Habemus... something.


It is sad, actually.

In the Minor Basilica of San José de Flores, in the city of Buenos Aires, a large statue of Saint Pius X was "re-dedicated" on May 1, 2011, by the Rector, with the blessing of the Apostolic Nuncio in Argentina, Abp. Adriano Bernardini: actually, the old statue of Saint Pius X had a new "mask" applied and was completely (and not very elegantly) repainted and is now the image of the newly beatified pope. And they thought nobody would notice it...

Behold Saint Blessed John Pius Paul X & II - made in Italy, remade in Argentina.

Now, this is not extraordinary. This is ordinary.
