Greg Burke is the Fox guy in Rome, who was swept away in the emotion of the moment. THey had to cut to Greg Palkot and Rick Levinson. After a few minutes G. Burke got his emotions in check. Tho, I have to admit that as the Papal Gentlemen turned and brought the coffin into the basilica, I shed a tear. We won't see the likes of JPII again. Felt the same way about Reagan. BUT in the same way W is great in his own way, another Pope will come along that we will grow to love.
I shed a tear, got a lump in my throat, overcome with emotion, and I'm still blowing my nose.
Greg Burke has written for Columbian magazine for several years. It is the monthly journal of the Knights of Columbus.
