The Holy Father has left The Big Apple. The Pope toured Habana, Cuba, as well as Washington, DC, New York City and finally Philly today and tomorrow, where The Pontiff when he wraps up his whirlwind American tour replete with with peace and spirituality. He addressed US Politicians, world leaders, but it is obvious that his preferred flock are those, who are marginalized, the poor and the under-served.

The Pope is in NYC, and everyone is bound to see and feel the impact, even if they try to stay far away from Francis’ big events.
Pope Francis’ visit to The Big Apple, the first since Benedict XVI toured the city for three days in 2008, will have wide ranging implications in major and expected ways -- like traffic -- while making some surprising impacts -- including to mail delivery.
A Jew, a Communist and a practicing Catholic were working a construction site in Argentina. It’s not a joke but a story Pope Francis told to a group of young Cubans urging them to seek friendships across the political divide. “They were all working for the common good,” Francis said. “This is social friendship, to look for the common good.” It is a poignant message in the Cuban nation split between pro and anti-regime sentiments.
