By the way

I agree with Catpants about the sadness over the death of the Pope. While not ever having taken the classes necessary for conversion to Catholisicm, I always consider myself an rish catholic, and I think my favorite times in the church are those I spent at mass. Beyond all that, there is also the fact that John Paul II has been the pope since a long before I was born. So something is changing that has been the same what seems like forever.

I raised my glass Saturday night to the late Pope, not that I think that's what the church had in mind.
