Papal Mania There I was, in Grant Park in Chicago, blowing off a whole day of class. There were people as far as I could see. I suddenly began to have second thoughts; this didn ' t seem to be the good idea it had started out to be. We had gotten to Chicago the night before, and managed to see his motorcade as it passed by. He was there, red cape and all, waving. He looked awfully tired, awfully vulnerable, not the way I thought he would look. I had gotten to Grant Park about 6 a.m. that morning. The place was already full of people, some who had stayed all night. People had brought radios, frisbees, books, and baskets of food to last throughout the day. Since he wouldn ' t be there until 3:00 that afternoon, there was a lot of time to kill. As it got near the appointed hour, excitement grew. Nobody knew what to expect. At last, we knew he was near. He was preceded by a long, ceremonious procession of bishops, some wearing crowns, and all in costume. Finally, I began to see the top of his hat, and then, his face. He was waving and slowly moving toward the white and gold altar. The mass took about three and a half hours. People were glad just to be in his presence no matter what the time or inconvenience. He talked of traditional Church teachings, and urged Catholics to stick to them. He talked of Americans, and our great unity. I see the people of America, he said, (as) one nation, formed of many people: E Plubribus unum . . . You have traveled from ' sea to shining sea ' to find your identity, to discover each other along the way, and to find your own place in this immense country . . . Plubribus unum the many form a new unity. Afterwards, the streets of downtown Chicago were filled with people, all going home, all talking about their experience, all tired but happy. Many tried to express their feelings, but none so good as a little man on Michigan Avenue who said: Now there ' s a Pope who knows how to be Pope. LOVE THE UNIFICATION MMB ' POPE HURCH Papal Vint. 10-S-7VJJ
