Not to be outdone by others, who have received various endorsements of their blogs, I felt compelled to reveal that I recently received an email from the Holy Father himself, with this attachment, showing himself reading my blog.

After all, he does need a reliable source of information and opinion on the state of the American Church. Although Dr. Navarro-Valls denies it, an inside Vatican source confirmed that the Holy Father said, upon reading my blog, "It is as it shall be."

Now that's quite an endorsement!
I was for sure the holy father would use a mac.
You're a gas!

Look - the Holy Father doesn't do product endorsements, all right? It's not so hard to understand. Icon was precipitate, although not venal, in publicizing the Holy Father's personal reaction to viewing the film; Dr. Navarro-Valls made it clear that the comment wasn't to be taken as an attributable blurb for the film. Peggy Noonan made more of it than was necessary, and now Rod Dreher is carrying on like something out of The Da Vinci Code. Anyone might be forgiven for expecting that a Catholic journalist would have some idea how the Vatican works.
