THE Vatican has spurned NSW Police security advice and will this morning announce that the Pope plans to stand in the open on the steps of Sydney's St Mary's Cathedral for a World Youth Day event.
Police had advised the Vatican to stay quiet regarding the plan for Benedict XVI to preside over a re-enactment of the last supper, one of the Catholic Church's stations of the cross.
The forecourt of St Mary's is unfenced and it is thought the police remain concerned about possible assassination attempts.
A World Youth Day spokeswoman would not comment on the Pope's security, but it is understood the cordon around the pontiff has been tightened since he was mentioned in Osama bin Laden's latest audio message earlier this year.
The Vatican's announcement comes after the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies yesterday announced it had "some serious concerns" about certain stations-of-the-cross scenes scheduled tobe staged across Sydney on July 18, two days before the massive papal mass at Randwick Racecourse.

In the secular/progressive media there is no greater “sin” than frank, clear-eyed assessments of right and wrong, good and evil.
If the muzzies want to start something that will be their downfall, harm one little white hair on PBXVI’s head and watch the tenor of inter-faith dynamics change.
Huh? Since when was the Last Supper one of the stations of the cross?
