A friend dropped by our home today & mentioned Pope Benedict. Just thinking of him made me say "Gosh, I miss him so much & wish he was Pope today." ." — PolitiTweet.org

It's Sept. 10 & I am thinking of my cherished friend Bruce Herschensohn, whobwould've been 89 today. He died last December & I can't think of a day since in which I didn't think of him, or wish he was here to give me wise counsel. — PolitiTweet.org

Saw "Toni Stone" at Arena Stage & was speechless to learn she was 1st woman professional baseball player & did so in old Negro Leagues (Indianapolis Clowns), from which Hank Aaron moved to Major League. Didn't know any of this! — PolitiTweet.org

At our lay Catholic group, just about everyone was mystified that @Pontifex could believe we will just shrug & attend NO Masses if he LIMITS TLM Masses. As a fellow worshipper put it. "It doesn't work that way." — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

Just returned from lay Catholic group & feeling was abundantly clear: if @WashArchbishop does anything to limit Latin Masses we have in DC Churches, we will prepare for Mass in offices, living rooms, outdoors--whatever it takes, just as ancient martyrs worshipped in catacombs. — PolitiTweet.org

So sad to hear one of myball-time favorite actors, Jean Paul Belmondo, died at 88 after a 60-year career. In "Breathless," he says: "If you don't like the sea, if you don't like the countryside, if you don't like the city, well, go screw yourself!" Said in 1960, it hold up today. — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

@BishopAthanas1 I was told at Mass today that the reason all U.S. Bishops except 1 (Taylor of Little Rock) have kept our Latin Masses in place is by invoking Canon Act #87-if a ruling by Pope threatens well-being of some worshippers, then itvwon't be applied. True? — PolitiTweet.org

John Gizzi @johngizzi

I noticed a near full Latin Mass at St. Mary's today-a sign many of us (including me) took TLM for granted & sometimes passed on it to attend NO the night before & now realize we cld lose what we cherish so much & thus always show our support for the Mass for which martyrs died. — PolitiTweet.org
