Me, either. He came to Anchorage, AK, when I was living there. Guess it was the early ‘80s. Where I worked I would’ve been able to get up close and personal, and was encouraged to go. I went fabric shopping instead. Some people were aghast. I told them I’d go see Captain Kangaroo before the pope.

Why is the Devil Pope coming at all?

Oh!

And I don’t believe the “We the Secret Service SAVED the Pope”-stories, either.

Made up.

“Unbelievable.”

What part? The people who are selling them or the people who actually pay for them? I believe that I heard they were
all gone in a matter of seconds. I say the church is behind
this and the scalpers are in on it. No way the church could
get three grand a pop, it wouldn’t look good but running them
through scalpers and taking a cut would be the way to go
for the big dough. It’s a scam, the church has lawsuits to
pay off, they need the money.

I can’t believe some fool would pay that much for something that is “free gratis”.

I would go if I were paid, and my fee would be very high.

And only if I were not required to listen.

Amen.

I saw a JPII bumper sticker going down the road the other day. Okay, it WAS on a Prius, but still!
