The Pope turned away in Rome

Following the protests of several university professors and students, Pope Benedict XVI has had to cancel his visit scheduled for January 17th at the University of Sapioneza in Rome. He was going to deliver a speech to inaugurate the academic year. Isabelle de Gaulmyn, the daily's Rome correspondent, considers that there has been a misunderstanding. "To make out the Pope as an enemy of science is actually a refusal to read him seriously. The rapprochement of science and faith is actually one of his favourite topics. This rather inglorious polemic, fomented by university teachers and students, shows a serious degradation of the relationship between the Pope and part of the Italian population following other such cases (his criticism of Rome's management later withdrawn by the Vatican, his recent intervention against abortion, badly received amid political debate)."
