Archdiocesan Catholics pay tribute to late pontiff following beatification
Among the more than 1 million people who gathered on May 1 in Rome for the historic beatification of Pope John Paul II were Catholics from the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Anthony and Anita Campo and their daughter, Gabrielle, arrived in Rome the day before the beatification. Seminarian Martin Rodriguez is living at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. And Msgr. Joseph Schaedel has been on sabbatical in the city for three months. They shared their experiences of being present for the beatification and their appreciation of Blessed John Paul II with The Criterion in e-mails sent hours after the liturgy. (Page 16A)
