Yes, the leftists are blowing cranial gaskets.
Did the MSM actually report somethign like this? Do they want something bad to happen?
If I was sitting in the crowd, I'd probably be spaced out into my own zone because of no translation.
LOL .. sorry it's late and my spelling is even worse then ever :0(
My exact thoughts.
My husband and I discussed that very thing just last night.
"They wouldn't dare."
The Hungarian Guard of Honor lowers the nation's flag half mast in front of the Hungarian Parliament building to pay tribute to Pope John Paul II in Budapest, Hungary Friday, April 8, 2005. The day of the funeral of Pope John Paul II is an official national mourning day in Hungary.
Thank you. And the translation by the Archbishop is much better. There is emotion!

Likely no room or space available for protestors.
Somehow, I doubt the crowds would tolerate such a show of disrespect.
Japanese Crown Prince Naruhito, representing his father Emperor Akihito of Japan, lays flowers for Pope John Paul II during a Catholic memorial service at St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo April 8, 2005. Catholics and those of other religions in Japan joined millions around the world in remembering the Pope.
I know the wind just came up from out of nowhere . Beautiful pictures .
Me, too.

I hope you have your flame-proof suit on. ;-)
Thank you, TexKat!
The pics are to treasure.
Agreed .. they would not tolerate it
Night makes me go dingy anyway, but I find I misspell more because of poor typing skills rather than a lack of ability to spell.
Every time something like this happens, where coincidences are just too good to be true, the same thought strikes me; I mean no offense to anyone here when I say this.
It's OK if you do not believe in the Christian God, the Jews' YHWH, or the Muslim Allah. But anyone who's observant can see that there is SOMETHING out there, some Universal higher force or being. To believe it does not exist is both inobservant and dangerous. (And several other adjectives, which should not be aired at this temporal juncture.)
This force is obviously present in Rome at the current time. Call it whatever you want, but it's there.
Blessings! Thank you again.

The other non-Catholic Christian faiths pretty much all broke away from the original Christian Church in sin. Like, Martin Luther in refusing to practice the Sacraments of the Catholic Church, or the King of England starting his own Christian church because the Pope wouldn't give him a divorce. Despite the sin and lack of Authority in their church, they are still considered Christian because the one thing they did right was to retain accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
I'm not touching this one with a 10 foot pole. Whoa! :)
