Pope and RMN to meet today

I looked at KSL.com this morning and no interesting news. Then looked at SLtrib.com and found the story that RMN is to meet the Pope today. Isn’t that a twist of stories. Usually, KSL pummels you with stories on how awesome the Q15 are. Anyway, It’s the first time a profit had met the Pope. This must be why all the Q15 went to Rome.
I hope RMN listens to Pope Francis and takes some lessons on apologizing.

Nah, the Pope wants to meet with RSN to better learn how to mitigate a sex abuse cover up.

I have a feeling it's a much bigger deal for Pres. Nelson than for the pope.
Do you think RMN will refer to him as Your Holiness or Mr. The Beast? Do you think he'll be able to resist saying something like, "You know, I have more priesthood power in my little finger than you have in your entire church." (a phrase I picked up from my Aaronic Priesthood days)

If they give the pope a Book of Mormon, I recommend they remove 1st Nephi chapter 13 first.

Yeah..... what's that old saying? "If the mountain won't come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain."
I'm at a loss to explain why the Pope has never come to Salt Lake seeking an audience with any Mormon prophet.....and it would be such a feather in his zucchetto. Or better yet the papal mitre!
For that matter, RMN could show off his baker's hat and fig leaf apron to the Holy See! Wouldn't that be special....

I would love to see RMNs face if the pope leaned over and whispered in his ear “Bruce R McConkie”.
Lol

From RMN twitter: "Today President M. Russell Ballard and I met with His Holiness Pope Francis at the Vatican. He is a wonderful, gracious man. We have much in common. The differences in doctrine are real—and they’re important—but they’re not nearly as important as the things we have in common."

Oh ya'll…
This is so embarrassing
Look what Rusty gave him... Oh I can't even...
A cheap a$$ framed copy of Fam Proc
And a Jesus statute. 'Cause the Pope doesn't have enough of those. I mean he only lives in the F-ING Vatican.

If the differences in doctrine aren't really all that important why not just go Catholic?

Is it really a Proc Against the Family? (I was wondering...)
Rusty is like: "Here your holiness; A 'fancy' document, produced by my legal team!"

If there's one thing that the Mormon church and Catholic church can agree on, it's that gay people make for some seriously sweet punching bags.

Things that pop in my head:
Pope: tell me about that 1800 number where you can magically cover up sexual abuse?
What do you think the pope will do with his gifts from RMN? Throw them in the trash?
Do you think RMN brought extra security just to look super impressive?

Why was it only Ballard and not Oaks and Eyring with Nelson?
Maybe they didn't want Eyring photographed with mouth agape.

I'm betting the Catholic church has a huge storage facility (think Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark) where this sort of thing is exiled to oblivion. But no sweat! Church members are glad to see their tithing spent this way.....
