New Nit on the pope thing
The American pope is still Billy Graham, not Ashcroft.

And there is a small reason for hope there - the man seems to be mellowing with age. Saw an interview a while back where he was asked about homosexuality, and his answer was, along the lines of "well, yeah, it's a sin. So is gluttony. Lots of things are sins, this one isn't special."

But not a huge reason for hope - if he stops blessing every military action that comes along, he'll lose his special access to Presidents.

New Oops - right; Cardinal then?
But can you be a Cardinal with.. beady eyes + a squint?

Nice segue by Graham, though. It suggests that old dogs can indeed learn.

OT-

I still miss Father (Miller MB) Sale, a guy who could have brought much wisdom to the last 20 years of US theological infighting. He died early - from effects of a &*$%&# HS football injury. {sigh}

(I used to bring my cornet on cycle and play little pieces for Trumpet & Organ for Sunday services. Can't even recall what 'denomination' (Episcopal?) he represented, but as a person he was Everyman - and a consummate puncturer of sanctimonius Righteousness and all cant. That's why we really Needed his services..)

I can only imagine! what he'd have said about Ashcroft's conspicuous 'prayer meetings' at government office - all "voluntary" for associates, natch. Natch.
