New York City plans to deploy an extra 6,000 police officers to help guard Pope Francis during his visit. It'll be the most protection a Catholic has ever used.
President Obama this morning gave Pope Francis a sculpture of an ascending dove made with pieces of the Statue of Liberty and wood taken from the White House lawn, as well as a key to the house of the first American-born saint. The Pope then said, “Oh, I didn't get you anything” and quietly put a $40 Starbucks gift card back in his pocket.
