Suscipiat Dominus Sacrificium

That charming old codger, the Lord of Hosts, has been up to His merciful pranks again. Whether in reaction to the Pope's latest proposal for tolerating the sin of homosexuality, or as a rebuke to the excess of bodily autonomy granted to Mexican women, God allowed a church roof in the north of that country to collapse during mass on Sunday, fatally squashing ten of His dupes and injuring sixty more. Only about a hundred people were in the church at the time; which, even allowing for the Almighty's sportsgodship in suffering little children to constitute thirty per cent of the fatalities, makes for quite a decent bag. In the aftermath, the Mexican Council of Bishops offered a chorus of mumbles; while the diocese gave praise unto the Providence that sent the faithful to their reward, and also to the rescuers who prevented further casualties, naturally in that order.
