Naw, I knew it wasn't you, Alexandr. He's only a Metropolitan - that's how I could tell biggrin

Tomassus,

Thanks for the article. Very interesting reading. I'm not usually a fan of Sandro Magister, but I liked this piece.

Many years,

Neil

Neil,

May I ask why you don't usually like Sandro Magister? Just curious. My impression is, he at least have very good Vaticanista informants!
