In an article on Vatican diplomacy, the Economist suggests that the Vatican could "“could renounce its special diplomatic status and call itself what it is – the biggest non-governmental organisation in the world.” This has provoked a response from Archbishop Dominique Mamberti,
Archbishop Mamberti's full response, together with further comment, can be found at cheisa I'm not a regular reader of The Economist, although we did at one time subscribe, and I recall one or two articles relating to Catholicism which struck me as having been written by someone who knew a little - but not a lot - about his subject. Perhaps this is another one of those occasions. KatyA |

I'm quite a fan of The Economist, though I have very rarely read articles relating to Catholicism, I suppose it is akin to "The Sun" discussing high finance.... |
