The Vatican must surely realize that the power they used to enjoy around the globe is diminishing. This is a chance at retaining a toe-hold on a government that they obviously consider to be vulnerable to their pressure. I'm glad to see that they are not going to bend to the Vatican. I have very little respect for the Catholic church due to everything that they have ever been involved with, from the Inquisition, to their acts in WWII to the recent child sex scandals. They obviously need a reality check, the world is getting wise to them.
