In reply to ken il malti. The Pope has chosen the name of Francesco as a sign of humbleness. Surely not a trait of Frankie Tabone.

In reply to Mandy B. Mandy B, it WAS intended as satire by the author, Alouette III, as most of his comments are. But of course any form of ego-booster is taken very seriously by our national hero, thus Alouette's comment was taken up to its full glory as a blog post for the world to admire the pope-naming imbecile.

In reply to Mandy B. It wasn't he who wrote the poem. His poems usually involve almonds. It was written by Alouette III who is a frequent visitor to Franco's blog.
