Absolutely SPLENDID. Everything was beautiful, and the Mass was celebrated very reverently by all, and the music was great.

I could have done without "I Am the Bread of Life", but that's de minimis.

The Biebl was perfect, the Beethoven "Hallelujah" was out of this world, they really hit it square on the head.

Does anybody know what the first organ postlude was? We're pretty sure it's French, and we're taking bets that it was Gabriel Faure' or Louis Vierne, much beloved of the organ department at Juilliard . . . .

Does anybody know what the first organ postlude was?

I can't seem to find it. I only found the list of sung music.

Papa B plays the piano um cant recollect what classical music he plays but it was his choice to learn that particular composer because Beethoven was to complicated for him.

It is the piano. Right?

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

What an God given intellect.

Also heard commentary that he didnt even have any desire to be the next Pope.

He was ready to retire and live near his brother who is also a Priest.

I am also thankful that the Pope/Catholic faith visit threads here at FRee pub have not brought out bitter non Catholics/ ex Catholics.

Have been so busy that I have not been plagued with the Views Joy Bashers nasty mouth deny ing her own Church.

I like the show on prior to the view but as work at home goes I dont have a clicker handy and we like the show after the View so we just leave the tv be.

We the People have been givin the gift of wisdom in choosing the new Pope....2008 years of leaders folks.
