| Subject: Idiots: Poor Mexico spends millions to greet the pimping pope Fri Mar 23, 2012 7:57 am | |
| It has been a project of celestial proportions, but it's finally ready. Construction workers have labored nonstop for months.
Their mission? To build an altar worthy of a pope and an outdoor venue that can accommodate as many as 700,000 people.
The altar where Pope Benedict XVI will celebrate Mass on Sunday is located at Bicentennial Park in Mexico's Guanajuato state, the heartland of Mexican Catholicism. Guanajuato has the highest percentage of Catholics in Mexico at well over 90 percent.
