Venetian Woman Recalls Pope’s Venice Era Stories
A Venetian woman who knew the Pope as Patriarch of Venice recounts in the Rome Tribune episodes from his early life. The cleric, a strict disciplinarian, opposed priests smoking in the streets and insisted hats remain worn by his family’s daughters, insisting hats were their trade. He later became Pope and, in a gesture toward a dying priest, affirmed an apostolic blessing via a Jew despite non Christians guiding the ritual. The Pope longs to see Venice’s Campanile rebuilt and imagines a distant reconciliation with Italy possible, perhaps in fifty years.

The method is cheap, easy for rural use, and uses readily available soils and weeds. An oak log example from a south Russian site illustrates the concept.
