• VATICAN CITY (AP) -- They entered the Sistine Chapel in tuxedoes and gowns, the clacking of high heels on marble competing with the Latin chants of a choir filling the frescoed hall.
• The donors to the Vatican Museums got serious VIP treatment during their recent visit to Rome: lectures on museum restoration projects, catered dinners in museum galleries, a vespers service in the Sistine Chapel celebrated by papal prefect Monsignor Georg Gaenswein -- and even a one-on-one with Pope Francis himself.

• For starters, all it takes is $500 a year to join the Patrons of the Vatican Museums, the fundraising organization that hosted last week's extravaganza. The events marking the Patrons' 30th anniversary did cost significantly more -- $1,900 a head for the entire five days of Vatican pampering -- but even that price seems a relative bargain given that a single New York fundraiser, without pope or music under Michelangelo, might run $1,000 a head or more.
