Three More Remembrances Of The Pope’s Visit to America

#1: The Pope’s Viral Encounter With The 5-Year-Old Daughter of Illegal Immigrants Was Totally Scripted

Sophie Cruz’s encounter with the Pope during a parade in Washington this week looked to be one of those spontaneous, once-in-a-lifetime-moments Francis has become known for. But for 5-year-old Sophie, the chance to wrap her arm around the pope’s neck as he offered a hug, kiss and a blessing unfolded as perfectly as it was scripted by members of a coalition of Los Angeles-based immigration rights groups. For nearly a year the group had been preparing the young girl from suburban Los Angeles to make a dash for the Popemobile to deliver a message about the plight of immigrant parents living in the country illegally. They had even pulled off a similar public-relations coup a year ago in Rome with a 10-year-old girl meeting the pope.

#2: Dishonesty at Obama’s White House

Dishonest DemocRAT Pennsylvania Congressman Bob Brady stole the water glass Pope Francis was drinking out of during his address at the White House on Thursday. The Disgraceful DemocRAT then drank the water, gave some of the water to his wife Debra, and saved the rest for his grandchildren.
