Well, not really, but the Pope was in town.  You may have seen him on the news.  Or like me, a radio news listener, heard about his historic visit to the Capital of these United States of America.  Well, overall I think it was a good visit.  Although I am a Baptist, and I don't agree with his elevated status, he and the Catholic Church share a lot of my beliefs.  Many of the people around here are asking, "Why has it been so long?"  Well, here is a hint.  Our news media, these are professional journalists I am talking about, have referred to the Pope's limo as the "Pope-mobile" in just about every news cast I have seen.  Talk about a lack of respect.  We don't refer to other world leaders' vehicles as the Minister-mobile, King-mobile.  So why do we do it for him?  The Pope held Mass today in the Nationals Stadium here in town. All the Nationals baseball fans are hoping he spreads a little blessing on the ball club, because it can only win games when the opposing  starting picture gets hurt in the 1st inning.
Have a great Day
