I am not a catholic but have seen this Pope twice,,once years ago in St Peter's square early in the morning riding across with a driver in a little jeep. He smiled and waved. I was astounded. Then years later in Baltimore, in a car, going up to the Cathedral for Mass. All Baltimore, even the non catholics, felt so good about that that day. I like him.
My late husband would be 72 now. He died at age 53 and bore a strong physical resemblance to the Pope. I've often thought over the years how he would have looked had he lived to grow old.
