After the candidates presented themselves, the pope asked his vicar for the Rome Diocese, Cardinal Camillo Ruini, "Are you sure they are worthy?" Cardinal Ruini said they were, based on information from seminary teachers and the wider Christian community.
As the candidates knelt before him one by one, the pope held their hands and asked them, "Do you promise to me and to my successors filial respect and obedience?" They answered, "Yes, I promise."
