The Pope Is Heading to Benin Over The Weekend ( Preview)

This is the time of year when a lot of American ,mostly non going Church white folks, talks about Africa and condoms. It's significant because it's the only time of year most of these folks care or think about Africa which is important for them to do of course.

Yes the Pope is going for a quick trip to Africa. So far maybe perhaps because so much is in the news neither condoms or this trip has been mentioned yet. But we have still have time for this to get on the MSM radar.

Even without the required "condom controversy" there is a lot of interesting sidelines to this trip. Including one that revolves around a comic book.
