Meanwhile, Roger was streaming live, answering eager questions from his fans who were excited over the Pope's monumental announcement.
He gazed at the digital clock on the wall before him. It was 1:30 a.m. He took a deep breath and clasped his hands together. "Guys, I think we have to end it here. I'm sorry I couldn't entertain you longer. You know I need rest to be at my best tomorrow. I may fly out tomorrow to meet the Pope, so I have to get some rest. I'm so grateful for all your love and support; I really appreciate it. See you guys soon."
He cut off the feed. He sighed in relief. He didn't go to his bed immediately. He sat for a while, ruminating over the recent, mind-blowing events. "Mind-blowing" were the very words he used to qualify the sheer significance of everything that had recently transpired.
