Itinerary for Pope's U.S. Visit |
Itinerary for Pope's U.S. Visit
By Patricia Zapor
11/30/2007
Catholic News Service
The Holy Father's pastoral visit to Washington DC and New York City will
include public Liturgies and meetings with Bishops, priests, deacons,
religious, seminarians, the youth, other Christian leaders, the disabled,
diplomats, Presidents of Catholic Colleges and Universities and a visit to
Ground Zero. Details are still being planned.
WASHINGTON (CNS) - Masses at Yankee Stadium in New York and the new
Nationals' baseball stadium in Washington are the two main events of Pope
Benedict XVI's April 15-20 U.S. visit for which the general public might be
able to get tickets to attend.
Details are expected to be made available by the two archdioceses after the
first of January to explain how people might receive tickets to the Masses,
primarily through their parishes.
Priority in allocating the Mass tickets will be given to people in the
archdioceses of Washington and New York. Some tickets are likely to be made
available to nearby dioceses, with formulas for their distribution to be
left up to those dioceses.
Here's how tickets or invitations for the various papal events are expected
to be handled:
-- April 16 diplomatic reception at the White House: Participants from the
diplomatic community are to be invited through the White House.
-- April 16 meeting with the U.S. bishops at the Basilica of the National
Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington: Event is limited to U.S.
bishops. Planning is being coordinated by the staff of the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops.
-- April 17 Mass at Nationals' stadium in Washington: Ticket distribution
plans will be announced after the first of January.
-- April 17 meeting with Catholic educators The Catholic University of
America in Washington: Open to presidents of Catholic colleges and
universities and superintendents of diocesan school systems. Planning for
the event is being handled by Catholic University, but the guest list is
limited to the presidents and superintendents.
-- April 17 interreligious gathering at the Pope John Paul II Cultural
Center in Washington: Invitations are being handled by the USCCB Committee
for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs.
-- April 18 speech to the U.N. General Assembly in New York: Access to the
U.N. building and the grounds nearby will be controlled by the United
Nations.
-- April 18 ecumenical event at an as-yet-unidentified New York parish
church in Manhattan: Invitations to Christian religious leaders will be
extended by the Archdiocese of New York.
-- April 19 Mass for priests, deacons and religious at St. Patrick's
Cathedral, New York: Invitations will first go to New York Archdiocese-based
priests, deacons and religious, then to those of neighboring dioceses in New
York state, New Jersey and Connecticut if seats are available. Event is
being coordinated by the New York Archdiocese.
-- April 19 meeting with children with disabilities at St. Joseph's Seminary
Chapel in New York: Event probably will accommodate no more than dozens of
children, by invitation only.
-- April 19 youths and seminarians rally at St. Joseph's Seminary: All U.S.
seminarians will be invited. Youths will receive tickets through their
Catholic schools, religious education programs and youth groups, starting
with the New York Archdiocese and then nearby dioceses. Capacity expected to
be between 10,000 and 15,000.
-- April 20 visit to ground zero, site where New York's
World Trade Center stood: A simple ceremony is planned, to which
representatives of the police, fire and emergency workers who responded to
the 2001 terrorist attack, and family members of victims of the attack will
be invited.
-- April 20 Mass at Yankee Stadium in New York: Ticket distribution plans
will be announced in January. Tickets most likely will be distributed
through parishes, with all recipients required to submit their names,
addresses and other information

Preacher McFunnyhat needs to go to Boston. Once there, he needs to abase
himself and make an utterly abject apology to the people his co-workers
and employees abused.
He can do this by reenacting the Jesus thing--crown of thorns, robe, and
honking big piece of lumber to carry around. He'll drag that thing
through the streets until he collapses--at which point, he's picked up,
tied to the lumber, and posted at that spot for a few days to let his
humiliation sink in.
Then it's off to the next venue, where the ritual is repeated, until he's
done.
Otherwise, he's useless baggage and might as well stay home.

Juicy Shaved Squirting *****, as Blobtardia claims here:

The Holy Father's pastoral visit to Washington DC and New York City will
include public Liturgies and meetings with Bishops, priests, deacons,
religious, seminarians, the youth ...
• His Holiness would do well to meet with ex-altar boys who shared in the
$2,000,000000 settlement, get down his knees, and beseech them for
donations.

A preist getting down on his knees is what caused the trouble in the
first place.

Is there to be no visit to Boston, the epicenter of
the child abuse scandal? No acknowledgment of
responsibility? No apology?

It takes a few hundred years for them to work up an apology.

He's doing all sorts of things on the 20th. But no mention of "Go home for ceremony on
Hitler's birthday"?
Golly. How did that slip off the itinerary?

And the Thought of the Moment (TM) is:
Despite popular belief otherwise, the Pledge of Allegiance is a fairly recent invention.
It did not come into existence until 1892, when it was first published -- in substantially
its present form -- in the boys magazine "Youth's Companion." It was, strangely enough,
part of a promotion celebrating Columbus Day. The words "under God" were added to it on
June 14, 1954 by President Eisenhower via an executive order.

He's probably meeting with the German-American Bundt for a private
party.

Probably because they were trying to think of other ways
to exclude non-Catholics from seeing the old fart.
