Pope Leo sells out US event clashing with parade on Trump's birthday

dcsports said:
You are trying REALLY hard. Do you really think a livestream of a Mass (if it is livestreamed) is somehow a conflict with a flag day/army celebration? Why would someone want to watch a livestream of a Mass in Chicago?

As a RC Christian, I think I will be watching a replay of Pope Leo's mass on Sunday morning, and catch a bit of the Army Birthday Parade on Saturday, June 14th via a live broadcast.

Why don't you watch his message, then tell me if you don't see the contrast.

What would that prove? Since it seems important to you -WHY don't you watch and report back.

Well, yeah, because trump, not Biden, is the Commander-in-Chief (and was the CinC when the parade was added.)

Sorry, but that's absurd.

Seems more about Trump's ego and immaturity. He is fascinated with himself and parades

Says more about the obsession of the left with Trump.

Of course, it's not "absurd".

Under CinC Biden, there was no parade planned. Trump, who has wanted a parade for a long time, succeeds Biden as CinC, and.....viola! There's a military parade!

So, yes, whether you accept it or not, the parade is trump's. There's simply no way around this fact.

Helpful advice: save your denial-in-the-face-of-facts for another, more damning action taken by trump.

No deliberate conflict on Pope Leo's part.
Thankfully, most people have the ability to watch them both because they can record the two events.

Can't wait to hear Pope Leo's message, and a celebratory mass via video, and a very Happy Birthday to our 47th President of the United States and the 250th celebration of the United States Army. I'll be watching the latter live, I suspect.

You don't need to tape the events to watch them both.

They'll be running in sequence.

I'm looking forward to a chill Saturday, soaking-up the good of my new Pope and my country's celebration of its Army.

Different cities. Different times. Completely different events. Not to mention, the event in DC isn't about Trump.

It isn't about Trump but the felon is making it about himself. You just watch.

Nothing better than having the freedom to do both but I don't know if I can watch that much TV in one day. That's why I thought I'd save the Pope's mass for Sunday morning.

They also are at different times. The Chicago Catholic event starts at 2:30, and the Washington DC event starts at 6:30pm

Just top add:

The "Chicago" event is essentially a national event (first U.S, visit), that is taking place in Chicago.

roflol. So made up based on what you think. Got it.

How are you having such difficulties understanding the arguments in the matter?

Just what do you think it means, that "there's no record of such an event"?
 
dcsports said:
Since it now includes a parade, it's about Trump's Birthday? You don't see the disconnect?
Click to expand...

I can't speak to Trump's birthday.

But I was speaking to his adding the unplanned Military Parade.

Now if you're asking me if I believe Trump could be using the occasion to celebrate his birthday? I believe he could, and likely will. Which of course would be wrong, detracting from the men that laid down their lives for the org we are celebrating.

It is absurd to decide the inclusion of a parade changes it into an event about Trump's birthday.

It's trump's event....that's what I've said. And that's what I've proved.

No, it's really a local event at best.

The Pope isn't visiting. He's delivering a message on the screen at the event.

Per... you?

This is a big deal. I expect most networks will cover at least parts of it live, if not the whole event.

I wonder. Has any network committed to broadcasting either event?

As far as scheduling conflicts there are none. The Pope spectacular starts at 12:30 p.m. local time with the mass celebrated at 4 p.m.

The Army's birthday parade starts at 6:30 p.m., finishes about 7:30 p.m., followed by fireworks at 9:40 p.m.

Networks, if they so choose, can cover both, but my bet is the parade gets the widest attention.

That's what the OP is trying to suggest - that the parade is to celebrate Trump's birthday.

We're talking two different time zones, one in DC and the other in Chicago.
