Um, where do you come up with this stuff?Very few people take off more than a day and a half for Yom Kippur, and people who observe Yom Kippur rarely travel for the holiday (why travel somewhere for a holiday that involves no food and little else other than praying?). Not to mention the Pope won't even be in Philadelphia for Yom Kippur, he'll be in DC, and plenty of people are attending his events in Washington. In many parts of North America (and the rest of the world) without significant Jewish populations, Yom Kippur is just like any other regular workday (assuming it doesn't fall on Shabbat, which it doesn't this year). The organizers of the World Meeting of Families (in other words, the Roman Curia) probably don't look at the Jewish or Islamic calendars when planning because why would they? Since when has the Curia been concerned with religious calendars other than its own? |
