How to see the pontiff?
How to see Pope Francis?
We will be in Rome from 10 to 15 December. I would like to see the pontiff. Previously, information came across all the time that the pontiff every Sunday (and Wednesday?) reads prayers at the open window of his residence and then blesses those gathered in St. Peter's Square from the window. Is it so? Now I can't find any information about it.
Another question: what is the "basilica of the Vatican"? Cathedral of St. Peter? The Pope's timetable indicates that on December 12 at 18.00 there will be mass in the Vatican Basilica. Are regular people allowed to attend these events?

I'll definitely listen...
Basilica - St. Peter's Cathedral is one and the same.
Well, how do ordinary people pray? There was no goal to "catch" the ponitiff, but more than once I noticed that the cathedral was fulfilling its direct functions!
And how not to let it????? St. Peter's Square serves this purpose, to accommodate parishioners

Hmm ... See, in my opinion, this is loudly said. We were in October on the day when the Pope delivered a speech on the canonization of the five martyrs
We arrived when everything was over and the people were leaving.
To say that there are a lot of people is to say nothing. True, thanks to this, we got to the cathedral almost without a queue, in just half an hour.
The territory of the square in front of the cathedral is always partitioned into sectors and there are a lot of guards there. Whether they let everyone in, I don't know. But I know that often during such events the cathedral is closed to the public.

I asked myself - I will answer myself))) Maybe it will come in handy for someone ...
As it turned out - everything is very easy and simple.
Everything is done through the Prefecture of the Papal Court. Official website of the Prefecture vatican.va. This site has published the Pope's schedule for the year ahead - the exact dates and times are indicated.
You can see the Pope almost every Sunday at 12-00. The event is called Angelus - he reads a prayer in the window and blesses those present in the square.
There are also general audiences - held mainly on Wednesday mornings. A ticket is required to enter the general audience. To do this, you need to write a letter to the Prefecture, which is sent by mail or fax. The form of the letter can be downloaded from the website vatican.va.
A similar system with papal masses is entry by tickets, which are also obtained in a similar way.
All tickets are distributed free of charge.
Perhaps tickets had to be ordered several months in advance, and they would not be available in a month. But, the attempt is not torture, I will send letters tomorrow.

Entry to Angelus is free, no tickets are required.
General audiences are held in the great hall, not in the square. This is what it looks like http://www.vatican.va/various/prefettura/immagini/index_viaggi.jpg

Letters to the Vatican were sent by fax and Ukrpochta. Today we received an e-mail message that we have been allocated tickets for the audience of the Pope and the mass that the Pope will celebrate in St. Peter's Cathedral.
So everything turned out to be quite simple.
