Those tapes saved me the other night...I wanted to see EWTN's repeat of the processional from the Apostolic Palace to St. Peter's, and they were rerunning it at 11. I doubted I'd stay awake for it all, and I was proven right.

If you can get your children to watch the whole thing, their attention span is amazing...I read today the funeral could run 2 1/2 to 3 hours. maybe on this thread.

Wow, there's just no way to keep that from screwing up your sleep schedule, lol.

I wonder how many people will be up to watch it...I'm going to be interested to look out my window at the other apartments in my complex to see if I'm the only one nuts enough to wake up at four to see it.

I've been down in those grottos. Pretty cramped space. I don't think that they are open to the public anymore. I was there in 1968.

I was there in 1973 and again in 2001. In 2001 we were able to go down the steps but not a lot further, if memory serves.

If memory serves, John XXIII was still down there in 1968 and that's where we went. Don't remember how far down it was.... I was not nearly impressed enough at the age of 19.

I thought he was down there when I was there in 2001 but now I'm not sure. I haven't seen when they moved him. I do know it was a big draw when I was there as a teenager in '73.

As you know, professor, "piazza" is Italian for "plaza."

There are many other piazzas in Rome. I can list them if you'd like.


One should always be careful about being hoisted with one's own petard. There are not many piazzas in Rome, there are many piazze. ;-)
