They also sang I`ll Never Find Another You, What Have They Done to the Rain and Georgy Girl. Sadly none of these, to me at least, offer any clue to the future direction of this papacy so I suspect that this has been a bit of a hermeneutical cul de sacFr Michael Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320336535138538635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-86573642014701649232013-03-20T22:22:36.773+00:002013-03-20T22:22:36.773+00:00Perhaps now that the Holy Father Emeritus has a li...Perhaps now that the Holy Father Emeritus has a little time on his hands ...IanWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802289720095323373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-30098752441249588992013-03-20T20:36:13.209+00:002013-03-20T20:36:13.209+00:00Optime Dr.B., Is not the problem summed up by New...<i>Optime</i> Dr.B., Is not the problem summed up by New Seekers, original Seekers, Blondie, Abba, Monteverdi or whatever?<br /><br />Up until a century ago what a pope did was pretty much laid and one didn't see much difference between them. Along came the twentieth century incumbents and so many saw it as their responsibility to stamp change and 'style' on their incumbencies. Now the variation between modern incumbents is such that it becomes a subject for commentary as soon as a new one gets the job. Good Pope Francis could do anything - almost literally anything - so we shall have to see what comes along. Personally, I am quite impressed by him - apart from his, hopefully former, view on the Falkland Islands.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-62237345857016207522013-03-20T10:49:17.303+00:002013-03-20T10:49:17.303+00:00Rubricarius, maye you have hit on the key to this ...Rubricarius, maye you have hit on the key to this papacy: the New Seekers may be setting the agenda. I must look up their other song titles.

Pope Francis may well have other important things to think about; maybe even more important than seeking to find a lost opera!ScepticalBelievernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-69252475846002696052013-03-19T19:55:01.284+00:002013-03-19T19:55:01.284+00:00Not opera but I wonder if good Pope Francis likes ...Not opera but I wonder if good Pope Francis likes that classic from 'The Seekers' - 'The Carnival is Over'?Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-13364623817806567282013-03-19T12:41:12.418+00:002013-03-19T12:41:12.418+00:00DidI read that all the Vatican archives are to be ...DidI read that all the Vatican archives are to be digitised and made available on the internet?
