WASHINGTON (RNS) Pope Francis has been working nonstop since his election more than a year ago...and his advisers are hoping that he will take a break this summer.

**advisers are hoping that he will take a break**

I’ll bet you there are quite a few FRoman Catholics hoping the same thing!

Yeah, let Benedict take over...
...for a good long break.

VERY LONG.

[Salvation]

On this feast of Pentecost!

[knarf]

Abraham was advised by HIS people to take a break, get some deacons to do the work God had called Abraham to do (and he was doin' OK .. but men thought he wasn't)

As I recall .. THAT didn't turn out too well.

[Salvey]

Gosh, I sure hope he doesn’t work himself to death.

Personally, it seems the Vatican Translation Office is under more stress then the pope. Perhaps if he vacations they will recover...?

[Rich21IE]

Ha, ha! Why do I have a feeling that the “staff” are having a hard time keeping up the pace?

Now, there's a man who's earned some time on the links..............

Is there precedence for this? Where is a sitting Pope to go for a vacation? Could he temporarily lay down the duties and the schedules of his office, handing them over to a team of his assistants? He may be too elderly to ski, but he might like fly fishing or hunting by the aid of a falcon.

New Smoke on the horizon??????

Isn’t Ben living in the vacation hooch?

Does the Pope have a handicap?

[Gamecock]

**Does the Pope have a handicap?**

Well, according to a lot of FRoman Catholics....

Oh, you mean a golf handicap!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He ought to just give his jawbone a rest. That’s the only thing that’s working 24//7.

You mean the unofficial Internet Magisterium (UIM) "interpreting" the Interpreter.
