Thursday Questions


How does buying a bus ticket to Rome to see a dead pope make one a “Pilgrim”?

How does a man who headed a church that covered up the most widespread institutionalized incidence of child abuse earn talk of sainthood?

How long does someone need to be on display before you put them in the ground?
