I am Catholic too and I am sad at the Holy Father's demise as well.

I beg your pardon, my apologies. Your response sounded protestant.

I am not Roman Catholic, just an ordinary Protestant. But one morning I was at Saint Peter's in the Vatican along with about a million others seeing the Pope off to yet another whirlwind tour. As his car went by and he wished us all well there was a spirit that accompanied him; it wasn't just a man that went by. The man is mortal and will be mised. The Pope is eternal.
