On a different note - Katherine Angulo of Raleigh diocese posted this in one of the online courses I am working on for Ministry Training Source.

I used (this youtube clip) when I have a parent/teen night. Part of the video allows the parent to see the new world the teens are in, and for teens, it makes them realized how difficult is for parents to follow up. Then I ask parents to try to compare that with the communication they have about faith in their homes.

What a fabulous use of secular spoof to make a really good point about evangelisation!

The Vatican has hailed the 'courage' of cardinals in electing Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina, South America's first pope.

New look to the Vatican website...

Bergoglio was known in Buenos Aires for keeping an extremely low profile. The son of railway worker and a houswife from the middle-class neighbourhood of Flores, after he became archibishop of the city in 1998 he routinely turned down invitations to eat at restaurants and only left the archbishopric for meals at small soup kitchens.

Welcome Pope Francis I.
I like this comment found on the Gardian Website:

An anecdote from his former spokesman Guillermo Marcó when Bergoglio was the archbishop of Buenos Aires. On February 21, 2001, Bergoglio was in Rome to be anointed cardinal. As they got ready to leave the house for priests where they were staying, Marcó asked how they should travel to the Vatican.

"Walking, of course," said Bergolgio. Marcó protested that Bergoglio was wearing his red robe. "Don't worry," Bergoglio said. "In Rome you could walk with a banana on your head an nobody would say anything."

When they arrived to the Holy see on foot, the Vatican guard was astounded. "The majority of cardinals arrived with large retinues," Marcó said. "Bergoglio arrived with just myself and a couple of relatives."
