Insider's look at the sorrow in Rome

My college, the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN, owns a residence campus in Rome, primarily for students from my Catholic Studies department (and others) to livie in while studying in Rome. The director of the Bernardi residence, Thanos Zyngas, relates in the article linked below his perspective on the recent events in Rome, of the days since Friday's announcement that the Holy Father was very sick. Well worth a read.
