Pius XII, Co-Conspirator in Tyrannicide

The great Piazza San Pietro is a five minute walk from where I’m living during Synod-2015. About three-quarters of the Square is bounded the famous Bernini colonnades, which reach out from the Vatican basilica as if to embrace the world. Along the open “front” of the Piazza and along the perimeter of the colonnades, a broad white stripe is embedded in the street.  The casual visitor might mistake it for a kind of “No Parking” sign.
