My friend was Catholic and really wanted to go to one of the outdoor masses given by the Pope. So, there we were in this ‘mass’ of humanity for the outdoor mass.. (hee hee… play on words– did you get it?.. Sorry, I teach children and it takes a few hours to get back to full adult level of thinking)

Anyway, prior to the pope’s arrival by the POPEMOBILE (right where we were standing I might add).. there were several priests and cardinals up at the front.. making announcements/etc. They were also introducing them and what country that they were from.

AND.. the ‘American priest’ was a hunk.. and I leaned over to my friend.. totally forgetting that we were at a CATHOLIC MASS.. and said.. “Oh, my gawd.. he is so handsome.. it’s almost enough to make me want to convert” and.. in the next breath.. I realized that it wouldn’t matter.. since, CATHOLIC PRIESTS didn’t date/marry. :D

Of course.. since there were so many people around us.. some of the others attending the mass.. did overhear me.. and we had a large group ‘giggling’ at my comments.

Yes, just doing my part.. to keep the “UGLY AMERICAN TOURIST IMAGE” alive. :D

If only in your “compliment induced haze” you had thought to get photo. I imagine you regret not getting a name and number, or at least the parish he works with!

2 priests walk into a hotel…….
wish I had been lobbying at that moment.

It was very nice to meet you.

(Go, Cara!) I’m G.O. and it would have been fun to witness the swooning event. What a nice thing to say! And I like the “art” statement. Good on him.
