    To quote Max Bialystock from The Producers: “If you’ve got it, flaunt it!”

    Does anyone else see the screaming faces of people in that thorny wall; and was anyone else imagining Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana O Fortuna playing in their head when they looked at that photo?

    I think it is a bit too inconspicuous. It could use more bling.

    A nice gilded coat and it’ll look Sistine Chapel-perfect.

    Wait. Wait. Just wait a minute. IT’S NOT A PHOTOCHOP?
    No, it’s not!

    If his choice in decorating is a reflection in his character…then I would say the Pope is EVIL!

    This photo is from the papal audience room. The sculpture is a representation of Christ’s resurrection.

    Description from the artist, Pericle Fazzini:
    ”Suddenly there came to me the idea of Christ preaching peace for 2,000 years, and the place where He prayed for the last time: the olive grove of Gethsemane,” said Mr. Fazzini in a book about the work. ”I had the idea of depicting Christ as if He were rising again from the explosion of this large olive grove, peaceful site of His last prayers. Christ rises from this crater torn open by a nuclear bomb; an atrocious explosion, a vortex of violence and energy.”

    ”The Resurrection” is molded in red bronze and yellow brass and measures 66 feet by 23 feet by 10 feet.
