No, actually they are protesting because nobody asked them what they thought about the pope's visit, it was all decided between the rector and the Vatican.
They are also pissed because the pope's speech wasn't supposed to be a dialogue (something they would have embraced, according to statements); this in itself is pretty out of place, starting off a new academic year in the biggest secular university in Europe with the pope's intervention is a clear message that the staff and students don't want to promote, i.e. that they are somehow linked to the Vatican and share the same beliefs.
Dialogue? Sure, why not. A speech imposed from the above from the head of the Catholic church, infamous for his inflaming statements about Galileo and the muslim world? Maybe not.
I may be saying something already known or discused, but a filtering system like on/. could in fact be the answer. People give points instead of voting for deletion, and the user could set his/her threshhold on any level, ths being able to see only the greatly approved stories or also the less known ones.
Storage space could be a problem, though.
