Pope focuses on St. Louis schools and vocations

Pope John Paul II recalled fond memories of his 1999 visit to St. Louis during a meeting in Rome this week with Archbishop Raymond Burke, mentioning the youth rally at the Kiel Center and Mass at what was then the Trans World Dome.

"He wanted to know about the challenge of our pastoral planning in the two deaneries. He was very interested in that,"...."And he asked about Cardinal Rigali," Burke added, laughing. Rigali, the former archbishop of St. Louis, now heads the church in Philadelphia.

[Archbishop] Burke is fluent in Italian and looks forward to spending time in Rome when he can. His favorite restaurant, Las Campanas, is an out-of-the-way spot where a waiter, Pietro, "has been there as long as I can remember," said Burke. The archbishop has strong feelings for several of Rome's churches, especially St. Mary Major and St. Paul Outside the Walls, two of the most important basilicas in the Catholic world.

All in all, this is a decent article from the Post.
