ROME ¨C Before dawn, Father Paolo Benanti climbed to the bell tower of his 16th-century monastery, admired the sunrise over the ruins of the Roman forum and reflected on a world in flux.
¡°It was a wonderful meditation on what is going on inside,¡± he said, stepping onto the street in his friar robe. ¡°And outside too.¡±
