This is Vicente Arenas blogging from Rome. It is 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
Wow, what a morning at St. Peter's Square.
There were all these people heading for the Vatican to see Pope Benedict the XVI.
I'm told there were about 13,000 people from all over the world to see the Pope during his weekly address to the public and the world.
That's were I met Deacon Jesse Tollett and his wife Linda.
Deacon Jesse is a commercial realtor and does his church work over at St. Luke the Evangelist on Hall Street in Southeast Houston.
We met the deacon and his wife over at St. Peter's Square.
They have come here to see Archbishop Daniel DiNardo become a Cardinal this weekend.
You should checkout the slideshow and some of the video clips of this morning's events.
I'll have the full story on 11 News at 5, 6 and 10.
