John XXIII, Benedict XVI, and the “speech to the moon”
Tonight there was a candlelight procession in Rome from Castel Sant’Angelo to St. Peter’s Basilica. Benedict XVI spoke to the crowd and made a reference to the famous – especially because it was informal – speech to the crowds by … Continue reading
A newsreel account of the opening of Vatican II

I thought the mention of Telstar and Card. Mindszenty were interesting:
