I understand meeting the pope to discus graves in Europe and I ma sure that is what was asked of Da’as Torah. I don’t understand singing “shiros vsishbachos” for the pope, certainly not the song selected.
I wonder if Da’as Torah was consulted about that.
I also don’t understand asking the pope about how to deal with children as risk and other similar situations seems to be beyond what would be recommended by Da’as Torah.
These are well meaning people, but sometimes one has to wonder when people become so wrapped up that they can not take an objective look at their own actions.
