Singapore is abuzz with anticipation of the forthcoming papal visit; I was there in June, during a couple of weeks in the Far East. Last time I visited, I interviewed Archbishop William Goh, who was about to head off to Rome to receive his red hat from Pope Francis.
Recovering from the journey out for my most recent visit, on Corpus Christi Sunday I opted for the 6 p.m. Mass at Good Shepherd Cathedral. In and out in 30 minutes, I thought, and back for sundowners on the balcony within the hour. Be careful what you pray for, as they say.
