Day 9 started off in San Giovanni Rotondo but ended rather wistfully in San Michele. Religio staffers went on a guided tour of the shrine of Padre Pio and spent the day interviewing pilgrims and local residents. We then arrived in San Michele for a visit to the Sanctuary of Saint Michael, a shrine dedicated to the Archangel.

Day 8 saw Religio ease in, somewhat wearily, to our San Giovanni Rotondo surroundings. We went on a tour of Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza hospital, and walked around town, discovering the varying shapes and sizes Padre Pio comes in, porcelain or bronze...

Day 6 saw a temporary leave from contemplating the Catholic Church, after a morning with the Pope that is. We headed to the Islamic Cultural Center of Rome, informally referred to as The Mosque of Rome, for a tour of the breathtaking Mosque. The class took advantage of an unexpected free hour to take in some sights, namely the Piazza di Spagna.

Day 5 was a heady mix of religious men. From Fr. Siluan Span, the priest of the Romanian Orthodox church outside of Rome to Cardinal James Stafford, our class saw it all and brought cameras along to document. The day was also peppered with our usual meanderings about the city.

Day 4 saw the class get lost in the Vatican Museum. While some of us stared deep into Michelangelo's depiction of Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, others climbed to the top of St. Peter's, taking arial snaps of Rome. We also visited the Community of Sant'Egedio and the Santa Maria in Trestevere Church.

Day 3 of our Roman expedition saw a visit to the Pontifical North American College, Mass at the NAC Seminary, Angelus with the Pope in St. Peter's Square, a conference with the Archbishop of Canterbury and a dinner with Fathers Wauck and Keenan. What a day!

Day 2 in Rome saw the Religio team venture into various churches. After meeting with Father Wauck of the Pontifical College of the Holy Cross in St. Peter's Square, we headed to Ponte Sant'Angelo Methodist Church, followed by a tour of the Russian Orthodox Church — but not before a quick meeting with the representative of the Press Office of the Holy See. Our action-packed day was topped of with a tour of Professor Stille's favorite Roman sites.
