I wonder if there is one of those foot x-ray machines were used to love

as children. Now I'm talking back in the 40's when I loved to see my feet in the shoes I was trying on.

I'm not sure when those were phased out, but I don't recall my children using them in the late 60's, when we bought their Stride-Rites, and they got Potsy balloon, one of which invariably drifted out of the car before we got home, causing consternation all around.

Of course, my kids wore high-top shoes the first year, as did I, perhaps until my second or third year.

No one needs 250 rooms. What will they be-

walk-in closets for a harem?

I don't feel any need to combat such arguments. It's merely an opinion, and

I just move on.
I choose to believe what I want, and am comfortable enough that my choices are the right ones for me.

Others may prefer vanilla or caramel. while I prefer rum raisin.

Besides, I don't care to give the time and energy to shadow-box with people on the internet.
I've got too many other people to see and places to go (figuratively).

My answer likely doesn't help you, Justin, but there it is. Sorry

I'm sure you're correct re activities there. Perhaps the Turks

could just drive Papa Francis up to that smaller red-roofed building (lower right) and pretend that's all there is to the Presidential quarters.
He could sign the book and make a quick exit.

Ironic - Bishops back Obama while Democrats run away from the President.

Also wondering - Can the bishops deliver votes if Obama delvers for them?

(They haven't done much vote-delivering for Dems in recent years.)
(Edited to add- last line is tongue in cheek.)

What goes on in all those rooms? Are they offices, bedrooms, bathrooms,

meeting rooms, social halls?
I can't imagine the what and why.

Canon 1137 of the Code of Canon Law.

As stated above, Google is replete with this information.
This is not new or recent news.

Now that explicit notice has been provided, I leave the commenter to inform him/her self.

Short answer - Civil law.

Google is your friend.

The children of annulled marriages never were bastards.

One should inform oneself before commenting on that which he/she doesn't know.
