Nope. Yesterday I read in three papers that 50,000 turned out for his speech at the Newman whatever which is the lower estimate I quoted.

And those "six terrorist street cleaners" were all released with no charges against them.

Oops.

It is time you were held to reality. CBS reported crowds in excess of 65,000 while the NT Times , hardly a papal advocate described the crowds as "Large and Enthusiastic".Perhaps you relied on reports from Bob Jones University. Truth is an important elements which appears to have been the victim of your response.

For a true Christian the focus is not on crowds but on the message. Read Jn 6 65:66. The message of Jesus is rendered notwithstanding the reaction of the popular cultural view.

In like manner, the Pope's message is a contrarian view from that of our secular humanistic agnostic culture and their allies the bigoted fundamentalists/ evangelicals

It would be well for you to accept Jesus as your savior!!
