I don't remember such craziness for JP2's visit to St. Louis in '99. I know 9/11 has changed a lot of things, but the nuttiness in Philly right now seems like just that.

So what created this nuttiness? A change in public attitudes? A public response to this pope? Or how government has responded to this event?

What would happen if the Curia came to vist. Could they make security tight enough? Or would they leave it to the Mafia to protect their interests?
