Gotta have RDJ's "Come to Daddy" playing softly in the background (the
church paraphrases that song in practice as it is; why not take it to the
next level?). Make a video! Have little kids with pope-faces chasing people
around with rosaries. Put some life back into the Vatican. They haven't had
any real fun since the renaissance (an unfounded accusation of witchcraft
and heresy used to MEAN something, dammit!).
Those were the days, Edith!
