Are Becciu’s homilies as disjointed, inconsistent, incoherent, and in general as bad as his argumentation and unstructured logic woven into his “appeal”? I hope not else I would be calling the parish office and asking for the presider’s schedule 🤦‍♂️

Great work as always Ed.

> “But,” Becciu concluded, “the truth, according to a saying attributed to Saint Augustine, is like a lion and will defend itself.”

"Call it Twain, if it is pithy;

if it's highbrow, it was Disraeli;

when preaching, replace these

with Teresa or Augustine, please" - Groucho Marx[1]

[1] not actually Groucho Marx but he's not around to argue with me

Is Becciu a worldly adult swollen with pride or an overheated infant robbed of his lollipop? Apparently, he has a three-word vocabulary: me, myself, and I.

Of a particular generation of Italian that even Italy has been trying to get rid of in bureaucratic institutions for 3 decades.
