Re: In today's news...
I was raised Roman Catholic, but left when my own beliefs differed too greatly. I admire this new pope, though, and hearing him drop a curse word (even by accident) makes me like him just a little bit more.
In other news, things have reached what seems to be a rather scary tempo in Eastern Europe. I mostly rely on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty for my news (primarily because I don't trust American sources where Europe is concerned).
I'm not necessarily suggesting that Britain and Germany's cautious approach is wrong. Honestly, I don't have a good solution for the current predicament (if I did, I'd be running for office). These developments have me rather concerned, though, as a situation like this can spiral out of control easily, and there are no signs of deescalation as yet.
Not entirely sure this is real, but amusing if it is:

Obviously, this is a major blow for anyone trying to claim that just because they've been "saved", they're perfect.
Even having been raised Christian myself, I'm viewing this with attitude of "mistakes happen, and even the Pope is still human".
