sucking up shamelessly to the Curia as Sean O'Malley gets his little red hat.
There is no love lost between Rome and the LDS when it comes to theology. Utah regards Rome as a corrupt dying oligarchy rife with child molesters, the Curia dismiss the LDS as a cult with an odd soft spot for polygamy.
But these days the RCC, the LDS, the Baptists etc all have a common political agenda at least in the USA and since catholics are the hot new general election constituency off the Viceroy goes to pay his respects to the Pope.
We can look forward to more of this as the GOP field coalesces in 2008. much praise for the church's anti abortion stance, utter silence on it's opposition to the electric chair.
The ability to pimp social issues with expert timing is a big part of the play for the catholic vote, witness Romney's wretched attempts to exempt the RCC the Commonwealth's adoption laws.
Meanwhile, according to Fox25 News, Kerry Healey is out of state as well, leaving Billy Galvin as acting Governor...unless of course, the Secretary of State gets a yen for NH scratch tickets then it's Tom Reilly.
I say before Kerry and Mitt get back just change the locks on the State House, it worked for Juan Peron after all.
