While some people are spending as much as $600 a night at hotels for Pope Francis’ highly anticipated visit to Philadelphia, a North Jersey church group is spending less money on a far less luxurious place to stay: the Philadelphia Zoo.

Philly is going to be a madhouse that weekend. Hotel prices are insane, even out away from the city. Unless you really want to see the Pope, I wouldn’t go within 100 miles of there that weekend. You will just be sitting in traffic.

If I wanted to see a socialist with no understanding of the bible or of Christianity in general I’d just watch the nightly news.

Is the pope Catholic? Not as far as I can tell.

Probably coming over to lecture the USA on allowing all the 3rd world in as immigrants and climate control

He is about as Catholic as the so called Catholic universities are in this country

I used to live in Philly and wouldn’t go 100 miles near the place for any reason.

When I went almost about a month ago to a Bible conference out in western PA, north of Pittsburgh, that I had not been to in years, I had to fly to not only Pittsburgh International Airport, but had to make conections going to and from Philadelphia International Airport. The Philly Airport better gets its act together because that airport is going to become a MADHOUSE with people not only coming from the rest of the country but around the world to see the Pope in town.

While making my connection to go home, since having to have to use the airport shuttle bus just to make my connecting plane, and being in a wheel chair because of physical issues, I was in all truthfulness the LAST person to board my plane connection just before the airplane door had to close. The lady that was at the door going to the plane cheered me because I made it just in the nick of time.
