GUEST,Dave'sWife at work Lyr Add: Papal Hymn / Long Live the Pope (79* d) RE: Lyr Add: Long Live the Pope 08 Apr 05

Wow. I hadn't thought of this hmyn in many years.

I was told by the Nuns back around the time that JP II was touring the USA for the 1st time that it was a hymn written for Pope Pius the the 9th (???) who was the Pope who insituted Papal Infallibility and the doctrine of The Immaculate Conception of Mary. That would make it well before 1908 but that wouldn't be the first time somebody thought a Hymn was older than it really was, would it?

Do I have the right Pope? I recall being told it was about the Pope who who did those things but my memory of Popes prior to one in office at the time my birth is now kinda spotty. I used to know them all in order, but alas.. when one lapses.. you jettison that kind of thing from your memopry so you can stuff in 18 new verses of Skibereen! LOL
