(20 Aug 07 - RV ) As Pope Benedict XVI mentioned in his Sunday Angelus the Rimini
Meeting for friendship among peoples opened yesterday. The theme for this the 28th
edition is “Truth the destiny for which we have all been made”. For the first time
ever, mass opening the weeklong event was presided over by the Vatican secretary of
state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, who in his homily warned against the loss of the
meaning of truth in today’s society.
