CWN Editor's Note: The Vatican has announced that three sculpture fragments from the Parthenon, which have been on display in the Vatican Museums, will be returned to Greece.

The Vatican said that the marble sculptures will be a “donation” to the Orthodox Archbishop of Athens. But the transfer is obviously a response to pressure for the return of cultural artifacts.
