we were lucky enought to be in Rome to in 2001 to see a service performed by the Pope. We got there early and got up to the last row of the seats, we were separated by barriers and what looked like a cooridor, So the service starts and out come the Pope in his Convertible Pope Mobile and instead of going right to the alter he takes a spin around the square, wouldnt you know it that cooridor was his little road, He drove by my wife and I ( she was my new Fiancee at the time) and we were literally a foot from the Pope. I was amazed by how many languages he spoke, He did a bit of the mass in no less then 8 languages. I pray for this man. He has done a lot of good for our world.
