“Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: habemus Papam!” – We finally got Him! We are in Rome, St. Peter’s Square, in 1667: the new Pope has been elected and makes His first official appearance amongst two rows of cheering people, arrived from near and far. A staff of frantic workers is giving the final touch to the roof of the colossal Doric colonnades which frame the entrance to the world’s famous Basilica and the area which precedes it: they surely enclose the visitor with "the maternal arms of Mother Church" in the expression of his designer, Lorenzo Bernini. Follow me, I’ll explain what’s going on while we walk around the square!
