Castro and the Pope: A match made in Heaven?

According to the Washington Post Cuban President Raul Castro considers Pope Francis so impressive that he may return to the Church.  This would be an impressive achievement by the Pontiff; the conversion of a godless heathen.  Castro's quote in the Post however is not so hopeful, "If the Pope continues this way, I will go back to praying and go back to the Church and I am not joking."  This suggests that it is the Pope's materialist leftist leanings that are impressing Castro rather than his preaching of the Ultimate Truth and Good News.

I hope to be proven wrong on this one and that the Pope indeed affects a conversion and repentance.

St Michael pray for us.

Gluten free art- everything that's wrong in the world.

So for all of those fearing that they'll be hit up by a Jimmy Kimmel vox pop this is gluten.  Gluten (from Latin gluten, "glue") is a protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture.  

It adds the yumminess to bread, pizza, pasta, beer.  Some people, and I feel sorry for them, cannot eat gluten or it makes them ill.  These people have coeliac disease.  There is a test for coeliac disease.  If you suspect that you have coeliac disease see your doctor and book a test. 

If you don't have coeliac disease then you're just being a look-at-me narcissist (and yes I know that's a tautology) and an illustration of everything that is wrong in the world today.  Just like this website.
