2. I am proud of the way the Pope was welcomed. We need his attention to world affairs.

I am not Catholic, in fact, I do not support any religion. I admire and respect those who do. My opinion is that this Pope is trying his best to make positive change to the church. I wish him the best and will give support to those who follow his church. I hope his trip here brings joy to those who follow the teachings of the church and that good will come from his visit.

To those who doubt, remember that "Rome was not built in a day".
