Pope Benedict XVI will be visiting Poland from May 25-28, 2006, and I will try to post as often as I can as the Holy Father makes this journey to Poland. Poland's TVP public broadcaster has promised to ban all TV ads that contain any erotic or violent scenes during the Pope's visit. Pope Benedict XVI is calling this trip a journey of remembrance for his predecessor, Pope John Paul II.

The Holy Father's schedule:

May 25:
May 26:
May 27:
May 28:

"Poland's TVP public broadcaster has promised to ban all TV ads that contain any erotic or violent scences during the Pope's visit."

If only it lasted longer than just the Pope's visit.
