Pope Cancels, Crowd Applauds (but not why you think)

I’m guessing since we’re a public radio program a good number of you probably heard Sylvia Poggioli’s piece (I just love her style of reporting) on the brouhaha at Rome University. There’s a healthy debate going on within the Roman Catholic Church about the pope’s current proclamations and his former papers as Cardinal Ratzinger. But, I have to applaud the graciousness of the crowd. Would students at a U.S. university have reacted in the same way?

What’s your read on the reaction?
