Anyone know the Vatican changed its position on the Iraq war last year?

<snip>As the health of John Paul II declined, Sodano was part of an inner circle, including Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who governed the Vatican. On occasion, Sodano issued important policy statements.

Last October, for example, he unveiled a new Vatican stance on Iraq that replaced its unbending opposition to the U.S.-led war, saying that governments must help stabilize and rebuild the country.

"The child has been born," Sodano said then. "It may be illegitimate, but it's here, and it must be reared and educated."
