I see the Pope sort as sort of a living figurehead for the Catholic Church. He is a very important part of the Catholic church for most Catholics.
I respect the fact that he is important to others and respected by many. But he doeasn't really do much for me. I just see an old man in white robes with a lot of power.
I don't really have any interest in him coming here to visit and I wouldn't be one of thousands lining the streets to see him, but thats just me. I have no problems with other people feeling excited and looking forward to a visit. All power to them!
My feelings about this may be different if I was Catholic and had more of an understanding of the Pope and the church in general.
