Pope Francis Visits America




Pope Francis keeps up with his challenging schedule by maintaining a strict personal regimen. Reportedly, he is in his bedroom by 9pm, awakes at 4:00am (naturally), prays for 2 hours before seeing anyone, and takes at least one 40-minute nap during the day. His 6-day trip to Washington, New York, and Philadelphia in the United States will end on Sunday.

He is a Jesuit. While secular (focus on that word) humanists, they are zealots. This does not surprise me... at least if he kept to the practices through his political jockeying through his various positions.
