I remember when the pope came here to Chicago in the late 70s. I think they closed the schools because that's the only reason I would be at home. I was sleep and I heard my Grandmother scream " The Pope is coming down Garfield Boulevard". As she was saying that, she was grabbing her coat. My neighborhood is mostly baptists but people came pouring out of their homes to catch a glimpse of him. She was able to take some really nice pictures of him. He was such a sweet man. A coworker asked me why was I upset about the pope's death because I'm baptist. He just didn't realize you did not have to be catholic to love the pope. HE will be sorely missed and I hope they don't elect someone they think will be another version of him. You can't fill his shoes.
