One guest on Fox News this morning, made an astute observation about Pope John Paul II. She asked the commentator who else had ever brought three US Presidents to their knees? ;-D


U.S. President George W. Bush (L), First Lady Laura Bush, and former presidents George Bush and Bill Clinton pay homage to Pope John Paul II while viewing the late pontiff's body in the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica April 6, 2005.

Thanks for the ping...and pics. I have to go and take care of an unbearable migraine that began because I got up so early, did not eat...watched the Mass....smoked tons of cigarettes (I had stopped but the stress of the past two weeks was too much for a weakling like me, LOL) and drank way too much coffee.

I will offer my suffering up as a prayer to change the hearts of those that are still hardened and find joy in discrediting PJPII. It has really started already.

FOX was just interviewing a man from a Catholic organization who referred to several anti-pope websites. One of them was some pro-Hillary site where, he said, they stated that when PJPII went to Israel years ago, an ambulance followed him with several pints of blood. They said the reason was that if he needed blood for any reason while there, he did not want Jewish blood. See how ridiculously low these people will stoop to smear Our Holy Father? That really made my head ache more, so I have to go take some meds and turn out the lights. Catch you all later. Ciao JPII.

Say, did you know that the poor and the powerful of the earth rubbed shoulders to say their last goodbye to Pope John Paul on Friday as the Vatican staged one of the most momentous funerals in history for the Polish Pontiff?
