All hail his almighty ­— the divine one. The one in white. The one who kisses the heads of the innocent. The one who shakes the hands of the poor. He is here. He has ventured to the vast country. The land of the free. The home of the litigious, the obese, the capitalists and the, shall we say, brave.

The pope has made it to America.

Our country seemed to be the only country that celebrated the arrival of the pope with overblown welcome. People sang. People cheered. People had pope soap on a rope. You think I’m kidding, but I am not. Yes, a bar of soap hanging from a rope that resembled his righteousness. Among other pope products, a toaster that stamps the pope’s face on your bread. A miniature pope mobile car. A hoodie, a men’s tie, socks, baby’s clothing and a life-size cutout of the man saluting a thumbs up.

It amused me, the sheer appreciation Americans have for this man. Celebrities and politicians bid marvelous welcomes; ordinary citizens changed their schedules to accommodate watching his broadcasted arrival. The approval for the pope spread to those of devoute faith, and to those of none.

“I’m not religious Pope Francis, but I like the cut of your job,” comedian Jim Carrey said in August.

“Pope Francis revitalizing Church worldwide with wonderful challenging statements and actions. Certainly making me, like much others, rethink much,” said Rupert Murdoch in a tweet.

Rethink much you will, Murdoch.

Now, I am not a Catholic, nor am I very religious, but I wouldn’t mind crossing my father, son, Holy Spirit fingers to say “howdy” to the man in white, amen.

However, the only aspect I question is this: Why does it take a visit from the pope for our country to act humble? What intrigued me most, or what entertained me, rather, was the response that came from the political realm.

As the pope entered the chambers of Congress to address the nation, I couldn’t believe the liveliness in the room from such a segregated group. Then again, no one knew what protocol to use for the occasion, says a CNN article, “5 key questions about the Pope’s trip to America.” It had never been done before.

Outgoing speaker of the house John Boehner cried (no surprise) tears of joy over his righteousness. Still, I think those tears were of sorrow after the pope declined lunch with him to visit with the homeless instead.

Pope Francis attempted to stay above the biased quarrel of both political parties, according to Catholic officials. It seemed only obvious his every word would be deconstructed and whirled for political advantage. We have something to look forward to, come 2016. Possibly Trump soap?

Nevertheless, America’s reaction to the pope visiting our great nation was a story in itself. Never have I seen our country act in a more welcoming and receiving manner. Never have I witnessed people setting aside their egos, agendas or narcissistic personae, even just for a brief moment.

The pope springs hope. Hope, with soap.
