An American in Rome

B-16 announced that he's creating a new department at the Vatican to combat secularism in the advanced Christian countries. With all the congregations (departments) and offices already in the Vatican, with their cardinal-bishops and titular archbishops and titular bishops (those who work full-time there and not in dioceses), do they really need another department in the Vat?

If I were pope, I'd reduce the whole scene to four departments corresponding to the Church's three basic mission activities (worship, education, service [charities] ) supported by the fourth (administration: personnel, finance, law). But then they'd probably impeach old Pope Gargoyle I.
