livingentity Posted March 17, 2003 Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 March 14 — VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The Gospels say Jesus gave the apostle Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven, thereby entrusting him with the spiritual guidance of the faithful. Now the Vatican has lost them. Vatican authorities were searching on Thursday for the left hand -- the one holding the keys -- of a 13th-century marble statue of the apostle in St. Peter's Basilica after the hand and keys mysteriously vanished. Carved from a separate block of marble attached to the arm by a metal rod, the hand would have been relatively easy to remove. The Vatican was tight-lipped about what might have happened to it, saying only it was missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingentity Posted March 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2003 might be the only think that will work on them! I pray the pope listens and loses his taste for flesh and quits ripping little calfs from their mothers to satisfy the pleasures of his tongue.
