Papal Gridlock Comes to NYC, DC, Philly

Among the many precautions being taken ahead of Pope Francis's visit to America is a ban on flying drones in New York—and a shutdown of postal service to some neighborhoods. Francis will effectively shut down Washington, D.C., too, with federal employees being told to work from home—the Papal equivalent of a "snow day." He will also have a Spanish-speaking Secret Service agent by his side at all time, in addition to his usual Swiss Guards.

Whaddabout the US Congress :

after having The Chosen One, BiBi address them , the Pope is 2nd fiddle 

Pope Francis concludes his midday prayer with US bishops at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington, DC

Today is Yom Kippur : The Jews Day of Atonement !

and the EID
fullahs day

Happy gridlock

I think that these precautions are done as this may stop anyone trying to cause any problems and also, need to be aware of what happens during the visit. It is interesting to see what happens when the pope visits the city, and also think that some people will get a holiday for the time being. It is a big job to make sure the place is secure and also, do more to make sure the visit is memorable and also enjoyable as well and people have a positive view of the visit.

I watched the Pope in Cuba and  in the good ole US  of A. According to CNN, there were about 10.000 security personnel deployed  in New York . In Cuba ? Less than 100

Did they say what was the reason for that

Yeah : a Jewish firm won the private security contract.


The Vatican then asked for a christian security company to wath the jews
