I understood him to be a 'Black Pope', meaning one of the Jesuit tradition. Could you please explain this? Thank you!

Went to a Jevvy HS, and a group of us grew pretty close to Fr. S. He would allow us to have a beer in the Jesuit House from the keg once in a while if nobody else was around. Also wanted to go with us on a weekend once in a great while, and figured that if we were going to drink (of course we were) that he would be present. He also bought a bottle here and there for us, knowing that if not him, then somebody would. My father found out after graduation and was furious; I understood both sides.

I had to read that description twice, just for the innate truth in the simple beauty of your writing. Now I am ordering your book; you were born for this, brother.

Huh? It is the 4th or 5th wealthiest entity on the planet! The Catholic Church has always had scandals. This won't bring it down, but they certainly aren't going to gain membership anytime soon unless the Pope takes extremely drastic action to demonstrate how serious they are about ending and atoning for this messed up situation.

Haha, not angry, just curious. How do you know if you have scrubbed off the seasoning? And what is the downside to just scraping out and using a piece of chainmail to scrub spotless, then rinsing with hot water? BTW, I coat lightly with vegetable oil after it's dry about once per week.
