    It would be better if he would be more concerned about the “saintness” of the priest and bishops that have been depredators on children no matter how young they were.....
    He wasnt a too much good person, thought......Probably the most of us have been better human being that he was....and never we thought that we nedeed to be proclamed “saints” .....just normal people who fight every day to give the best quality of life to our loved ones and our countries....not living sucking the money that other have won with their effort.

    And, 1 @ ......yes

    “1.5 million attend ceremony”

    As in physically there, Geoff.

    Your 'royal wedding' went mostly unnoticed where I live.

    My sister in-law (American) said: “I don't understand this royal wedding business!”

    Her friend replied: “LOL I wasn't into it either, until I watched it with my 2.5 year old. She was so excited to see a REAL princess. If it weren't for Abby, I probably wouldn't have watched any of it.”

    A 2.5 year old did find it interesting, however. : P
