Spiritual Guts

As befits an institution recently honoured with sexual entry by Boris Johnson, the Church of Rome has spent much of its history urging sufferers to dedicate their pain to Him who inflicted it. Nevertheless, the Pope has condescended, doubtless in all humility, to submit himself and his intestinal complaint to the materialistic attentions of mere worldly medicine. Although presumably present by the will of the Almighty, the discomforts of His Holiness were evidently not severe enough to be offered up as a sacrifice in tribute to the divine mercy.
