Re: Pope Resigns!!!!!
I was a few blocks away from St. Peter's this past summer when he was making his weekly public appearance. We waited until later in the afternoon to visit St. Peter's because the crowd and security was crazy.
However I was blessed by Pope Paul VI back in 1976 at Castel Gandolfo, his summer residence outside of Rome.
Now we wait for the smoke to come up the chimmney!
Visiting St. Peter's and the Vatican museums again last summer (I had not been there since a teenager) was truly amazing. Particularly the special little known unadvertised archelogical tour we took that had us going under St. Peter's.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
