Clemens’ Daughter Blessed By Pope

Posted on April 17th, 2008 by Bassett

The Jets QB was moved to the point of tears Thursday after Pope Benedict XVI blessed and kissed his newborn daughter, Kate Elizabeth, following Benedict’s two-hour, open-air Mass at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.

Clemens and his family were in Washington with the group Catholic Athletes For Christ. The Pontiff was greeting some of the over 45,000 attendees and happened to meet Clemens, his wife Nicole, and their 4-week-old baby, on the edge of an aisle on floor seating.

“My eyes welled up with tears, it was such a moving experience. I don’t really know if we fully understand just how special it was. That’s a direct [spiritual] descendant of Peter, and there he is giving a blessing and a kiss to our child. To have the day unfold the way it did was just an awesome experience.”

Let’s hope some of the divine rubbed off onto Clemens …

    So, he’s got that going for him.

    You know how many times I said, ‘Oh, God’, last season.

    Hopefully Kellen prays harder for the team next year than he did last year.

    Was it Monsanto Pope?

    I don’t know about his wife, but his sisters are pretty attractive.

    Direct descendant of Peter? If he was a direct descendant of Joe Willie I might be more impressed…
