Papal blessing for break-dancers
Monday, January 26, 2004 Posted: 8:32 AM EST (1332 GMT)
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- In an unusual spectacle at the Vatican, Pope John Paul II presided over a performance of break-dancers who leaped, flipped and spun their bodies to beats from a tinny boom box.
The 83-year-old pontiff seemed to approve, waving his hand after each dancer completed a move, then applauding for the entire group. He watched the performance from a raised throne.
"For this creative hard work I bless you from my heart," he said.
During Sunday's show, one dancer -- part of a Polish group that helps poor and marginalized youths -- planted his head on the inlaid marble floor of the Vatican hall and spun to loud applause from his group and from Vatican officials.
Another performer flung his body around in a series of spins and handstands.
"Artistic talent is a gift from God and whoever discovers it in himself has a certain obligation: to know that he cannot waste this talent, but must develop it," John Paul said.
Earlier Sunday, members of an Italian Catholic youth organization enthusiastically cheered the pope's weekly remarks in St. Peter's Square. A few were invited into his papal apartment and helped him release doves from his window.
The pope, who suffers numerous ailments but appeared relatively strong Sunday, called out to the other children cheering below his window.
"I love you all. I love you very much," he said. _________________ ∆ Cyx ∆

Can't argue with that.
That could be the motto of electro-music.com, if it wasn't so uncontroversial. |

The pope kisses everyone who comes his way? Or is it the other way around? _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

I am not a Vatican insider but, as far as I know, the Pope do not kiss everyone "who comes his way". You, if lucky , can kiss is hand.
That's about it _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube

Would it be out of bounds to lick his hand?
I wonder what they breakdanced to. Rock Steady Crew, or Ave Maria _________________ ∆ Cyx ∆
