ANOTHER AFRICAN MASS BUT THIS ONE IN WAR TORN CENTRAL AFRICA
Pray for the safety of the Holy Father. This is the most dangerous leg of his pilgrimage, to an active war zone. Please note the sobriety of this African Mass indoors at the Cathedral with the Mass in French:
Actually the Mass was in Latin and French. Wonderful to hear everyone singing the Credo, Sanctus and Agnus Dei in Latin. I remember a former missionary priest recalling a vast congregation who spoke different tribal languages all joining together to sing the Gloria from Mass VIII - a great sign of unity and Catholicity.
RE: African poverty. I guess US blacks did not buy enough dashikis...wait, those are made in Taiwan. LOL! Oh, well, maybe we didn't buy enough shrunken heads or schedule enough lion hunts. Gee....

The Pope's latest: The West is to blame for African poverty. The world is near suicide with global warming.
In other news...Aliens from the planet Zort will land tomorrow and completely destroy the earth. Blacks and Chicanos will be hit the hardest.
