Happy Anniversary Pope Benedict


                                   Happy Anniversary Pope Benedict!

 
 
Tallulah, did you know that it was 8 years ago today that Pope Benedicat XVI officially became the leader of the more than 1 billion Catholics in the world.

Did you say 1 billion! That is sure a big number. Hey I'd love to have 1 billion dog treats - now that would be cool.

That would not be cool Tallulah, you would be sick as a dog. LOL!

Hey isn't the pope's name Francis?

Yes our current pope is indeed Pope Francis. But Pope Benedict is still alive and he is now called the Pope emeritus. Before you ask, Emeritus is a fancy Latin word that means "having served one's time"

  1. 19639832745804532 is a big number. What does a billion look like?

  2. Hey Nussbaumer Kids! Our master told us all about the 4 of you. Maybe someday we will get to meet you in person.

    Cloë and Tallulah

    P.S. I think that number is even bigger than a billion.
