For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: The Pope visits Ground Zero [1] (paragraph break removed):

On Sunday, the final day of his trip, Pope Benedict XVI will visit Ground Zero to honor those who died on 9/11. Family members of several victims will join the pope for the private service at 9:30 a.m. Praying at and blessing the sacred ground at the World Trade Center site is being called the 'emotional high point' of the pontiff's visit to the United Sates [sic].

What does this visit to the former location of the Twin Towers mean to you? Might this act as a final closure for those who lost family and friends on 9/11?

In general, what does the Pope's visit to America mean to you?
