When he held mass in... er, I think it was in New York a few months ago, they televised it on TV. With commentary, like a sports match! I couldn't help the LULZ. Did they do the same down there?
They were screening footage of people screaming and cheering as the Pope alighted from his plane, and my mother only saw the people and said: "What? Is this a documentary on the Beatles or something?" She thought it was so inappropriate that they were cheering for the Pope like he was a rock/pop star. *G*
