The Church Turns

Cats…again.  Now it’s Pope Benedict.  In what I can only hope is a move unsanctioned by the church, the Pope has taken a cat.

A cat.

Granted, it was on a trial basis.  It seems that while visiting Australia, the locals determined his live of the feline and loaned him said creature.

Thank God…literally…he doesn’t actually keep a cat at the Vatican.  they breed like rabbits, you know.  Look at any Roman ruin.  Imagine the Pieta with the addition of a life-size tabby straddling Mary’s shoulder.  A cat standing guard at the tomb of St. Peter?

What kind of spiritual leader prefers cats to dog, I ask you?

I wonder if they have dogs on the West Bank?

Chow.
