Understood. Actually, I think it would be interesting to converse with Jorge Mario Bergoglio for an hour or ten...Because I tolerate the fact that my wife is interested in such things, despite my decade long abanodonment of that perspective of the world.
Inspite of my apostacy, cant really get around the fact that there is some pretty impressive stuff there. The Pieta is an amazing sculpture, the Sistine Chapel would be pretty impressive if it wasn't for the goddamned crowds.
My favorite part though, was in the Sistine Chapel, teh guard, using a PA, to tell the crowds
Silencio!!!! Repectfull Silence!!!!!
Over and over again. I felt like it was a pretty good alegory on why the Catholic church fails to connect with the wider world on an everyday level.
Shit Tim, that really sucks.![]()
