AS SEEN ON TV: POPE PIUS XII

Another Lenten Sunday, and so I thought it would be appropriate to showcase another of the Church's Holy Fathers.....

This week, we have Pope Pius XII, "As Seen On TV" in a TV movie from 1983 called "The Scarlet And The Black". The movie starred Gregory Peck as Monsignor Hugh O'Flaherty and Christopher Plummer as SS Colonel Herbert Kappler. And co-starring as Pius is Sir John Gielgud.
I wish I had the photo of my father standing next to the real Pius XII, just to make the comparison... and to show off, of course.

BCnU!
