I think that this thread has perhaps run its course.
Personally, I think that this country, and my city, have been BLESSED by the visit of Pope Benedict XVI.
To all my Catholic friends, I rejoice with you in his visit.
I pray that the blessings he has brought upon our soil will bear much fruit for the future of your Church and upon an often persecuted and lukewarmed Christianity on a whole.
May we all look within ourselves for our own sins, not look at the sins of our brother, as not one of us is worthy to to partake of the Holy Sacrament of Communion...
With all respect for you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, and for the Holy Father, I will close this thread.
