But it was nice of the Pope to do that.

 

I'm diggin this Papa more and more. A man of the people.

 

I totally agree, would love to see him with his leather jacket on!

 

What is he going to do with the two bikes someone gave him? Does anyone know who gave them to him?

 

The bikes are to be used by the Vatican police force, moco gave them to him.

 

I've had my bike blessed a couple of times over the years. It's always followed by something on the bike breaking. Proof that God has a sense of humor.

 

I've always wondered about this. Never had my bike blessed. My relative always had her eggs blessed by a Priest at Easter. Then she would crack the shells and make egg salad. I remember asking her is the blessing actually penetrated the shells or if she was throwing the blessed shells away and we were eating non-blessed egg salad.
Same goes for the bike blessing. Does the belssing corner the inside of the engine or just the external parts.

 

Don't ask us,ask God!

 

The evening news had some pics of the event and pegged the number of bikes at 80-100,000. I guess when the pope blesses they multiply like the loaves and fishes. LOL
