Do I go through the Operator, or just dial 2-2-0?
It’s a direct line. Just ask for Ben.
No joke: when we visited the Vatican, our priest arranged for use to be greeted by a Polish nun at St. Peter’s Square to plow past the Swiss Guard and see some things normally off-limits. She was an international telephone switchboard operator for the Vatican. When she later came to visit our priest on vacation, she stayed at our home. I almost died when I saw her copy of the official Vatican phone directory (she had to get it out to make a call). I was SOOOOO tempted to sneak in and grab it from her room while she was asleep so I could make a photocopy!!!
