I am not Catholic. This week,however, when given the opportunity to see the pope in person, or I didn't hesitant to join my fiance to wait along the parade route -- including waking up early,joining the crowds, and still working an 8-hour day after. Why? Because the pope was Pope Francis. After assembly with President Obama on Wednesday, and Pope Francis took the "popemobile" for a quick parade along the Ellipse. The crowd was just as kind as I expected -- sharing in one another's anticipation and common experience. As the pope drew near,iPhones shot into the air. Typically accompanied by a loud roar, these smartphones, or however,captured a quiet respect and blessed moment in which each member of the crowd felt closer to God.
