For Susan and Robyn

'In any case I long ago realized that it is almost
impossible for a layman and a non-Catholic, and
indeed for most Catholics and ecclesiastics outside
the Vatican City, to form a valid judgment or express
an authoritative opinion on Papal policy. The Pope's
decision may, or must be influenced by so many
imponderable or invisible elements. Moreover, not
only is the atmosphere of the Vatican supranational
and universal.. . but it is also fourth-dimensional
and, so to speak, outside of time .. . for example, they
can regard the Savoy dynasty as an interlude, and the
Fascist era as an incident, in the history of Rome and
Italy. They reckon in centuries and plan for eternity
and this inevitably renders their policy inscrutable,
confusing and, on occasion, reprehensible to practical
and time-conditioned minds.'1
- Sir D'Arcy Osborne,
British Ambassador to the Vatican,
March 1947.
'I gather that. .. some arrangement has been worked
out with Vatican and Argentina . . . protecting not
only Quislings but also (those) . . . guilty of terrible
crimes committed in Yugoslavia. I presume we must
protect our agents even though it disgusts me ... we
are conniving with Vatican and Argentina to get
guilty people to haven in latter country.'2
-John Moors Cabot
American Ambassador to Belgrade
June 1947.
