I think ???? I want to thank you for all the things you do for us. I’m filling up my file cabinets with ” the COPYING OF ALL THIS GREAT INFORMATION ” you share with us. I use this type of info to prove to friends that the Pope is just a Jesuit and the majority of my family have graduated from the local greatest high school in the New Orleans area. Quite frankly i use a standard joke when I visit my old my friends at St. Joseph’s Seminary which is a Benedictine institution—- I thought you left the Catholic church to join the Jesuits!!! It always draws a laugh.
The pope and I share the same age— his stamina is proof that the HOLY SPIRIT is at work in this old man. Pax tecum Jerald
