I disagree with some significant parts of what the Pope taught, to the point of feeling almost personally oppressed -- BUT I also agree 100% with other things he taught, particularly his advocacy for peace. Right now, when peace seems impossible to achieve almost everywhere -- in the Middle East, between the US and other countries, and even between Americans -- a bright light has gone out.

Tep, you and I are as one on this.

Sorry, but I can't join in with the Pope love, what with being part of the Ideology of Evil and all. But I will wish him many interesting conversations with Biblical figures now that he's passed on.

Like Judas Iscariot, for example.

I can't say that I loved the Pope, but I admired his dedication to peace. He was an imperfect human in a daunting role -- who would want to be God's representative on earth? -- and, by my judgment, failed in a lot of areas. But not all. Definitely not all.

I'm in the same corner regarding the pope, as Teppy and Plei.

sumi, I was waiting for you all day, re Joan of Arcadia. I even stalked hunted down your lj, but there was no JoA, there. I am still traumatized .

I was going to say something last night but it felt inappropriate in the face of Sean's trauma re: his dead car.

I am eating chocolate and I have pretty flowers in my hair.

Hello.

Hi Rio.

I didn't think you were fond of chocolate.

I didn't use to be. I trained myself to like it. Good memory!

I had pizza! Yay pizza.

I saw you on TV again, Jesse!
