I INITIALLY TYPED THE HEADING AS "LET THE GOD TIMES ROLL" BUT FORTUNATELY SPOTTED THE ERROR AND CHANGED IT.
Sorry about the capitals - I forgot to change the setting before typing the above and can't be stuffed retyping.
Saying "Let the god times roll", after yesterday's announcement from the Vatican, would be an affront to the LGBT community. I'm not part of that community - not that there's anything wrong with that according to SEINFELD
The announcement of course was this:
On Monday, Pope Francis approved the response by the CDF, saying it was "not intended to be a form of unjust discrimination, but rather a reminder of the truth of the liturgical rite".
Some parishes in recent months, including in Germany and the US, have started giving blessings to people in same-sex relationships as a way to welcome gay Catholics to the church, Reuters news agency reported.
The CDF's response was in answer to the question posed to it: "Does the Church have the power to give the blessing to unions of persons of the same sex?". It replied: "Negative".
The CDF noted that marriage between a man and a woman is sacrament and therefore blessings cannot be extended to same-sex couples.
Quite strange really coming from a group of guys who sit around wearing dresses.
Anyway - back to let the good times roll.
Of course I'm referring to that outstanding sailing performance by Team New Zealand yesterday turning a 4 minute deficit into a 4 minute victory. Whatever happens today and for the rest of the cup challenge won't take away any gloss for what must be the sporting event of the century so far.
Oh, and the tennis this morning in ideal conditions followed by a swim and long and leisurely dip in the 'millpond' bay was good too.

When I first read your post I thought you wrote glasses not dresses.
Glad you had a swim. Global warming has some benefits.
I was watching "The Good Doctor" the other night when a patient referred to himself as female. Saun lifted the blankets and said "But you have a penis!".
I think the Catholic church might be a good place for you Rob. Though they say that a very large number of clergy at the Vatican have male lovers.
The Pope says that it's a sin but if they confess after each, ahem, act, then they can still go to heaven can't they Robert?
Being priests they should be able to do that confession sacrament for each other whenever needed.
