The lay-run Padre Pio Centre in Pennsylvania appeals the Allentown bishop's ban on Masses at the site. God bless 'em, but I have to think that this is just a political maneuver with the aim of negotiating a deal, 'cause I can't imagine any argument that would give the Centre -- not a recognized Catholic institution -- a permanent right to let priests say Mass there.

In case anyone was wondering, the Latin sentence I posted last night was my translation of "A snowball's chance in hell."
