Thats a fact. My friend is a truly spirit filled brother and very spiritually aware of his surroundings. He said he felt a draw to his "Catholic roots" by the "glory" of the whole scene of being in an audience of hundreds of thousands listening to the Pope, with all of the ancient buildings and dedicated followers of Catholicism. Thats is in his words, how Catholicism stays so popular in Italy. It is their own version of Mecca.

Yes. So many times, people tie emotional feeling they may have as something from the Lord. We must be careful that our emotions, and feelings line up with the Word of God, instead of a warm, fuzzy, feeling about something that is contrary to God's word.
