Have you seen the Vatican wall? It's over 50-feet high. It's over 50-feet high. It's not even the kind of wall [Donald] Trump's talking about building.
When you go to the Sistine Chapel with Sophia Loren, it can be quite some time before your thoughts turn to the ceiling.
The Vatican takes your breath away.
...centre of the centre, the real heart of Christianity as it has been until now.
Christians are to be taught that the pope would and should wish to give of his own money, even though he had to sell the basilica of St. Peter, to many of those from whom certain hawkers of indulgences cajole money.
I've been to the Vatican more than anyplace else outside this country in the world. I am mesmerized by it.
One of my greatest influences is the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
Once you go Vatican, you never go back again.
