Various Italian news sources reported Sunday that a mild earthquake had struck Rome and surrounding areas, including Castel Gandolfo, the former pope's temporary home.
According to the Agence France-Presse, the earthquake had a local magnitude of 2.5 and was felt in Rome, Ciapino, Marino and Castel Gandolfo. So far, no reports of injury or serious damage have been relayed to the Italian Department of Civil Protection.
Italian news blog Blogo reported that, according to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, the quake originated at a depth of 10.5 kilometers.
Then, as now, some people speculated as to whether the act of nature was really a divine message. On Sunday, Italia Domani asked whether the earthquake wasn't a sign for the cardinals who will soon be choosing a new pope.

Republicans in Congress say they never need another raise
They seem all in favor to cut expenses before they will look at generating more income so there really is no reason for them to ask for more money. All they have to do is downsize. Sell that expensive car. Sell that fancy house. Put their kids in public schools(read that corporation schools), cut back on those fancy restaurants.
I salute them for setting the example for the masses.
