"Rome is the home of ice cream and for generations, citizens and
tourists alike have forsaken dessert in a restaurant for the simple
pleasure of sitting outside with a takeaway cone. The last Pope, John
Paul II, used to have tubs of his favourite flavour, marron glace,
delivered to his summer residence.
"But if his successor, Pope Benedict XVI, wants to see how Polish
ice cream compares during a trip there this week, he is likely to be
disappointed. The southern town of Wadowice, where Pope John Paul II
was born, has banned the sale of takeaway ice creams and cream cakes
for the duration of the visit. "
So here are the Poles, excited that God's only valid representative on
Earth is coming to visit, but they have so little faith in this god's
ability to protect them that they ban ice cream!
Even the most devout believers don't really believe.
