Pope Loses Battle With Peace-Symbol Dove

A funny story. His Holiness releases a peace dove, who promptly flies back to the safety of the Pontiff's apartment.

I give HH credit for taking it lightly and with good humor. It seems telling though that the bird seemed to know what little peace was to be found in the outside world. And I wish the Vatican would spend more time saving souls and less time saving lives (or at least gesturing symbolically in that direction), which is a secondary concern.
