Pope all smiles at first public audience in six months, prays for Lebanon

1. I was in Rome and participated in the Angelus, held on Sundays in St. Peter's Square

I think even non-religious people would enjoy it, because the square is jammed with people from all over the world, and the atmosphere is almost like a sporting event, people holding up flags from their home countries and yelling to the pope to recognize them and their country. Very festive. When I was there a group from Germany sang in the square: they sounded like professionals. Really a lot of fun. Of course, Rome is a lot of fun, and you definitely don't have to be religious to enjoy it. So long as you like art and food.
