Just moments ago, the Holy Father, Benedict XVI descended from his papal jet (dubbed the Shepherd One), to approach the tarmac at Andrews Air Force Base. In the background, exuberant cheering, the booms of a 21 gun salute, and the frenzy of a security detail perhaps unseen in recent U.S. history. As the pope disembarked, he was greeted by a decidedly beaming George W. Bush and an equally ebullient First Lady and daughter.
Stay tuned to watch the successor of Peter carry on the mission of his predecessors, bringing light to the moral darkness of our culture. His theme for this visit: "Christ Our Hope."
