CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XVI made a good-natured complaint about being over-scheduled as he spoke on June 4 to members of the National Italian American Foundation.
Apologizing for his late arrival at the private audience, the Pope said: “The Vatican scheduling system puts four audiences all at the same time. That way, unfortunately, you have to wait for me and not vice versa.”
