Vatican denounces modernist John Paul II sculpture in Rome
The Vatican criticized a large bronze sculpture outside Rome's Termini station depicting John Paul II as an embracing figure, saying it does not resemble the pope and looks more like Mussolini to commuters. Rome mayor says public opinion will influence any decision on removal. The piece, funded by a foundation, marks what would have been the pope's 91st birthday amid Benedict's May 1 beatification ceremony.

Nurse dies in line with her care remembered by staff
Fox, a nurse, died as she lived by helping others. Director Ted Grace said counseling was offered for coworkers who suffered the loss, with few taking the option to leave early.
