Irresistibly gorgeous. And why? Because we give our best for the sanctum sanctorum (the sanctuary - the holy of holies).
Mitre of Benny XV and tiara of Pius IX, both used by Pius XII from 1939 on.

I am so looking forward to this exhibition's next stop - which will be directly here in Berlin, from January 22, in the Charlottenburg Palace. And the Catalogue will be published in German, too.
This is wonderful. I wish Pope Benedict XVI would beging wearing the Papal Tiara. Not likely.
But maybe the fanon, and the Sedia.
These conferences and exhibits , and the huge Papal Mass in honor of Pope Pius XII was stunning, magnificent, and overwhelming.
But look at who wasn't really commemorated. Although they had a Mass for him (celebrated by a delegate and a brief Papal appearance), there was no Papal Mass, exhibits, or huge commemoration of John XXIII either on the web, EWTN-TV, or in any Catholic newspaper....except maybe the liberal National Catholic Reproter rag. Noting. Not a mention of John XXIII. Nada. How times change. For the better.
I'm a graduate student and tour operator living in Rome, Italy. Life is good. Studium Urbis! P.S. To know history is to be Catholic. P.P.S. Schedule your tour with us while in Rome.
