Pope Benedict XVI tries on a firefighter's helmet during a visit to a Guardia di Finanza barracks in L'Aquila April 28, 2009. Pope Benedict comforted survivors of Italy's earthquake on Tuesday and asked God to heed the "silent cry" of its victims rising from the earth. During a four-hour visit to the central Italian region devastated on April 6, he called for a "serious examination of conscience" about the destruction caused by the quake, some of which has been blamed on shoddy construction.
