So after seeing our new Pope emerge from the loggia last April, I decide that I want to be in Germany with the German Pope for last World Youth Day that I am technically eligible to attend (hit the big three-oh this year).

How cool is that?

You will have Mass with Pope Benedict XVI!

(or would that a "mass Mass?")

We'll be depending on you for a blow by blow, account of it. My big concern, in a Mass that large, is the possibility for abuse...as you know, that's been discussed on several threads here.

I know you'll hold your end down, and hopefully with Benedict XVI in charge, it should hold some reverence there, and not so much a rock concert atmosphere.

Hooking up with the LoC folks, at least, should hopefully help in that realm! I'm envious!

I think my nephew and I should do a live blog of the event! I'll bring my digital camera and post pics and commentary "on the hour, on the half, and as news breaks"...





Absolutely!
I am totally thrilled for you!

gipper gal is going to Cologne in August to see our magnificent Pope!
