description:  This practical joke artwork is a CD case with a printed insert explaining what is inside.  Upon opening the CD, the joke is realized that the "4th class relic" (something blessed by the pope) is but a mere orange piece of plastic fence, which lined the streets of St. Louis for crowd control when the pope drove by in his "pope-mobile" blessing everything that was in his path.
