Sucks to be you.
And as another poster in this thread has already asked, you guys are aware, aren't you, that the Pope doesn't issue invitations himself? He has people for that.
Oh, and one other thing: Several of you guys seem confused on the offices of president and chancellor. As several news stories have already stated, the chancellor of PASS, Marcelo Sánchez Sorondo, is the superior of the president, Margaret Archer. Per the PASS bylaws, the role of president is largely ceremonial, and entails banging the gavel at the beginning and ending of meetings and making introductory remarks. The real work gets done by the chancellor. Ask yourself this (to cite one example of many): Who are you familiar with: The German president, Joachim Gauck? Or the German chancellor, Angela Merkel?
