Anyway, I think there will be a song dedication because the Pope bloke and Bono got on pretty well and it's fair to say they were mates.
I don't have a problem with Bono and the boys paying tribute to the Pope....i just hope it is more out of a hardcore respect for the bloke rather than just because "the WHOLE world is mourning his death - which, haha, believe me it's not...
RIP Popey

well, it belive Bono will surely say something in Poland...
Becasue here, it's hard to even describe the sadness and despair that is around..
I'd love to hear Bono dedicating"Walk on" or "Miracle Drug" to the Pope...It would carry those 70000 people in Chorzow..

Here is a beautiful little article regarding Bono's feelings at the passing of Pope John Paul II:
Bono cheers 'best frontman' Pope
Bono travelled widely as part of his anti-poverty campaigning
U2 lead singer Bono has paid tribute to Pope John Paul II, calling him the "best frontman the Roman Catholic Church ever had".
They met when they campaigned to end world debt and both were nominees for the Nobel peace prize.
Bono described the late pontiff - who died on Saturday - as "a great show man, a great communicator of ideas".
"Without John Paul II its hard to imagine the Drop the Debt campaign succeeding as it did," Bono added.
The Drop the Debt movement campaigns to convince wealthy nations to cancel the debts of the world's poorest countries.
The Pope met Bono, along with other pop stars, aid workers and economists, in 1999 as the movement pushed for rich nations to write off debt owed by developing countries by the year 2000.
"How could you turn this man down?", Bono said about the Pope at the time.
The Pope also strove to understand popular culture and reach out to the world's young people.
In this vein, he once invited Bob Dylan to perform for him at a church congress in Bologna and joined the Eurythmics, Alanis Morissette and Lou Reed at a concert in Rome in aid of debt reduction.

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I did.
Bono could realize the Good in the Pope because that same Goodness lives within his Heart and Soul.
Tonight, we sing this for the Holy Father, a friend to the world's poor
(pause) and a great wearer of fly shades." -

near last part of the song.
