Pope Disses Philly

Sometime next year, the pope will hit the United States to plug his new album or something. It’ll be Pope Benedict XVI’s first visit to the States since he became pope.

Benedict will be hitting New York, obviously, as well as Washington, D.C., but apparently he’s not going to be driving his popemobile around Philadelphia. KYW 1060 reports the pope’s itinerary — which includes speaking at the UN and visiting the White House and Ground Zero — does not include Philly.

Geeze, what more do we have to do? (Okay, sustain a population or still be the nation’s capital, I assume.) We have one quarter of the American saints and we can’t get a simple papal visit?

On the plus side, we can actually go check to see if St. John Neumann is rolling over in his grave.

    St John Newmann looks like Kevin Spacey.

    you’re a hack journalist making fun of the Holy Father, don’t you have anything better to do with your time?

    why don’t you try being a Saint or the leader of all catholics and see how you do? See if you have time to go to philly then!

    Naw, don’t be saying nothing about Saint John Neumann. Y’all should go down to Saint Pete’s and go to confession.
