Peace doves prefer to stay with the Pope!

Each year, the children of Catholic Action of the Diocese of Rome celebrate January as a 'Month of Peace'. Therefore, two children assisted Pope Benedict XVI in releasing two peace doves from the window of his room overlooking St Peter's Square after he had led the Angelus yesterday. However, the doves were not too eager to leave, prompting the Pope to exclaim, 'Mamma mia! They want to stay in the house of the Pope!'
