Hey, darrtown! Thank you for pointing out this fact ā as, up until I read your postāI had always understood the Pope to be the Holy See ā¦ because of reading him referenced as so numerous times over the years. Not being Catholic, I just believed what Iād read numerous (five-ish?) times. What a world where one has to question every effing āfactā with which theyāve ever been presented. I canāt cite the exact articles, but I can assure you it was reputable print media from years-gone-by. Thanks you.

Dear Lord, why didnāt they just steal one of the Popeās baby fingers and sleep with it under their pillow?
Brady told CNN the water is blessed because the Pope drank out of it, and that he would return or pay for the glass if askedā¦āIām sure itās blessed if the Pope drank out of it. Why not?ā Brady said. āIf not, Iām saying it is.ā
MORON!!!
The Holy Father drinking water out of a glass DOES NOT MAKE IT HOLY WATER!!! An item, object or ārelicā is not blessed UNLESS A PRACTICING PRELATE ACTUALLY BLESSES THE DAMN THING!!!
Sweet Jeebus; iāve been a lapsed Catholic for 40 years and even I know that!!!

What you read in the article is the equivalent of saying Obama and America are one and the same and I am quite sure that repub heads would explode should someone assert that. The Pope as I said is the Bishop of Rome and a Head of State, the Vatican being an independent country.
Iām not a Catholic but I have been to Rome and toured St Peterās church. The Vatican is an amazing place. I did not get to go inside the Sistine Chapel to see the famous art work on the ceiling because being a kid of 18 yrs old (it being the 60ās) I had chosen to wear sandals and they had a dress code. It was OK for Jesus but not me. They also frowned on my long hair.

That sort of tomfoolery is why we had a Protestant Reformation.

What would he do with the hand towel found on the floor by the bed the Pope used?

And if it was blessed, wouldnāt drinking it be a sacrilege?
Noā¦ unless the drinker was a vampire or a demonā¦ which would cause one āhellā of an acid refluxā¦ 
I can almost understand Bradyās infantile behavior, as he is a mere representative, and we have a plethora of underdeveloped and uneducated representatives in PA. But Sen. Casey joining in? This is supposed to be the āupper houseā composed of rich intelligentsia, not in-the-mud worshipers. Well, that explains a lot for his uninformed Republican votes, especially his recent vote for Keystone XL. His facts on the matter were verbatim out of the Republican playbook.

blurrp!
Oy. Iām pretty sure Pete Camiel would not have done this.
Casey is the rare forced-birth Democrat in an important blue leaning state. Heās mostly quiet about it and mostly supports Obama, so Iāll let him slide. He has his base to pander to, like all of them.
There is no need for him to rile up the āAlabamaā that is central PA.
Itās more important to get rid of Toomey in 2016.
