Go back to the article.
First paragraph.

"Just listen to a Vatican official, who is an American: "People in
Rome are becoming more and more aware that there's a problem with John
Kerry, and a potential scandal with his apparent profession of his
Catholic faith and some of his stances, particularly abortion." "

It says "Vatican official" and "People in Rome".
They weren't talking about church officials *in* America.

Of course you had said this:

"That is funny, Mr. Seeberger, because in that article almost all of
the
references were to officials in the Catholic Church of the United
States.
 The only reference to the Vatican I found in the article was the
following:

The Vatican issued last year a "doctrinal note" warning Catholic
lawmakers
that they have a "grave and clear obligation to oppose any law that
attacks
human life.
For them, as for every Catholic, it is impossible to promote such laws
or to vote for them.""

Obviously you inadvertently skipped the very first paragraph.
