of the Vatican which never before
have been pictured. among them

cardinals, bishops, priests and
church attendants. walking behind
the Pope down the world-famous
stairway.
The climax of the film showed
Pope Benedict mounting the Sedta

have journeyed to Rome to see
most of them in vain. The spell
that moving pictures weave upon
an audience was never more po-
