Yes, I will try to collect my thoughts at some point soon. I was around for Pope Benedict XVI visit, but obviously this visit is very different.

I can't handle it any more, I'm about ready to explode in love for Pope Francis!


If you talk to him, ask him why he totally
ignored the priest molestation crisis in his
country when he was in charge there.
When two popes were being proactive
about it, he chose to pretend it didn't
exist.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I look forward to your story of his visit after the dust settles.

When I saw Pope John Paul II the excitement in the crowd was contagious.

I hate to derail the topic, but I enjoy presidential sittings. I've seen every president since Carter, except the first Bush, and shook George W. Bush's hand.

Do you know the difference between a toddler and a politician?

A toddler can't sustain a tantrum for a full campaign season.

I think Face should grab the whole vehicle and treat us to a televised chase of the Popemobile by a couple hundred cop cars.

Plus, free room and board afterwards.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

The bullet-proof glass on it should come in handy.

I think it has a front license plate too. $4,000 for both. Please no bullet holes or blood stains.

A mechanic at the Vatican has probably replaced
all the popes plates with replicas, who could tell
the difference. He sold the real ones on the black
market.
