The Pope's video message to the US

And if you are a Catholic with a sense of humor, click here (also courtesy of Rocco) to see the Washington, DC, Metro ad for the upcoming papal visit that the local archdiocese asked be pulled from circulation. I've heard opinions on both sides. You can decide for yourself.
