A Penitent Blogger

Mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? Quem patronum rogaturus? Cum vix iustus sit securus?
Recordare, Iesu pie, Quod sum causa tuae viae: Ne me perdas illa die...

Here, there and everywhere

No nation can maintain a full embassy and ambassador
in every other nation in the world. Sometimes a single
person must be an ambassador to more than one country
at the same time.

Back in October, the Holy Father raised an American
priest and Vatican diplomat Monsignor Thomas
Gullickson to the level of ambassador, appointing him
Apostolic Nuncio to

Trinidad and Tobago
The Bahamas
Dominica
Saint Kitts and Nevis
Saint Lucia
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

All at once.

He was consecrated an Archbishop on November 11 in his
native Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Since then, the
following ambassadorial appointments have been added
to his plate:

Antigua and Barbuda
Barbados
Jamaica
Guyana
Suriname

And, as of yesterday, Grenada.

How about those frequent flier miles?
