In one of the great spectacles of Christendom, yesterday's PopeStop at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela (homily) saw the unleashing of the botafumeiro -- the Spanish shrine's famous 5-foot-tall mega-thurible, suspended from its ceiling and said to reach top speeds approaching 70 kilometers an hour (42mph) as it swings across the sanctuary, peaking at an arc of some 200 feet....Security must have loathed that moment.
