“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Many Catholic laypeople traveled overnight from around Italy and some from other countries to get to Rome for the rally. Absent were Catholic bishops, but there were some priests. Nevertheless, it was a lay event. The speeches were crisp, the enthusiasm was palpable. The organizers are to be congratulated. Prosit!
The nearly unbelievable fact on this is, that it made it as a topic into the german news. It was in the “Tagesschau”, whick usually ignores Demos like the “March of life”.
Whick=which
(Of course)
The Holy Farher’s speech was very moving as well. Oh wait…
What does SPAGLIATO mean? Is that some gay marriage advocate?
“Wrong is wrong even if it were to become law.”
Admiral-GER: glad to hear the report that “Tagesschau” in Germany covered the march. That really is something! In the USA, both Fox News Channel and ABC Radio made mention of it, the latter even had a brief interview from the march.
Dear Absit,
sbagliato means “wrong”. It would be the perfect name for a gay marriage advocate indeed ;-).
I went there with my family – I, my wife and four sons – by car: from my home in northern Italy, 650 km and back.
It really was extraordinarily moving, also my sons were in tears. But the pope didn’t say a single word to us, or about us: not a word yesterday, not a word today at the Angelus. Without his support all main newspapers are already dismissing everything as the show of a bunch of isolated bigots. It’s really disheartening – disheartening.
