A FAVOR FOR ELIZABETH | 2005-10-26
As I said below, though she vehemently denies it, Elizabeth is Catholic because the Pope is a bachelor. I therefore took the initiative and wrote the Pope about this.
I said that I would like to set Elizabeth up for a date with His Holiness, but he if he is busy maybe he could fix her up with one of Cardinals.
The response to my letter from the Vatican Curia was something I can only describe as unfriendly.
Further, it was badly written. I found their use of the word "excommunication" tiresomely repetitious.
Don't worry about it, Elizabeth. I hear that Russian Orthodoxy is a great alternative.
This should not make other readers of Bob's Blog jealous.
I stand ready to do the same sort of thing for the rest of you.
