I know the Pope is an important man in the Catholic Religion but did anyone else watch all the hoop la at the White House over him being here , okay get it over with and let him move on , quit kissing his butt Bush and get to the Economy which is going to Hell fast in this country, low pay wages, Fuel skyrocketing, groceries beyond what they really should cost and the Pope is more important i dont think so, Moses died a few weeks ago he was higher up on the chain in my eyes, sorry Pope.

The Pope is a wonderful example of a religious leader that holds views and says things that many of his followers don't agree with. Sound familiar? Yet those who disagree with him don't jump up and flee the Catholic church. This Pope, in fact, has said several things that if anyone else had said them, they would be "gaffes" or "hate speech." Yet people still sit in the pews, still take something positive from Catholicism, they even say outright that they don't agree with their leader. No one focuses on this, a worldwide religion with millions and millions of followers, but we can paralyze ourselves nitpicking one small church in Chicago with an outspoken leader. Wonder why that is, eh?
