Alas...

Berlusconi's party is trying to mend fences with the Vatican. It shouldn't be hard. Criticize abortion and homosexuality a few times. Use the 80% of TV channels now controlled by Berlusconi to run a few documentaries on Escrivá and John Paul II, leaving out the scandalous portions. Affirm the Church's pre-eminence on matter of morality. And never, ever, ever mention gay priests again.
