But did he have to say cheese to the rat ?

Since you’re a Hot Rod, you can volunteer…

[Daphne – I think that’s actually the name of Franco’s mother’s bar in the village.]

His hobby is to keep birds in cages, and his work is to keep criminals out.

Legal hogwash verging on intrusion by the State in matters relating exclusively to the Catholic Church.

There had even been a traditional ‘power to veto’ granted to the Austro-Hungarian emperor regarding the election of the Roman Pontiff through a secret conclave.

It was blasted out of existence in 1903 when Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto was eventually elected Pope.

I would seek some legal luminary enlightening us poor mortals as to whether the existing Concordat between the Vatican and the Republic of Malta has actually done away with the effects of the 1838 law.

Possibly, after all he has taken up with those whose ‘thing’ is looking for loopholes. One wonders what the birds in the photo would do if they knew about the ultimate betrayal of their kind. How does one derive pleasure from having a creature stay for the simple reason that it is locked up?
