Atheist gifts pontifical school in will |
It's refreshing to know that not all atheists are such bitter, closed-minded
people. Ms. Fallaci must have been a very wise woman.

ROME - An Italian journalist and self-described atheist who died last month
has left most of her books and notes to a pontifical university in Rome
because of her admiration for
Oriana Fallaci had described the pontiff as an ally in her campaign to rally
Christians in Europe against what she saw as a Muslim crusade against the
West. As she battled breast cancer last year, she had a private audience
with Benedict, who was elected only a few months earlier, at the papal
summer residence in Castel Gandolfo.
In one of her final interviews, Fallaci told The Wall Street Journal: "I am
an atheist, and if an atheist and a pope think the same things, there must
be something true."

Books & notes, eh? Didn't your dead jew-on-a-stick say you couldn't
"save" people from their tribulations unless you went among them? Gosh,
Jonny. What a stretch this one was...you're still a moron.

She left them books! Perhaps she was hoping to open some minds. I don't
imagine they were all made available to the students, without approval:
You can't risk too much education in a religious university.
