i want to see the pope

I enjoy all info from the Pope & the Vatican. I find this visit amazing. Perhaps splits will one day be made whole again. This is a change i can live with & hope for.

Perhaps...I shall admit my faith in the Catholic Church was shaken by the recent scandals, but perhaps because of atonement, healing may yet come...in time...

Richard Dawkins didn't grant the Pope an audience? Shame! I'm sure Professor Dawkins could have enlightened the Pope as to the pattern on the Celestial Teapot. As to the TV coverage: Far too much & far too boring.

Why is the Pope being paid to come here? Times of austerity, a Pope in disarray and 4 million catholics have a state paid visit. Why not have a state funded Simpsons exhibition. There are more Simpsons fans than Catholics.
