Something i grabbed out of the Seattle Times that made me both wince and laugh
at the same time:

"If all copies of Pope John Paul II's new CD sell, he'll claim the best
selling record of all time.  Come March 29, 100 million copies of "Abba Pater"
will be released in 50 countries.  Produced by Sony and Vatican Radio, the
album features the pope doing prayers in five languages over a background of
world and classical music.  "It's not Bach, Beethoven, or Springsteen," says
Sony exec Fausto Barzaghi.  "More like ecclesiastical rap."
