Today Pope Benedict XVI celebrates his eightieth birthday. Yesterday he celebrated Mass in St. Peter's to mark that occsaion as well as the second anniversary (April 19th) of his pontificate.
Gerald of the closed cafeteria was there and has photos. So was/does Fr. Z.
In commemoration, the mainstream press has spent the last three weeks telling us that the pope is MIA, backward, old, and an intolerant jerk.
And many more!
