It wasn't Mussolini

In the recent discussions concerning the judgement of the European Courts of Human Rights concerning the placing of crucifixes in public buildings in Italy, many of the commentariat in the media have been saying that they appeared there as a result of the concordat between the Vatican and Mussolini. No they didn't; they were there before Mussolini was born. See Anna Arco's Diary. But then the atheist media never let the facts get in the way of a good anti-Catholic story.
