CAPTION: As the Pope visits America, vendors are selling products that reflect the Pope's likeness on everything from keychains to hats. (April 14)
----------------------------------------
[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE]
You might have to take a second glance to realize ---no ---this is not the Pope standing outside of a New York gift shop. [Notes:show cardboard pope waiving]
It is one of many "pope-like-nesses" available for sale, marking the Holy Father's visit to America. [Notes:pan of table of products]
Cashing in on a rare-papal visit --vendors are offering bumper stickers ---- hats ---- t-shirts ---key chains--jewelry and more ------ [Notes:cut to each one as track flows]
It's all available for those who'd like to have something tangible to Benedicts's first American visit as Pope. [Notes:file of pope]
[Notes:Neil Fusco, owner of Mt. Carmel Religious Books and Gifts]
[Notes:SOT: "We're trying to excite people about our holy father coming to the states.]
But would the 81-year-old leader of the Catholic church approve of such commercialism? [Notes:pope file]
This follower thinks --it's good for the spiritual community.
[Notes:Sarah Ryan, a Catholic store owner]
SOT: "My prayer is that every corner, like you see Dunkin Donuts, will have a Catholic shop and that all the Catholic shops will come together in unity - one universal.
Even at Washington's Basilica of the National Shrine ---- shoppers are lining up to collect trinkets of the papal visit.
[Notes:SOT: we want something to have to be able to tell our children and grandchildren about this experience.]
A sentiment -- echoed by many ------- who may only get this close to a meeting with the pope. [Notes:show shot of people taking picture with cardboard pope]
