The Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Catholic Church is due to make his final General Audience. Live on BBC2. GOD BLESS THE HOLY FATHER!
(Ooh, I thought this thread would be quite busy today because of Pope Benedict's last ever audience.)
Did you watch it, AZZURI?
I was moved to tears.
I also thought the Pope looked very frail and poorly. I was quite shocked to see this.
But it was lovely to see the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims there in St. Peter's Square, to say their farewells to the Pope.
I even spotted Frère Alois of Taizé in the crowd. He was on TV near the end when the Pope returned to his popemobile after his address. I thought for one moment that Brother Alois was going to jump into the Popemobile with him but he was held back by the security people.
You think? I'd say its doing better than the anglican church which has women bishops and the policy on gay priests to divide it. Yeah, RC is much less popular in Europe now but its still growing in numbers elsewhere, particularly in Africa. Its more like Murdoch's News International... very successful but immoral and corrupt
RC has always thrived where there`s poverty & illiteracy, education being RCs worse enemy
By the way are the `Magdalene Sisters` still running the laundries, not to forget the fondness the RC priest have for the youngest of their flock
