Lithuania to whip-up Pope Tour

Officials in Lithuania are considering developing a Pope Tour. The tour would link together sites visited by the Pope (John Paul version, revision II) during his autumn 1993 visit to the Baltic country.

The route of the 'pilgrimage' would include The Gates of Dawn and the Dominican Church of the Holy Spirit in Vilnius and the Hill of Crosses in Šiauliai. And anything else that may have any chance of separating Catholics from their money.

We sincerely hope some enterprising organisation can pick up a used Popemobile and offer interesting tours.

Romanian sues God

According to Libby Purves of The Times, a convicted murderer in Romania has attempted to sue god for fraud and betrayal of trust after his prayers went unanswered. The court wouldn't have it, saying that God 'is not subject to law and does not have an address'. (The claimant had provided an address for God - the heavens - but failed to include the correct postcode.)
