Pope on Twitter

I just had 'Twitter' news of the Pope blaming journalism for bad news. Somewhat curious at this Catholic concern, reminiscent of the road sign, 'Diversion', I fire off this reply.
The Pope's job, as a principal member of the self appointed agents for our Creator, is to counter such doom with truthful opinions, that we can assume have his Masters approval.
What does the Pope's God have to say about 4 million Syrian refugees? Are his, and all other religions, aware that some person, supposedly acting on behalf of 'their' God, has caused this mayhem?
Although it is a different religion, I read that they claim there is only one God, thus it is the same God as yours..
I ask you, Mr Pope, Mt Archbishop of Canterbury, and your many and varied etc's, what do you believers in God have to say about this?
Don't write back to me; and don't limit the news by preaching  it to your congregation. Walk your brains out of  your cloisters: give them some air, and then spill your thoughts to the considerably larger World outside your churches.

Nessie versus Lambton Worm

A love of life requires people to mix, else some can delude themselves they are superior, others can think themselves inferior, and neither is the case.
There is no greater leveler, than that found in the tossing sprouts contest.
[see www.frederickwebb.co.uk]

To bring about harmony abroad, one must always start close to home, and the idea of the Loch Ness monster, engaging in a sprout tossing contest with the Lambton Worm of Northumbria, must attract interest from all humanitarians.
I would like to elaborate on the many and curious joys to be found in such a contest; but as I'm fully aware of the residual wit of both Jocks and Geordies, let them tell us of this sporting event. Is it between two giants of the human imagination, or some shy immenseness of secretive elusiveness??
This is a blog to make you think and laugh.
