It was back in early November that I made some postings from Rome, and some about my trip when I got back. (You can see them from our Rome tag, but the first and fourth returns there are not from that trip.) Since I was not in any of the pictures I took, there may have been some cynics in our readership who wondered if I really went to the Eternal City.
Now there is proof! Miss Hilary White, a Canadian writer working in Rome, happened to snap a picture of me and her friend, Eric. They saw me on the train and we stuck up a conversation. To see the picture, go here, and scroll down all the way, appropriately enough, to the bottom. Carefully noting the train stops over my head, the trained eye will notice Roman stations being named. If my smile looks rather maniacal, it may be due to the fact that I was walking all around Rome before that train ride.
When I ran into Eric and Hilary on the train, I recognized them (as they did me) from that morning’s Mass at Santa Trinita dei Pellegrini. I thought they were just nice mild mannered traditional Catholics. I did not know I was being photographed by LifeSiteNews.com’s Rome correspondent, whose articles I had been reading for a while.
You can see Miss White pictured here, with Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke, whom she interviewed for an article on Holy Communion and pro-abort politicians.
Miss White’s blog, Orwell’s Picnic, is worth reading. I especially like her Suggestion for Pope Benedict.
