As I had a very late start yesterday, I was able to post 'OR today' for 11/10-11/11 last night, but I will re-post it
since there has been a page change, and to account for today's Vatican news.
OR for 11/10-11/11:
The three-level banner headline tries to cover the main messages of the Holy Father after the Angelus prayer on Sunday,
starting with his lament over rising food prices resulting in tragic famine among the poorest nations, and his appeal
for peace in the Congo's North Kivu, but focusing on his words to mark the 70th anniversary of Kristallnacht,
the event that marked Nazi Germany's open persecution of the Jews (photos show two synagogues burned that night):
'Never again horrors provoked by anti-Semitism and discrimination'
There is a featured editorial commentary on what Germans now call Pogromnacht instead of Kristallnacht, by Jewish writer Anna Foa,
and a longer inside story on the historical facts about the event. Other Page 1 stories: the Holy Father's address to Bolvian bishops
on ad-limina visit (photo below); and two Italian nuns kidnapped in Kenya and taken to Somalia.
The Holy Father has no scheduled events today, as it is Tuesday.
A news conference was held on the XXIII International Conference sponsored by the Pontifical Council
for Health Ministry which will take place at the Vatican Nov, 13-15. The theme this year is the care of
sick children.
