Dear Log,
«Mutilating a corpse and discreetly packing a piece in your luggage before boarding a plane is the sort of thing that gets people arrested. But not if you are the Pope. »So? Can't we all celebrate our proud vodoun heritage?
The practice has long been criticised as a medieval hangover. In a 1520 pamphlet Martin Luther mocked the collection of the archbishop of Mainz, Germany, for including "three flames of the bush of Moses on Mount Sinai" and "two feathers and an egg from the Holy Ghost".
I'm not being anti-religious here with my enjoyment of this quote. On the contrary, I stand firmly with Martin Luther.
