Well, it's midnight somewhere.

Its not that unusual for an RC church to have a midnight Mass at an hour earlier than Midnight. We had ours at 9pm.

I think at midnight the Pope wants to be tucked up in bed with some hot cocoa and a Lee Child novel.

I think the Pope needs to work on his sprawl.

Jesus should have warned him.

yeah but the Pope has always had it at midnight (hence the name midnight mass lol) which is why they made the announcement that it wouldn't be then. He could well be the first one for hundreds of years to have his midnight at ten.

That's true! Wasn't thinking about it in terms of Vatican traditions.
Pope Benedict is in his 80s, I suspect the change due to his busy schedule has more to do with maintaining his health.
Regardless, the headline Bill captured just cracks me up :lol:

Is he busy, or is he just old and tired?

I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be laughing at an 82 year old man that is the religious head of the Catholic church getting knocked down but "The Pope Tackle" is just a Damn funny thing to read :lol:
