The pope is currently in the States… I was watching the evening news last night and I saw Pope Benedict XVI. His visit to the USA would last for 6 days within which his stops would include Washington and New York. He celebrated his 81st Birthday on the day that he arrived at the White House where he was greeted by a crowd of more than 13,000. He was welcomed with a 21-gun salute and the Happy Birthday song sung by the soprano Kathleen Battle who also sung “The Lord’s Prayer” in the same occassion.
