New JPII Statue in France

Say what you want about the French, but this is a good thing.

A statue of late Pope John Paul II stands over the people who gathered for the inauguration of the artwork Sunday, Dec. 10, 2006, in Ploermel, western France. The giant statue was made by controversial Russian artist Zurab Tsereteli, President of the Russian Fine Arts and is a gift from the artist to his friend, the mayor of Ploermel, Paul Anselin.
