Pope Benedict XVI arrives at JFK Airport tomorrow, and the city is ready. Police will be checking subway train cars through his three-day stay, as well as using mobile radiation detection units and hand-held sensors to examine cars.
The Daily Intel asked Pastor Richard Baker, who directs the Cathedral of St. Patrick's Young Singers, for the advice he gave the children. For instance, one should address Pope Benedict "as 'Your Holiness.' Not 'Hey Pope' or 'Hello Pope.' 'Your Holiness' is how you refer to him all the time: 'Thank you, your Holiness,' 'It was a pleasure to meet you, your Holiness.' Or you could refer to him as 'Holy Father.' 'Holy Father, may I ask you, what did you have for breakfast this morning?'"
Yesterday, the Pope reiterated his "deep shame" over the U.S. Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal and also warned U.S. Bishops about the influence of secularism. At his mass at Nationals Park, Pope Benedict once again mentioned the sex abuse scandal, "No words of mine could describe the pain and harm inflicted by such abuse. Yesterday, I spoke with the bishops about this. Today, I encourage each of you to do what you can to foster healing and reconciliation, and to assist those who have been hurt." But the Pope has also called the country a "people of hope."
Shepherd One is expected to touch down at 9:45 a.m. at JFK; from there, he will go to the U.N. for a morning address. In the evening, he will visit St. Joseph's on the Upper East Side. AMNY has a good article on issues the Pope faces.

No comments for His Paypal-ness? Oh, I mean, His Holy Ness Monster. D'oh! No, it's His Buddy Holliness, of course.
He just said that 'cause Hope rhymes with Pope.
I thought the last sentence was "a good article on faces the Pope makes" - I was looking forward to that. Most of his faces are dark-eyed and evil.
Yo, Pope, whadup dawg? You rollin' in da popemobile?
Yo Ben, how's it hangin'? You don't look Jewish.
All Hail his Holiness, Emperor Palpatine, I mean, um . . . the Pope.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the inanity of all of the comments here. It pains me that it is too much to expect of people, to judge the man on his actual actions and thoughts as pope. Benedict is a brilliant theologian and loving pastor, and his thinking is highly steeped in the type of reasoned discourse that most secularists would claim to cherish. Yet, most people on this site are more then willing to descend to childish comments and banter. #3 was looking forward to an article on the Pope's faces, because most of them are "dark-eyed and evil." Instead of judging people on what we perceive their looks demonstrate, let's focus on what values and ideas people actually have and set forth. Unfortunately, that may involve more thinking than our 'soundbite culture' is willing to involve itself in at this present moment.
Or my name ain't drliving!
So earnest. So devoted. And so god-damned humorless. (I'm seeing a pattern here.)
I'd recommend you get a drink. But you are probably a recovering alkey or a teetotaler. But that's ok. Der Papst is a recovering Nazi.
All hail Jesus H. Christ Onabike.
...as I was saying...
Lighten up drliving. The man rides around in a bulletproof voyeur Pope-mobile and flies on Shepherd One. How can we NOT make fun of him?
Is that an endorsement for Obama?
NO POPE IN PARK SLOPE
The Popemobile is due to cruise
The streets of Manhattan and the Bronx;
No-show in Brooklyn, that's the news;
So what are we, a flock of skonx?
Now folks'll be sad not to be sharing
As holidayers and serenaders
The evening meals they've been preparing
For the Pope's Passover seders.
The Pope is an outdated idea; it seems like every day there is some article on what he thinks about stuff; gays, birth control, abortion... who cares? Infallible my arse.
Zstone, you took my comment.
The Pope wants Hope(Obama).
