ReplyDeleteI was prompted to write this because of a story on this morning's yahoo! news about an archbishop who was trying to report the truth was suddenly transferred from the Vatican to Washington D C as an ambassador because he was telling of the extent of the problems in the Vatican and had exposed two years of corruption and even produced letters or documents on a TV programme and even wrote a letter of complaint to his boss. A persona non grata in Rome you might say. I wonder what gentle Jesus meek and mild would make of all the goings on in his name?
