THE POPE IN BAGNOREGIO - 1


The Holy Father left Bagnoregio to return to Castel Gandolfo shortly after 7 p.m. today, according to TusciaWeb's running online coverage. The dedicated site of the Diocese of Viterbo already has the text of the Holy Father's address to the people of Bagnoregio online (will post as soon as translated) - it's a wonderful though necessarily brief homage to St. Bonaventure and to human hope that comes with faith in Christ.

Very appropriately, the Pope addressed the townspeople from the Piazza San Agostino, on which is found the town's monument to its most eminent son, St. Bonaventure, and the Co-Cathedral of San Nicola (photo above, and below), where his relic is venerated.
