    The thousands of get-'em-while-they-last tickets to see Pope Francis' speech on immigration and religious freedom at Independence Mall didn't last very long.
    Just ask Emilie Haertsch of Cheltenham. She dedicated her lunch break at her communications job to securing four spots in the crowd, the maximum allowed per person.
    At noon, when tickets were released, she tried, and was told: "Just hold tight, she said. "After maybe 30 seconds or so, I was told the tickets were unavailable."

    • I will defiantly ignore this event.

    To me, this event is no more than a huge rock concert.

    • I declined a free ticket to see him driving through Central Park. I would have gone just for the spectacle, if only the wait time wasn't so long.

    Some would have people believe that I'm a deceiver because I've used various handles on different Catholic forums. They only know this because I've always offered such information, unprompted. Various troll accounts on FE. Ben on SuscipeDomine. Patches on ABLF 1.0 and TeDeum. GuitarPlucker, Busillis, HatchC, and Rum on Cathinfo.
