the pope must be one cool dude :D


Jan. 25, 2004 | VATICAN CITY (AP) -- In an unusual spectacle at the Vatican, Pope John Paul II presided Sunday over a performance of break-dancers who leaped, flipped and spun their bodies to beats from a tinny boom box.

The 83-year-old pontiff seemed to approve, waving his hand after each dancer completed a move, then applauding for the entire group. He watched the performance from a raised throne.


"For this creative hard work I bless you from my heart," he said.

1. Has the Holy Father forgotten that it is 2004, not 1984?

;-)

But seriously, that's cool for the dancers.

Those dancers were amazing, and the Pope was obviously digging it.
