Before the ecstatic crowds that greeted the arrival of Pope Francis this afternoon, who knew that there were so many pious Christians in Washington, DC?
WASHINGTON A city accustomed to power, fame and traffic-stopping motorcades offered an ecstatic reception on Wednesday for Pope Francis, who waved to vast crowds from a special open-sided Jeep and kissed babies carried to him by security personnel.
Before the popes arrival at the White House on Wednesday morning, onlookers had been gathering for hours, with some camping out all night in hopes of a glimpse of white, the chosen vestments of popes.
One spectator, Anna Wolf, said she did not even believe in God, but by 5:39 a.m., she had been waiting eight hours to see Francis. I think hes just, like, bringing the truth back, she said. I respect him.
Who knew that Jesus Christ came to fight global climate change? Like the tail of a comet, todays Christianity is yesterdays liberalism in religious garb.
