Pilgrim Air

Did we hear that right? The Vatican running a budget airline to transport pilgrims to shrines? Eye hastily checked the websites. Sure enough, God's own airline will be taking the devoted to Lourdes (eight million visitors a year), Fatima and other holy places. The Vatican will charter the planes from the Italian Post Office and at night the seats will come out to deliver mail. The first trips are apparently a sell-out. We wonder what the Climate Camp will make of this.
