The Fisherman's Ring means you have a butler?

nanaej I have no doubt that the Pope does have a PA but I bet he doesn't look after the wine (and silver).

Blessed are the poor for they shall inherit the Earth …
or maybe it's just lower case earth in the form of a 6-foot deep hole.

I think the whole panoply of the Catholic church is as far removed from the teachings of that very simple person, Jesus, as it is possible to be. It surrounds itself with pomp and circumstance all paid for by their congregation, and jealously hoarded at the expense of the poor who need it.

I've been wondering where Paul Burrell disappeared to.

I am sure he has a load of servants! If the butler was called a PA would it be different? [hm]

Maybe our negative reaction to this news is because of the rather seedy conotations in Britain of the phrase "what the butler saw".

The poor old thing needs propping up whereever he goes, methinks he has a lot more help than just a butler!
