    What do you call the fabby vestment-with-train +Idris is wearing? I thought that the falda was for Popes only!

    Whatever you do, don’t show these pictures to the successful candidate in tomorrow’s election. It might give her/him ideas.

    Maybe its because I am from the US, but some of the pictures made me distinctly uncomfortable!No, I am not “low” church.
