Pope Benedict talked about that reading because it is the Gospel reading for this Sunday in Lent - and it had no direct connection to the situation in Ireland or anywhere else.
I was in the Square, so I heard the whole Angelus message - the message in Italian and French (the other two languages that the Pope spoke in that I can at least somewhat understand) was more or less the same. The message was a general one to the pilgrims in the Square about the Gospel.
Nope it's just General/Chat
