The Pontiff in Cuba and USA

[shawnbm]

It is a huge media event in the USA. Francis already was in Cuba and visited different parts of the island and even met with both of the Castro brothers. He was in the Rose Garden at the White House this morning and is currently meeting with Obama and others inside the White House. Later today, he will celebrate a mass of canonization of Blessed Junipero Serra--the first canonization on the soil of the USA. Is this papal visit being covered extensively in other parts of the world?

It's definitely a huge deal here Shawn. I was just in DC and the White House last week and glad I missed all the fanfare. There were signs up everywhere reminding people where street blockages would occur.
