Copyrighting the Pope

Apparently the Pope and all his Pomps and all his Works and all the attendant Trivia are now to be copyrighted.

Sue me!

I wonder who holds the copyright for the living Word of God? Might we see the Vatican making a play for this too? They certainly did their best to make sure Roman Catholics read only the "authorised" version of the bible in my day.

Theologian says resign!

ALL BISHOPS named in the Dublin diocesan report “should resign immediately from their current pastoral positions”, leading theologian Dr Vincent Twomey has said.

This would, of course, create a raft of vacancies in the relevant Bishoprics.

Neat.

In the event of their not resigning, perhaps Fr. Twomey could persuade his former mentor, Joseph Ratzinger, to do the needful.

Incidentally, Fr. Twomey seems to have abandoned his earlier Vatican-style website for a more modest text-based version, in keeping with the times that are in it.
