ROMA, December 20, 2006 – Cardinal Camillo Ruini, the pope’s vicar for the diocese of Rome, periodically meets with his priests to present and discuss pastoral projects, liturgical questions, catechesis, etc.
But on Thursday, December 14, he made a spectacular break from the program.
He convened the priests behind closed doors in the main hall of the Pontifical Lateran University, to give them a lecture on nothing less than the “heart” of the teaching of Benedict XVI.
Joseph Ratzinger, as explained by Ruini. This announcement was enough by itself to fill the hall beyond capacity. Many priests had to remain standing, while others were seated on the stairs. All of them were holding a text to follow the lecture more attentively, which they did in an impressive silence.
