I hope "Eggs" has a long and substantive reign as Holy Father.

How else can you enter a kitchen?
You meant "kitten" right?
Yep, Yayi, even showed the cat jumping up to pull on the door handle.
Yay, that's great!

I don't know why I'm so hung up on this topic. I'm not even Roman Catholic.
Please follow this link to a sweet article about the new Pope and his love of cats: http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansas...d/11454967.htm
Here's one part:
"I went with him once," said Konrad Baumgartner, the head of the theology department at Regensburg University. "Afterwards, he went into the old cemetery behind the church.
"It was full of cats, and when he went out, they all ran to him. They knew him and loved him. He stood there, petting some and talking to them, for quite a long time. He visited the cats whenever he visited the church. His love for cats is quite famous."
And another part:
"Oh, cats," she said. " He loves them."
She pointed up a staircase to a wall full of painted plates, each depicting a different cat. The brothers collected the plates together, she said.
"When we were on vacation, a cat, a little kitten, would come by, and he'd be giddy, almost giggling with joy," she said." Cats love him; they always go to him straight away. And he loves them back."

Ermm, I think you should know that, that title is using a short form. "Cat" does not mean

Of course, you're right. Sometimes my brain does not fully engage: An Introduction to the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I'm sure that's the complete title. I'll try and fixate on something else for awhile!Originally Posted by bumpy

Good for him! I like him because of this!
I didn't notice that anyone had posted this- but you can invite the Pope to this website. You can email him! [email protected]
I was in Rome this week - right near the Vatican too, but I didn't see any cats
The Italians have apparently nicknamed the new pope Paparatzi (it's like the Italian word for the journalists who follow famous people everywhere)
