The Papal Visit to the U.S.

Pope Benedict XVI is visiting the United States this week and is stopping in New York and Washington D.C. I went to Italy for Spring Break this semester and was able to see the Pope twice. It was amazing how close I got to him, as you can see from my picture.



I am a new Catholic and am constantly learning more and more about the faith. I was watching The Daily Show with Jon Stewart today and he was covering the Papal visit to the U.S. I think the Papal visit can help revitalize the American Catholic Church, as is the intention of the trip.

I love The Daily Show, and I love this funny assessment that Jon Stewart made to portray President Bush's reaction to the Papal visit.
