Don't tell me I'm the only one up watching

[Guest Eremite]

I missed it.

I really wanted to watch it too. Why do they have to be on so early. I need my beauty sleep. I hope EWTN replays it.

I haven't seen it, but I read that his old coat of arms had a bear on it, recalling the story of some Saint who came across a bear who ate his writings or something, and then the Saint scolded the bear, and the bear carried him to where he was going. Ratzinger considered himself the bear, apparantly. He may keep the same one.

Of course I was up.

Well, I've heard from reputable sources (namely, Archbishop Burke's homily last night at the Mass for the Holy Father) that this bear would be on the papal coat of arms. I could have misheard, but I'm pretty sure it'll be there.
