The current Pope is more likely to be stupid than evil. Mundabor thinks it might be divine punishment on an unfaithful church.

And he could be right. However, I do not think it is only our Roman friends who have been unfaithful.

I have only spent a few days in Japan, and that was Osaka. However, the overwhelming impression was that the entire culture was from a completely different base — and I’m quite comfortable in Singapore and Hong Kong.

“Now, Butterfly Flower, some years ago, got into a buchaton of fights
with other members of the Ladysphere. While she was ill.[…]”

Well, not intentionally. I just wasn’t liked (by certain folks on the blogosphere) for dating a Protestant man. But I’m a happily married Protestant now, and the new Pope is, dare I say, Protestant-y. (Not trying to sound like a troll, but he’s the sort-of Pope that makes Trad-Catholics quake in their boots) God can have a funny sense of humor sometimes.

I’m emotionally capable of handling the hatemail. I’m just, well, baffled by it. I’m quite superstitious so the idea of people directly wishing me ill, makes me wanna light candles. Throw salt. Light more candles. Scare off their negative energy.

Perhaps I just spend to much time on the Japanese websphere. You never get hatemail from Japanese people. Just hard to decipher possible passive-aggressive. They may or may not be furious at you, but they still admire your recipes. Or not, that might be a backhanded compliment. Or maybe they aren’t mad at all. The vagueness is infuriating, yet oddly relieving.
