How do you feel about Pope Francis’s visit and the media coverage surrounding it?

Therese Deslippe ’18: I’m from Pennsylvania, from near Philadelphia. I hope his visit brings more attention to Philadelphia because there’s a lot of great things happening there such as 15 Now, there’s a strong socialist alternative presence there, too. Hopefully the Pope says something about that, about anti-capitalism. But it’s also shutting the whole city down and making it hard for workers, so that’s bad.

Jennifer Arnold ’19: I’m super excited about the colder weather, I love winter! A lot of people hate winter and think I’m completely crazy, but I cannot wait until it gets cold. I come from an area that’ s very cold at times, it’ s very seasonal, so whenever it’ s cold, I love
curling up with a hot chocolate and a book in my blankets and not wanting to get out of bed in the morning. That’ s what I’m looking forward to the most. I cannot wait.

    Unquestionably believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
