[Revolting cat!]

Here's an interesting tidbit I've just learned. Remember the bird sitting on the chimney of the Sistine Chapel during the conclave? Evidently, there have been a lot of comments about it, especially in the Argentine media. Well, it turns out the bird was of the silver seagull species, Latin name... Larus argentatus! ('argentum' = 'silver' in Latin.)

Amazing fact. I wonder if anyone caught it ahead of the white smoke.

Very interesting.

There was an article about Pope Benedict XVI that someone posted here recently. I think it was a priest who wrote it.

He said that during B16’s first Mass in the square, he himself witnessed a raven fly over the square. Then he went on to say that the raven is associated with St. Benedict.
