It may not be pearly, but the Vatican is opening a new gate in its centuries-old walls. The Vatican, the world's smallest sovereign state, said Tuesday it would open a new gate Friday -- to be used only by cars and pedestrians leaving the Catholic enclave. The seat of the papacy is a small place, so the event is big local news -- worthy of a one-and-a-half page statement from the "office of the governor."
So, even if you didn't like or necessarily agree with him, JPII took on Communism and the liberation of Poland and things like that. BXVI.......installs gates.
And there was much rejoicing.
