His Holiness is coming! His Holiness is coming! That’s the warning Philadelphia has sounded for the upcoming arrival of Pope Francis' visit to the City of Brotherly Love Sept 26-27, complete with warning of street and bridge closures and parking impossibilities.

Now it turns out that people are heeding the warning. More than 100,000 SEPTA Papal passes for regional rails, which were originally released via lottery system, are still available as of last week. Septa is not only encouraging you to buy them but are now also saying that more than 23,000 parking spaces at train stops will also be available.

In fact Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput in a Sunday op-ed of the Philadelphia Inquirer is urging  you not to be afraid to attend events during the Pope’s visit.

Which begs the question, how bad do you want to attend this papal party?  On a scale of 1-10 with ten being the ultimate blessing for you, how bad do you want to see Pop Francis when he comes to Philadelphia?
