Have you people seen the Pope?

Have you people seen the pope, let alone be blessed by him? I can say: I HAVE! I went to Rome and the Vatican. I visited San Pietro twice, and on sunday 12:00 PM Dutch/Roman time the pope blessed me, and 10.000 others. But that's not the point... he blessed me! If there's one person on this world who can make me religious, it is the pope.

P.S.: I'm still not religious, can't help it :-

That's nice.

Unfortunattely he didn't bless you in particular...

[Anathema]

Meh. To me, the catholic church sometimes seems to be more of a company then a church.

Indeed. The Pope is just a man, but it amazes me what a crowd he can draw.

I've seen him.

When I was backpacking Europe, we stoped by Rome and stayed a few days including a wednesday, he came out to say hi to all visitors. That was the day I took more photos than any other in the whole trip.

Seeing him is just incredible. No words to explain.

i agree, i was highly impressed. He spoke with such conviction, i'd say he could almost summon God to come here
