Guy Selvester at Shouts in the Piazza brilliantly captions this photo with.
Pssssst! Benedict, what did you get for number 36?
-Number 36? That answer was "Apostolic Succession".
Oh...I didn't get that.
Posted by Jeff Miller at November 24, 2006 2:16 PM | TrackBackJoe, I need a 6 letter word, second and fourth letters are 'E', clue is " doctrine at variance with orthodoxy".
Posted by st. Jimbob of the Apokalypse email at November 24, 2006 4:23 PMOkay Rowan, I think the word is "Orthodox". Your turn to draw up the Hangman game.
Posted by Sister Yesterday email at November 24, 2006 5:24 PMHmm, interesting ... the meeting was so exciting it even put the guys in the painting to sleep. ;-)
Posted by David Cheney email at November 24, 2006 6:01 PMBenedict: First one to get the answer wins.
Rowan: But is there really any such thing as an 'answer', and if there is, can we know it?

Posted by Ephrem email at November 24, 2006 11:27 PMDear Mom and Dad,
I'm having fun at Camp Grenada. Every Tuesday after lunch we have to write a letter home. I met a nice German boy called Joe. The food is mostly spaghetti and garlic bread, and all they give us for breakfast is coffee and hard rolls. I saw some cool paintings yesterday. I can't wait to come home. Love, Rowan

Posted by Fr. Jay Toborowsky email at November 25, 2006 12:45 PMOK, you both have 60 seconds to caption the painting behind you. Now, go!
Posted by Brian email at November 25, 2006 2:34 PMI just love it when they give us paper to write our homilies before the food comes out!

Posted by Rob email at November 25, 2006 3:33 PMSee my suggestion at the Lover of Futility blog!
(http://lover-of-futility.blogspot.com/)
Canterbury and Rome are currently neck and neck in their competition to translate Agnellus of Ravenna's Liber pontificalis ecclesiae Ravennatis into Old Church Slavonic, Bulgarian, Kurdish, Middle English, Gothic Umbrian, Medieval Swedish, and Hip Hop. Cantuar has a slight lead over Roma in his Hip Hop vocabulary given his daughter's urban slang competence, proving once again the benefits of optional celibacy.

Pope Benedict, what is your wager?
As General Williams signed the document of unconditional surrender he was hopeful that B16, like US Grant, would be generous and allow his men to keep their KJV Bibles & wifes to help with the spring planting.
Posted by inhocsig email at November 26, 2006 6:13 AMPlease make a list of your predecessors.
Now, make a list of your predecessors who were Catholic.
Now, make a list of your predecessors who were saints.
Who wins?
265 - 104
265 - 70
74- 22
And if necessary the tie-breaker
And how many of your predecessors have been called Pius?
12 - 0
Why waste jet fuel on the foregone conclusion?

Posted by irishgirl email at November 27, 2006 7:51 PMFascinating whose entries were divisive, whereas, to quote the same Guy Selvester in another post, the Pope himself is a bridge builder . . .
