"On Wednesday an estimated 15,000 people spent hours in the drizzle in front of the Saint Benedict monastery waiting to welcome the Pope to where he is staying during his time in São Paulo. The crowds greeted him with football-style chants of “Olé, olé, olé, olé, Bento, Bento” as he appeared on a balcony. He gave a four-minute greeting and blessing."
