Strange things heard on the radio...

We keep NPR playing softly on a radio in Michael's room at night. At midnight, they switch over to the BBC feed - nothing like listening to a glib British voice proclaiming it's 7am GMT at 2 in the morning. Last night, this is what I heard:

(mumble) Benedict (mumble, mumble, mumble) Vatican City

For whatever reason, my mind inserted the name "Dirk" in front of "Benedict" and I was wondering what the actor who played "Face" on The A-Team was doing in Vatican City and why the BBC was reporting on it.
