During the wondrous early weeks of the Franciscan papacy, I often worried that the Pope could not possibly be as amazing as he seemed. A dozen years later, I realize I need never have doubted. Now the case is, sadly, closed. Francis was a gift to humanity.

Yes, Barry, he celebrated Mass in Candlestick Park. I suspect you probably volunteered to usher this big event, since you were always generous with your time.
