Heavens Mattsz! We're not supposed to talk about the real facts of the case, that's strictly the expert's territory. I understand that Time magazine is aimed at those with a reading age of fifteen, so a relative assessment of most newspapers would indicate that they are aimed at folk who can barely read at all. Hence the pictures.
That's why we're so interested in shoes - talk to us about vice and corruption amongst our "betters" and we just get confused.
On the night that Albino Luciani was bumped off, the 33rd of his papacy, he had set in motion a clean-up of the Vatican Bank, a proposal to reverse the Church's ban on contraception, and he had made a list of over a hundred of the clergy who were members of P2, a secret group of Freemasons which they were banned from joining on pain of immediate excommunication, and the places (at the far ends of the Earth) to which they would be permanently dispatched.
Within the hallowed cloisters of Vatican City, these ideas did not receive universal approval.
John Paul's avowed intent to become the world's first poor Pope was particularly unwelcome, both with the Bank's chief, Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, a thug from the back streets of Cicero Illinois, and Roberto Calvi, who was later found hanging beneath Blackfrier's Bridge in London, his beautifully tailored pockets stuffed with rubble.
So it really is important that we stick with the shoes -
Nothing to see here folks -- move along now ... after all, you don't need to open your eyes to pray, do you?
