The approval process for this visit has been an absolute disaster. It's as if they're intentionally denying access to the major Catholic media outlets... while approving, who?

And it isn't ideological: Commonweal was denied as well. Simple incompetence.

That's a bummer.

Well, if you want some on-site reporting, I just found I got tickets, so I will be in attendance.

Sorry to hear it - what a disappointment for you. As a Sister said to me last night when we agreed to pray for a certain intention - "Get on your knees!" ... You neve know ...

I'm going to Yankee Stadium, myself, all the way from Hawaii .. we were fortunate. Our Bishop made it 'first come, first served' to get tickets. If you want, you can email me and I can provide a contact number.
