Pope\u2019s Cologne<\/a>.<\/p>\nI thought the Pope\u2019s Cologne was one of B16\u2019s German cathedral cities, but it seems a California perfumier has resurrected a formula for a papal perfume. This adds a whole new dimension to \u2018smells and bells\u2019. I wonder if there is a special way to apply the stuff. Ring a little bell, dip your finger in the cologne, then make the sign of the cross on each wrist and behind your ears?<\/p>\n
With the Italian heat and all those robes, I\u2019m sure the body odor factor gets pretty high in the Vatican. If the cologne sells well maybe they will come out with a whole range of high class men\u2019s toiletries. I can see fast paced TV ads featuring handsome seminarians splashing on the after shave. Will there be shower gel, underarm spray, shaving cream and a new range of razors patterned after the Swiss guards\u2019 halberd?<\/p>\n
Speaking of the odor of sanctity, I recently bought a new rosary supposedly made from rose petals. I think it has been soaked in rose oil and my study now smells heavily of cheap perfume.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m only a convert. Can someone tell me whether I am supposed to:<\/p>\n
a.) like this, and thank the Lord that I now belong to a religion that is not ashamed of the physical aspects of worship.<\/p>\n
b.) put up with it as a penance<\/p>\n
c.) soak the thing in bleach to get rid of the smell<\/p>\n
d.) not tell anyone, so they think when they enter my study it is permeated with the odor of sanctity and they are in the presence of a living saint.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
