Vatican news might be light this next month...

... since practically the entire month of August is vacation time for Rome:

NEW YORK, JULY 30, 2006 (Zenit.org).- After a summer break, ZENIT will resume its weekday news service Wednesday, Aug. 16. The Weekly Analysis feature returns Aug. 19.

-and-

VATICAN CITY, JUL 31, 2006 (VIS) - As previously advised, VIS will be closed during the entire month of August. Service will resume on Friday, September 1.

Meanwhile, I have to work like a dog if I want to be able to purchase any books for school come next semester. Sheesh. It's hot over here, too, ya know? ;-)
