What do you make of this

What do you make of this?
Is the devil at work in the Vatican? Or is the Pope trying to get members of the Catholic Church to blindly believe any cock and bull story he throws at them? http://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/devil-is-at-work-in-vatican-says-churchs-top-exorcist-2095048.html

Neither.

I vote the latter.

any person of faith would agree - the devil is running rampant

Exorcists are like the medicine man or witch doctor of a voodoo tribe. Evil is symbolic, not a mean ghostly thing with wild powers to destroy.

Can you take pictures inside the Vatican Museums in Italy

Can you take pictures inside the Vatican Museums in Italy?
I have heard that you cannot take pics inside because flashes from camera can damage the art work, like the ceilings of the Sistine Chapel.

I was just there and you can take pictures inside the Vatican with flash. However no pictures are allowed the Sistine Chapel (you are not even allowed to talk in there). --We did sneak one without flash. The Vatican is amazing. Get there early b/c the line is so long to get in.

yess this is true. i went a couple years ago. you are alloweed to take pictures inside st. peters basilicca but not inside the museam cause the flashes could ruin the pictures.
3 :
Yes you can. Just don't use flash. You are not supposed to take pictures in the Sistine Chapel but I managed to snap off a dozen or so. Just be discreet and don't use flash. You need a steady hand when you are not using flash, as the exposure time will be a second or so longer. Here are some pictures I took at the Vatican, in Rome and Europe. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60178917@N00/
