The week-end was down time. Really Really Down.
The seasonal blight assailed me once again. With a vengeance..
Yesterday I wrote a post.
Clicked on publish.
It didn't.
I clicked on Save.
It chewed and swallowed.
I said; what the heck and surrendered to the omens.
Maybe someone from Newmarket will ask me for a reference.
I decided to absorb the news instead.
We are well represented in Rome. Pater Mansbridge is there for C.B.C. CTV had Lisa LaFlamme on a roof overlooking St. Peter's Square last night.
They're doing their best to whip up excitement for the process
.
The media talk about the problems the Church is facing and how a new Pope will have to deal with them.
I don't know why they think so. The last several didn't.
They've had Italians, a Pole and a German.
Cardinals don't become Cardinals unless they know how to toe the line.
That fellow in Scotland had to cancel his plans to go at the last minute. He is accused of inappropriate behaviour with priests.
We don't know what is meant by " inappropriate behaviour"
Does it mean he's gay ?
The Queen just signed a proclamation yesterday on behalf of the Commonwealth, recognizing rights of gay people.
The Scottish Cardinal is a citizen of the Commonwealth.
In some countries represented by Cardinals at the conclave, homosexuality is a criminal act.
I have the impression the Old Testament didn't think much of celibacy either.It wasn't part of early Christian tradition,.
The Judeo part of Judeo-Christianreligion had laws on just about everything. Spilling seed upon the ground was definitely frowned upon.
But they managed to make the change to celibacy, in theory at least. Kind of like a Code of Conduct.
The Scottish Cardinal's rights were recognised by the Queen a couple of days after it was decided he would not be welcome in Rome. He scuttled off into hiding somewhere.
Probably Ireland.
Women in small groups in weird costumes are striding about St Peter's Square carrying signs declaring this to be the last conclave to exclude women.
Yeah right!!!
A puff of pink smoke will be sent up in protest when the new Pope is chosen. Well whoop -di -doo
The eyes of the world will be fixed on the Cistene Chapel Chimney.
Maybe they won't find anyone who wants the job.
Now that would be newsworthy.
Fat chance .

Over the weekend the Star announced the arrest of a suspected sexual predator in the Maritimes. Aged 41, a former Salvation Army officer, Donny Snook was a City councillor until his arrest. He has not asked for bail.
I wonder if the city has a Code of Conduct for its councillors. According to Councillor Ballard, that would have made a difference?
12:57 is an idiot.... Code of Conduct is supposed to deal with how a Councillor or Mayor does his job. It has nothing to do with ciminal acts outside of the office he or she holds.
Try to think rationally people.
Saint John is devastated. Many thought they knew Mr Snook & he spent time with their kids. This is going to be very nasty.
I liked that the Cardinals had to draw lots for their room assignments to keep them from hanging out with buddies. That was smart.

Do you not understand sarcasm?
It was a good time to take a break. Don't rush back. My pussy-willows are coming out. Take care.
I like the name this man has chosen. And being a Jesuit means he isn't short of brains. Time will tell if he can kick some Vatican butt and clean up the Aegean Stables of the priesthood. What a scary job!
Who cares.... really?
George Carlin did a wonderful bit on the biggest bulls**t story ever told... the story of religion.
"There is a man, who lives in the sky. And if you don't do these 10 laws he will force you to suffer for ever in Hell.... but he "loves you"!"
