God bless Pope Francis! He’s a kind, humble and thoughtful man.

He’s a head of state! Was he invited?

How I would have loved the Pope to have stood beside all those people. Next to the Queen!

“His Holiness Pope Francis unites himself wholeheartedly to the intercession of those who commemorate the tragic events which occurred here seventy years ago, and prays for peace,” read the letter sent June 6 by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State, to Bishop Jean-Claude Boulanger of Bayeux (-Lisieux), in whose territory the Normandy landing occurred.

Beggin' pardon and all, but those weren't "tragic events."

They made up one of humanity's finest days, in which literally satanic evil was fought and defeated, and the beginning of freedom was established for hundreds of millions of people.

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."

- John 15:13

At every Catholic mass we pray for the soldiers that have died defending the country. At many Catholic cathedrals there are plaques commemorating and honoring all the Catholic soldiers from the diocese that have died in war.

I always wondered who did really win the war. Both the Japanese and Germans are doing really SWELL these days.

I guess folks have learned not to put countries into a corner from which there is nothing but suffering, with no way out.
