Apparently, the celebrations don't get started until the Holy Father has been tackled...

 
What amused me was the announcement that Midnight Mass would be at ten o'c'ock instead of midnight because of the Pope's busy schedule!

What Gordon said ;)

Its not that unusual for an RC church to have a midnight Mass at an hour earlier than Midnight. We had ours at 9pm.

yeah but the Pope has always had it at midnight (hence the name midnight mass lol) which is why they made the announcement that it wouldn't be then. He could well be the first one for hundreds of years to have his midnight at ten.:)

That's true! Wasn't thinking about it in terms of Vatican traditions.

Pope Benedict is in his 80s, I suspect the change due to his busy schedule has more to do with maintaining his health.

Regardless, the headline Bill captured just cracks me up :lol:
 
I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be laughing at an 82 year old man that is the religious head of the Catholic church getting knocked down but "The Pope Tackle" is just a Damn funny thing to read :lol:
