I saw so many people yesterday!

- Cardinal Camillo Ruini, vicar general of His Holiness for the diocese of Rome.

- Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, dean emeritus of the College of Cardinals.

- Archbishop Angelo Comastri, vicar general of His Holiness for Vatican City and president of the Fabric of St. Peter's.

- Five members of the presidency of the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM):

- Cardinal Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa, archbishop of Santiago de Chile, president.

- Bishop Carlos Aguiar Retes of Texcoco, Mexico, first vice president.

- Archbishop Geraldo Lyrio Rocha of Vitoria de Conquista, Brazil, second vice president.

- Archbishop Pedro Rubiano Saenz of Bogata, Colombia, treasurer.

- Bishop Andres Stanovnik O.F.M. Cap., of Reconquista, Argentina, secretary general.

The Latin American Episcopal Council was my favorite because I was able to work on my Spanish. For some reason I kept blurting out 'El Pollo Tonto!' because that's one of my favorite things to say in that language.

The rest of the guests were all cardinals, bishops and archbishops... just standard business. I kept nodding off during one of their appearances, it was a bit embarassing. The discussion was rediculously boring, and I was in the mood to dream about a unified Church rather than talk about one.
