A Pope in New York
In case you miss it. Here is the Pope's UN Speech today at the UN HQ in New York from this afternoon.

Many ordinary people also got to catch a glimpse of the pope during his travels around New York even with the NYPD trying to hold people back. He also visited Ground Zero and handle mass near by praying for peace and calm.
