It's a priest (Father Riccardo Seppia) in the diocese of the adviser (Archbishop Angelo Bascagno) who was arrested, not the adviser himself. Seppia hadn't been doing any advising, and Bascagno (as far as we know) hadn't been engaging in pedophilia.<br /><br />Really need to fix this one, 'Stan.<br /><br />--Swift LorisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-11934706544300534252011-08-02T18:37:45.616-05:002011-08-02T18:37:45.616-05:00I drive the 401 nearly every day.I drive the 401 nearly every day.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706917765495788760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-25386982533335710772011-08-01T16:10:06.455-05:002011-08-01T16:10:06.455-05:00Pastry mitosis.

NOT a reputable source.<br /><br />Interesting about "I". Makes me wonder about how/when all-caps latin script evolved upper and lower cases. Did it happen before it was applied to european alphabets? German seems to stand out in using capitals for all nouns; most of the latin-based orthographies are pretty consistent in their usage. Odd we don't have some offshoot written in all-caps. Lucky, or everyone would think they were shouting all the time.Abbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03750772498972381178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-58572261239423779232011-07-31T23:20:04.700-05:002011-07-31T23:20:04.700-05:00Marlys, if they are smaller than Monarchs and brig...Marlys, if they are smaller than Monarchs and bright yellow, they are probably "Sulphurs."

This is new, I think--friends have mentioned them, too: that they're as plentiful as monarchs used to be, tho the orange and black butterflies are more plentiful this year too.<br />What are the yellow ones, do you know?<br />☺Marlys Hesch Sebaskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12228387908550622919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-65473787906254481992011-07-31T14:30:23.437-05:002011-07-31T14:30:23.437-05:00Re: "English is the only major language to ca...Re: "English is the only major language to capitalize the first-person singular pronoun "I.""<br /><br />In German, the "I" (ich) is lowercase, but "Du/Sie" (informal/formal "you") is uppercase - how very politeDirachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15346168931079493942noreply@blogger.com
