The Pope And His Visit To The U.S. am-Phuong Tran huong Tran Tseo Nguyen-Phuong Tran Trang-H. Tran Drucilla Vandcrlinden On his second visit to the U.S., the pope visited nine cities across the country within 9 days. The multitudes of peo- ple, all the religious souveniers, and more than anything, the gigantic ceremonies and masses in the open air are some characteristics of a papal visit. John Paul II, the most traveled pope, with 35 trips out of Italy since 1978, considered his visit a way of inspiring the worshipers and to remind them of their roll as servants of the world. Archbishop John May said, “The pope's visit is an impor- tant opportunity and a challenge to the North American catholics so they can affirm their religious identity . For many of the more than 52.6 million catholics in the U.S., that was part of the problem. Catholisism was the largest religion in the U.S., with a grand net of schools, hospitals, and of social service pro- grams that passed unnoticed. During his tour of the U.S., the pope met with Rabbi Mordccai Waxman, spokesman for the U.S. Jewish Com- mittee, Who praised the pope for his vigorous leadership in denouncing all forms of anti-Semitism. The pope also spoke against birth control and abortions. After his last stop in Detroit, John Paul II visited Canada for 2 days. When leaving, the pope said he hoped both catho- lics and Jews could promote mutual respect and teach future generations about the Hollocaust so that never again will such a horror be possible. Never again! . pacetta Vann Michael Vanpatten E II Business Services Seniors 227
