My family and I were at the White House, for my child it was a great experience for life. We were like sardines in a can, but the effort was worthly. My husband got the tickets on Tuesday at 6pm. It was a gift from God to us. We love our Pope and our Church, we know that it is not popular to be Christiand and Catholic, but I like the pharse from Mother Theresa “.. we are not called to be perfect, but to be loyal”.

Thank you for the opportunity to watch the Pope in NYC. I would love to have a DVD of his visit to keep for life. (I couldn’t watch the mass at National Stadium).

God bless your station and all that work there.

Ms. Greene

What is the pope to you and why do you refer to this man as, “The Holy Father”??

re: Phil’s comment.

The Pope never dines publicly. Never has. Never will.

I’m pretty sure the President pronounced “Pax tecum” correctly this time

It’s Dr. Hudson, not President Bush who needs to brush up on his Latin. The phrase is not “pace tecum” as Dr. Hudson alleges. It is “Pax tecum.” Mr. Bush pronounced it correctly.

The Fox coverage of the Pope’s visit is over the top. Too much. More time is being given to the Pope than any other State visit I’ve seen. The two priests commenting on air are obviously subjective in their opinions. Much too much. It’s like an ongoing commercial for the Roman Catholic Church.

It’s also interesting that the Pope’s has decided to change the purpose of his visit from a formal State Visit, where he dines at the White House, to a “plain” Visit because he doesn’t to appear that he is endorsing all of President Bush’s policies. Who does? The prime minister of Great Britain? Of Austrailia? Germany? Yet they have State Visits and dine at the White House.

How many years did the Pope know about the pedophile priests in the U.S.? Bush never said anything about that situation. Or that Cardinal Law, who overlooked the pedophile problem in Boston, is now an advisor to the Pope at the Vatican in Rome.

The Pope deserves recognition and coverage, but it should be “Fair & Balanced” - that would be appropriate, not all that Fox is giving the Pope right now.

from the second paragraph:

“And the president also used the pope’s own phrase “the Dictatorship of Relativism” when referring to ideas of “right and wrong” being rooted in absolute standards and principles.”

the “dictatorship of relativism” is specifically the opposite of right and wrong being rooted in absolute standards and principles. take abortion for example, the fact that america is split on this moral issue is the result of relativism….a situation in which tolerance is the only acceptable option, even when it means killing what some know to be a human and what some claim they can’t determine to be human or not.
