That was cool. That jumped out at me when it was happening live. We were talking about it at ABC as well.

I thought it was so natural: "Thanks, Holy Father. Awesome speech. We have one more song to go."

Yeah it was an awesome speech and the President just voiced his pleasure with it. You have to love our President for being upfront with that fact.

I just loved when the choir sang the rarely sung last stanza of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. It truly brings to light the meaning of the Divine and human sacrifice:

In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, 

With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me: 

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.



And our beloved Papa Beni mouthing the chorus, and a Happy Birthday serenade to boot.


Yes, aaaawe-some! Awesome speeches by both the Holy Father and President Bush this day.

And to top off an awesome day, the bishops got a nice spritzing from a can of Papal whoop-a*s! With HizEminence, Cardinal Majony in the front rowww, it couldn't be better.



"God Bless America!!"
