NEXT BEST THING TO SELLING INDULGENCES
In a news release today, Zenit, a Roman Catholic news agency makes an offer that's hard to refuse. "The Medallion of the Pontificate Can Be Yours ! The person who registers most [sic] gift subscriptions will receive The Gold Medal of the Pontificate (this is the same medallion that the Holy Father gives to Heads of State when they visit the Vatican). ZENIT will also award Silver papal medallions to the persons who register the greatest number of gift subscriptions in each of the different language editions (Spanish, English, French, and German). Finally, runners-up in each language edition will receive 10 rosaries blessed by the Pope. The ZENIT 2002-2003 Gift Campaign in English will end on January 26. Give a ZENIT subscription now!"
