This is worth a read.  At the UK’s Catholic Herald, an article about how Francis wrote to the Cardinals telling them to tighten the belt and work for zero deficit.  They are going to have to resort to “seek external resources to cover operating costs” and then those who do well should “contribute to cover the general deficit”.   Also, he has urged “mutual collaboration and synergies”.   There’s a really interesting point at the end of the article about a “Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican”.  Check it out.

Something popped across my screen that I did  four years ago, namely, my reading of Shakespeare’s Sonnet 44, from my daily Twitter series of all of the Bard’s Sonnets. Yup, I did them all, 154.  I threw in some other poets too, for variety, like GK Chesterton, and  That was a fun project. I was challenged my one of you readers to do it because Patrick Stewart was doing it during COVID Theater.
