Two years ago today White Smoke rose from a chimney atop the
Sistine Chapel (link
here). One person’s Friday the Thirteenth today is another’s occasion to
celebrate the second anniversary of Pope Francis’ assumption of the papacy. I
note here also how the days of the week wander as time moves relentlessly on.
Two years ago this day was Wednesday. Next year it will be Sunday—what with the
leap year inserting a day and leaping over the Saturday that waits in vain.
Saturday will have its chance eventually—but not until 2021, the eighth
anniversary of Francis’ papacy, if he lives that long (namely 85). What does
one say on such days? Many happy returns?
