Flemish Blogger, Weird
Hey, I've gotta tell you guys, I'm in Brugge, Belgium right now, and all the Blogger controls are in Flemish. Like, I have the choice, for each blog post, of "Bewerken" or "Weergeven" -- what's a guy to do? Somehow Blogger can see where I am, and adjusts. Google does the same thing, but I think I know how to get back to the American Google... at least I figured it out once in the past, when I was in England.
Luckily Flemish, which is really Dutch, is about halfway between English and German, which I studied when I was young. So I think I know what these things mean sometimes, at least.

"Pope Benedict XVI began his first trip to Latin America Wednesday by saying that he agrees with bishops who said Catholic politicians in Mexico had excommunicated themselves by legalizing abortion in that nation’s capital.
Benedict, spoke strongly against abortion during his first speech in Brazil. Speaking in Portuguese, he said he’s certain that the bishops will reinforce “the promotion of respect for life from the moment of conception until natural death as an integral requirement of human nature.”"
"SAO PAULO, May 8 -- When Pope Benedict XVI lands here Wednesday for his first visit to Latin America since becoming pontiff, he will set foot in a region considered by many here to be the heart of his church, home to nearly half the world's Roman Catholics.
A clear challenge awaits him: to persuade them to stay true to a church that is losing thousands of adherents throughout the region every day."

Yes, to evangelical and pentecostal churches.
