As according to Zoomie:

"I don't want to waste this chance by waffling on about Karol's worldly achievements. There will be many journalists and reporters and historians dissecting his role in the downfall of Communism and lots of people will assess his prodigious gifts. Maybe Irish blogland's philosopher-in-hiding, Neuro will tell us about his dramatic and moral philosophical works."

No, I won't be doing that. I studied Karol Wojtyla in college - his dramas, his philosophy and his personal biography, and I developed a deep admiration for the man just in time before he popped his clogs. However, I won't be regaling you all with tales of his wonder because it is meaningless now. He stood up for what he believed was right and, although we wouldn't have seen eye to all on all issues theological, he exceeded all expectations of a single human person, achieving more than anyone I can think of in the last hundred years, bar maybe Martin Luther King.

Now. My brain-dead, hackneyed and clichéd generalities aside, onto the specifics.

According to the Gerry Ryan radio show this morning, the pope's face appeared on a cape in a hairdresser's in Nenagh to a minister of the eucharist who was having her roots done.

I believe that the fun starts here. What I want to know is - what will happen to the pope's blog? Screw the future of the church - where will I get my internet spiritual guidance now?
