i'm not roman catholic. and, i'm not offended. however, i do find it lame and a tiny bit denigrating to the messages that the pope is coming to convey. the pope isn't trying to be a rock star, or a celebrity, which papalpaloooza reminds me of. if he's like the previous pope, he'll be pushing for peace, redemption, and faithfulness. i know he's already made comments, while on the plane ride over, about how much he regrets the sex scandals in the roman catholic church.
