The Popes visit....

[Eagler]

It's a Public Relations tour to boost sagging interest in the catholic church by americans. Due to the scandals membership has fallen and a lot of the catholic schools are having enrollment problems also. It's nice IMO he came directly here himself to address the heads of the U.S. catholic churchs about the issues that have really tarnished the catholic religion. I'm not catholic but it seems like a good thing and hopefully some positive changes will come out of it.

LOL
Sure it is ... the Vatican tell you that personally?

I don't think his visit with boost catholic recruitment at all.
I do think his visit historic as good souls are getting fewer and fewer in this day and age of selfishness and greed.

I didn't say anything about recruitment. The problem is catholics aren't going to church that much anymore and a lot are scared to enroll there children in the schools because of the scandals with the priests.

Pope warns against undermining U.N.

Pope can stick it where the sun don't shine, we don't take our marching orders from the UN...

I'm going into Queens the day he arrives. Won't that be fun. 

Enjoy.  He's been making traffic in DC even worse (if thats possible) than normal.

Wait till you see his car.  Its a limo with what must be six solid inches of armor on the doors.
