Welcome to the USA Pope Benedict XVI

And Happy Birthday

Pope Benedict XVI landed in the good old US of A yesterday, beginning a six-day tour that brought him to Washington DC and will bring him to The Big Apple, New York City, in the coming days.

Today is also his 81st Birthday, and I hear he has been serenaded ‘Happy Birthday’ numerous times and in several languages!  Wonderful!

Here’s to you, Pope Benedict!  Have a great, safe visit!

    Happy Birthday Pope Benedict!

    It is a real pleasure, and a distinct honor beyond describing for America to have you vist.

    I have not one doubt that you will enjoy your visit here too and America will have gained much insight and wisdom from your honorable presence.

    Have a safe visit and God Bless you!

      NWberry,

      I love what he said yesterday – “God Bless America!”

      Such a sharp contrast from that hysterical drama queen who insisted, “God Bless America? No, No, No! God DAMN America!”

      I’ll stick with Pope Benedict! ;-)
