I’m looking at it as kind of a keys-to-the-city kind of thing.

Rome is not the Vatican, if that’s what concerns you. Completely different government.

Exactly. My first thought was “so what? a secular government honors someone, what relevence does that have to the faith?”

I think it’s because of the way protestants continually misunderstand the term “roman Catholic” or even that it’s more of a nickname than an officially declared name of the church to creates this sort of thing.
 
referring to OP, don’t you think that is great? in this world where terrorists want to torment the world w/ violence, following the dictate of satan, dalai lama is a “breath of fresh air”. only peace and love can bring sanity back in humankind.
God bless.
