Day 5: Francis v. Benedict?!?

Guatemala, like all of Latin America, has World Cup fever. A few of our group just saw Argentina advance to the next round…

…Which raises an interesting question. I’m not a sports guy, but apparently the star Brazilian player has an injured vertebrae and is out. That team will suffer from his absence in their next game against Germany. They are vulnerable. Argentina just beat Belgium.

Will we see a photo of Pope Francis and Emeritus Pope Benedict, sitting side-by-side, imparting competing blessings upon their teams as they watch the final game? That’s something I’d like to see! Might even become a soccer fan!
