With an anti-Pope and a living former Pope around, it allows us to answer the age old question: If a Pope and an anti-Pope touch, will they annihilate each other? “Annihilate” is a strong word, but they will both feel worn out afterwards, and maybe a little sore. ---

Should we tell her? 😃 Wait till they bring back prayer in public schools. DeLemus & Santorum can settle which branch of Xtianity has the most efficacious prayer to use in the classroom with swords on the battlefield. Nothing like dying for the faith, eh? ---
