Feeding the marching souls
Ireland. Doesn’t come up a lot in conversation — but be it known Halloween was invented in Ireland.
So His Eminence, Timothy Cardinal Dolan invited a few of the faithful for breakfast before the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Although he loves New York and New York loves him, not a huge crowd. Maybe only four leprechauns are still left in Galway.
Due to the country’s tax breaks it’s like the 51st state. Kill that and in 15 minutes the whole green country turns into the Sahara. It’s where Guinness came from in the 1700s. And where in the 2025s many a stomach carries it.
His Eminence — new robes due to his loss of weight — worked his downstairs dining room, reception room and waiting room. Many invitees wore green. Cobbled together the few hundred or so looked like the Pine Barrens in the Hamptons.
I couldn’t get down on my knees for the St. Pat’s Mass. Isn’t because I’m not respectful — but because I’d never be able to get back up.
So I did the only intelligent thing.
