Guests always bring joy; if not in the arriving, then in the leaving.

I am searching for a lawli-pope song....
Why is there no lawli-pope song?

The internet has failed me, must be the work of the devil [squid of the land].

As a non-Catholic, I'm not disposed to always accept everything a Pope does or says.
But this Pope and this his visit to the US have truly impressed me... in very good way.

First, his physical stamina to go three full days of such activity would be remarkable
for a much younger man, but he seems to have managed well.
Of course, the young man who did the translations is probably just as remarkable.

My only real negative this weekend was in the ridiculous non-justified, over-reaction
of the US Secret Service and all the enforcement entities which now have, in effect,
set a minimum basis for future visits of any/all important leaders
Can you imagine next budget requests bases on their expenditures this year...

For me personally, I was completely taken by his message, and thanks,
that he gave to the women of the church, specifically addressed to the Sisters
who were previously being investigated by certain church authorities.

But, I found myself entirely taken by the man and by his messages.
All in all, I'm very glad he came to the US, and do hope the "after-glow" lasts for a very long time.

He is teaching humility. You only get to break bread.

It's the pope-caine that keeps him revved up.

Perhaps she already has humility. And is only hungry. For pork chops.
