UPDATE – Soccer game for peace!
I am being kept in the loop about the Soccer Game for Peace that Pope Francis called for. This should take care of the whole war and terrorism problem.
I am told that the stadium is half empty.
“But Father! But Father!”, some of you are howling, “You are such a pessimist! It’s half full!”
Fine, it’s half full.
Now they are singing John Lennon’s “Imagine”, you know, the song about a world without any religion. Sweet. I suspect Pope Francis didn’t choose that song.
“Imagine there’s no heaven…
… no religion too…
and the world will live as one.”
Apparently the Pope has donated yet another Peace Tree to be planted for the event! I wonder if the Peace Tree in the Vatican Gardens when the Imam prayed for defeat of infidels (read: us) is worried about competition for the Nobel Prize.
UPDATE: The Peace Tree has been planted!
UPDATE: It sounds like there are lots of rainbow flags waving around…. hmmmm.
UPDATE: Diego Maradona is playing.
UPDATE: There’s a hashtag! #P4Peace (The first P is for “Partita”, Italian for match)
