In New York, Roman Catholic officials have walked Pope Francis’ expected path through the National September 11 Memorial and timed it at five to seven minutes. In Washington, studios for television news anchors are being erected on the roofs of the Catholic University of America. In a quiet corner of Philadelphia, the buzzing center of papal-preparation madness, there stands, carefully guarded, a lectern newly wrought of burnished black walnut, the product of thousands of dollars in labor and materials, that is just a stand-in for the one the pope will use. Up and down the Northeast corridor, armies of organizers and event planners, stagehands and counterterrorism experts, tree pruners and translators, high school tuba players and even a …show more content…

But as those charged with procurement of wafers and the placement of metal detectors can attest, nothing is simple about a six-day, three-city, two-dozen-event papal trip that is a cross between a military operation, a diplomatic mission and an arena-rock
After the Pax Romana
The early life of Pope John XXIII shaped his morality and future ideas, and his travelling made him tolerant towards other people, cultures and beliefs. He believed that “No one is excluded by love” and pursued this belief throughout is papacy, even visiting prisons in order to forgive those who had sinned,
The speech at the Council also addressed other issues which related to church discipline. For example the speech emphasised papal spiritual and temporal authority by granting anyone who went on the crusade full remission of his or her sins. It was Urban’s first declaration of the concept of a Holy War. At this time, ceremonies were a major way of capturing peoples’ imaginations, and in giving this speech with such a large audience, Urban was sure to win over many members of the public who would want to go on this journey for him. The numbers of men, women and children fired up by the idea of a crusade was possibly also increased by the fact that the Pope timed the speech to fall just at the start of the season of advent, and his subsequent visits through France to coincide with Lent, - both times when Christians were most open to the concept of penance.
On April 15, 2013, Boston’s first attack on public citizens, in a long time. During this attack 3 civilians were killed and later on there was an officer shot by the suspect. There was also 264 people who were wounded during this time as well. All this was caused by two bombs that went off on Boylston Street each at different parts of the street. This was known as the Boston Bombing. Hello I’m Cameron Smith, our country has many monuments and memorials, all dedicated to people or events that would never be forgotten in America's history. On the dated listed above the Boston Bombing happened, which affected many people who lived in America. This is why I am proposing a new monument to honor all those people who risked their lives to go save others who, were injured. This monument would also honor those who lost their lives during this tragic accident. This monument would be built in Boston, near where the bombs went off.
The Pope is the head of the Church: he represents the ultimate religious authority. However, as a Bishop of Rome, the Pope is also in command of certain secular affairs, including some military aspects. Certainly, the Pope is a link between the earthly and the divine realms. Problems arise when the imperfect world the Pope physically lives in interferes with his heavenly objectives. Taking Pope Gregory I as an example, I am going to look at his letters to analyze how he reconciled his political and spiritual goals, whether he valued one category over the other, and how he justified it.
The Counter Reformation was a goal that helped “worshippers achieve the emo- tional state of religious ecstasy” (Stockstad & Cothren, p. 725). Pope Sixtus V had then made it his goal was to make proper embellishments for churches and the settings of the churches. The Counter Reformation was also made in response to the Protestant Reformation that was lead by Martin Luther. The Catholic church had then wanted to reestablish Rome and make it the cultural center of the Western world. Later on, Roman popes became patrons of architecture to defends Rome’s domination, that had continued for 100 years, and Rome’s prestige.

To fairly explain the context of Pope Urban II’s speech we need to consider what’s been going on in Europe and Asia for the few hundred years
The pope is coming to visit Mexico for a week. Many Mexicans hope that his visit will help with the corruption and violence that Mexico is currently battling. This is the first time any pope has been invited to the national palace, which is odd because Mexico has the second largest population of Catholics in the world. Apparently, even priests have been targets of violence from vicious gangs and drug cartels. The priests now have to watch what they say in their sermons for fear of retaliation. The article touches on a resort that used to be a hotspot for vacationers and is now one of the most violent cities in the world. A nearby community is also one of the poorest in Mexico now because of this violence.

The History of Baseball Equipment Did you know that baseball was once called "the national pastime?” So many people played the game as a child, or played softball. Baseball is also a democratic game which means that players could be successful with average height and weight. The equipment of baseball, bats, balls and gloves, has changed in many ways over the years. Baseball has been around since before the American Civil War.
When thinking about the memorialization of a person or event, it is important to consider the monuments’ location. Placing a statue in a beautiful area or a place where a significant event took place is a great place to consider. A memorial of Christopher Columbus stands in Riverside Park in Eaton Pennsylvania (Source E). Walking through the park on a beautiful day reminds
Post 1 Pope Urban II has called the council of Clermont together to give a speech on the problem of the Muslims attaching the catholic pilgrimages. Part of his speech is as follows; On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it is meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it. (from the lesson)
The United States of America is known for having a history consisting of intolerance towards ideals and opinions. However, America is showing a turn towards liberalism. America has shown a turn in religion, immigration, and race.
