Old Papal document discovered!!

Ahhh, Don't you just love winter cleaning? I'm sure the crew at St. Petri Cathedral do. After cleaning out the archives Birgit Mitzscherlich (the archive director) stumbled upon a old document. A 334 year old document. Also she noticed an unusual mark for the document. a mark that signified one thing--The Pope!
Yes, it seems that old Pope Innocent XI document had slipped away from France (rightful owner) and found it's way into Saxony, Germany. it seems that German soldiers from WW2 confiscated it and brought it to Germany. The crew at St. Petri was unaware of it's presence for some sixty-so years.
Mitzscherlich (archive director) is setting it out for display, for the public, but then is shipping it back to it's rightful owner (France).

the reason I chose this article is because i'm a big history buff, and any old document, ex-specially from a pope, is a very interesting find. And , it also shows you what a little bit of cleaning can do.

The reason why i picked this article, is to aware poeple that scams and fraud are alive and on the rise. Not only here in the states, but also Europe, and all over the world. With the rise of the "internet shopping", it is well known that third world countries train people to scam with money and on the internet.
