The pope is three blocks down from our apartment right now hosting an ecumenical revival. Catholics are swarming the Upper East Side.
I saw a group of twentysomething priests on the way home today. First thought in my head was "jeez man, SO sorry you'll never have sex." Perhaps a bit basal of me, but hey, that's what comes to mind with such an unnatural sort of abstinence.
Yay for the new and everlasting covenant of marriage!

Can you get a picture of the pope-mobile?!
funny, I was kind of thinking the same thing last night. The don't really have a family, no wife, no kids, are they lonely? The pope's life must be so much different than our prophets-- what does he do in the evening when he isn't doing pope stuff (does he ever rest)? I always imagined President Hinckley surrounded by his family, laughing and playing games. I just can't imagine Benedict and with a group of Cardinals playing Scrabble on a Tuesday night.
The whole "celibate" thing was a typo when some medeival monk was copying the Bible. The word was "celebrate."
