Am I the only person to be disturbed and bewildered that the organisers of the Catholic event World Youth Day are flying the decomposing body of a saint-in-waiting, who died in 1925, from Turin to Sydney specifically for the event? I quote, "While the logistics of the complex journey are still to be finalised, it will be the first time Blessed Pier Giorgio has been moved from Turin since his death in July, 1925." I think that is because it usual to leave people buried....
In the article Bishop Anthony Fisher, drooling into traditionally ominous territory for a man of the cloth, can barely contain his fervent appreciation for the "youthful good looks, charm" and "fun loving nature" of Pier claiming such qualities make him the "perfect inspiration for young people." I presume the organisers do not expect Pier to display any of these traits downunder in his role as World Youth Day patron.
"Gosh he looks awfully jet-lagged..."
Another of the World Youth Day patrons is Blessed Peter To Rot. If only they would let poor Blessed Pier do just that...
