We were standing before a beautiful Cope of Pope Pius XII and I was telling Christopher he was Pope when I was born and how I remember, vaguely, his death and the following conclave ect.

I started to tell him that, soon, the only Pope he has ever known...

and then I had to turn away because I began crying.

I saw a similar exhibition in Denver about ten years ago, "The Treasures of the Vatican", and remember coming away amazed and moved as well. The monstrances stood out for me too.

I agree, it is a must see.

I have family in Houston. Maybe I'll scheme a way to let them think I want to visit them, heh, heh. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
