- <p> Once the highest-ranking American in the Vatican, Archbishop
- Paul Marcinkus fell on hard times when, as head of the Vatican
- Bank, he was implicated in the 1982 collapse of Italy's Banco
- Ambrosiano. Later, Italian police sought his arrest on criminal
- charges. A papal commission cleared him, and an Italian court
- threw out the charges against him. Last week, at 68, the
- Archbishop resigned as chief of the Vatican city-state and said
- he would return home to the U.S. to do "pastoral work." But he
- will shun his native Chicago and head for warmer climes. "After
- 40 years in Rome, your blood thins out," he says.
