Present and checking in! :)

I can't get enough of this glorious day...
I know a new day has dawned, but until I
finally sleep, I don't want this one to end.

King Vanity has been a wild man with joy all day.

I am glad he is finally getting some rest.

He does not take food by mouth but had me make him a root beer float to taste as part as his celebrating the good news.

Good thing it was shower day as he really worked up a sweat with the Cerebral Palsy flailing to the max due to his joy over the news that the new Holy Father is NOT going to bend one bit.

Humanists and heathens hate this Pope. Great stuff, this will be a great Pope for the Church.

I am impressed at his enemies. I love his writings. He's been one of my heros of the faith for awhile.

Anyone happen to know why he is celebrating his first mass in the Sistine instead of St Peter's? Just to cut down on the number of people? Or to allow more people more time to visit John Paul II's vault?

I'm typically a night owl. Although with the excitement of witnessing history, I've been trying not to miss much with regards to the Conclave and now the installment of Pope Benedict XVI.

Yes, on abc there was an interesting conversation between Kopel and a priest.
Kopel stated that some Catholics (who must be humanists on the side) would have problems with his conservatism and feels he closes down lots of questions people would like to discuss regarding the church.

The priest answered back, "Questions can be good, but this Pope is a expert in these areas and the Church has contemplated over decades many of these questions already that you mention. There is no need to keep questions out there forever just to have them out there. Sometimes the answer is NO, you can't do that."
