Check out Susan's post and compare the pope's ferula (which differs from a bishop's crozier which is shaped like a shepherd's crook and is usually a ball with a cross) to the satanic stang. Hmmm....Sure looks like a stang doesn't it! Ann Barnhardt has a chilling article about the stang and the pope's use of it here. Of course the youth who gave it to the pope had a different explanation for it, (Surprise!) but that would be expected wouldn't it? The devil can appear as an angel of light.
