How Sweet... Saudi King Gives Pontiff a Sword

Slice and Dice...

The perfect gift for every Christian religious leader on your list.
Do you suppose the Holy Father got a bit nervous after he opened the box?

Considering the Kingdom just whacked off three heads earlier this month you couldn't blame Benedict XVI if he was a bit skittish.

It's perfect for those hard to slice Vatican vegetables.

There was a report that the two discussed Christian worship in the Kingdom during the historic meeting.

    Beautiful sword but it does seem chock full of symbolism and innuendo.

    Wonder if it's optimized for a head of lettuce.

  3. Christians don't live by the sword, but know how to use it.
