Agreed. One of the most remarkable events in modern history. Enjoyed seeing Cardinal Dulles in attendance as well. And how inconsequential it makes all politicians seem. (NT) whm 10:41:01 04/08/05 Fri

He gets a bad rap, but Cardinal Ratzinger's homily was extrememly well done and delivered exactly the write message. Also, he did the right thing by not interupting the cheers that erupted when he called for the final prayers. He knew to let the moment happen. (NT) -- bfg, 12:40:34 04/08/05 Fri

I was privileged three times to attend an event with the Holy Father. The last time was at The Vatican, during the Jubilee Year of 2000. That day, the Pope greeted pilgrims from 110 countries in their native languages, which was amazing in itself. Then, a pilgrim from the United States said that there was a special gift that day for the Holy Father from the United States pilgrims -- a performance by the Fordham University choir. This was quite a surprise for me, as we were traveling alone and not part of that pilgrimage. I gave my wife a big smile as our choir performed for the Pope. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, 13:53:57 04/08/05 Fri

Re: That must have been wonderful and it really illustrates the world stage upon which Fordham is readily recognized. (NT) -- Go...'gate, 18:34:34 04/08/05 Fri

Go..'Gate - Do you have relatives who attended Fordham? You seem to have a true fondness for our alma mater. (NT) -- Rambacker, 22:11:37 04/08/05 Fri

Re: I do have extended family members and several friends who went there (as well as Marymount) and really loved it, and I have great respect for the school. When Fordham joined the PL I was very pleased. (NT) -- Go...'gate, 22:52:41 04/08/05 Fri

Thanks for your interest in our program. (NT) -- Rambacker, 09:59:59 04/09/05 Sat
