If you get a chance to meet Pope Benedict XVI during his visit to the U.S., how should you act? NPR asked Monsignor K. Bartholomew Smith.
Smith knew Pope Benedict XVI back when he was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and has met the pontiff a few times since Benedict ascended to the papacy three years ago.
The pastor of St. Bernadette Catholic Church in Silver Spring, Md., formerly served at the Vatican as secretary to Cardinal William Baum. Here’s his advice on proper papal protocol:
With the durable and beautifully finished surgical stainless steel body, the space efficient SWV-08AM is the newest megasonic cleaning device from Coway. Designed to provide you with an easier way to remove dirt and agrochemicals, this device uses sound waves to clean produce, meats, dishware, pots and pans and flatware with little to no detergent. The megasonic waves induce micro cavitation, shaking impurities loose from surfaces. Coway integrated the controller and faucet into this device, designing the SWV-08AM like a conventional faucet, small and easy to use and install. The water flowing through the jet spray faucet head washes impurities away, preventing second-hand contamination. The cleaning device also delivers clean water using its built-in P-Sediment filter. The P-Sediment filter has numerous folds on its surface to enlarge its filtration area, boosting its ability to remove fine particles in water. Two large buttons labeled strong and soft allow users to select the proper water pressure for heavy-duty tasks like washing dishes or more sensitive tasks like cleaning fruits and vegetables.
