Mr. 1000!
The 1000 post on this blog! I started this blog back in November of 2006. I slumped through 2010 through 2012 ( around 1 post a week), with my busiest years being 2007, 2009 and this year. Most of the early posts were links to other sites, but I posted this one on November 15, 2006. It's still relevant (unfortunately).
Pope Benedict XVI celebrated the Church's World Day of Migrants and Refugees this week. During a press conference after the event, Cardinal Retano Martino said that the building of a fence along the U.S./Mexico border was part of an "inhuman program."
Asked if the U.S.-Mexican fence was the wrong thing to do, Martino said: "Yes, that's exactly what it is."
OK, kids! It's time for a pop quiz!
WHAT IS THE LEONINE WALL?
Hint #1 It forms the western and southern boundary of a famous city state.
Hint # 2 It was built by order of Pope Leo IV in the year 852 to keep out marauding Muslims.
Hint #3 This is what it looks like from outer space.
Give up? OK, one more hint...Cardinal Martino has seen it MANY TIMES!
