If nothing else, just let this be a reminder of how news happens on this beat. Rocco Palmo FebruTo be clear, this scribe's nowhere near Rome if anything, this readership's widespread neglect of your part in this work hasn't allowed for a travel budget or anywhere close. Ratzi-Boom: word in St Peter's says that B16 will attend this morning's Consistory, his first joint liturgical appearance with the Pope. Thank you and goodnight!" And at 8pm on that incredible 28 February 2013, the Porta Centrale of Castel Gandolfo swung shut and the Swiss Guards stood down as the resignation of Benedict XVI took effect, and the Church of Rome fell vacant.Ībout an hour before this morning's Consistory began, a friend's generous word allowed these pages to break the story: Thank you for bringing yourselves – with all my heart, I give you my blessing…. Let us always move together toward the Lord for the good of the church and of the world.
With all my heart, with all my love, with my prayer and all my strength – with everything in me – I'd like to work for the common good of the church and all humanity. I'm no longer the Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic church – at least, at 8 o'clock I won't be – now I'm just a pilgrim beginning the last part of his journey on earth. You know that this day of mine hasn't been like those before. what had long been unthinkable came to pass – the Pope departed the Vatican, and left Peter's Chair behind:ĭear friends, I'm happy to be with you, that I can see the Creator's beauty around us, and all the goodness you've given to me – thank you for your friendship and your affection!
