Must be costing hundreds of millions for security and accomodations. I understand many folks put a lot of value in his visit but I couldn't care less so who is footing the bill? The church? I would think you could feed a lot of hungry kids instead. Is it my tax dollars? We need to rebuild our Navy. Much more important in my mind!

As I understand the visit cost the US & Philadelphia app. 48 million, but almost all of it was covered by Catholic fund raising project to reimburse the expenses.Give a man a match, & he'll be warm for 20 seconds. But toss that man a white phosphorus grenade and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

I still remember when Pope John Paul II was shot and nearly killed. That silly glass box provides both protection and the ability to see the man. Its much better than the presidential limo.Screw diplomacy...........bring it!
