To the left of the main altar is a sculpture produced, again, by Bernini. Our picture of it is inadequate, but it is interesting to mention. The sculpture is honoring the pope's attempt to reunite Anglican and Catholic Church. To the right in this sculpture is a figure, representing the Catholic Church, with her foot resting on a globe of the earth. A THORN is positioned under her toe, which is resting upon the United Kingdom. Yes, the Anglican Church was quite a thorn in the foot of the Catholic Church at that time. The monument is very beautiful.
