Papal Vacation Has Begun: July 30, 2008




The Internet has everything! Pope Benedict XVI this year has returned to the Alpine village of Bressanone. This is a picture of the once Cardinal Ratzinger, brother, Msgr. Georg Ratzinger and an unidentified third party strolling in Bressanone several years ago. Brother Georg and the Pope vacation together regularly so that the two priests can spend time sharing their musical talents. Msgr Ratzingner was formerly the director of the choir at the Regensburg (Germany) Cathedral. One might suspect that the only lacking with be Julie Andrews who, with the brothers Ratzinger, could make the Bressanone hills come alive with the sounds of music!
