Benedict the MVP

When all is said and done, the Pope is the real MVP.

I attended Opening Day at Fenway Park two of my brothers. The Red Sox organization attempted to make it as much of a secular religious event as possible, with all the ceremonies and pomp and circumstance.

While they did a fine job, it pales in comparison to the job here at Yankee stadium where real people in faith showed their love for the Vicar of Christ as he made his way around the stadium in the popemobile.

When Cardinal Edward Egan mentioned Boston, Bostonians in the stands erupted in long, sustained, significant applause. I love the Red Sox, but we didn't cheer as loud in Boston for the players, as we cheered here for the Pope.
