They're not shouting the dirge, "Death to America!" On the contrary, these sun-baked and spirit-filled pilgrims shout: "Long live the Pope!" Such a radiant joy as this image emerged last Saturday, the Vigil of Pentecost!
From the scabbard of the Holy Ghost the fierce Catholic warriors of today are borne. The Vatican is our neighbouring home away from home. From the pavilion of Saint Peter's Square, we meet to pray and praise together as one. Marvellous that we are splayed into the world not alone, but of many!
