Angry Birds at the Vatican

On Sunday, during his Angelus, Pope Francis prayed for peace in the Ukraine. He and two children then released two doves over St. Peter’s square in a symbolic gesture for peace. The two doves were immediately and quite ferociously attacked by a seagull and a crow. The peace doves managed to escape their attackers and fly away. This is not the first time a dove released from the window of the Vatican has met with such an assault. There was a seagull attack on a peace dove released from the window of the Vatican almost exactly a year ago. January is the traditional month when peace is promoted by the Vatican.

Paranoia strikes deep…Into your life it will creep…It starts when you're always afraid… Step out of line, the men come and take you away In many traditionalist blogs there seems to be a decided point of view, perspective, dare I say out and out bias fostering a certain fear and mistrus...

There's a light A certain kind of light That never shone on me I want my life to be  Lived with you Lived with you There's a way everybody say To do each and every little thing But what does it bring If I ain't got you,  Ain't got you? You don't know what it's like, baby You don't know what it's like To love somebody To love somebody The way I love you (Bee Gees - 1967)  Last week I was watching America's Got Talent. Actually, I wasn't really watching it. I just had the TV on while I was working on my computer. I did happen to catch the very last act though. Hego t the golden buzzer from Simon Cowell.  The name of the performer was Michael Ketterer and the song he sang was "To Love Somebody". He dedicated his performance to his children. "To Love Somebody" is a song written by Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees. Supposedly they wrote it for Otis Redding but he died before he...
