In case you missed it, Pope Benedict was in town this weekend. I was delighted to catch the Papal Mass on TV as well as the Mass at St. Patrick on Thursday. The best talk that the Holy Father gave had to be during his visit to the Dunwoodie Seminary in Yonkers, NY. If anything, this had to be a ratings boost for cable network
EWTN.
One interesting side note ... My friend Dennis went up to New York for the mass and some "R&R" as well. He was one of the people I looked for on the EWTN broadcasts, but I didn't see him. I saw Fr. Chuck from St. Pius (formerly), the priest who is also a real clown and retired Archbishop Kelly, but no one else that I knew. Dennis told me that he was going to go to Rockefeller Plaza to see the live broadcast of the Today Show this morning. Here's a transcript of the text message exchange we had today ....
