Love the Father Brown series that is being rerun at the moment, the Catholic bit, or the moral of the story at the end makes me remember I've been 'excommunicated' ..
Dear Tom, Visiting the exhibition "Life after Luther - The History of the German Vicarage" I was really astonished to learn that people only believe that Martin Luther abolished the practice of selling 'tickets of indulgence' - that happened much later. By the way: instead of praying for your soul - shall I send you a couple of those tickets?? To know you are already forgiven - so very comforting.
I'll say one in the morning for you

DeleteI should have added that I thought this the most perfect 'cop-out'.

DeleteSometimes a simple précis is appropriate

ReplyDeleteThat's taken for granted, isn't it?
DeleteWe'll know if it works or not after the football results..
