Im Kathweb war zu lesen, dass Papst Benedikt jetzt wieder ohne Gips sein darf:
Vatikanstadt, 24.08.2009 (KAP) Fünf Wochen nach seinem Unfall im Aostatal ist Papst Benedikt XVI. wieder ohne Gipsverband. Der Gips und die Stützen seien am Freitagmorgen in Castelgandolfo abgenommen worden, teilte der päpstliche Leibarzt Patrizio Polisca mit. Die Röntgenaufnahmen zeigten, dass der Bruch des rechten Handgelenks "optimal" geheilt sei. Der Papst habe sofort mit einem Rehabilitationsprogramm begonnen, um die volle Funktionsfähigkeit seiner Hand und des Arms zurückzuerlangen, so das Vatikan-Kommunique.
Benedikt XVI. war Mitte Juli wenige Tage nach Beginn seines Urlaubs im Aosta-Tal nachts in seinem Schlafzimmer gestürzt. Am nächsten Morgen fuhr er in die Klinik von Aosta, wo das Handgelenk unter örtlicher Betäubung wieder in die richtige Position gebracht und mit zwei Drähten stabilisiert und ruhig gestellt wurde.

Pope says Catholic Church wants no tax privileges
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI said Thursday that the Roman Catholic Church does not expect special treatment as EU competition regulators considered a probe into tax breaks it enjoys in Italy.
"The Church does not seek power, does not claim privileges and does not aspire to positions of economic or social advantage," Benedict said as he accepted the credentials of Italy's new ambassador to the Holy See.
"Its only goal is to serve mankind by drawing its inspiration ... from the words and example of Jesus Christ," he said without referring to the potential investigation.
The European Commission said in August that it was seeking information from the Italian government on tax advantages accorded to the Church for its property dealings and that it might open a formal investigation to determine whether they violate EU competition rules.
The Catholic Church is exempt from Italian property tax for its commercial activities, such as those of many Catholic institutions that house pilgrims. Via: newsinfo.inquirer.net
