Gore Vidal is actually still alive I believe, he too was once an expatriot living in Italy, he now lives in California - but not on a farm. He happened to be the nemesis of that conservative fellow who died not too long ago - oh yeah - Buckley. Both were bitches. Vidal is a well known writer. He is also related somehow to Al Gore. Why do you ask? Does someone remind you of him...

Fr. Mark - I know you have no idea what this post is about - but let me just say this; I am so grateful you are humble and innocent. Your blog gives great glory to God and Our Lady.
Yes, well all that may be true but I have YOU for a friend, so who the hell needs doctors, professors, and writers. All they'd do is eat up my Colatura ...........

Show us your face and we shall be saved. "Each soul is the object of My special love. That is why I am so grateful to those who are resourceful and bringing back sinners to Me. Keep this in mind then. I gave My life for them in the most atrocious torture, for these poor beloved ones. A humble repentance, and they are already on My heart. So speak gently to them.
