The Pope to present 'Thought of the Day' on Christmas Eve.

H/t to Pastor in Valle for this great news. Clearly our dear Holy Father is not going to 'let us go'. Congratulation to Mark Thompson for making this possible. Much better now than during the Papal visit. The naysayers have already accused the BBC of being obsessed with religion! The audience figures will be interesting indeed. Apparently the programme has already been recorded in Rome this week.
