Vatican Sees Problem, Advances Solution

I spoke to a young diplomat who claimed that although London, Paris, Rome, Moscow, Tokyo were all plum postings, if one could not get stationed there, an excellent alternative was the Vatican.  Because it is in Rome?  No, because the Vatican has the best informed and the most professional, talented diplomats. And an intel network second to none.

The Vatican banker has come out with a warning that western banking policies are leading to a "weakening of political strength."  But what to do about it...?  Well nothing, except ordain a Chinese national as an Archbishop and put him in charge of Vatican/China relations.  Making friends for the future.
