"The Vatican launched an official track team Thursday with the aim of
competing in international competitions as part of an agreement signed
with the Italian Olympic Committee.
"About 60 Holy See runners - Swiss Guards, priests,
nuns, pharmacists and even a 62-year-old professor who works in the
Vatican's Apostolic Library - are the first accredited members of
Vatican Athletics. It's the latest iteration of the Holy See's
long-standing promotion of sport as an instrument of dialogue, peace and
solidarity."
An Associated Press article reported on this Vatican Athletics initiative.
