Supposedly some asshole congressman from CoP stole the pope's glass he drank water from while in DC. What a cheek. Typical CoP trash.

He invited friends and family over to drink from it too.
Apparently he did something similar after Obama's first inauguration. Fitting, given that he reps he city of sloppy seconds.

They showed all these Saint Joe losers and the hawk flapping his wings on the street waiting for pope to pass. Surprised media whore Martelli didn't throw himself in front of car to get some attention.
Someone earlier told me they played the Rocky theme when he got off the plane. Thought it was a joke but it really happened. What a joke city.
Nope. Saw it myself.
Now on stage is some loser comedian making jokes about hitting Santa with snowballs. What a shitshow this whole thing is. I knew the CoP couldn't stop themselves from CoPing this thing up.

Went today. It was beautiful. Also, in the security line there was some white trash in an Eagles jersey drinking cans of beer. Thought you guys would appreciate it.
Also there was s 17 year old kid in a suit and some sort of sash asking me if I'd sign a petition "supporting traditional marriage". I thought that was funny.

I had previously seen Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul XXIII. Francis is a rock star compared to either of them. His words of hope and love were beautiful and inspiring. I think he touched the hearts of millions of people. He was so much more "human" than any previous pope I remember. You could see the joy on his face when he had direct interaction with people. His trip was a phenomenal event for Catholicism. If only the world could be like he envisions it!

Went today and have to say I was impressed with the CoP for once. Super easy getting there. Took subway from AT&T station. Barely anyone there. Opted to enter secure ticketed area from the north and waited literally 20 minutes in line. Heard some nightmare stories of 3 hour waits. think if you attempted to enter from the south, you may have encountered this. Got some nice pictures as Pope passed in parade. As for Mass, not really much to see. Unless you were one of the lucky ones with a seat up front in a chair, you had no shot to see anything and were watching on a jumbotron. Kind of made having a "ticket" seem a waste. It really got you nothing special. Yes technically you could get closer to altar but you still couldn't see anything so what's the point?
Getting back was just as easy. Especially if you left a little early just like a normal mass at your local church. All in all, a great experience....except for all the dumb foreigners trying to ask you questions in their native tongue.

Agree completely, SES. My mother and I were in the line South on 20th street and then walked back, over through Chinatown and eventually entered on 22nd and Spring Garden. Prob walked about 5 miles total, but it was worth it.
Looks like a complete bust economically outside of hotels. Just about every restaurant was promised a huge windfall with a million visitors. Didn't happen. Maybe it was a million people but it was a million people there for a religious journey who were happy to eat a sandwich or hot dog and not drop a few hundred at some Stephen Starr overpriced and overhyped douchey eatery.

PHILADELPHIA—Visibly aghast as he took the pulpit at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Philadelphia to deliver a sermon Saturday, a horrified Pope Francis reportedly referred to the city as a “blighted abomination, forsaken by Heaven” and “humanity’s greatest sin against God.” “In my travels, I have seen countless examples of man’s inhumanity toward his fellow man, the most utter wretchedness, and the vilest iniquity, but in this place and in these people I see a darkness blacker than all the world’s evils. God has fled this town,” said the ashen-faced pontiff, recoiling in disgust from the assembled crowd while describing the Philadelphia metro area as “the only corner of Creation where the light of the Lord does not shine.” “The love of Christ falls upon us all, even the lowliest of the low—but not Philadelphia. Touch me not, for you are the unholiest of all that is unholy. I can offer no blessings here, where all that is, and all who are, are an affront to God.” After concluding his prepared remarks, the pope reportedly led the congregation in a prayer for God to rain cleansing fire and brimstone over the city and then salt the smoldering Earth so that no wickedness could ever again arise in its place.

I don't buy 800k+. How many people go to the "made in america" festival or the 4th of July fireworks?
Sounds like the CoP impressed because it was a lot less people than they thought.
