Recently, when he left his apartment at Domus Marta and went out into the hall, the Pope found a Swiss Guard standing at attention outside his door.
He asked him, “And what are you doing here? Were you awake all night?
“Yes,” the guard answered respectfully.
“Standing?”
“One of my colleagues gave me a break.”
“And you’re not tired?”
“It’s my duty Your Holiness, for Your safety.”
The Pope looked at him with kindness. He went back into his apartment and, after a few minutes, returned with a chair in his hand: “At least sit down and rest.”
Shocked, the Swiss Guard replied, “Forgive me, but I can’t! The rules don’t allow it.”
“The rules?”
“My captain, Your Holiness.”
“Oh, is that so? Well, I’m the Pope and I am asking you to sit down.”
So, between the rules and the Pope, the Swiss Guard, complete with his halberd, chose the chair. And then the Pope brought him some bread and jam for a snack, saying, “Buon appetito, brother.”
WHERE ARE ALL THE MEDIA: CNN, ABC, CBS, NBS, MSNBC, New York Times…. Only FOX NEWS remain active?
…….20 children are murdered in a school and media covers it constantly and government turns themselves inside out to make new laws to prevent it happening again…..
…….20 x 20 children are murdered in an abortion clinic, and ……. ?
Fox contributor Kirsten Powers said: “I think that there is just absolutely no excuse to not cover this. We know the media loves trials — if it bleeds, it leads.”
CNN excuses: “…was not covering the Gosnell trial because considered it a “local crime” story…. SO?….there are local crime stories all the time, like what happened in Connecticut AND every media outlet is pushing for gun control and asking every politician what they’re going to do about this…..
