Any estimate on the number of people who attended? None of the pictures really give any indication of it.

It's a consecration.  What's there to cherry pick?
I second that.

Counting the chairs, which were almost completely filled; there was one section on each side of the processional aisle, each with 15 rows, and 15 chairs per row.  15x15x2=450 chairs
Great turnout. 
Very distracting audio problems, which I hope can be edited out with the finished product of video that will be available.

For what reason was A/V recording forbidden?
.
Especially in a day and age where so many clerics are spuriously ordained or consecrated, the more proof the better!  It's important for clerics to be able to ease the minds of those who approach them for sacraments, especially if they are coming from without.
The reason given by Father Ringrose, to the entire congregation just prior to the consecration Mass, was that this is a sacred religious ceremony and not to be treated irreverently or like some media spectacle.  They didn't want folks who were supposed to be prayfully assisting to instead be standing up or entering the aisles to take videos and photos, thereby distracting themselves and others.  Unfortunately, several people disobeyed this, and some even entered the processional aisle during the consecration to take videos.  Sad.

I got a TON of pictures to go through...here are a couple to start.

I've been incredibly busy though. I've hardly seen much of my hotel room. All the days I've been here. No time to kick back, relax, or any of that.
The closest to "relaxing" has been socializing with and meeting Catholics from all over. But that isn't the same as resting or getting pictures/video processed...
