What that has to do with the article? he is an important person, period. You should be more concern about people worshiping Donald Trump.
Hate to interrupt the debate over whether people worship the pope and the validity of Catholicism, but for those people receiving their shipments from UPS, I recommend you enroll in UPS MyChoice now, and then when you get the notification of your inbound delivery, use the MyChoice features to redirect to a UPS Facility, UPS Store, or another residential address (there may be fees for the redirect).
I may be a practicing RC, but I would be MIGHTY p'od if I didn't/don't get my phone on the 25th!!!
I understand need ror security but this is ridiculous.
There'll be hundreds of thousands of people crowding around to see him, but can't get the trucks through?! BS!!!
Every time some "dignitary" comes around, evertone else has to suffer. Whenever that clown in the White House comes up our way for vacation, every else's time is ruined.

Not everyone is Catholic so not everyone cares - as it should be.
Security is fine.
Locking down entire areas? Smacks of totalatarianism and repression.
I find it baffling that in 2015 they'd still shut down entire cities to welcome these folkloristic characters, but what really disturbs me is the fact that a lot people are actually going to get mad about the shipment delay.
hmm.. just a bunch of whiney *******s that couldn't get their phones on launch day, cuz you know, a foreign leader is visiting.
would it make you less an ass if it's the queen of england who's doing the visit?
sometimes i just hate people.
Pretty sure you would be slightly upset if something were to impede your iPhone arrival as well.
I don't live anywhere near there thankfully. I will also say, the pope isn't a leader of anything.
Well, as a lifelong Catholic and 4th Degree, I think you need to open your eyes to what people around you are doing and "worshiping".
The comments in this thread are ridiculous. Why is religion so hated? Don't blame the religion, blame the extremists who commit the acts "in religion's name." I posted a thread here once asking about a Bible version and the thread was flooded initially by off-topic comments.
However, I do sympathize. I would be extremely annoyed if I got my iPhone 6S late just because he was visiting.

I feel for the NYC and Philadelphia members on here.
This is BS though, the world has to stop for one religious man? Also, what does delivering a package have to do with security? Prevents a would be assassin from having his bomb or rifle delivered from Amazon?

It's either the added congestion, or a security measure to keep certain items from getting close to him? I really don't understand the suspended service either.
Heh, that made me laugh. I understand people being annoyed, but some of them seem outright furious!
One hing you are not considering is the disruption the delay causes when you need to sign for the delivery. People have schedules to adhere to. This might screw those up.
Would screw me up as as I'm around on the 25th but gone after that.
Religion has always been used as a tool for suppression.
You should probably use google so you can understand some of these terms and concepts then.
Exactly. You'd think Pope Francis is killing puppies etc
And it wasn't his or Apple's decision. It was UPS etc that decided it's not cost effective to work within the restrictions.
I can't wait until this insanity is over. Not just UPS, all mail will not be delivered. "No car" zones for blocks - and every car in these zip codes must be off the streets by tomorrow night. Fences are up, literally blocks of bright blue 3000+ port o potty's are in place (HOPE they remain locked until Friday) The traffic is already gridlocked. I never seen anything like it.
