From my 18th St. office in Northwest I walked a mere block to Pennsylvania Ave. a little before noon and caught Pope Benedict’s procession past tens of thousands of Washingtonians today. What magnificent weather for so moving a moment, and the turnout was staggering.
I had a superb view of the Pontiff, and as I seemed to catch his eye for a nano-second I silently asked for his intercession in (1) world strife and conflict and (2) a cleared Capitals’ crease.
I’m not one to reorient my priorities in vulgar fashion just because the playoffs have at long last arrived in D.C.

So the pope can intercede in world conflict/strife, but isn’t already doing so?
If the Pope wanted a seat, I’d consider sacrificing my ticket to Game 5 if he interceded (and the refs knew that if they didn’t actually call goaltender interference when warranted, well the Pope would see to it that they didn’t actually get pennance and repentance, thus guaranteeing them in Hell — which from what I understand is even worse than Philly).
I wouldn’t give up my seat for just anyone. But I know that since I don’t have that kind of power in the cosmos, perhaps the pontiff does.
Plus, he already has an appropriate Rockin’ Red attire.
@Grooven — if you gave the pope your seat, imagine how upset the people behind you would be if he wore his hat? Next 3/4 rows would all be blocked…. oooof.
I’m not the Pope, but I’ll take your seat
Thanks Grooven, for the comic relief. I’d give the slight edge to Hell. I bet you can’t even get a cheesesteak in Hell.
@vt It can’t be any worse than the standers and leaners.
I like the picture you chose, the Pope’s participating in the Red Out and he doesn’t even know it.
Or does he? Go Caps.
Please tell me that the Nova Scotian Deity will not be invited to give a mass here while the Pens wait around for the semi-finals to start.
