Archbishop Wuerl to ride with Pope Benedict in Popemobile

Not the most earth-shattering news item, but I found it cool:

Archbishop Wuerl remembers the thrill he felt as a seminarian in Rome in the early 1960s when he gathered with classmates along a road around dawn, to see Pope Paul VI leaving for his historic visit to the Holy Land.

Now, he will get to ride with Pope Benedict in the popemobile in Washington.

"There are still moments when you greet the pope, and you are overcome, because he is Peter," Archbishop Wuerl said in an interview with the Catholic Standard, Washington's archdiocesan newspaper. (CNS)

Which of course, falls in line with what he said to local DC youth at his recent theology on tap appearance, which I videotaped and uploaded to my AmP YouTube channel right here (and here, here, here).

You can see both the Archbishop and Pope Benedict XVI along these DC roads tomorrow. Check it out!
