Until then, I could make both heads or tales (not both) of what the Popes wrote, but even that was only with sustained sweat (and a vat of quiet, followed by a tub of coffee). After hitting page 5 (again) in about 3 years, I finally gave the lovely little thing away to someone with a brain. It was like trying to read Cleveland Amory. I guess I basically understand only Jesuits and Franciscans, so I don't think I'll push my luck with this book, but maybe you could muse upon and reflect here on some more pages that you really liked, or that you think would benefit us in this season.<BR/><BR/>I must say you're the first person to mention Pius X to me without getting my hackles up. I'm thankful; I don't like not liking Popes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
