Ringing Church Bells for Pope is Catching On!

PewSitter's "modest proposal" has got legs!  From Whispers in the Loggia:

"....as for 'Dem Bells, it seems the ringing'll be taking place far and wide come Touchdown Time, tomorrow at 4pm Eastern."

"Among others, both the Stateside church's oldest cathedrals -- Baltimore's Basilica of the Assumption and St Augustine Cathedral-Basilica in Florida -- will let 'em rip for three minutes. In New York, the Actors Chapel at St Malachy's on Times Square's joining in, as is the capital's oldest parish, St Mary's in Rockville... and somebody said that the idea even got pitched on EWTN this morning."

New Jersey's got it covered too:

"Church bells across the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark will ring at 4 p.m. Tuesday in honor of Pope Benedict XVI's arrival at Andrews Air Force Base, for the start of his six-day U.S. trip that includes stops in Washington and New York. The bells will ring for about two minutes. The archdiocese includes Essex, Union, Hudson and Bergen counties."

I know churches in Lowell are participating too.  Church bells ringing across the country!!
