Thousands of volunteers and professionals (from the trades, emergency workers, special security forces and various law enforcement agencies) made this a once in a lifetime experience possible. The sharp contrast between the cheering throngs (42,000 people of various ages, races and religious beliefs) and the reverent silence during the consecration made the experience all the more memorable. Those in attendance, and those who followed via television broadcast, who listened to every word the Holy Father spoke, can attest to the truth, charity and wisdom of his message. We are blessed to live in this country, and all the more encouraged and strengthened by the Pope Benedict XVI's pastoral visit. Again, THANK YOU to so many of you who worked so hard to make this possible. THANK YOU to all the people who worked around the clock to make the Papal Mass at Nationals Park possible.

The U.S gives more in charity than any other country. We give more money and food to people around the world. The pope compared pronography on u.s television to priests sexually molesting children. I find that insulting. He has the nerve to tell us to open our borders, when Mexico has more stringent border laws than the U.S. I think he is living in his own little world.
