Yankee Stadium truly became the cathedral in the Bronx yesterday with Pope Benedict XVI visit. The stadium never looked more beautiful. The pope said mass before a crowd of 60,000 people. Many Vatican analysts have said that the Pope's real mission during his visit to the United States was to keep American Catholic's in the flock as many have left the church in recent years. Whatever his mission, I do feel that his trip earlier in the day to Ground Zero provided much needed comfort and healing families and survivors of 9/11.
This is my favorite photo of the Pope in the Yankee Dugout. I hope he blessed it! We need all the help we can get.
