In the wake of the shameful La Sapienza University disaster, His Emminence Camillo Cardinal Ruini, the Vicar of Rome, called for Romans to show their support for the Holy Father Benedict XVI by showing up at this afternoon's Angelus Address.Apparently they did.
Asia News estimates a crowd of more than 200,000! Compare that to the average attendance.
Some held banners saying, "You did not come to us. We come to you."
Commenting on the whole affair, the Holy Father said, "I am bound to the university environment, which was my world for many years, by the love for the search for truth, for debate, for the frank and respectful dialogue on the positions in question".
To His Holiness, I say: I'll see you soon!
