His Holiness is enjoying another chance to spread the word of God and as expected will say Mass for an audience of some two million at the end of this sacred journey. (That's a 2 followed by six zeros for you Baptwits)
Who else can rally that number of the faithful to denounce Gay marriage, abortion and social-economic ills with such passion and authority?
Nobody.
Deal with it.

I am letting a little not-so-secret secret slip here as personal favour to those who would like to join the Church of Rome and to oenophiles everywhere. The public announcement will be made after the Spanish trip as to not upset the folks in the local vineyards but as I mentioned this news is known to quite a few folks... so here we go!
In an effort to reach an even broader element and thus further the endless good the Church is known and loved for, The Vatican have agreed to work with a famous French vintner to help promote the Catholic 'brand' in this day and age of modern communications while simultaneously settling a long simmering intellectual property dispute.
Taking a cue from folks in the sports and entertainment industries, the Holy See will soon be selling (all proceeds to charity as usual) a very fine wine of our own.
Starting this Fall, we will be bringing to market the first of a number of excellent wines that can be used for everything from fine dining to celebrating Mass itself!
Our first offering is the newly renamed (for English speakers) Chateaunuef du Pope.
After decades of using the French word for Pope, and using it without the expressed written consent of the Holy See, a compromise has been reached that allows both the Church, the vintner and the public to benefit from this multi-level marketing campaign to raise awareness of both the Church and her ties to wine drinking peoples of the world.
Anyone interested in pre-ordering a case or two can contact me for information or wait until October when it will be available at better wine and spirits emporiums across Europe and North America.
Note: This is an elegant red wine that does not have bubbles or feature a Duck on the label. It is not recommended as a companion for Kraft Dinner or anything deep-fried.
Bless you, my thirsty triskaidekaphobics,
