Phespirit goes to Vatican City
The Holy See     February/March 2002

GOD'S OWN COUNTRY

As seen from Castel Sant' Angelo:

The dome of St. Peter's Basilica lit by the hazy sunshine of late afternoon.

THE POPE SPEAKS

Observe the desiccated pontiff himself .....

   "The Roman Pontiff, as the successor of Peter, is the perpetual and visible principle and foundation of unity of both the bishops and of the faithful."   LUMEN GENTIUM, 23

..... God help the lot of them.

PHESPIRIT AND OTHER SAINTS

Phespirit stands on the roof of St. Peter's, back to back with Jesus, John the Baptist and a selection of apostles.

Unlike Phespirit, the backs of the statues are much rougher than the front.
