It turned out that in Roman eateries, Scarano had been dubbed “Monsignor 500 Euro” for the thick wad of cash he would flash when settling checks, which was considered a bit odd for a mid-level Vatican official ostensibly making about $30,000 a year. “Today a pope is constantly in the spotlight, traveling a great deal and continually making important decisions,” he said. Once things get messy, complicated and time-consuming, however, we usually tune out – even if the outcome raises questions about whether the original round of headlines were justified in the first place. His appeal of that conviction is set to be heard in August. Now in his early 70s, Italian Monsignor Nunzio Scarano worked for more than twenty years as an official in the Vatican’s Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA), its main financial department, until his removal in 2013. According to media reports, it contained six folders with paperwork documenting that various holdings of Scarano, including valuable religious artwork, were the result of gifts from wealthy Italian families.

To begin with, Odifreddi argued that the pope’s recent hospitalization underscored the need for a fixed retirement age for pontiffs, which he suggested should be set at 80. In any event, Bisignani’s main focus was on the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communions, where the five-year term of Italian layman and journalist Paolo Ruffini as director is up in July. She’s also played a key role in the sainthood cause of Pope John Paul I. What that assertion is based on isn’t clear — as is so often the case in Vatican coverage, no sources are cited, so it’s impossible to evaluate its credibility.

During the service, palms were handed out, which are symbolic of people waving and placing palm branches in front of Christ as he rode into Jerusalem.

“It represents when Christ was carried into Jerusalem on the donkey, the people grabbed frawns from the trees and hailed him as king during that march”, says Boyea. That is what Jesus and the father did in giving us his son. “This is all about love, Jesus’ incredible love for us, and the father’s love for us in giving us his son.

At 10 a.m. Sunday, hundreds gathered at Saint Paul's Cathedral to celebrate faith, community, and the start of Holy Week.

Even when he was in the hospital, he baptized a baby, [and] went around visiting people who were in the hospital rooms," Bishop Zubik added. Bishop Zubik also told us that he was pleased to see that Pope Francis, who had recently been hospitalized with severe bronchitis, was well enough to return to work at the Vatican. They came to the cathedral and felt the comfort of God's presence here," Bishop Zubik said.
