ROME 26/5– Day 45: Fr. Z gives you the bird

5:55 20:19

Today one recites the Supplica to Our Lady of Pompeii

It is the 1st Anniversary of the election of Leo XIV.

Two 7th century Popes have their Feast today, Boniface IV (+615) and Benedict II (+685)

A couple of amusing things and something not so amusing.

I have to scratch my head at this and look around to see if Malachi Martin is standing behind me.  See anything strange?

You all know that in January we celebrate the Feast of the Ass.  Today, apparently, is World Donkey Day.  Really.  So many celebrations at once!

Oh yes… a friend sent this screenshot.  It seems someone thinks that Mary is “Mediatrix”.

Well, maybe news hasn’t reached them yet.  Donkeys are kinda slow.

Today on my way to church I ran into the lady with the cockatoo. When I had my place across from the English College and above the infamous Bar Peru, each day I could hear when they came by for a constitutional. Today, we met in front of S.M. Monserrato.

She was not gesturing because she didn’t want photos.  She was quite engaged and friendly.

So, there. Now you have the bird.

Black to move. What to do?

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
