10. Looks like a thin turn out to me. A few people on one street is not 'crowds lining the streets'

at all. That is not a photo of crowds lining the streets. It is a photo of one block of one narrow street and they folks are not even packed in a few deep. Now the Pope, he gets authentic crowds lining multiple streets, I don't care much for him, but what he gets are crowds and what they do is line the streets to see him pass. If this or any other Pope faced a crowd that thin and short, he'd plotz, and Popes don't like to plotz....
