Lightning Strikes Vatican After Pope's Announcement

Lightning struck the dome of St. Peter's not once, but twice within hours of the Pope's announcement of his abdication of the papacy.  I don't know what that means, but its looks pretty cool.

Pope Resigns

"The Holy Father brought the tender heart of a pastor, the incisive mind of a scholar and the confidence of a soul united with His God in all he did. His resignation is but another sign of his great care for the Church. We are sad that he will be resigning but grateful for his eight years of selfless leadership as successor of St. Peter." 

— Timothy Cardinal Dolan

RIP Koch

Former Mayor of New York, Ed Koch

"A Polish Jew in an Episcopal graveyard in a largely Dominican neighborhood; what could be more New York?"
