Bumping into Papa Francesco

Earlier this week I wrote a funny post about meeting some friends at the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. We were supposed to meet in the front of the church, but we waited behind the church because we thought it was the front. Anyway, the day I wrote the post I had just dropped off my parents at the airport for their trip to Italy.

The very next day my parents and their friends were touring the same church I had written about, Santa Maria Maggiore, when YOU KNOW WHO walked in. Pope Francis, having just returned from a trip to Africa, made an unscheduled and unannounced visit to the church to place flowers at the altar of the Holy Mother.
