	The Papal Nuncio's Diplomacy Daily Dish May 9, 2010 http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/the_daily_dish/2010/05/the-papal-nuncios-diplomacy.html Most Washingtonians recall the lonely figure of John Wojnowski, who stood on Masachusetts Avenue for years with a placard accusing the Vatican of covering up the rape of children. Like many formerly mocked as a crank, he now seems prescient and on-target - so on target that each time the papal nuncio to the US, Archbishop Pietro Sambi walks past him in his new protest point, Embassy Row, he lashes out. Here are the following alleged insults hurled by this prince of the church at a man who claims to have been sexually abused by a priest at the age of 15: "You are a loser. You are a loser with a camera. You are a total loser." (Sei un fallito. Sei un fallito come fotografo. Sei un fallito totale) March 19, 2010 "I do not speak with crazies" (No parlo con i pazzi, in response to Wojnowski's request in Italian for a brief chat with the Nuncio) May 3, 2009 "Imbecile. Cretin. I am ashamed of you, a gift to the enemies of the Church." (Deficiente cretino per mi vergogno di te, un dono hai nemici de la chiessa) March 21, 2009 "Cretin" (Cretino) Feb. 18, 2009 "Tool. Paid idiot." (Strumentallizzato. Idiota pagato.) Jan. 19, 2009 "Idiot" (Idiota) Jan. 10, 2009 "I am ashamed of you. You are a pig" (Mi vergogno di te. Sei un porco, Sambi's answer to Wojnowski's question: Excellency, are you ashamed to dress as a priest?) Dec. 28, 2008 "Imbecile. Cretin." (Imbecille. Cretino) Dec. 21, 2008 "Moron" (Deficiente). Nov. 20, 2008 "Perfect Moron" (Perfetto Deficiente) Nov. 1, 2008 "Shame. Shame. Shame. Shame. You are a fetid pervert." (Schemo. Schemo. Schemo. Schemo. Sei un pervertito fetente.) Oct. 21, 2008 "Crazy. Crazy. Moron," (Pazzo. Pazzo. Deficiente). Oct. 15, 2008 "I am not for sale, like you are" (Spoken in English) Sept. 5, 2008 "Paid Imbecile." (Pagato imbecile) Aug. 31, 2008 "You are paid. You have no dignity" (Ti hanno pagato. No hai dignita) Aug. 17, 2008 "So there, idiot. A paid idiot (Ecco Idiota, un idiota pagato) Aug. 16, 2008
