Perche is Il Papa Such a Raitngs Hit?

My paisan is right, by the world's standards this doesn't make sense. There IS an explaination. The answer is simple, people are tired of what the world has to offer & how empty it is. Il Papa is offering a welcome alternative by proclaiming the truth of the Gospel. & as Neil points out, he is touching hearts & changing them. Or should I say the Holy Spirit is working through Papa Benedetto to get the message out to a world hungry for it.

The Holy Father Is a Ratings Prayer Answered

Neil Cavuto
Have you been following any of this pope coverage?
Apparently you're not alone.
The guy's a ratings magnet.
And at 81, a real draw with younger viewers as well, actually, especially younger viewers.
I've seen it in news ratings.
This channel, all channels.
The Holy Father is a ratings prayer answered.
Which defies logic, if you think about it, or conventional media logic if you hear it.
Old people don't rate.
Apparently they do.
Messages of simple goodness won't sell.
Apparently they will.
And a guy who talks about building us up will fare better than candidates determined to drag each other down.
The build up guy does better than the tear-down ones.
I don't know if it's a sign of a nation tired of political in-fighting, credit-crunching, or mortgage-melting, but I do know Pope Benedict is melting something else.

Our hearts.
Not just Catholic hearts. All hearts.
All interested not only to see the novelty of a pope in the U.S.
But a timely message for the U.S.
I like you. I admire you. I thank you.
Sometimes people need to hear they're valued.
Not from politicians who want our vote.
But from a simple and decent man who wants nothing more than to prove he wants us, period.
That, my friends, is love.
And it matters.
And yes, it rates.
