My kind of Pope!

"Benedict’s kindness toward the strays of Rome is already the stuff of Vatican legend. His house in Germany, its garden guarded by a cat statue, was filled with cats when Benedict lived there full time before he was posted to the Vatican in 1982. "

This is a quote from today's "New York Times" article titled Cat Lovers Appreciate Soul Mate in Vatican. Normally I will curl up on top of the Times for a nap or bat a paw at it while it's being read, but today I nearly shredded the paper in my enthusiasm for this article. Please read the rest of this inspiring story.

You are brave fighters for religion and human rights. You are losing your workers to disease and death brought on by Egan's brutality. Now last Thursday Dalia Bulgaris suffered a stroke and is now at St. vincent's hospital. She needs your prayers. Saulius Simoliunas
