Hi Katha,

After our diversion into the economics and politics of the twentieth century, could I attempt one more time to divert your gaze to Agatha Christie in the Vatican? What do you believe? A bizarre love triangle, as New Order once put it? A disgruntled employee? More evidence of the Vatican's gay underworld (remember the awful murder of a gay papal official a couple of months back?)? Or just a moment of madness?



And such wonderful outfits.

dominus tecum,
Andrew
