It's been a good century since they started doing that. No correlation to cancer or anything.
That's not... entirely true.
There WAS a 600% increase childhood leukemia among children raised within 4 miles of the Vatican Radio AM transmitter. However, in that situation the Holy See was operating their antenna at over twice the maximum legal power output permitted in Italian law (which they ignore).
The signal was so strong it could be picked up on telephone lines as a phantom signal throughout Rome even with noise cancellers. As in, you pick up your telephone and in the background you'd faintly hear Vatican Radio. Get close enough to the antenna and you could hear it on just a speaker with a length of wire connected to nothing.

As in, you pick up your telephone and in the background you'd faintly hear Vatican Radio. Get close enough to the antenna and you could hear it on just a speaker with a bare wire on one terminal.

As in, you pick up your telephone and in the background you'd faintly hear Vatican Radio. Get close enough to the antenna and you'd hear it on the speaker of an unplugged radio (the raw power output was driving the speaker just from the energy absorbed inside the radio's wiring).
