I confess, when I first saw the headline “Pope Says Sundays for God, Not Sports, ” I thought: “At least he’s not running for reelection. But, that said, he has an important point, of course (for many, if not most, “prayer” is not the first thing thought of when they say “TGIF” on Friday, which is why it’s important for religious leaders to say such things). And, too, the Vatican didn’t release a “DON’T WATCH FOOTBALL ON SUNDAYS” press advisory either, which is the taste of the wire story. But my favorite part of the story is that “Reuters” chose to put it in their “oddly enough” category—as if this were news of the bizarre. If the pope announced that Martians have souls earlier today, then, okay, maybe. But, that people should pray more on Sundays? Come on.
