Would I have watched it? Maybe. But to be honest, the show came on, and I didn't even think anything of watching it... until now. My mind is a bit elsewhere this week, it seems, as I prepare for a long overdue trip back to Dallas, Texas to spend Christmas with parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. "I guess its harder to screw up the Pope than Noah." I think there is much truth in that. The story of Noah may be in scripture, but it <em>is</em> a history of some time ago. The Pope, however, was recent history. Not as much room for "creative license" there. I opted out of watching the show. Would I have watched it? Maybe.

I didn't see all of it, just parts. I liked the early parts of his life as a young priest. His charasmatic youth isn't widely known by non-Catholics. It was okay, but I'm with you, I was skeptical. I saw that Noah special years ago. What a horrible DISASTER! It was horrid! What a bunch of crap! I guess its harder to screw up the Pope than Noah. What was your opinion? Did you see it?
