After 46 years, papal jewelry up for auction in US


RALEIGH, North Carolina: A lavishly jeweled cross and a ring once owned by Pope Paul VI are heading to auction on eBay.

The items have turned up at a U.S. store owned by a Southern Baptist with a flair for self-promotion. It's the latest stop on a strange journey involving luminaries ranging from UN Secretary General U Thant to Evel Knievel, and which began with Paul VI's novel decision to allow some of his jewelry to be sold to raise money for charity.
