Pope-o-meter

It's TRUE!!! The cross on Mount-Royal has turned purple.
It IS the world's largest indicateur papale [ed. clearly I need a redacteur].

Un-[infix deleted by moderator]-believable.
Sadly, I feel like celebrating because I'm so excited. I think this means:
(a) I'm too easily excitable by very wrong things, and/or
(b) I played "English vs. French in the New World" instead of "Cowboys & Indians" when I was a little girl. (The protestants always won, natch.)

I had a conversation last summer with a schooled catholic (you know, who learned how to colour in religion class), who felt that JPII was really a great guy. I thought that indicated that he wasn't really an ex-catholic. Now that I think about it, the pope was really a good guy. I'm not even going to add political footnotes. In pace requiem.
