of events.
		The Vatican delegation, the nunciate, was especially important in London, not only due to the fact that this capital was the seat of government one of the strongest of the allied powers, but because London was also the headquarters for many anti-nazi governments in exile, such as those of Poland, Belgium, Holland and Yugoslavia.

	The Vatican and Environs
		Vatican City is a sovereign country in and of itself, is the smallest nation in the world, and encompasses some 108 acres (about 440,000 square meters) and is completely surrounded by Rome.
		The reasoning for the transference, I believe, is that Vatican officials feared there would be too much congestion in the Vatican Grottoes after the canonical recognition of the Blessed Pope John XXIII due to mass pilgrimages of worshippers to the pontiff's grave site, so the body was transferred to the main floor of the Basilica.
		It is the parish of the Vatican City and was begun in 1572 by Vignola for the Congregation of the Footmen of the Papal Court (which no longer exist), during the reign of Pius V. It was assigned to the Agostinian Fathers.

	Is there a zombie in the Vatican? - Security - Technology - smh.com.au
		The Vatican has emerged as an "unwitting relay source of spam traffic" in the latest "dirty dozen" report released by Sophos, which names and shames the countries generating the highest amounts of junk email.
		Although the Vatican itself is not a member of the dirty dozen, Italy made its first appearance in the list in eighth position, indicating that spam kings might have enlisted an increased number of "zombie" computers either within or outside the country.
		Mr Ducklin said that during the quarter, Sophos had traced inconsequential amounts of spam to unexpected locations such as the Vatican and Antarctica and, while it was quite possible computers in either location were generating spam without the knowledge of their owners, it was difficult to pin down exact locations.

	Vatican Secrets
		It is the most mysterious institution in the papal city, for in its more than thirty miles of shelving are reputed to be the accumulated records of scandals, secrets, and revelations of the most shocking and explosive kind, blithely boxed and filed away with the insouciance born of centuries of silence and discretion.
		Once in the Vatican, certainly the Secret Archives are central as the final repository of all the reports of all kinds of dirty deeds done by clergy, but as archives, they would not be responsible for dealing with current cases.
		So trying to find out which officials in the Vatican, if any, are dealing with these questions is much like trying to understand the inner workings of the Kremlin in the old days, or, for that matter, who in the US government really knows what about UFOs.
