Just trivia!
Barcelona is the headquarters of the newly forming Mediterranean Union
I just noticed that the Spirit of Assisi interfaith gathering is to be in Barcelona in 2010
Looking up the Spirit of Assisi on the Vatican site below I found the following paragraph interesting.....

It made me think back to the Sanhedrin thread re: Noah and the Noahide laws.

«THE SPIRIT OF ASSISI»
The spirit of Assisi: it was Pope John Paul II who coined the expression. Since October 27th 1986, this "spirit" has been felt a little everywhere, losing none of the power of its first flowering. I have no intention of playing the old gardener, but, having been a fascinated witness of its germination in the Pope's thought and the privileged artisan of its blooming, I feel I can affirm: on that day I heard the world's heart-beat. A brief meeting on a hill, a word or two, a gesture, sufficed for fragmented humanity to joyfully rediscover its original unity. When, at the end of a grey morning, a rainbow appeared in the sky over Assisi, those leaders of religions, called together by the audacious prophet of one of them, Pope John Paul II, saw in it a pressing call to brotherhood: no one could doubt that it was prayer which had won this visible sign of concord between God and the descendants of Noah.
