My lucky little sister got some amazing photos of our Holy Father last week when he visited her college, Catholic University of America. When Pope John Paul II visited CUA in 1979, it was those students who first chanted, “John Paul 2, we love you!” which was echoed my millions throughout the world for years to come. My sister says she was trying to convince people to chant “XVI – he’s our guy!” (pronouncing each letter of the Roman numeral for 16, as he is the sixteenth pope to take the name Benedict) but I guess that one never caught on. ;-)

She is a great photographer, and arrived early to get a good vantage point. These photos are better than most I’ve seen in the media, and certainly better than the ones on CUA’s website of the same event.
