Lombardi is your basic Italian leftist who for some reason is so heavily protected by the Italians in the Curia he can’t be fired.

Vicarius Christi is powerless against the Italians. Imagine that. But then, God's "Chosen People" are the Italians.

Lately the Angel of Peace has given His Blessing to the Palestinians.

Maybe the Italians will stop him? Or the gun totin' Catholics on FR? Probably not. It must be for the greater good: "peace and safety".

Well, if you know any Italians, they clearly believe they’re the “Chosen People.”

But they live in a dysfunctional country where there hasn’t been a spark of glory since the fall of the Roman Empire (with a brief artistic resurgence during the Renaissance) and they are mostly on government relief, unless, of course, they’re Muslims living on the government dole while planning on going off to attack the Great Satan.

Chosen by whom?
