I was around for Pope Benedict XVI visit, but obviously this visit is very different. It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures. ( |

If you talk to him, ask him why he totally ignored the priest molestation crisis in his country when he was in charge there. When two popes were being proactive about it, he chose to pretend it didn't exist. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Were you a priest in the 1990's?

When I saw Pope John Paul II the excitement in the crowd was contagious. I hate to derail the topic, but I enjoy presidential sittings. I've seen every president since Carter, except the first Bush, and shook George W. Bush's hand. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Do you know the difference between a toddler and a politician? A toddler can't sustain a tantrum for a full campaign season. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I think Face should grab the whole vehicle and treat us to a televised chase of the Popemobile by a couple hundred cop cars. Plus, free room and board afterwards. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

The bullet-proof glass on it should come in handy. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

He sold the real ones on the black market. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
