The
spectacular lightening strike on St
Peter's on February 11th, a few hours after the Pope announced his
intention of abdicating drew predictable comments in the press and
suggests that people still look for signs and wonders, for portents and
supernatural indicators. The modern scientific mind is likely to dimiss
such things as coincidence at best, although lightening in February is
rarer than at other times of the year. Yesterday evening I was, however,
told by a priest of one explanation - one which saw the lightening as neither
approval or disapproval, but a Divine message none the less - simply
that God is still very much in business. I merely pass on the idea for
reflection.

I opt for the wrath explanation, and the way things are panning out... the next strike could very well take out the dome, if not the whole basilica.
