It's amazing how much barer the liturgy of the Office feels without the "gloria Patri" (the "glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit" normally used to end psalms and canticles). Everything seems to dangle, rather bleakly, and it seems very sombre.

KFC have introduced a fish product for Lent, and are seeking a product endorsement from the Pope.

S. Peter recommends the fish?

I'm not sure what the appropriate response to this, other than I will eat a surplice† if Benedict goes for it... I mean, as a good German, if he's going to endorse fishy fast-food joints, it surely ought to be Nordsee?

† Easier to find than mitres, especially in my neck of the woods
