The Pope yesterday beatified a 17th-century friar credited with halting a Muslim invasion of Europe and in the process gave the world cappuccino coffee.

Amen to that! Now if we can only find the nitwit who invented French Vanilla flavored cappuccino.

Or we can just call it "Freedom" Vanilla cappuccino.

Yay! I agree. So what as the history? How did one monk help to stem the tide?
