[Relations between the Vatican and the United States have been the subject of recent litigation following the confirmation of a United States ambassador to the Vatican by the Senate on March 7, 1984. See Nomination of William A. Wilson to be Ambassador to the Holly See, Hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, 98th Cong., 2d Sess. (1984); S. Exec. Rep. 98-21, 98th Cong., 2d Sess. (1984). Two courts have thus far dismissed challenges to the appointment on the grounds that plaintiffs lacked standing and that the validity of the appointment was a nonjusticiable political question.
