I have been known to negotiate with the swiss guard to not miss confession or mass, but they are not on duty at the moment

I just got settled to my laptop after having to stay in the Square. I remain overwhelmed by Pope Francis!

Alfred, you are doing The Lord's work.

I have a feeling they'll take away her phone, her computer, her position at NRO, all of that one day, and she won't notice and continue typing on random walls.

by the Swiss Guard.

forgive my urbane isolationism but it kinda seems like KLo loves the pope (no matter who the pope is) more than, like, your average Archbishop.

Like did Polish Catholics venerate JP2 as much as she venerates this guy who was poped mere hours ago?

As KLo was told to believe when just a girl, so she believes today, with all her heart and all her soul and all her will and with whatever brains she can bring to bear on the subject at hand.

God doesn't want to cause suffering and he is with us in in suffering but He has to let us choose -- Fr Spitzer

maybe a little too pleasant a set, ultimately---here's the Terence Blanchard Quintet, with the return of Lionel Lueke's electric guitar: promising surges.

ack, meant for Rolling Jazz Newport coverage!

yes I'm on Twitter because the final 300 words of this column don't want 2b written. & this feels like it isn't procrastination. #Delusion

Hahah I want K-Lo to do nothing but jazz reviews.

don't want to hear about k-lo's "promising surges"

Pope Francis has tweeted 172 times in seven months. Have you read them? Do you have a favorite? Reading them can serve as a mini-retreat. They’re a reminder of the many opportunities for contemplation even in the midst of social-media noise.

... she gushed.
