I’ve been out from work this week due to my pneumonia. Not much to do but watch t.v. Today, I’m watching some show when breaking news comes on. White smoke is rising from the Vatican in St. Peter’s square, which signals that a new Pope has been selected to replace Pope John Paul II.
It’s an exciting scene as thousands rush into St. Peter’s Square to await the announcement. The bells begin chiming, and the balcony is decorated with the papal banners in anticipation of the announcement. Finally, one of the Cardinals comes out and makes the announcement. It is Cardinal Ratzenberger. No, that’s Norm from “Cheers.” It’s Cardinal Rothlisberger. No, that’s the Steelers quarterback. It’s Ratzinger, or something like that.
Anyway, this was real interesting to watch. There was quite the euphoric scene as people rushed to the Square to see who the new leader of the Catholic church was going to be. I’m not going to make any comments on the church itself or editorialize on one man being placed on such a high pedestal. Hey, it was just a cool thing to watch live as it unfolded.
