Our prisons are full. What to do? I recommend “confession”. Criminals can confess their sins to someone suitable, a priest like me for instance. They can then be forgiven and set free. Simples.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, there’s a Big Jewish Festival coming up. Happy Nearly Shavuot Everybody!

Shavuot teaches us that all property is theft and we should all become anarchists.

No, no, no that’s not right. All property should be owned as a common means of production and we should all become communists.

No, that doesn’t sound right either. All property should be owned by a small number of landowners who should pass it down, tax free, through the generations, and thus support a feudal aristocracy.

Hmmm… I know Shavuot teaches us that all property can temporarily belong to individuals but it really still belongs to the Invisible Magic Friend. Yes, that’s much better.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, Pope Leo. Isn’t he brilliant. Pope Leo listens. I watched him when I was invited to his recent mass and he was definitely listening. He’s the direct successor of St Peter you know, appointed by the particularly invisible third of the Invisible Magic Friend.

The Big Book of Magic Stuff suggests some listening, before rather a lot of telling you what to do. Listening is so important. Listening and silence. God I love silence. Big, long stretches of just calming, soothing, silence.

Archbishop Tutu listened as well. Which just goes to show how wise Pope Leo is to listen.

So let us pray, that you will continue to listen to the wisdom of we Catholics on thought for the Day.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, there’s a new Pope. Isn’t he brilliant. His rise from humble cardinal to popeness just proves that the Invisible Magic Friend loves us, or at least, loves him.

So if you’re as ordinary and meaningless and irrelevant as Pope Leo was just a couple of weeks ago, just remember that the Invisible Magic Friend definitely exists and definitely loves you. Somebody has to. He could make you Pope any day now.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, somebody has won the F.A. Cup.

St Paul mentioned sport once. Yes, sport is THAT important.

The Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years and still never won the F.A. Cup. We know this is true because it says so in the Big Book of Magic Stuff, and the Big Book of Magic Stuff is right about everything.

Pope Leo waited all his life to win the F.A. cup, but had to settle for becoming Pope instead. And he’s brilliant.

Of course, somebody else lost the F.A. Cup.
