not disrespect at all, GoldwaterChick... I think the pope would have laughed heartily at the image.
Thank you! When we first heard that story I expected to see a photo of the Pope flying down the slopes with his robes flying! If I remember correctly he was in ski togs. That was when I first realized he had such an endearing quality, that he enjoyed the ordinary pleasures we all do and that he could closely relate to men, women and children everywhere. He wasn't a powerful official removed from reality, he truly loved everyone. His beautiful soul shone in his face and while I am not Catholic, I am proud to be somehow linked thru my Polish ancestry. He was a great man.
