Here is an amazing bit of technology that you would never see in person, as you would NEVER be alone in the room. It is ALWAYS VERYCROWDED and of course you can’t see Michaelangelo’s artwork close up as you can here. This is especially spectacular if you have a large high-definition screen! Too many details to view on an iPhone.

Speaking of the Sistine Chapel, according to Trumpet:
The choir of Westminster Abbey and the choir of the Sistine Chapel will perform together twice in late June. One of the performances will be in the Sistine Chapel. They will also perform a concert in Westminster Cathedral in May. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said the prayer and the performances are “a sign of moving together along the same path.” Pope Benedict xvi and the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams prayed together, yesterday, March 10, during evening prayers at a monastery near the Coliseum in Rome.
A stone cross from Canterbury will be erected in the church. The monastery is the same one from which Pope Gregory sent out monks to convert Britain to Catholicism in the sixth century.
