Drat, the updating tool is misbehaving again, so I’ll post some News items here again.

No secularism, no gay marriage, plenty of incense and pointed hats.
Pope tells everyone what to do some more
Said children’s lives are “sacred and inviolable” but forgot to explain about protecting child-raping priests.

Yeah, read that Spanish bit this AM. My alternate headline: Pope whines that no one pays attention to him anymore. (Well, I can wish it was true, can’t I?)
Yeah, nothing says ‘solemn’ quite like pointy, shiny hats.
Quite – nothing says ‘solemn’ quite like pointy, shiny hats the size of wastebaskets.
Oh, just wait until they actually finish the Sagrada Familia, including the polychrome paint. (It’s awesome and bizarre, and when it’s painted, it’ll be positively psychedlic.)
That’s going to be a suitably surrealistic environment for Ratzinger’s pontifications.
(About the church, I mean surrealistic in a good way. Not so the Pope.)
I know, I’ve seen the Sagrada Familia. Gaudi’s a trip.

Well, there’s an endlessly re-usable headline.
