I know the fun answers (and choose to believe them a little), but what was the real (cover) story?

He's out doing what I am sure he thinks of as diplomatic meetings. The pope might be the leader of a criminal organisation, but he is generally thought of as a legitimate world leader. JD spoke with the Italian PM while he was there as well, and I think he has moved on to India now where he will meet with various politicians and attend cultural events.

VPs do this kind of thing all the time, it just seems weird because no one can take him seriously.
